How to use

Hold the snips with a firm but relaxed grip so the handles rest comfortably in your hand and align the straight blades with the material to be cut. Apply even pressure and close the blades in a smooth motion for a clean cut; avoid twisting the tool while cutting to preserve blade alignment. Use the snips for light materials such as string, small stems and thin wire; do not force the blades through material that exceeds the tool's intended capacity. After use, wipe blades clean and store in a dry place to prevent corrosion.

Usage recommendations

For best results when trimming plants or cutting cordage, cut at a slight angle to reduce fraying and perform routine blade cleaning and occasional lubrication to maintain smooth action. Use the snips for light-duty tasks and choose a dedicated pruning tool for thicker branches or heavy cutting to avoid damaging the blades.
