1.LONG REACH. The K-17 pruning snips are very light and razor-sharp floral shears with a long blade, specially designed for picking flowers, and herbs, and deadheading. The pointed, thin blades ensure that you can reach even the tightest spaces, like stems inside bundles. The K-17 is not suitable for cutting hard (woody) stems. 2.SHARP STAINLESS STEEL BLADES. Picking and trimming flowers, herbs or buds is now a fun and easy task! Ideal for deadheading, trimming, shaping, and other quick snips on small plants. Suitable for hydroponics and indoor herb growing. A must-have for florists; great for making flower arrangements. 3.OPEN-CLOSE STRAP This pruner has sturdy handles for increased comfort and optimum performance. At the end of the upper handle, there is an unobtrusive open/close strap which allows for easy and storage. 4.SHOCK ABSORBING SPRING. The embedded spring brings a comfortable bounce to your cutting action, so you can work without fatigue. The spring gently opens blades after each cut to reduce hand strain.
