NIWAKI GR PRO SECATEURS AND NIWAKI SAKAGEN FLOWER SNIPPERS

Now why on Earth would anyone in their right mind spend a lot of money on a pair of secateurs and snippers? I know why I did. Not in any particular order, I like that mine have yellow handles and are easy to spot when I absent-mindedly put them down somewhere and then try to remember where I put them.  I like the simplicity of them, not much to go wrong.

Niwaki GR Pro Secateurs and Niwaki Sakagen Flower Snippers

What I do not like about the snippers is that, if I am not careful, I can get my finger nipped when shutting them; they need a little whatever-they-call-it between the handles to stop them closing quite so completely.  What some might not like, but it doesn't bother me, about the secateurs is that when you undo the magnetic clip at the bottom, they open really wide. For me, even though I haven't big hands I have long fingers and a wide finger span (great for playing the piano!) so I've never regretted the investment. My Niwaki tools have been snipping and cutting away for a few trouble-free years now.
