RYOBI ONE+ HP 18V Brushless Cordless Pruner (Tool Only) — 1" Cut Capacity, Lightweight with LED

The RYOBI ONE+ HP 18V Brushless Cordless Pruner (Tool Only) is a compact battery-powered pruning shear that delivers fast, clean bypass cuts up to 1 inch with a brushless motor and ONE+ battery compatibility.

Lightweight and ergonomically balanced, this cordless pruner replaces repetitive manual shears for quicker tidying of shrubs, small branches, and garden maintenance. The ONE+ HP system ramps up motor efficiency so each trigger pull slices more quickly than traditional cordless options, while the bypass blade design helps preserve plant health by producing smooth cuts. This listing is for the tool only; it accepts any RYOBI 18V ONE+ battery (sold separately) so you can swap batteries across the platform.

How fast and powerful is the cutting action?

The brushless motor and HP (High Performance) electronics boost cutting speed, giving about 1.5 times faster cuts compared with previous models. That extra speed reduces the time you spend on repetitive pruning tasks and helps manage more yardwork between battery changes.

• Brushless motor for improved efficiency and runtime
• Rated to cut branches up to 1 inch in diameter
• ONE+ HP tuning yields quicker blade strokes per trigger pull

What kind of cuts does it make and how does it affect plants?

This tool uses a bypass-style cutting head, which shears past a fixed blade for cleaner, healthier-looking cuts on living growth. Smooth bypass cuts minimize crushing and tearing, making this pruner a good choice for shaping shrubs, snipping small limbs, and light pruning tasks.

• Bypass blades produce clean, accurate cuts that promote better plant recovery
• Suitable for stems, shoots, and small branches up to 1" diameter
• Sharp blade geometry for precise trimming and reduced effort

How comfortable and convenient is it to use in the yard?

The pruner is designed for user comfort during extended trimming sessions with a soft-grip handle and balanced feel. An integrated LED work light helps you see cutting lines in low light, and the single-trigger operation simplifies one-handed use so you can reposition plants with the other hand.

• Soft-grip handle reduces hand fatigue during repeated cuts
• On-board LED light improves visibility in shaded areas
• Compact, lightweight body for easy maneuvering around plants

What batteries and accessories fit this tool?

This pruner is part of the RYOBI ONE+ 18V ecosystem and accepts any ONE+ 18V battery (sold separately), giving you flexibility across tools. Because this listing is tool-only, you can pair it with the battery capacity that matches your workload—higher amp-hour packs extend runtime for larger jobs.

• Compatible with all RYOBI 18V ONE+ batteries and chargers
• Tool-only package lets you use existing RYOBI batteries to save cost
• Works with ONE+ accessories and battery maintenance systems

Who is this for? Home gardeners and property owners who want to speed up light pruning, shaping, and limb removal without hauling cords or tiring out their hands will appreciate this compact RYOBI cordless shear. It’s ideal if you already own RYOBI ONE+ batteries and want a reliable, quick-cutting tool for regular landscape upkeep. For heavier-duty tree work or branches larger than 1 inch, consider a larger pole saw or chainsaw in the RYOBI lineup.
