Sandvik P1 and P2 Vineyard Pruners
The world's best pruners
for vineyard work.

Slice Action
The wide-opening jaws allow large vine branches deep inside where the leverage is most effective. Once there, the slicing action helps the blade to smoothly cut through the wood leaving a clean and fast healing cut.
Comfort
Great attention has been paid to user comfort and reducing fatigue. Refinements include the subtle modelling of the handles which welcome various hand sizes and shapes, smooth surfaces to reduce friction blisters and improved shock absorption.
User Testing
The P1 and P2 models have been tested and retested by hundreds of professional users to obtain the best possible balance of spring tension, cutting efficiency, and overall comfort.

The new P1 and P2 models are each available in
two sizes to fit large, medium, and small hands.

These are the features which make the new
P1 and P2 a cut above all other vineyard pruners.

Rotating Handle
The P1 and P2 pruners have identical blades and counter-blades. The jaws of both models open wide to allow branches to close to the fulcrum where cutting efficiency is highest.

The Ps also features a rotating handle which has proven popular with many users.

Straight forward construction makes fitting new parts easy.

	Consumable Parts Sandvik tools are extremely robust, but with hard use, moving parts can become worn and lose efficiency. The construction of Sandvik pruners is very straight forward. A small wrench and a screwdriver are all you need to change parts and make adjustments. We stock a selection of replacement parts. These are clearly labeled with the designation of the tool and pictures to aid recognition.

PX&PXR
ergonomic pruners

Ergonomic pruner's main features:

Vertical and lateral inclinations
The vertical and lateral inclinations help you to keep arm and hand straight in line. Those angles then avoid pains on tendons and nerves while cutting (reduction of tennis elbow type pain -Epicondilytis- and wrist pains -Carpal Tunnel Syndrome-). Thanks to the consequent enhanced productivity, those angles also allow a substantial energy saving.

Shape of handles
Flowing shape of the handles has emerged from serious study of how pruners are used. They spread loads more evenly and concentrate pressure points away from sensitive zones and nerve centers.

Elastomer coating on upper handle
This soft material gives a better grip and spreads pressure over a larger surface. Moreover, you will need less effort to hold the tool all day long.

Choice of cutting head
By choosing the size of the cutting head, you get the right capacity of cut adapted to the task to be performed. It is advisable to use a small cutting head to protect against strains.

Choice of spring
Personalize your ergonomic pruner by choosing the spring strength that best fits your needs. A softer return spring helps reducing fatigue.

Efficiency

All pruning professionals are at risk of developing aches and pains through repeating the same motion thousands of times a day during the whole pruning season. Those pains, commonly called Cumulative Trauma Disorders, account for a large part of work related illnesses.

The design of the ergonomic pruner results from five years of scientific research and user testing all over the world.

The benefit of this new design can be felt in two major advantages : Less fatigue at the end of the day and a less painful, longer and more productive working life.

Vertical Inclination
Compared to a traditional pruner, the PX and PXR downward inclination compensates the wrist bending and allows the hand to remain in a neutral position, which reduces the risk of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

Lateral Inclination
Compared to a traditional pruner, the PX and PXR inclination to the left compensates the wrist bending and allows the hand to remain in a neutral position, which improves pressure capacity to be applied on handles and avoids M.S.D. (Musculo Skeletal Disorders).

Hand measuring system
Thanks to the different handle sizes available, it is the tool that is really adapting to your hand.

PX-M2
PX = Fixed Handle
M = Handle-Medium
2 = Head - Medium

PXR-M1
PXR = Rotate Handle
M = Handle-Medium
1 = Head - Small

PX Type
Fixed handle ergonomic pruner
The most innovative pruner design in the world. Ergonomic design in modular system that lets you build a pruner that fits perfectly into your hand. (choose your PX among the 9 available versions)

PXR Type
Rotating handle ergonomic pruner
Same head and palm handle as the PX, but with a comfortable, elastomer coated rotating handle. PXR feels like part of your hand and cuts with optimal accuracy and ease.

Other important features
Lockable center bolt system
No possible loosening while cutting
Easy to adjust
Pre-assembled spare cutting heads
Fully assembled cutting heads are available as spare part. Only two minutes are neded to have a new pruner adapted to the task to be performed. Do not hesitate to change your cutting head in order to have the one that perfectly fits your need.

	The ergonomic pruner modular system The modular system of the PX and PXR allows all cutting head sizes to be assembled with any handle size. Spring strength can also be chosen according to your current need. Moreover, all screws, washers, locking device, and lockable center bolt system are fully compatible with every version of the ergonomic pruner. *Advice:* Do not hesitate to choose the size of your cutting head according to the vine age and type, and to the way you want to prune. In young vines, for example, the small cutting head is better adapted as you will have no need for big cutting capacity, but for accuracy and quality of cut.

Ideal for end of season, clearing of vines from training wires and green pruning (ex: Chablis).

Ergo tip: highly recommended for users who are already suffering from aches and pains in their hand or arm.

Ideal for most popular training methods in vineyards up to 10 years of age (Guyot simple/double, cordon de royat).

Ergo tip: Recommended for users who do not feel any pain yet, but who want to avoid it.

Ideal for most popular training methods in vineyards over 10 years old.

Ergo tip: not recommended for users who already suffer from pains in the hand and arm. It is then advisable to use a lopper or a prunning saw when cutting large diameters.

Sandvik 129
The world's best snips for vineyard work.

Sandvik Saws and Tools, a leading producer of professional cutting tools, has developed a new generation of snips. The snips have been extensively tested in their respective applications. The snips are designed for use by grape growers to thin fines and harvest the grapes.

The P129 snip has a long, slim straight cutting head, and features a blade bent at an 11 degree angle to give better access to hidden stems. Both heads open to 35 mm and the blades are made from hardened, stamped steel to give a clean, efficient cut.

The snips are robust, lightweight, and comfortable to use over long periods.

The handles, made of glass fibre reinforced plastic are shaped to fit the contours of the hand and incorporate shock absorbing rubber buffers.

Sandvik is the first company to supply a holster as standard with all its snip models.

Sandvik Loppers

Blade and cutting edge are designed to prune aggressively, but with less effort, and still provide a smooth, clean cut.
Deep hooked counterblade traps branches close to the blade axis; allows better leverage and results in a more efficient and easier cut.
Rubber buffers of adjusting hardness cause less shock and reduce injuries to the elbow.
The lopper is properly balanced, which means less user fatigue.
Handles made of aerospace aluminum are extremely strong and very light.
Three tool lengths available for the required reach and for personal preference:
- P160-60; 60 cm, or 24"
- P160-75; 75 cm, or 30"
- P160-90; 90 cm, or 36"
Spare parts are available for all Sandvik Saws and Tools professional pruning tools.
