Description

Bypass Pruner. Material: metal. Size: 4 1/2" x 12". Description: steel triangular blades riveted at base extend into red painted handles that operate the blades with scissor-like action; spring separates blades near base; thumb rest extensions and hanger loop.

Context

Bypass pruners handle the detail work of gardening. Like scissors do, the blade passes by a flat base and the cut is made as the blade passes over. A handheld bypass pruner can be used to trim vine stalks, to finish off hedges, or to manicure flowerbeds. This pruner was used first by the father of Waseca resident John Teskey.
