Bypass Pruners for Medium to Large Hands and Branches up to 3/4 Inch
If you have medium to large hands and do most of your cutting on live stems and small branches, these pruners are sized for you. The bypass blade makes clean cuts on shrubs, grapevines, and flowers up to 3/4 inch thick, which covers routine shaping and trimming without reaching for larger yard tools.
The integrated spring cushions each cut and reopens the blades, and the soft grip covers keep the handles comfortable during extended use. They fit your situation if you want a single hand pruner to carry in your garden tool kit for both fine stems and thicker growth.
What to Expect from the Tabor Tools S834A Bypass Pruning Shears in Real Use
Expect sharp, solid pruners that feel comfortable in the hand. Customers report clean, smooth cuts on both fine stems and thicker branches, so there is no need to carry a second pair for light work. A grower with 750 fruit trees uses them for rapid pruning of smaller branches during orchard work, alongside battery powered equipment. A former landscaper judged them well made enough for professional use.
The lock gets specific praise. Squeezing the handles releases it, and pressing a button with the blades closed locks it, though a reviewer needed two tries to engage it. The spring is described as strong and secure. Some limits are noted.
Thicker branches can take more than one clip, depending on hand strength. The blade needs frequent cleaning to keep cutting efficiently. Twisting during a cut can bend the blade, so keep the cut angle straight. The handles are shaped for right handed use, according to a reviewer who also tried them in the left hand.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the lock work on Tabor Tools S834A pruning shears?
To unlock the pruners, squeeze the handles and the lock releases automatically. To lock them, close the blades and press the button. You may need to press it a second time to get it to engage.
Can left handed gardeners use the Tabor Tools S834A?
The handles are shaped for a right handed grip. You can hold and use the pruners in your left hand, and they can feel comfortable that way, but comfort over long term left handed use is not established.
How do you keep bypass pruners cutting cleanly?
Clean the blade often, since buildup on the blade reduces how efficiently it cuts. Keep the angle of your cut straight as well. Twisting the pruners under pressure can bend the blade, which slows your cutting even though the tool still works.
