What the Regulating Ratchet Nut on a 



Pair of Pruning Shears Means 



to Your Satisfaction 



BLADES and handles of a cutting instrument held together 

 by a bolt and nut will eventually work loose. At first, 

 adjustment can be made by tightening the nut, but use 

 loosens it again and in time the blades will again work apart. A 

 ratchet-nut, however, is tightened when wear is evident, and the 

 pawl slipped a notch or two ahead of the original notch. Thus the 

 blades are always held in close and firm adjustment. 



The ratchet pattern pruning shear is always worth the small 

 difference in price over the ordinary bolt and nut type. 



In using pruning shears, remember that they are not intended to 

 cut hard or dry wood.
