Pruning shears, also known as secateurs or branch clippers, are handheld tools designed for trimming and shaping plants, shrubs, and small branches. They typically feature sharp, curved blades that cut through plant material with precision. The handles are often ergonomically designed for comfort and power, allowing users to apply force efficiently. Pruning shears help maintain plant health, encourage growth, and improve appearance by removing dead or overgrown branches. They are essential gardening tools used by both professionals and enthusiasts to manage greenery effectively.
