Ergo Snips have an ingenious control pillar that fits comfortably into the curve of you hand, whilst your index finger fits into the notch on the opposite handle. The additions provide ultimate control over the snips, preventing the hand from slipping forwards towards the blade. A perfect tool for deadheading and light trimming jobs where precision is needed or where crowded growth needs to be thinned out. A great tool for house plants or flower arranging. The flip catch is easy to operate and can fold away inside the handle when in use.
