STAYS SHARP LONGER - Rust and corrosion resistant polished carbon steel blades will help your garden tool stay sharp longer, especially if you follow our simple maintenance and care tips. COMFORTABLE TO HOLD AND USE - The ergonomic hand formed design of these pruners, combined with the dripped handles, make gardening a real pleasure to do. PLUS, the amazing safety lock will make you feel secured when tending your garden. CLASSIC BYPASS DESIGN - Our 8 inch (20.32 cm) professional bypass pruning shears are best for cutting and trimming live stems and thin tree branches, and for snipping flowers and fresh herbs. STURDY AND RELIABLE - As well as the toughened blades, the body itself is made from drop forged aluminum, which means our shears are both lightweight and robust. USE THEM ANYWHERE - These secateurs are great not only for cutting stems, flowers and light branches in your garden, but also in your greenhouse, inside your home, for window boxes, or even at the office.
