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

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. |
| The
ergonomic pruner improves your . . .
- Comfort
- Security
- Health
- 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
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. |

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

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
