How to use
Release the lock and the spring opens the blades for you. Close the lock again before you put them down or away.
The fluorine coating stops sap building up. The shears are rust-resistant and stand up to humid grow rooms and repeated sterilising, so clean them between plants if you are worried about spreading disease. See the rest of our scissors and pruners.
