I prefer the Felco Pruning Shears (F 310) – High Performance One-Hand Garden Pruners – F-310. Same idea -like scissors – but MUCH easier to close.

Hi, Daryl. Yes, and I have experimented with other brands like the ARS one at this link (a similar item to the other one, but I pinch my hand less because it doesn’t have the same latch on it). So I find I am often just using needles nose clippers and not my bigger pruners at all. Glad you like them, too.

I have long wanted to thank you for something I use every day because of your recommendation: The Italian clippers. They are just THE BEST EVER!!!!!
I am an avid gardener and flower arranger, and this item (of which I now own many) has provided me with constant pleasure and ease of use. Thank you for this, and sooooo many other tips!!

All best,
Daryl Doucette
