Niwaki's forged garden snips are designed for getting into tight spots and making neat, precise cuts.  Never as tough as secateurs, but far, far pointier.

We find them really useful in the garden as they feel great in the hand - they have a really nice spring mechanism making them easy to use over long periods. 

These garden snips are drop forged from SK carbon steel. 

Whilst Niwaki have a wide range of different garden snips, we choose to only stock this forged pair as we feel they are the best ones.  We advocate buying once and buying well - so we reckon these garden snips offer better value over time compared with a cheaper pair.  With a little careful maintenance to keep the blades sharp and working well, they'll be a trusted tool for years.
