What the Coating Does on the Hydrofarm Titanium Precision Pruner Underneath is the same surgical stainless steel and spring as the standard pruner. The coating is the change. Titanium resists corrosion and tarnishing, which is the thing that ends most scissors kept near misters and humidity domes. Titanium also brings a high strength-to-weight ratio, so cutting capacity goes up without the tool getting heavier in the hand. Hours of Trimming Behind a Pair of Precision Pruner Scissors The spring opening action does the work your hand would otherwise do between cuts. That is what decides whether hour three feels like hour one. Double density anti-slip gel handles carry the same idea, and a blade cap comes in the box so the tips survive a drawer. These are precision scissors rather than loppers, so stems past a certain thickness want secateurs instead of forcing the blades. Key Features Titanium coated stainless: Surgical stainless steel under a titanium coating that holds off corrosion and tarnishing. Spring opening action: The blades reopen themselves, which is what keeps hand strain down over a long session. Anti-slip gel handles: Double density soft gel, so a wet or resinous grip does not turn into a slipping tool. Blade cap included: Keeps the tips protected in a drawer or a tool tray between sessions. Light in the hand: Titanium's strength to weight ratio adds cutting capacity without adding heft.
