Professional Japanese Pruning Shears: Health for Plants and Comfort for Hands

Tobisho professional Japanese pruning shears represent an undisputed excellence in the world of gardening tools. These tools, the result of centuries of artisanal tradition, are designed to ensure a clean and precise cut, essential for the health of your plants. Thanks to their high-quality construction, Tobisho shears minimize the risk of crushing and wounds to the bark, a crucial aspect to prevent bacterial and fungal attacks.

The concave shape of the blades of Tobisho shears allows for clean cuts, preserving the sap of the plants. In fact, the sap acts as a natural barrier against infections, keeping the plants healthy and vigorous. On the contrary, the use of lower-quality commercial shears can lead to irregular cuts that fray the bark, favoring the escape of the sap and increasing the risk of disease.

Another distinctive feature of Tobisho shears is the final treatment of the blades, sharpened like a katana. This precision not only ensures optimal penetration into the branch, but also facilitates exit, making the pruning process smoother and less tiring. Using Tobisho pruners, you can work for hours without suffering from muscle pain, a common problem among those who use lower quality tools.

Choosing Tobisho professional Japanese pruning shears means investing in the health of your plants and the comfort of your hands. With Tobisho, every cut becomes an act of care and attention, transforming pruning into a rewarding and productive experience. Don't settle for less: choose the quality and tradition of Tobisho pruners.

How to take care of the scissors:

After use, remove the resin with a hard cloth before drying as much as possible and apply a thin layer of mineral oil (such as motor oil). If it has hardened, scrape away with a hard plastic object (e.g. a ruler).

To keep the scissors in the best conditions, inject a drop of oil around the screw (on the inside, where the blade and counterblade are in contact).
