Garden Snips

We all need a good pair of snips, ones that can live in pockets without doing any harm, and wander round the garden with us for those unplanned moments - and these ones are great. Slender blades get right in for careful snipping, red white handles show up when you (almost inevitably) leave them lying around somewhere. Handy to have a couple of pairs really, as they are absolutely brilliant for flowers, fruit and veg, but aren’t nearly as tough as secateurs, obviously, and are for green growth only, not woody pruning. Tips: Keep them clean. Precision blades like this pick up sap and resin. Made in Sanjo, Japan
