Know before you buy
The micro-tip design allows you to reach into tight, crowded foliage without damaging surrounding stems. Because the blades are ultra-sharp and cut cleanly to the very tip, they are ideal for precise deadheading and shaping small plants.
The blades feature a non-stick coating specifically designed to prevent resin and sap buildup. This keeps the cutting action smooth and prevents the blades from jamming during extended pruning sessions.
Yes, these snips have earned the Arthritis Foundation’s Ease-of-Use Commendation. They feature an Easy Action spring that gently opens the blades after every cut, significantly reducing the effort required by your hand.
Yes, they include a sliding locking mechanism to keep the blades securely closed when you are finished working. They also come with a blade cover for added safety during storage.
While the fully hardened stainless steel is designed to maintain its edge for a long time, you can maintain the blades with a standard sharpening tool if they eventually dull. However, the non-stick coating may be affected by aggressive sharpening.
