Niwaki Mainichi Small Pruning Secateurs

Standard issue in Japan, where these are considered the every day, go-to choice for pruning. The big chunky catch at the bottom has a crisp action that’s easy to use, even with cold wet hands or muddy gloves, and the spring is well secured and never accidentally pops out. As with all Japanese secateurs, these have a simple direct action, resulting in a very clean, efficient cut. Remember: if it feels too tough, it probably is too tough, so use your intuition.

Yellow grips stand out in the garden, and are great for when they end up in the compost heap.

The Mainichi Small are 180mm long, with a 45mm blade, which is 10% smaller than the standard size. If you wear a size small Niwaki Gardening Glove you may find these more comfortable.

Suitable for cuts of up to 8mm, depending on plant type and what you had for breakfast.
