A variation on the anvil theme, our ratchet pruner increases cutting force by up to a third. So weaker hands have an easier time cutting through stems and deadwood up to 3/4″ thick.

Popular Questions
What is the The Rumford Gardener PRU3104 Ratchet Anvil Pruner designed to cut?
The Rumford Gardener PRU3104 Ratchet Anvil Pruner is designed for pruning tasks that require repeated squeezing, such as cutting small branches and tough garden stems. Its ratchet action lets you make a cut in several shorter squeezes instead of relying on one strong grip. Check the branch size before cutting and avoid using the pruner on material thicker than its stated capacity.
How does the ratchet action on the Rumford Gardener PRU3104 help gardeners?
The ratchet mechanism reduces the hand force needed during a cut by advancing through the branch in stages. This can be useful for gardeners who find conventional pruners difficult to close on firm wood. Position the anvil beneath the branch, squeeze the handles fully, and repeat the motion until the cut is complete.
How should you use the Rumford Gardener PRU3104 Ratchet Anvil Pruner safely?
Wear gloves and keep your fingers away from the cutting area when operating the Rumford Gardener PRU3104 Ratchet Anvil Pruner. Place the branch securely against the anvil before applying pressure, and do not twist the tool while the blade is engaged. Lock the pruner closed when carrying or storing it, and keep it away from children.
How do you maintain the The Rumford Gardener PRU3104 Ratchet Anvil Pruner?
Remove plant residue after each use and wipe the blade and anvil dry to help prevent corrosion. Apply a small amount of suitable tool oil to the pivot and ratchet mechanism, then operate the handles several times to distribute it. Inspect the blade, anvil, and locking mechanism regularly, and stop using the pruner if any part becomes loose or damaged.
