One tool makes the clean, even graft cut that decides whether your fruit tree or rose takes. The ratchet head, steel blade and adjustable knob line up scion and rootstock, and the tape roll binds the joint in the same session.
Makes precise grafts in one tool
- uneven graft cuts
- slow manual grafting
- loose graft joints
Precise grafts, in one tool
Uneven cuts and loose joints waste a whole season. Make each cut clean, each fit snug and each wrap secure, then watch your fruit trees and roses take.
Built to make one clean cut at a time
- Ratchet head for repeatable cuts
The ratchet-style head and steel blade give every cut the same angled face, so scion and rootstock meet flat. Repeat the cut across a batch and the surfaces match from one graft to the next.
- Adjustable knob for every stock size
Turn the orange knob to set the cutting head for the diameter of your rootstock and scion. The return spring resets the handle after each cut, so a row of grafts moves at a steady pace.
- Blade inserts and tape in one kit
Two blade inserts and a roll of green grafting tape ship with the pruner. Keep a spare insert in your apron and the session never stops for a trip to the shed.
Cut, fit, wrap in one motion
- 1Set the knob
Turn the orange knob to the diameter of your rootstock and check the setting before the first cut.
- 2Cut the rootstock
Make an angled cut on the rootstock with the steel blade, keeping the face flat and clean.
- 3Match the scion
Cut the scion to match the rootstock face so the two surfaces meet along the cambium.
- 4Fit the joint
Press the scion and rootstock together with the cambium lined up along at least one side.
- 5Wrap firmly
Start below the cut and wrap upward with the green tape, overlapping each turn and covering the joint fully.

What to expect this grafting season
- First useClean first cut
Set the knob, make an angled cut on rootstock and scion, and check the surface. A smooth, flat face shows the blade is seated and sharp.
- 3 usesFaster, steadier rhythm
Cut, fit and wrap start to feel like one motion. Your joints look more uniform from one graft to the next.
- 30 daysJoints checked
Check your grafts in the weeks after wrapping. Snug, well-matched unions are the goal. Take rates depend on tree health and timing.

Questions and answers
The kit includes two blade inserts, so you can match the cut to the stock you are working with. Thin rose stems and thicker apple or pear rootstock call for different cuts. Set the orange knob to the rootstock first, then cut both pieces at that same setting.
For the graft cut itself, yes. A knife leaves an angled face that changes with your hand, and regular pruners tend to leave a rougher surface. The grafting head makes the matching cut in one motion. Keep your regular pruners for the rest of the garden.
If you graft once a year, the value is in fewer lost grafts. A failed joint costs a season and often a rootstock. The steel blade, the adjustable knob and the included tape cover the whole job, so you do not buy a separate knife and tape to finish it. Measure that against one lost rootstock and the kit pays for itself quickly.
Wipe the blade with rubbing alcohol between grafts and swap in the second insert when the edge dulls. A clean, sharp face is what lets the cambium line up.
Start below the cut and wrap upward, overlapping each turn and covering the joint fully. Loose tape lets the joint shift and dry out before it knits.
