Know before you buy
These shears are designed for light pruning and are best suited for branches up to 6mm (approximately 0.236 inches) in diameter.
These are bypass shears, which function like scissors with two blades passing by each other. This design is ideal for making clean, precise cuts on live, green stems without crushing the plant tissue.
No, this specific model does not feature a safety lock mechanism. We recommend storing them in a secure place out of reach of children when not in use.
The blades on this model are not replaceable. However, the high carbon SK-5 steel with chrome plating is designed for long-term durability and resistance to rust.
These shears are intended for general garden maintenance, such as deadheading and light pruning. They are not designed for heavy-duty tasks or cutting through thick, woody branches.
