These are the best scissors ever!Super sharp, perfect for cutting, trimming all types of flowers, plants including thick, hard to cut stems.Also great around the house for everyday use cutting paper, plastic, cardboard and many, many, other uses.I have purchased numerous pairs and often give them as a gift to friends.Highly recommended!!

Nice little shears. I'm using them to remove spent flowers and leaves from my African violets. My regular kitchen scissors worked OK for the job, but these are a bit more nimble because of the thinner blades, which can more easily get between the leaves. I keep them on my plant stand so they're handy. So far they're holding up great and seem to be of decent quality. They feel nice in my hand, which I like. Good tools like this are a pleasure to use.

I love these shears. Big handles for my extra large hands, really sharp, cutting little errant branches on my bonsai is a breeze BUT they rust. I live on Long Island and everything not coated in grease rusts but these things live indoors and are used sparingly. I would have expected the stainless steel to be better than it is. I'm sure the rust is just surface marking and would easily clean up with a scour pad but I don't think it should be there at all considering the conditions it works in. I was going to buy another pair but have decided to go with a different brand, they are a little cheaper and they haven't rusted on me yet.

These r great IMO IF you don't need flexibility of cutting, trimming almost size encountered with one shear and have many hrs. of work to do. For me, any spring loaded snips r prone to give me numbing in hands after awhile. I have learned the slide locks do not hold up for me. I prefer the ARS brand, have collection of varied ARS snips and some decades old but perform like those right out of the box. Working, just toss em in jar of alcohol and keep working then wipe em down and on i go. Oil and tighten screw every few yrs). Better than other bonsai or botanicals snips, ARS brand stays super sharp and admit have no problems if cutting fine, fine manicure or thru that massive main stem. For all your oils, butters, tinctures, salves, lotions..use code for discount[...]Happy!

Fantastic gardening shears for a variety of reasons:1) They cut through wood and non-woody stems alike very easily and cleanly.2) They clean off very easily and appear to be corrosion resistant.3) The narrow blades make them great for harvesting various things -- I use them often for citrus, and it's way more effective than the twist method.Highly recommend these...

I purchased these to trim my Japanese maples.My first impression was that the build was good and they were very sharp. The downside was thw fingwr enclosures were too small, and my hands are on the medium side. I could not find comfort within the enclosures. Perhaps the 60mm nippers would be a better choice. so I returned them In any event, I returned them with no problem.. The only reason for the 3 is as I stated in the review:Uncomfortably small

Perfect size. Sharp. Great for trimming herbs and tender plants.
