Niwaki Mainichi Snips

Niwaki Mainichi SnipsWe've a bit of a confession to make with these snips. We got a pair in to test last summer and for some reason we didn't get on with them. They didn't get used much and they've mainly been used to demo how to use Crean Mate! But this summer has been different and they've become a firm favourite, especially for Louise. She's started to use them for harvesting beans off the veg patch and for cut flowers. Snips sit between a secateur and a garden
