Sharpening ability<\/strong><\/p><p>When buying shears to last a long time, one thing to look for is whether the blades can be sharpened. All blades dull over time if not kept sharp, and a dull blade can slip or damage the plant you are pruning. This Centurion Pro-Series model has blades made of high-carbon steel for ease of sharpening. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.centurionbrands.com\/?product=pro-series-bypass-pruner-s1-062\">Centurion Pro-Series Bypass Pruner<\/a><\/p><p><strong>2. Pruning diameter<\/strong><\/p><p>Another detail to pay attention to when selecting a pruner is the maximum pruning diameter. These pruners are labelled for 1\u201d, which means it can be used on branches less than an inch in diameter. Don\u2019t try to cut branches larger than the maximum diameter, or you could damage the plant stems or your tool. Larger branches will likely need a hand saw.<\/p><p><strong>3.
