Hand Tool of the Year Greenman Garden Tools - Snip Clips
For such a simple little tool, Snip Clips are a bit of a revelation as they may be small, but they are mighty! They combine functionality with safety and are a repurposed tool that we have now introduced into the gardening sector. Typically used by fishermen to cut lines, their adaptability was obvious to us as perfect for pruning purposes such as dead heading or taking intricate cuttings. Snip Clips are so handy, they can be in your pocket at all times, safely folded away, ready to be used in your garden or home whenever you need. Snip Clips have loads of little features that make it a great little garden
companion. The bright colour makes it easy to spot should you leave it on the lawn. There’s a carabiner clip so you can attach it to your belt loop and unlike many of its competition, the blades, which are plastic guarded
for safety, also fold away neatly back into the main body.
Despite its size, the blades can cut through
tough foliage so even though they are ideal for intricate cuts like deadheading flowers, they can be used for more woodier stems also. Snip Clips are packaged in such a way that the product is on show at all times. Their footprint is small so the product lends itself well to being mass stocked within a small area.
The Judges said: “This versatile tool combines functionality with safety and at a great price, making it a very appealing purchase.”
