A hand operated cutting tool includes a first handle coupled to a first cutting member, the first handle having a first set of projections; and, a second handle coupled to a second cutting member and movably coupled to the first handle, the second handle having a second set of projections. The handles are movable between a full open position and a full closed position, wherein a first region of movement is defined by the first and second sets of projections being at least partly engaged, and wherein a second region of movement is defined by the first and second sets of projections being disengaged.

A handle structure for a garden tool, and the handle structure has a handle and a padding member. An accepting slot is formed inside the handle, and there are several binding apertures on the handle, and one end of the binding aperture is a circular edge connected to a rim in the accepting slot. The circular edge has a guiding slope that gradually expands toward the other end of the rim, and a circular groove is provided on the periphery of the handle. There are several positioning columns protruding from the padding member. The positioning column is hollow and an engaging groove is adjacent to the positioning column.

A hand operated cutting tool includes a first handle coupled to a first cutting member, wherein the first handle has a first set of projections. The hand operated cutting tool also includes a second handle coupled to a second cutting member, wherein the second handle has a second set of projections. The handles are movable between a full open position and a full closed position, wherein during a first region of travel proximate the full open position the first and second gear projections are at least partly engaged, and wherein during a second region of travel proximate the full closed position the first and second gear projections are disengaged.

A control device of a cutting tool is revealed. For performing cutting, opening and closing, the cutting tool includes a pair of handles pivotally connected to each other and each handle having a blade. The control device is set on the handle and involved in opening or closing of the blades of the cutting tool. The control device includes a first component and a second component. The first and the second components are connected to and locked with each other tightly by a fastening structure. The control device is disposed on the handle closely, without loosening from the handle.

A pair of pruning shears with multi-stage actions for cutting branches with larger diameters is revealed. The pruning shears include a fixing member, a blunt member, a cutting tool, a crank member, a moveable handle, a first locking member, and a second locking member. The fixing member, the crank member and the cutting tool are pivotally connected. The cutting tool consists of a blade part and a curved teeth part. The first locking member and the second locking member are pivotally connected to the fixing member and the crank member respectively. Each locking member is disposed with a hook part, a first projecting rod, and a second projecting rod. The first projecting rod and the second projecting rod are arranged symmetrically. The first locking member and the second locking member are engaged with different teeth respectively at different stages. Thereby the pruning shears performs cutting at different stages.

A gardening scissor includes a first cutting unit, a second cutting unit, and a control rod. Each of the first and second cutting units has a tool portion, and one end of each of the tool portions has a first handle and a second handle. The first and second cutting units are pivotally connected together through first and second through holes. An axial hole is formed near the first through hole, and one side of the axial hole has a gap to connect with the step-shaped space. An extending wing that is protruding out from the second handle is formed at a rear portion of the tool portion. When the control rod is inserted into the axial hole and connected with a stopping unit, the control rod can be restricted by the stopping unit and cannot be laterally separated from the axial hole.

A gardening shears includes a first blade, a driving arm pivoted to the first blade, a second blade pivoted to the first blade, and a link arm pivotally connected between the driving arm and the second blade. The bottom portion of the second blade has a sliding groove and positioning recesses. A switching device installed inside the driving arm is locatable at a first usage position where an end of the link arm is stationarily engaged with a positioning recess next to the top end of the sliding groove for enabling a direct cutting mode for cutting a small-sized branch, and a second usage position where the end of the link arm is slidable in the sliding groove and selectively engageable with one of the positioning recesses for enabling a stepwise cutting mode for stepwise cutting off a large-sized branch by changing the force-applying fulcrum.
