Unlike carbon steel which requires regular oiling to prevent rust, these bonsai tools feature high quality stainless steel for rust proof durability. The stainless steel construction makes it easy to use daily with little wear or maintenance. These bonsai bud shears / wire cutters are useful for cutting buds and wires that are close to branches. Compact and narrow design makes it easy to reach past outer foliage to cut wire with precision cuts near inner branches. Looped finger handles make it easy to control wire cuts close to the branch. Recommended for cutting wire 2mm and under. Shears measure approximately 6 in. (155mm) in length. Made in China.

The entire line of tools includes the ones used most often when styling and maintaining trees in the nursery. Each tool is branded with "Eastern Leaf" in Chinese characters on the handle of each tool so you know that the tool has met the standards that will help you continue forward on your bonsai journey.
