Product Specification
SB308 60g Lightweight Curved Blade Pruning Scissors, HRC 57–58 Hardened SK5 Anti-Scratch Fruit Thinning Snips for Orchard Crop Thinning, Greenhouse Pruning, Floral Trimming & Light Multi-Material Cutting Tasks
The SB308 is an ultra-light, purpose-built curved-tip pruning shear designed specifically for delicate fruit thinning work in commercial and small-scale orchards. Weighing only 60 grams with an overall 155mm length, this compact snip minimizes hand fatigue during hours of repetitive selective picking and stem trimming, with a uniquely shaped curved blade engineered to avoid scratching or bruising developing fruit while making clean, precise cuts on thin stalks and small offshoots.
Salt Bath Heat-Treated SK5 Curved Protection Blade
Crafted from premium SK5 steel treated with specialized salt bath thermal hardening to achieve HRC 57–58 hardness, the blade maintains consistent sharpness and long-term abrasion resistance through heavy seasonal orchard use. Its upward-bending curved profile creates natural clearance between the cutting edge and nearby fruit when reaching into tight clusters, eliminating accidental skin punctures that downgrade crop value. The precision fitted central pivot prevents blade wobble or gap widening over thousands of cuts, ensuring neat, tear-free trimming without crushing delicate plant vascular tissue.
Spring-Assisted Operation & Anti-Slip Coated Ergonomic Handles
A durable internal coil spring automatically opens the handles after each squeeze, cutting down repetitive gripping effort and easing wrist strain during all-day continuous thinning work. The red metal handles are finished with textured anti-slip paint that delivers stable control even when coated with plant sap, moisture, or field dirt. A built-in small hanging hook on the handle end allows convenient storage hanging or closed-blade securing, preventing unintended opening during transport in tool pockets or pouches.
Versatile Practical Application Range
Primarily engineered for plum, apricot, apple and stone fruit orchard thinning, it excels at removing excess fruitlets, trimming small side shoots and tidying fruit stalks to optimize nutrient distribution. Beyond orchard use, it works well for greenhouse vegetable pruning, cut flower harvesting and arrangement trimming. It also handles light-duty cutting for thin soft wires, flexible synthetic netting and lightweight craft materials, suiting hobby gardeners, commercial fruit growers and casual DIY cutting needs alike.
