Best pruning shears in the vineyard maintenance

Hi, in this text, we will list a few Pruning shears that we used and know are good. 

There are pruning shears and electric/pneumatic pruning shears.

Hand pruners are great when you have a small vineyard with a dozen grapevines, but when you have a few hundred grapevines, then the best thing to do is to make an investment in your vineyard and buy an electric pruner. 

Pruning shears will do the job, but they depend on your strength if you press it to light the cut won’t be clean and, after a few hours of cutting, your hand gets tired.

Electric pruners can ease your job, but they are an investment.

A clean-cut is the best thing you can do for your vine. 

Uneven cuts make it harder for a plant to heal, expose more area to insects and disease, and create crevices in which water can collect, increasing the chance of infection and rot. 

You will need a reliable pair of hand pruners.

Here are a few hand pruners that we like.

Felco F-2 is a reliable hand pruner, if u want a pruner that will last,  this one is for you.

  • Anvil blade with a sap groove
  • A hardened bolt and nut to ensure exact adjustment of both the cutting and anvil blades
  • Rubber cushion and shock absorber
  • It is an ideal pruner for light applications and is easily adjustable
  • Features strong blades with a wire-cutting notch
  • Lightweight metal handles
  • Blades are made of high-quality hardened steel
  • Limited lifetime warranty,

Next Pruning shears are great for the ladies because they have a rotating handle so if they have nails it won’t hurt their hand. 

The rotating handle fits the shape and natural motion of your hand for comfortable use and reduced hand fatigue.
