These light and compact snips are perfect for delicate cutting and light pruning. More lightweight than secateurs and small enough to sit comfortably in the palm of your hand, they’re the ideal choice for precision tasks like flower arranging, deadheading and bonsai.

The Japanese high carbon steel blades give them a clean precise cut, and their long reach and snappy cutting action makes it easy to get through lots of stems quickly. The lightweight aluminium handles have soft non-slip grips to offer maximum comfort when using them over long periods. Both the spring and blades are replaceable to keep these snips as springy and sharp as the day you bought them. With any steel blades, it’s best to clean them with fresh water and dry well after use to prevent corrosion. A final wipe over with an oiled cloth will provide an extra layer of protection (vegetable oil is fine).
