Are these shears suitable for pruning thick branches?
These shears are best for light to medium pruning tasks like deadheading flowers, snipping stems, and trimming small branches up to about 1/4 inch thick. For thicker branches, consider using loppers or heavy-duty pruners.
Are the blades stainless steel? Will they rust?
Yes, the blades are made from stainless steel, which is resistant to rust and corrosion. However, wiping them dry after use and occasional oiling will extend their lifespan.
Can I use left and right handed?
These shears have a standard grip and are designed for right-handed users. Left-handed gardeners may find them less comfortable for extended use.
