Know before you buy
The straight micro tip is designed for precision work, such as deadheading flowers, harvesting herbs, or performing delicate pruning in tight spaces where larger shears might damage surrounding foliage.
Yes, the stainless steel construction offers excellent corrosion resistance, making them durable for outdoor use. To maintain the edge and prevent oxidation, we recommend wiping the blades clean and dry after each use.
The two-component design combines a rigid core for structural stability with a softer, ergonomic outer layer. This provides a non-slip grip that reduces hand fatigue during repetitive cutting tasks.
These shears are optimized for precision and light pruning rather than heavy-duty cutting. They are best used on soft green stems and small, tender branches; attempting to cut thick, woody material may damage the fine tips.
The product design focuses on a streamlined, ergonomic build for immediate use. Always store them in a secure location out of reach of children, as the micro tips remain sharp.
