An adjustable shears has a handle that can be adjusted to selectively re-configure the shears. The adjustable shears includes a first blade, a second blade pivotally connected to the first blade for pivoting movement of the blades about a first axis to accomplish a cutting motion of the blades. A first handle is connected to the first blade and a second handle is connected to the second blade. The second handle is configured for connection to the second blade in a plurality of distinct positions with respect to the second blade, at least some of the distinct positions being separated angularly from each other about a second axis parallel to the first axis.

A garden shears has an anvil portion, a driving arm, a blade portion and a plurality of pivot shafts. The anvil portion sandwiched an anvil, and the anvil portion and the driving arm are pivoted together by a pivot shaft. A gear and the blade portion are disposed between the driving arm. The blade portion has a straight groove and a rack portion. A pivot shaft is used to pivot the gear and the driving together is engaged and another pivot shaft passes through the straight groove and the driving arm with the pivot shaft capable of sliding in the straight groove and the gear being engaged with the rack portion to achieve the effect of a stable speed.

A hand-operated ratchet cutter with a movable and a fixed handle, wherein the fixed handle forms a first fixed blade, and a movable blade is hinged to an upper end area of the fixed blade, for shearing interaction in a cutting plane with the fixed blade. The movable blade moves in a plane parallel to the cutting plane, and the fixed blade has a first flat side. A fixed jaw with a second flat side (21) facing the first flat side is formed that also extends up to the upper end area of the fixed blade. A passage slot for the movable blade adjusted to the thickness (d) is formed between the first and second flat side, so as to ensure the shearing interaction between the movable and fixed blade even under a load by having the jaw act as a supporting jaw.

A cutter comprising two members each having a handle portion and an operative portion. The two members are pivoted together at a pivot located between the handle portion and the operative portion of each of the said two members so that the members are movable relative to one another about the pivot. The cutter further comprises at least one releasable cutter blade on the operative portion of one of the said two members. The two members are pivoted together releasably about a pivot pin of the pivot. The or each cutter blade is formed with an aperture through which extends the pivot pin.

A cutter comprises one or more blades, a hinge coupled to the blades, and one or more adjustable handles pivotally coupled to the hinge. When being adjusted, the one or more adjustable handles permit adjusting their positions with respect to the opposing handle without concurrently actuating the blades.

A hand-held device consistent with the present disclosure includes a first member and a second member coupled together by a pivot point such that each member can rotate independently. The first member includes a first handle and the second member includes a second handle on a first region of each member. The area of the second handle is greater than the area of the first handle. The shearing device includes a protrusion on a second region of each member. Each protrusion is disposed at least 65 degrees from the corresponding handle of each member. The protrusion of the first member has a beveled portion above a cutting edge of the first member. During a cutting action, cross-torque force is applied upon the protrusion of the second member by the first member or a cross-torque force is applied upon the protrusion of the first member by the second member.
