Small Hand Shears with 7in 1.875" Blade

• Needle-Nose Snips
• Harvest Tomatoes, Grapes, & Herbs
• Stainless Steel Blade 
• Ergonomic & Lightweight

Small Hand Shears with 7in 1.875" Blade (ARS) are snips made for control, not crushing. The needle-nose blade slips in between stems and fruit clusters, making it easy to harvest tomatoes and grapes cleanly from the vine and to take quick herb cuttings without tearing tender growth. The stainless cutting blade is hardened to a Rockwell 60, which helps it stay sharp through lots of small cuts. Gardeners who harvest and deadhead frequently and want a light tool will want a pair of these.

At 7 inches long and only 4 ounces, they’re easy to keep in a pocket or apron and comfortable for longer working sessions in raised beds or containers. The narrow tip is also handy for thinning and small-detail work where larger pruners feel bulky. When you’re cutting soft stems all day, a clean snip saves plant energy and keeps your harvest looking better.

Product Tips

• Harvest tomatoes and grapes by cutting the stem just above the fruit cluster to avoid tugging and bruising.
• For herbs, snip above a leaf node to encourage bushier regrowth.
• Keep cuts clean and avoid twisting; that’s how soft stems get crushed.
• Wipe the blades after sticky harvests to keep the action smooth and the edge clean.
• Store dry and closed so the tip stays protected in a pocket or tool bag.

FAQs

What are these snips best used for?

They’re ideal for delicate jobs like harvesting tomatoes and grapes, snipping herbs, thinning, deadheading, and detailed work in containers or indoor gardens.

How to use the ARS Small Hand Shears?

Open the blades fully, guide the needle tip to the exact stem you want, and make one smooth squeeze to finish the cut. For harvesting, support the fruit with your free hand so the cut is clean and the cluster doesn’t drop. After use, wipe the blades and store them dry.

What does Rockwell 60 mean for the blade?

It indicates a hard cutting edge that holds sharpness well for repeated fine cuts. Like any hard blade, it still benefits from basic cleaning and occasional touch-up sharpening.

Are they heavy-duty pruning shears?

No. They’re made for light, precise cutting on softer stems and small material, not thick woody branches.

What warranty is included?

The manufacturer provides a warranty for material defects, and they’re also covered by A.M. Leonard’s 30-Day Down to Earth Guarantee.
