Fiskars Pro SoftGrip Bypass Pruning Shears — 1" Cut Capacity, PowerArc Curved Blades & SoftGrip Handle

Fiskars Pro SoftGrip Bypass Pruning Shears are durable, ergonomic garden clippers with PowerArc curved blades that make clean cuts up to 1" with less hand effort.

These professional-style bypass pruners combine a cast-aluminum frame, sharpenable high-carbon steel blades and a cushioned SoftGrip handle designed to reduce fatigue and improve control. Built for frequent use, the pruners include a non-stick blade coating, spring-assisted opening and shock-reducing bumpers so each cut is smoother and steadier. The compact 1" cut capacity suits tasks from stem pruning to light branch trimming, while replaceable blades and a simple locking mechanism extend the tool’s usable life.

How do these pruners make cutting easier?

The Fiskars Pro model uses PowerArc technology—intelligently curved blades that change the contact angle as you close the tool—so each stroke slices with more efficiency and up to 20% less effort. A spring opens the blades after each cut to speed up repetitive work and multiple grip options on the handle let you find a comfortable hand position.

• PowerArc curved blade geometry for cleaner, lower-force cuts
• Leaf-spring opening reduces repetitive strain
• SoftGrip handle with multiple grip positions for better leverage

Are these blades long-lasting and serviceable?

Yes—blades are forged from high-carbon steel for edge retention and can be sharpened or replaced when needed. A non-stick coating lowers friction during cuts and helps prevent sap build-up, while the simple blade mount makes maintenance straightforward.

• High-carbon steel blades hold an edge longer
• Non-stick finish reduces buildup and cut force
• Sharpenable and replaceable blade design for extended lifespan

Will these hold up under regular garden use?

The body uses cast-aluminum construction to resist bending and everyday wear, while shock-absorbing bumpers cushion each closure to protect your hands. The pruners are balanced for control and built to withstand frequent trimming of stems, flowers and light woody growth.

• Durable cast-aluminum handles for long-term strength
• Shock-reducing bumpers minimize impact and hand fatigue
• Compact, robust build suitable for daily garden tasks

How safe and convenient are these to carry and store?

A secure locking catch keeps the blades closed when not in use, and a secondary smaller lock setting prevents overextension of the handles for controlled, quick cuts. The bright SoftGrip handle also makes the tool easier to locate in a shed or bag.

• Primary locking latch keeps blades closed in storage
• Secondary lock setting limits handle spread for safe, precise cuts
• High-visibility SoftGrip handle for quick identification

Who is this for? Home gardeners, landscapers and horticulture enthusiasts who need a reliable, low-fatigue pruner for everyday trimming will appreciate the Fiskars Pro SoftGrip Bypass Pruning Shears. They are especially useful for users who value ergonomics and durability: those who prune roses, shrubs, perennials and light woody growth will find the 1" cut capacity and PowerArc blades well matched to routine garden chores. If you need a heavy lopper for thicker branches, pair these pruners with larger cutting tools; for precise, frequent snipping and professional-grade feel, these shears deliver dependable performance.
