The key features of garden scissors (snips or harvesting scissors):

• Precision-ground, sharp blades made of durable carbon steel for clean cuts. Thin blades enable delicate, precision cutting for flowers, herbs, and soft stems.
• Ergonomic handles, designed for comfort during prolonged use, providing a secure, non-slip grip and reducing hand strain and improving control.
• A secure locking feature keeps the blades closed when not in use, ensuring safety when carrying or in storage.
• Garden snips are lightweight and easy to handle, ideal for intricate and delicate tasks, like trimming flowers and herbs.
• To keep tools in good condition, wipe with an oily rag after use. To clean and remove sap use a mixture of methylated sprits and oil.
