Pruning shears No name GELBHORN 140 bypass-type AF G140, 140 mm blade length

GELBHORN 140 pruning shears by No name (bypass-type AF G140) are hand-held garden secateurs with a 140 mm blade length designed for precise cutting of stems and small branches. The bypass cutting mechanism produces a clean shearing action that preserves plant tissue, making these secateurs suitable for trimming shrubs, roses and small fruit branches in routine garden care. Their size and blade length balance reach and control for typical home garden tasks.

Advantages

The bypass mechanism ensures a scissor-like cut that reduces crushing and promotes healthier wound closure on plants. A 140 mm blade provides extended cutting length for thicker stems while maintaining maneuverability for detailed pruning. The tool is lightweight and shaped for two-handed control when needed, enabling accurate cuts close to the stem collar. Materials and blade geometry are selected to give reliable shearing performance for general garden maintenance.

Suitable for

• Trimming shrubs and hedges
• Pruning roses and flowering perennials
• Cutting small fruit tree shoots and saplings
• Routine garden maintenance and plant shaping

Key specifications

• Tool type: bypass pruning shears
• Blade length: 140 mm
• Cutting action: scissor-like bypass cut for clean shearing
• Recommended cutting material: stems, shoots and small branches
• Intended users: home gardeners and general garden maintenance

How to use

Position the bypass shears so the cutting blade passes by the counter blade and place the cut just above the bud or branch collar to promote healthy regrowth. Use a clean, single decisive stroke for each cut; avoid rocking motions that can damage the blade edge and plant tissue. For thicker stems, open the shears fully and apply steady pressure; if a stem is too large for the tool, use a larger branch cutter to avoid damaging the blades. After use, wipe the blades clean and dry to prevent sap buildup and corrosion.

Recommendations

Regularly sharpen and oil the blades to maintain cutting performance, inspect the pivot for secure fastening, and store the shears in a dry place. Wear gloves and follow basic safety precautions when pruning to protect hands and avoid injury.
