Pruners & Snips

Pruners (also known as secateurs) and floral snips are single-handed cutting tools designed for precision pruning, harvesting, and deadheading. Engineered for accuracy and control, they are essential tools for home gardeners, greenhouse workers, vineyard maintenance, orchard pruning, and professional horticulture.

Pruners are commonly available in Bypass types for clean cuts on green wood and Anvil types for dry or hard stems. Snips feature slender, pointed blades for fine, detailed cutting or harvesting. Key considerations include blade type, material, cutting mechanisms, and handle ergonomics.

OEM/ODM customization and private brand development are available for global retailers, distributors, and garden tool brands.

Blade Specifications

1. Blade Type & Design

Bypass blades: Provide clean, precise cuts for live branches, stems, and flowers.
Anvil blades: Suitable for dry, woody, or hard stems requiring more cutting force.
Straight / Needle Nose Snips: Pointed, slender blades designed for reaching into dense foliage for fruit harvesting, thinning, or floristry.

2. Blade Material & Construction

SK5 high-carbon steel for excellent sharpness and durability.
Stainless steel options often used for snips and floral shears for superior rust resistance in greenhouse and high-moisture environments.
Drop-forged blade construction for strength and long-term edge retention.

3. Blade Surface Treatment

PTFE / Non-stick Coating: Reduces sap build-up and cutting friction.
Hard Chrome Plating: Provides corrosion resistance and a long-lasting surface finish.
Polished or Black Oxide Finishes: provides added protection in outdoor conditions.

Cutting & Mechanisms Options

Spring Systems:
- Volute (Scroll) Spring: A flat spring design that delivers smooth cutting action and is less prone to dirt clogging.
- Coiled (Wire) Spring: A classic, durable design that is easy to maintain and replace.
Ratchet Mechanism: A multi-step cutting system that enables cutting of thick or hard branches with reduced hand effort.
Rolling / Rotating Handle: Rotates with hand movement to reduce friction and help prevent blisters during prolonged use.
Shock-absorbing buffers: Reduce impact during repetitive cutting and improve user comfort.
Safety Lock Mechanism: One-handed locking systems for secure storage and safe transport.

Handle Designs

Ergonomic Profiles: Contoured shapes designed to fit various hand sizes (S, M, L) to minimize hand fatigue.
Material Options:
- Forged Aluminum: Lightweight yet incredibly strong for professional durability.
- Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon (PA+GF): Durable, lightweight, and impact-resistant.
