Pruning Shears Explained: Choose the Best Pruners For Your Garden
Pruning is one of the most common tasks we have in the garden, so it makes sense to have a full understanding of the different types of pruning shears out there. From anvil pruners to bypass pruners, we’ll talk about the different types, shapes, and technologies that these garden tools use to help you get the job done in the garden.
I’m a big fan of going deep on the research and nerding out so you don’t have to, and hopefully after this video you’ll be able to pick the type of pruner that works best for your preferences and garden.

Great explanation! I really did not know how each of them differed. I would appreciate a little lesson in pruning various ants, when to..when not to…etc. also, I know you were giving a review of this specific company but what brand do you personally like? Fiskars seems to be the go to for most that I watch but, is there another lesser known brand you like and why?
FELCO should be in its own category.
All things equal, stainless is toughfer than carbon steels
Thank you so much for making this video!! I know what pruner I need now!
I have started a handyman business and I am learning alot about proper plant care. Yes, I was the guy who used hedge trimmers for all trimming and pruning tasks but I am changing my colors. Thankyou for explaining the differences in hand clippers/ pruners.
I’ve always used regular scissors. Maybe I’ll get the bypass pruner
Just got a 3 pack strong but only has a 3/4 inch cut lol next time ima go bigger but these are strong as they are from homedepot wss they are called
This isn’t even related to a pruner but I just got my dragon fruit a few weeks ago and I had over watered an Aloe Vera so I clipped them and ground the gel and watered them straight with that and the dragon fruit grew up real quick
Super useful!!! Thank you!
Yes!! Totally confused. Thanks for this vid.
Great video.
Whit
where i can get that kind of pruners
How to prune for optimal growth
How and when should we sterilize our tools?
Do you put something on the living plan stem to avoid bacteria getting in?
Great video for someone new to gardening like myself.
Nice video!!!….for 2 inch dia branch?
I need help on this, save me a lot of time.
I can’t believe I’ve never heard of ratchet pruners!! Exactly what I’ve been needing lately. Thank you for making this video, super helpful 😀
Fruit tree pruning how to videos for young trees. Peach, plum, fig, pomegranate, and citrus tree.
Could I use a sterile straight razor for garden herbs like mint and basil, and cherry tomato plants etc.?
Felco 2 for live pruning.
Thank you— sometimes I see pruning shears or larger pruners with titanium; your thoughts?
Fiskars fine tip precision pruner. Great for thinning out seedlings! I also use rubbing alcohol to disinfect all my pruners/secateurs… what do you use?
I like the tree in your back ground
Skillfully done. Thanks.
I don’t know how I pick what I use. My first choice is going to be my newest bypass followed by a ratchet pruner. I don’t so much like anvil but I use them when trimming small trees. I have small hands and not that strong so I work with what will do the job with the less effort.
REALLY appreciated the clarity and pace of this vid. Exactly what I was after. Thanks so much for putting it out there!
Pruning currants, jostaberry, and gooseberry.
But I doubt in your area you grow them.
Is that a house built around a tree behind you?
Great explanation and tips on these pruners. Thank you so much! 😊
Omg thank you!!! I just got a job on a flower farm and definitely need bypass shears!👌🏻
I’ve had my steel Fiskars bypass pruners since abt 1997-98. They are still in fantastic shape as I make sure to clean and sharpen them after every season’s use. I also have had my Fiskars Micro-Tip snips for about 10-11 yrs now and they still cut like hot butter. And those poor souls have been left outside accidentally several times. 💚.
Also, can you show us which veggies would be best to prune? I prune basil, tomatoes and peppers but I’ve never touched cucumbers or others.
Thank you for explaining the differences. I am being taught by a master gardener on how to prune instead of pulling out the hedge trimmers that butcher the poor plant. Thank you again.
Is there a place where we could ask you specific questions about gardening?
Those are pretty looking tools, thanks for making this video to explain their proper uses.
Where did you get your raised bed from? That is awesome!
What’s your fav pruner?
Great video!! Thank you!!
Super useful, thank you so much! Saved me money and time!
I got new by pass at wm great price
How to sharpen them….? 🙂
What do you recommend for cutting succulents for indoor use?
This is extremely helpful. Great, simple presentation. Please show us how to prune fruit trees.
The latching mechanism on some wears quite quickly and stops functioning. Some also will cease to stop the pruner from spreading so far that the spring will become unhooked and fall to the ground and possibly be lost. I’ve found it difficult to find one that will last in those two areas.
What type of raised bed is behind you in this video ? How does it compare to the birdies metal beds
what do u use for ginger lillies
Just FYI – Centurion is having issues on their site… grrrr.
Explanation is very clear and well presented 👍🏼
Thank you for the information. Very informative. Greetings from Turkey.
