Saboten Hands Free Pruning Scissors

Saboten Hands Free Pruning Scissors

Saboten’s Hands Free Pruning Scissors are a game-changer for greenhouse growers, allotment gardeners, and anyone who spends long hours working among delicate plants. Designed and crafted in Japan, these precision scissors allow for continuous, comfortable snipping using just your thumb and index finger—leaving the rest of your hand free to support stems, hold a trug, or guide a branch out of the way.

Ideal for tomatoes, peppers, grapes, herbs, and other soft-stemmed crops, the Saboten Hands Free Pruners offer excellent control in tight spaces. The spring-loaded action reduces hand fatigue during longer pruning sessions, while the curved stainless steel blades deliver clean, accurate cuts without bruising the plant.

A soft rubber finger loop keeps the scissors secure and responsive, meaning you can move freely while harvesting or trimming. Whether you’re tidying up a fruiting cordon or deadheading in the polytunnel, these scissors help you work faster and with greater precision.

Common Questions

Are these suitable for left-handed gardeners? Yes, the loop design is symmetrical and can be used comfortably by both left- and right-handed users.

Can I use these for woody stems?These scissors are best suited for soft or semi-soft growth—like tomato vines, chilli plants, or herbs. For woody stems, we recommend bypass pruners.

How do I clean and care for them? A quick wipe with a damp cloth after use helps prevent sap build-up. For long-term care, lightly oil the blades and spring mechanism to maintain smooth performance..
