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.

Disclosed are scissors, which comprise handles and scissors heads, the handles comprising a first handle and a second handle, the scissors heads comprising a first scissors head and a second scissors head, the first scissors head being provided with a first blade and extending from one end of the first handle, the second scissors head being provided with a second blade and extending from one end of the second handle, and the first scissors head being pivotally hinged to the second scissors head via a pivoting structure, wherein the first scissors head and the second scissors head have a small width to thickness ratio at the connection between the scissors heads and the pivoting structure. The scissors greatly increase the rigidity of the scissors head, enhance the shear-compression intensity of the scissors, facilitate the cutting of thick objects, and meet the requirements of various objects to be operated.

A hand tool includes a first jaw; a second jaw rotatably coupled to the first jaw, the second jaw including a first set of projections and a first bearing surface, the first bearing surface having a first curvature; and a lever coupled to the first jaw, the lever including a second set of projections and a second bearing surface, the second bearing surface having a second curvature. During a movement of the first and second jaws from a full open position to a full close position, the first and second sets of projections are at least partially engaged to prevent a slippage between the first and second bearing surfaces that are in a rolling contact during the movement of the first and second jaws from the full open position to the full close position.

A cutting tool, comprising a first blade having a cutting edge, a second blade having a cutting edge, and pivotally connected to the first blade at a first pivot point. A first handle is pivotally connected to the first blade at a second pivot point, a second handle is pivotally connected to the second blade at a third pivot point, the first handle is pivotally connected to the second handle at an adjustable fourth pivot point, and the cutting tool further comprises a switch arrangement comprising a switch allowing a user to change location of the fourth pivot point from a proximal pivot point to a distal pivot point.

A foldable gardening shear may comprise a main body, a pair of handles, and a pair of pivot members. Each of the pivot members has a control unit, a knob, a screw and a pair of covers. The main body comprises a first pivot pin pivotally connect to a pair of cutting members at a middle portion of the main body. Each of the cutting members has a blade formed at an upper portion thereof, and the two blades are configured to couple together to achieve the cutting effect. The present invention is advantageous because the handles can be folded upwardly, which enables the gardening shear to be carried and stored easily; and in the folded position, the handles are respectively located at two lateral sides of the cutting members, which can prevent the blades from hurting the user.

A multi-position lock for a pruner or secateur comprises a movable selector for selection between a locked condition for the blades of the pruner or secateur and one or more degree of opening positions for the blades. A typical example allows locked, maximum half open or maximum fully opened operation of the pruner or secateur.

A gardening shear may comprise a first blade, a second blade, a first handle, and a second handle. By using leverage principle, a user can use the gardening shear of the present invention to easily cut limbs or branches of plant, which is labor-saving. Moreover, the gardening shear of the present invention is simple in structure, which saves time and effort in assembly and lowers costs of manufacture.

A pair of gardening shears include a first driving arm, a jaw member pivotally connected with the first driving arm, a second driving arm pivotally connected with the first driving arm, a first handle mounted on the first driving arm, a second handle mounted on the second driving arm, and a locking unit mounted on the first handle. Thus, the jaw member is pivotally connected with the first driving arm by the first bolt, and the second driving arm is pivotally connected with the first driving arm by the second bolt, so that the jaw member and the second driving arm have different fulcrums to construct a multi-lever structure so as to perform the cutting action smoothly in an energy-saving way.
