RECOMMENDED USE
SW-768 42MMThe only double-blade one: the plant notices it.
The two blades move together and close in the middle of the branch, instead of crushing it against the counter-blade. The wound is clean, the plant closes it sooner and you put less force on your wrist. If you prune young trees, delicate varieties or plants that suffer, there is nothing else in the catalogue that does this.

Technical cutting edge
Double blade and counter-blade movement for ultra-precise cuts that spare the plant.
For those in two minds
42 mm is the right size if you're torn between a 40 mm and a 45 mm shear.
All-purpose
Olive, fruit trees, almond, hazel, cherry. At home anywhere. Used with the cable, it's a pleasure in the vineyard too.
Less strain on the hand
The double moving blade holds the branch instead of pulling it: less strain on the wrist and less stress for the plant.

Frequently asked questions
People also ask
What are the SW-768 42 mm shears recommended for?
The difference from other similar models?
Compared with the PRU-45 PLUS, you lose a little maximum opening (45 mm vs 42 mm) and some force on very hard wood, but you gain precision, control and less fatigue.
The 42 mm is a shear that can give you an excellent balance.
Is it heavy to use all day?
Is it compatible with the telescopic pole?
And if you put together the shears + pole + pruner kit, you get an automatic 10% discount on every item; message us on WhatsApp for help choosing the best configuration.
