Corona Lightweight Precision Cut Shears

Pruning shears for the long afternoon.

Some shears are meant for the heavy lift. These are meant for the long afternoon — light topiary work, hedge and shrub trimming, the small repeated cuts that wear you out with a heavier tool. They weigh less than two pounds. The grip is non-slip. The blades are pointed for precision, and there’s a rubber bumper that prevents the jarring you get with stiffer shears.

Worth keeping next to the bypass pruners on the bench, not instead of them. Different jobs, different tools.

•   7¼-inch steel blades, 12 ¾-inch aluminum handles
