Burgon & Ball Mini Snips, 11 cm Length

Well made, sharp, blades meet as they should. Brilliant for deadheading herbaceous plants. Won't cope with woody stems. Small amount of hand movement needed as compared with secateurs, hence a real saver for your hand if you have masses of deadheading to do.

Brilliant, spotted these when I was shopping for something else. - had them a few weeks now and they are brill, very sharp (managed to give myself a bit of a pinch - dont think I was holding them correctly) now wondering why I didnt have these ages ago. Make light work of deadheading.

A lovely, sharp pair of snips. Bought for the purpose of cutting sweet pea flowers, also going to be fabulous for herbs. Really sharp, nice action and proper spring at hinge, but cheap and nasty plastic cover.

Love these. Small enough to keep in a back pocket, sharp, effective and easy to use. Great for using in small spaces.

I liked these for deadheading smaller flower heads and are great for sweet peas but they dont open wide enough to dead head roses

Purchased because all the other styles of little snippers I have bought have rusted. Some rusted just after one use! These haven't yet and they're doing a great job. Used for harvesting spinach and other veg so they need to be rustproof. Very happy with my purchase. They come with a little plastic sleeve, which I don't think is worth the plastic as it's very flimsy and I don't imagine it would last long if used. I would recommend these little snips.

I was fed up with cheap ones going blunt or not sharp enough Although these were expensive for snips the are worth it

Bought to snip off sweet pea blooms, I'd never used one of these little snips before but soon realised their worth. So easy to use on delicate stems and much more practical than normal scissors as they are so effortless when it comes to snipping. The little plastic sheath is handy to keep them in, although not sure how long that will last. I've now put them somewhere safe for next year - just hope I can remember where!

Diese kleine hübsche Schere habe ich im Urlaub gesehen - und leider versäumt, zu kaufen. Zum Glück konnte ich sie dann im Internet finden - ein süßes kleines Ding mit Hülle für die Klinge. Allerdings sollte man wirklich nur dünne Stängelchen etc. schneiden.

As a novice gardener, I am so happy to have these snips. I have a bonsai that needs delicate pruning and some gardenias that need very targeted work, and this works perfect.
