Review: Sharp, precise and tough. - These are very sharp. Work on grass and leaves and at the same time excellent for making precise cuts on woody branches. Very handy for close cuts on hibiscus and other flowering leafy plants. Nice tool. Review: Good so far... few months later and thinking they're really quite nice - Corona AG 4930 Long Straight Snip, Tempered Steel ~ $14.99 purchased Jul 28, 2022 updated Oct 07, 2022 Never had a pair of these type of pruners before so nothing to compare them to other than normal bypass pruners which I've had tons of. I got these for cleaning up my growing collection of potted plants since they're small and have more little tight spots and these work out much better than bypass pruners for that. They came sharp and the blade action feels quality. (Edit: after a few months of on and off use the blade action is superb. Tight and even, you could cut paper with them and they've stayed that way after trimming up a lot of tiny branches) The textured plasti-dip type handle rubber is very nice. The spring is nice and long and well mounted so seems like it will stay put and not get lost. The "leather" closure strap seems a bit stupid but doesn't really get in my way or cause distraction. One little niggle is the pivot bolt isn't a bolt but a rivet so you can't take them apart for cleaning and sharpening and can't adjust them other than hammering the rivet down tighter and being very careful you don't make them too tight. They are adjusted fine (beautifully even) as they came but I know how pruners and scissors age and need adjustment. And you can sharpen them without taking them apart and you can tighten them up down the road by giving that rivet a few careful taps, so not the end of the world. For $15 I think they're very nice and I'm quite (very) happy with them. ABOUT RUST ON BLADES... High Carbon Steel 101 For anyone who doesn't know, generally speaking any steel that can take and hold a good edge (high carbon) is going to rust to some degree. Stainless steel doesn't rust but you don't want blades made from stainless as it's softer than high carbon steel and will dull much quicker, need sharpening all the time, gets nicked and dented easier, and nowhere near ideal for blades. And I love stainless steel otherwise. And there are high carbon steels that rust less or slower like what Shun or Wusthof make their knives from but that would put the cost of these through the roof. I've done tons of sharpening in my 47 years, much of which was in a professional capacity, everything from carbide to chain saw blades, axes, pruners and loppers, to hair cutting scissors and the finest of cutlery. And these are a very nice blade steel for the price. Just clean your blades, occasionally oil them with some plant friendly oil, and accept the brown patina as a sign of good blade steel. The only thing that stops good larger hand pruners from seeming to rust so much is paint, and these can't hold paint the same way because the scissor type action makes more metal to metal contact wearing the paint off. On some normal sized bypass style hand pruners you'll notice the bed knife, the one that's not sharp, is stainless steel but the side that does the cutting is high carbon protected by paint. ## Features - Precision Long Straight Blades for Detailed Cutting – Features narrow, tempered steel blades that provide exceptional accuracy for fine pruning, thinning, deadheading, and harvesting delicate flowers, herbs, and vegetables without crushing or bruising plants. - Durable Tempered Steel Construction – Crafted from high-quality tempered steel for long-lasting sharpness and strength, ensuring clean, smooth cuts through stems, soft growth, and small plant material during repetitive garden tasks. - Lightweight & Ergonomic for Reduced Fatigue – Designed with a lightweight body and comfortable, non-slip handles that offer excellent control and reduce hand strain, making them ideal for extended use in greenhouses, raised beds, and garden plots. - Smooth, Easy-Cutting Action – Engineered for effortless operation with minimal resistance, allowing gardeners to make quick, precise cuts while maintaining plant health and promoting cleaner, stronger regrowth. - Versatile for Pruning, Harvesting & Floral Work – Perfect for trimming flowers, shaping plants, snipping herbs, harvesting vegetables, and creating floral arrangements; an essential tool for gardeners, florists, growers, and hobbyists who demand precision. - Long, straight, pointed blade for a wide range of applications - Fully heat-treated steel blades for strength - Blades, spring and handle coated to prevent rust - Unobtrusive leather strap lock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000HEIVSM | | Best Sellers Rank | #13,234 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #11 in Nippers & Snips | | Blade Edge | Straight | | Blade Material | Alloy Steel | | Blade Type | Straight | | Brand | Corona | | Brand Name | Corona | | Color | Tempered Steel | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 742 Reviews | | Finish Types | rust | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00038313049300 | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Handle Material | Alloy Steel | | Item Dimensions L x W | 1"L x 1"W | | Item Type Name | Straight Snip Clipper | | Item Weight | 0.2 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Corona Clipper Company | | Manufacturer Part Number | AG 4930 | | Material Type | -- Other -- | | Model Number | AG 4930 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Point Style | Straight | | Product Dimensions | 1"L x 1"W | | Product Style | Minimalist | | Size | 7.375" Overall Length, Handle Length 3.5" | | Style | Minimalist | | UPC | 038313049300 | | Unit Count | 1.00 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Corona - **Color:** Tempered Steel - **Item Weight:** 0.2 Pounds - **Product Dimensions:** 1"L x 1"W - **Style:** Minimalist ## Images ![Corona Long Straight Snip - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61oRB+N96nL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sharp, precise and tough. *by S***E on March 23, 2026* These are very sharp.
