The Fiskars Multipurpose Garden Snips (Model 399220-1001) — winner of the Red Dot Best of the Best 2019 award — is the compact, do-everything cutting tool every gardener needs on their belt. Reaching just 8 inches long and weighing a mere 0.25 oz, these snips are perfectly sized for quick, precise cuts during any garden task. The dual-purpose blades do it all: use the outer serrated edge to saw twine or light rope, and the straight edge to slice open soil bags, landscape fabric, or netting with clean precision. An integrated wire cutter handles wire without damaging the blades.
The Easy Action™ spring automatically opens the blades after each cut to reduce hand fatigue, while Softgrip® touchpoints keep the tool comfortable and in control during long work sessions. A rugged nylon sheath with belt loop is included for safe carry and easy access at the worksite. These snips are backed by Fiskars' full lifetime warranty.
