Bypass Pruners: Bypass pruners have blades that pass by each other like scissors, resulting in a clean and precise cut. They are suitable for delicate pruning tasks on live plants. Anvil Pruners: Anvil pruners have a single cutting blade that closes onto a flat surface (anvil). They are suitable for cutting dead or thicker branches where crushing is not a concern. Floral Snips: Floral snips are small, handheld cutting tools with short blades, ideal for delicate work such as flower arranging, deadheading, and precision pruning. Hori Hori Knife: The Hori Hori knife is a multipurpose Japanese gardening tool with a sharp, serrated edge on one side and a straight edge on the other.
