Alfred Titanium Pruners. Curved Blade or Straight blade. Titanium-coated, stainless steel, precision-sharpened blades. The micro tip snips have a built-in spring in the middle, so they automatically push open without you having to manually do so. The comfortable handles make it easy to work for longer periods of time without discomfort. Once you finish the trimming job, the locking mechanism secures the closed blades in place.
