Nature Republic Backyard Garden Pros 11815 Comfort Grip Micro Tip Pruner Snip

As and avid gardener and plant enthusiast I often have to prune my plant collection. In the past I would reach for a pair of regular scissors and proceed on pruning my plants, having to stop often to give my hand a rest from the strain of using the large office style scissors. Another downside to using those scissors is I would often accidentally cut things I did not mean to cut!In steps the solution: Backyard Garden Pros Micro Tip Pruning Snips 11815. The key factors that make these snips great are:• Comfortable nonslip handle, safe to use with wet hands• Easy to use spring action, reduces hand strain• Perfect size, fits my hand great no bulk to get into the way• Micro tip for precision pruning, I am able to trim dense foliage with ease and precision.• Stainless Steel for easy cleaning and maintenance for a long life• Locking handles for safe storageThese snips arrive super sharp and ready to use. The spring loaded action is smooth with what I would consider perfect tension, not too much to require a lot of effort to use, but strong enough to quickly return the handle to the open position when ready to cut again. The design of the handle fits well with a normal grip, which makes using them comfortable and natural.To me there is only one con to these snips; they do not come with a cover for the tip when you need to store the snips. If you where to toss these into a gardening bag, there is a chance that you could poke a hole in your bag, these snips are quite pointy. (But that’s a good thing; these are micro tip after all)The Backyard Garden Pro 11815 is quickly becoming my favorite pair of snips, and I find myself always reaching for them whenever I need to trim something, these snips have turned an often-dull task to an enjoyable experience.

As a florist I can't use this on regular rose stems or even a stock stem! Very hard to cut ugh I saw all these awesome reviews and now just bummed! Today processing a bunch was a nightmare but when working with corsage work they do ok but not like fiskar brand. I bought for the color and reviews very sad!

These garden scissors are exactly what I wanted, and they work great. They are very sharp and make a clean cut every time. They are very light and fit my hand very well. I mostly use them for deadheading flowers and pruning my tomatoes. I have used them for cutting snap dragon stems that are done blooming and they work well for that as well. My hands don't get tired using them. I would not use them for pruning woody vegetation, that's what garden pruners are for. Used an old pair of barber scissors for years and then found these - soooo much better.

Great Product at a Great Price, Sharp and highly effective. I am currently using for Bonsai on my Indoor Lime Tree, and they cut even the slightly thicker branches with ease. Small head size allows for getting into tight spots. Very pleased, Will order again when i need another pair.

I really like these nippers. I am always pruning my garden and using large pruners can be difficult when trying to prune or harvest more delicate plants like herbs. I fine these are so very well made. They are light in your hand. Super easy to clean. Blade has stayed sharp even with using on larger vines and small branches. Great value.

I bought these for a specific, unusual purpose and I couldn't be more pleased. I needed them to prune in between very sharp cactus plants and as you can well imagine, this was a delicate task. The Backyard Garden Pros worked, perfectly. They were small enough to hold, comfortably, in my hand and yet the blades were just the perfect size to get in between all the pointed edges of the plants and do their job. They were sharp; they worked with just one snip of the plant and I didn't have a single cut on my hand from the sharp cactus. Couldn't have asked for anything more.

I am very pleased with these garden snips. They are small enough and designed to be quite comfortable to use for small jobs in the garden: cutting herbs, snipping off dead blooms, harvesting leaf lettuce, etc. My hands appreciate the light weight and ease of use instead of using a heavy pruner. Also I know these snips are kept food safe.

Well made for the price. Quite sharp and the closing lock holds the blades well locked. The locked unit still has, as expected, a sharp point on it requiring care when in a pocket, or stored some other way, must be handled with care.
