The GR Pro Lightweight Secateurs are perfect for lighter pruning or work that requires extra precision. They are also a great choice for those with smaller or weaker hands.
These lightweight secateurs compromise slightly on strength, in return for extra precision. They features a slender bypass blade to handle the daintiest of snips, an ergonomic handle, smooth spring action and chunky lock clasp at the bottom.
The lightweight secateurs are slightly smaller than the regular Niwaki secateurs.
TIP: All cutting tools are strongest at the pivot end - avoid cutting thicker stems with the tips.

CARING FOR YOUR TOOLS
Most of Niwaki's sharp tools are crafted from carbon steel. To keep your tools in good condition and ensure they last for many years of use, they require some simple but regular maintenance. Here are some usage & care tips, to help you get the most out of your tools...
Usage:
- Japanese steel is hard and sharp. To avoid chips and preserve the steel edge, do not cut wire, metal, stone, or plastic.
- Do not twist or apply uneven pressure
- It’s better to cut diagonally across branches (not straight across), so you cut along the fibres
- For heavier cuts, make sure you’re using the base of the blades (not the tips)
Care:
- Remove leaf resin, rust and gunk with a Crean Mate and water
- Dry, wipe over with Camellia Oil and store in a dry place
- Sharpen when needed (secateurs can be sharpened every couple of weeks, shears & topiary clippers after every use to see an incredible difference).
