Pruning Shears Diagram - Garden Tool Anatomy & Function #3458800 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white line drawing depicts a bypass-style pruning shear, featuring a sharp, beveled upper blade that slides past a flat lower anvil blade, enabling precise, clean cuts on live wood without crushing stems. The long handles provide leverage, while the pivot pin and finger loop ensure controlled operation. Such tools are essential for pruning shrubs, vines, and small branches up to ¾ inch in diameter.
