Picking and trimming flowers, herbs, and buds has become a pleasurable and simple activity! Deadheading, trimming, shaping, and other quick snips on small plants are all possible with this tool. Hydroponics and indoor herb growing are both possible with this product. For florists, this is a must-have; it's ideal for creating flower arrangements.

Questions & Answers

What is the length of the blades?

Tabor K17A Blades - Tabor K17A Blades - Tabor K17A Blades From the hinge to the blade's tip, the distance is 2 inches.

What is the difference between stainless steel and carbon steel?

The corrosion resistance of stainless steel is higher. Although both stainless and carbon steels contain iron, which can rust, I prefer stainless because it is more rust resistant.

Is it necessary to oil all metal surfaces in order to prevent rust, or is stainless steel impervious to rust?

That is an excellent query. It is possible that this is a good idea. I'm starting my second season and have no problem leaving them in my shed while on the water. Fluid Film is a good rust preventer.

Do they maintain their sharpness over time?

They are appealing to me - They can be used to prune flowers and other plants.

Selected User Reviews For TABOR TOOLS Pruning Shears, Florist Scissors, Multi-Tasking Garden Snips for Arranging Flowers, Trimming Plants and Harvesting Herbs, Fruits or Vegetables. K17A. (Straight, Stainless Steel Blades) 

Mediocre
3/5

I purchased these after reading the positive feedback on this site. However, I am disappointed when I receive them. They simply have a shabby appearance. The handles and mechanism are made from stamped and rolled steel rather than forged steel. They're held shut and secured by a large rubber band that looks like it won't last and doesn't feel like high-quality, long-lasting rubber. One could most likely do better for the money.

It is crucial to pay attention to the details
3/5

These snips are fantastic for a variety of uses. I was a little unsure about the strap on the handle to keep them closed, but it works great, and the red handles are a nice touch because I use mine a lot. br>br>Recent changes: br>br> The screw that holds them together is not stamped as stainless steel, despite the fact that both sides of the blade are. This is a nightmare for those of us who bleach our snips on a regular basis.

Tabor Pruners are one of my favorite tools
4/5

This is the second time I've purchased a pair of Tabor pruners. I'm a flower farmer who harvests for several hours at a time, a few times a week. These are extremely comfortable to hold and clean, as well as being sharp. The only reason I gave it a four star rating was because they began using a fabric-like piece to keep the handles closed. My first pair had a metal wire that was much easier to work with and could be closed with one hand, whereas this pair requires two hands to get the fabric piece over the opposite grip handle. They're an excellent pair of pruners, especially given their low price.

Small in stature, but extremely powerful! These shears are razor-sharp, lightweight, comfortable to hold, and extremely durable
5/5

I would recommend these to any home gardener who wants to trim and cut back non-woody plants, grasses, and bushes. I haven't checked to see if Tabor Tools sells pruning shears for light branches and woody plants. However, if they do, I'd place an order for them as well!.

This is an excellent resource
5/5

It's effective This tool appears to be of very high quality; incredibly sharp br>The handles could be a little softer. br>The blister packaging was in two pieces, not sealed but possibly opened before? br>The tool was strewn about in the box, but it was undamaged. because of the bubble wrap br>The cost of the tool was a bit excessive.

This is fantastic
5/5

Sharp to a fault. The nose narrows to a fine point, allowing me to close the cutters and reach a leaf in the middle of a basil plant, snipping it without damaging other leaves. This is my first investment in a high-quality gardening tool, and I am very pleased with it. The blade is razor-sharp and extremely durable.

It's ideal for arranging flowers
5/5

I only got it a week ago and have already started using it for "indoor" floral arrangements. br>So far, I'm enjoying it! I don't do it all day, so I can't speak to how it feels for someone who does it every day for eight hours; however, it's ideal for me. Very incisive! I like how it's held in place by a strap.

Great product at a great price, I highly recommend it! Early this summer, I made my first purchase of these
5/5

I trim shrubs, perennials, and dead plants. About 20 hours per week are spent professionally on heads. This summer has seen a lot of Boxwood pruning. I adore these, and I'm so pleased with how well they've held up to the thousands of cuts I've made. I quickly ordered a replacement pair after my first pair fell out of my holster and I couldn't find them.
