The Gardener’s Friend has announced the release of new ratchet pruning shears designed for seniors and individuals with arthritis or weak hands. The tools help users maintain their gardens with less hand strain and improved comfort.

The new pruning shears feature a ratcheting system that increases cutting power while reducing the force needed from the user’s hands. The tool can cut branches up to one inch in thickness and include handles shaped to reduce hand strain. The innovative design has earned the pruner several “Best of” honors from gardening publications such as orestry.com, Tom’s Guide, and The Spruce.com.

“We created these pruning shears to help people continue their passion for gardening regardless of age or physical limitations,” said a spokesperson for The Gardener’s Friend. “The ratcheting mechanism does the heavy work, while the SK5 hardened carbon steel blades ensure clean, precise cuts every time.”

The Arthritis Foundation notes that gardening provides important physical and mental health benefits for people with arthritis. The organization recommends specialized tools and adaptations to make gardening accessible to people with specific needs and limitations.

The pruning shears combine lightweight construction with ergonomic, non-slip grip handles, allowing users to work in their gardens for longer periods without discomfort. The tools maintain cutting effectiveness while prioritizing user comfort and safety.

Some other tools that can be found in the online store include hedge shears, pruning saws, and specialized pruning shears.

“We can’t cure arthritis or carpal tunnel syndrome, but if we can help someone with this debilitating disease to continue to experience the joy of being in the garden, then our mission will have been achieved,” Paul and Nancy Grimm, founders of The Gardener’s Friend, said.
