What are garden shears used for?
Garden shears are used to trim the branches of plants or trees. They are also useful when cutting weeds from your yard. You can use them to cut grass, flowers, herbs, etc., and they can even be used to remove leaves from your house windowsills.
How do I use garden scissors?
To use garden scissors, simply hold one end of the blade with both hands and twist it clockwise until you hear a click sound. Then pull the other end out and push down firmly on the tree branch or plant. If you want to get rid of some weeds, just push down hard enough so that the weed falls off onto your driveway or sidewalk.
The blades are usually made from steel, but there are also plastic versions available.
Why are garden shears so handy?
They come in different lengths and widths. Some have handles, while others don’t. Some are plain, while others have decorative designs on them. They can be sharpened or not. And if you need to trim a large area quickly, then you might want to consider purchasing a saw mower instead of using these garden shears!
What is the name of garden scissors?
The names for garden scissors can include: pruning shears, hedge clippers, and even just regular old scissors. They are all basically the same thing.
What types of different designs are available for the garden shears?
There are several different designs for these handy tools. For instance, you can get ones that have one handle and two blades. Or, you can get ones that have two handles and one blade (this type is great for people that have a weaker grip). You can also find the ones that have one handle and three blades. These are great for people that have a stronger grip and don’t need the help from another handle to keep their fingers from slipping off of the cutting surface. Other types include: curved handle shears, rat-tail tang, scalloped blades, anvil style cut, etc.
What kind of metal are the garden shears made from?
These tools can be made from several different types of metal, such as: stainless steel, carbon steel, or alloy steel. If your tool is not stainless steel or carbon steel, then you should store it in a dry place so that it does not rust. Also, never put your tool into a garden shed (especially if it has a dirt floor) because it will definitely rust if you leave it in there.
What other tools can I use for my garden besides garden scissors?
There are several different tools that you can use in order to help you around your yard. For instance, you might want to consider using pruning shears instead of these scissors. These tools are bigger and stronger than scissors, but they do not have any sharp edges on the blades. They are made specifically for branches that are up to one inch in diameter. These are great for removing dead branches from your trees or shrubs. There are also pole pruners, which you can use to reach higher branches and vines that you cannot get to with your other shears. These have an extension at the bottom (which is usually made out of steel or fiberglass) that you can wrap your fingers around. Also, there are hedge shears that you can use to trim bushes and hedges.
How do I sharpen my garden shears?
If your tool is made out of stainless steel, then all you have to do is run the blades across a hard surface (such as a brick or concrete) a few times. This will sharpen the blades and get rid of any loose pieces of plants that may be stuck in there. If the tool is made out of carbon steel, then you can either use sandpaper or a sharpening stone in order to sharpen it. And, if your tool is made out of a weaker metal (such as aluminum), then you should have just purchased stainless steel scissors instead. This material will not hold an edge and it is very soft. So, after using the scissors a few times, they will become dull and will no longer cut things as well.
Are the blades on my shears serrated or straight-edged?
This tool has straight edges on the blades. However, there are different types of straight edge blades. They include:
• Notched – also known as rat-tail, these are blades that have notches in them in order to grip onto plants that have soft or squishy material on them. This type of blade will easily get clogged with plant matter and will require more maintenance than a smooth edged blade.
• Removable – this type of blade has a notch in it, but it also has a serration on both sides of the notch. So, when you remove the notch you expose two rows of teeth, which allows you to cut branches that are up to 1 1/4 inches in diameter.
All you have to do is press down with firm even pressure; otherwise the teeth can get clogged with plant matter.
