ASIN: B0FWRWB68NModel: 456Category: Pruning Shears & Snips

Overview

Snipping herbs in the garden, trimming leather at the bench or cutting thin cable at home all fall to these FELCO scissors. Curved stainless blades with a serrated edge grip the material so it does not slide while cutting.

One pair for many jobs is why to buy it, with rustproof blades and a grip light enough for long sessions. Limits are not stated, so there is no guidance on the thickest wire or cable it can cut.

Who it's for

Home gardeners, crafters and workshop users who handle a mix of soft and tough materials will reach for them often. Pruning thick stems or heavy wire calls for dedicated shears or cutters.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Cuts many materials
  • Serrated edge holds material
  • Rustproof stainless blades
  • Light for long use
Cons
  • Blade length not listed
  • Maximum wire size not stated

Performance notes

Serrations on the blade hold material in place so slippery stems and wire do not squeeze out. The curved shape helps the blades bite into the material for even cuts. Cutting capacity depends on blade leverage, and the listing gives no limit.
