The smaller sister product to our FloraBrite® Bypass Secateurs — a properly dedicated harvesting and precision snip for the soft, delicate work of the cottage garden. Razor-sharp stainless steel blades for clean cuts on tender stems, lightweight body, compact design for the tool belt or gardening apron, and the same bright fluorescent handles (pink or yellow) that make the FloraBrite range impossible to lose. At £13.49, properly the right tool for the everyday work of picking, harvesting, and tidying.

From Sheffield toolmakers Burgon & Ball, who've been making proper garden tools since 1730 — nearly three centuries of British toolmaking heritage. RHS-endorsed, with a 10-year guarantee against manufacturing defects.

What this is for — precision over power

These are snips, not secateurs. The difference matters — this is the dedicated tool for delicate work where the secateurs would be too heavy:

  • Picking cut flowers — the precision the bypass scissor-action gives lets you cut individual stems cleanly without crushing the rest. Important for vase life
  • Harvesting herbs — chives, basil, parsley, mint, dill. The clean cut means the plant regrows cleanly rather than rotting at a crushed stem
  • Soft fruit harvesting — strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, gooseberries. The compact size and precision tip let you snip individual berries free without bruising the rest
  • Deadheading delicate flowers — cosmos, sweet peas, calendula, antirrhinum. The smaller tool is properly easier than full-size secateurs for repetitive precision work
  • Light pruning — thin growth, sucker shoots, new herbaceous stems
  • Edible flower picking — nasturtiums, calendula petals, borage flowers, violas
  • Vegetable harvesting — salad leaves (cut-and-come-again style), French beans, mangetout, ripe tomatoes from the vine
  • Microgreen and seedling work — harvesting cress, sprouts, microgreens at the precise stem level

For thicker stems (anything over the diameter of a pencil), reach for the FloraBrite Bypass Secateurs instead. The snips and secateurs are designed to be a complementary pair — the snips for delicate everyday work, the secateurs for proper pruning.

Why fluorescent — the anti-loss design

  • Bright pink or yellow handles — properly visible against foliage, soil and grass. Snips drop into beds and disappear; FloraBrite snips don't
  • Reflective strip on the handles — catches light in low-light, overcast days, or at dusk. Particularly useful for early-morning picking sessions before the light is up
  • Easy to spot in a tool basket — obvious even when buried under other tools or garden detritus

The whole FloraBrite range exists to solve the gardener's perennial problem of misplaced tools. Once you've used them for a season, going back to traditional-coloured snips feels like an unnecessary handicap.

The tool itself — properly considered

  • Razor-sharp stainless steel blades — stainless suits the fruit-and-flower work; doesn't stain or transfer iron taste to harvested produce. Sharp out of the box and stays sharp
  • Bypass mechanism — the two blades pass each other (like scissors) for clean cuts rather than crushing the stem. Important for tender herbs and soft fruit; an anvil snip would mash the delicate material
  • Lightweight body — comfortable for extended harvesting sessions; no hand fatigue
  • Compact size — fits in a gardening apron pocket or on a tool belt. Properly the size for taking with you on a flower-picking round
  • Ergonomic handle shape — soft grip that doesn't tire the hand through long sessions of repetitive cutting
  • Safety catch — secure locking mechanism keeps the blades closed when not in use; essential for tool-belt and apron storage
  • RHS-endorsed — chosen by the Royal Horticultural Society for their official recommended tool range
  • 10-year guarantee — against manufacturing defects; reflects Burgon & Ball's confidence in the build quality

Choose your colour

  • Sunny yellow — the highest visibility against green foliage; the "I'll never lose these" choice
  • Vivid pink — softer aesthetic, still highly visible; works well for pink-loving gardeners

Both colours have identical engineering and performance. Purely a colour preference.

Particularly good for

  • Cut-flower growers — precision picking, repetitive cutting, the snip you reach for every morning of the season. The bright handle means you can leave it on the bench between rounds without losing it
  • Kitchen gardeners — herb-picking, soft-fruit harvesting, salad-leaf cutting. The genuinely right tool for the daily kitchen-garden harvest
  • Herb gardeners — basil, mint, parsley, dill, chives. Clean stem cuts let plants regrow properly
  • Allotmenteers — the busy-plot tool you don't want to lose. Compact for the apron, visible when set down between beds
  • Anyone harvesting soft fruit — the precision tip lets you snip individual fruit without bruising neighbours
  • Older gardeners or those with arthritis — the lightweight body and ergonomic grip reduce hand fatigue compared to heavier secateurs
  • As a gift for someone who already has secateurs — the natural complementary tool. Or for someone who's mentioned losing their snips

The FloraBrite pair

This snip is the natural complement to our FloraBrite Bypass Secateurs — matching range, matching colour choice, matching anti-loss design. Together they give you the everyday cutting tool plus the precision harvesting tool, both in the same instantly-findable bright palette. The proper "FloraBrite pair" for the working garden:

  • FloraBrite Snips (this) — £13.49. For picking, harvesting, deadheading delicate flowers and soft fruit
  • FloraBrite Bypass Secateurs — £23.49. For pruning, woody stems, anything thicker than herbaceous

Many cut-flower growers and serious kitchen gardeners end up with both tools side-by-side on the potting bench. At £36.98 for the pair, they're a proper investment in the daily working tools of the garden.

How it fits in our cutting and pruning range

We stock several cutting tools because different jobs need different tools:

  • FloraBrite Snips (this) — precision scissor-action for soft work; high-visibility anti-loss design
  • FloraBrite Bypass Secateurs — the cutting partner for woody stems up to 2.5cm
  • Collectors Fruit & Flower Snips (Pink) — the heritage scissor-action alternative for those who prefer the traditional aesthetic over fluorescent
  • Ergo Deadheader — ergonomic palm-squeeze design for arthritis-friendly precision work
  • Collectors Bypass Secateurs (Navy) — heritage aesthetic full-size secateurs
  • RHS Pocket Pruner — compact pocket-sized secateurs
  • Flora & Fauna Gift Set — coordinated trowel and secateurs in gift presentation

For precision soft work, the FloraBrite Snips and the Collectors Fruit & Flower Snips do the same job — the choice is purely aesthetic: bright anti-loss vs heritage Pink design.

About Burgon & Ball

Burgon & Ball are one of Britain's oldest toolmakers, founded in Sheffield in 1730 — nearly three centuries of British toolmaking heritage. They're RHS-endorsed, supplier to the Royal Horticultural Society, and the chosen manufacturer for the Sophie Conran licensed garden tool collection. We stock their range because they make proper garden tools the proper way — tested in real working gardens, built to last decades rather than seasons.

As a gift

At £13.49 the FloraBrite Snips sit at the genuine stocking-filler / small-but-considered gift price point. Particularly suited to:

  • A cut-flower grower — this is properly their everyday tool; bright colour means they'll always find it
  • A kitchen gardener or allotmenteer — the daily harvesting partner
  • Someone who already has secateurs — the natural complementary tool
  • Mother's Day, Father's Day, birthdays — properly affordable but genuinely useful
  • Christmas stocking — the kind of practical gift that gets reached for every week of the gardening year
  • Paired with seed packets or a small pot of herbs — turns into a complete herb-and-snip gift bundle
  • As an under-£15 add-on to a larger gift order
  • Older gardeners with hand strain — the lightweight design is properly easier than full secateurs

A small thought: there's a particular pleasure in the morning round of the cut-flower garden — basket on the arm, snips in the apron pocket, picking dahlias and sweet peas before the bees are up. The right tool for that morning round matters more than people realise. Snips that fit the hand properly, cut cleanly, find their way back into the pocket, and don't disappear into the bed when you set them down for thirty seconds. The FloraBrite snip is exactly that tool. Bright enough to find, light enough to wear all morning, sharp enough to do the job, and built well enough that it'll still be your morning-round companion in twenty years.

GREAT REMOTE HOLDER BUT BEWARE OF POSSIBLE STRONG PERFUMY SCENT!
Color: Black, Size: Small
This is a very nicely made and attractive remote holder, perfect for my storage and organizational needs. It is a good value for the money. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is that the small pack that was in the holder to prevent moisture had a very strong perfumy smell that gave me a headache even after I removed it and left it in a place away from me to air out for over a week. I can still smell it, although it seems to be gradually fading. I would have returned it and ordered another but figured I would get the same situation so it would not be worth the trouble.

Good product
Color: Black, Size: Small
So far so good. It has enough spots for remotes, seems to be good quality and works well. Its staggered height of the pockets works great and looks fine on the end table.
