A cutting device includes a jaw with a first jaw member and a second jaw member, a first handle attached to the first jaw member and a second handle rotatably connected to the second jaw member at a second pivot point, a gear including a first set of teeth and a second set of teeth at a first end of the second handle. The second handle is slidably connected to the second jaw member at the second pivot point to allow the second handle and the second set of teeth to move into a disengaged position where the second set of teeth are located at a distance from the first set of teeth. To ensure that the teeth of the gear engage correctly, a slide lock is in an enabling state allowing the second handle and the second set of teeth to slide in a slide direction from the disengaged position to the engaged position only when the first set of teeth and the second set of teeth are aligned into a mutually predetermined position.

A pruning shear device includes a pair of pruning shears with a lug located at a rear end of a cutter blade thereof, and a switch unit including a position-limiting member movable between a first position where the position-limiting member is abutted against the lug for enabling the pruning shears to perform in a normal operating mode for cutting off small tree branches through a single-stage force-applying operation and a second position where the position-limiting member is kept away from the lug for enabling the pruning shears to perform in an effort-saving operating mode for cutting off large tree branches through a multi-stage force-applying operation.

A switch-free multi-cutting mode shearing tool includes a shearer including a first handle and a second handle pivotally connected together, a cutter blade pivoted to the first handle, a link pivoted to the second handle, and a pushing element mounted at the second handle. The cutter blade has a cutting edge protruding over a front end of the first handle, an actuation portion projecting between the first and second handles, an elongated slot located in the actuation portion and a plurality of engagement grooves inside the elongated slot. The link has a pin located at a movable end thereof and inserted into and movable along the elongated slot and selectively engageable into one of the engagement grooves, such that when the first and second handles are closed toward each other, the pushing element is forced to touch and push the actuation portion of the cutter blade.

A cutting device for the chipless cutting of a material comprises a cutting part and a supporting part. The cutting part and the supporting part are designed to be rotated with respect to one another about an axis of rotation between an open position and a closed position. A hand lever is articulated to the supporting part for pivoting about a pivot axis. A ratchet mechanism converts a back-and-forth motion of the hand lever into a continuous rotational motion of the cutting part toward the closed position. The ratchet mechanism includes a toothing and a drive pawl, which can be brought into an effective position with respect to the toothing. Furthermore, the cutting device comprises a coupling mechanism, which converts a one-time pivoting motion of the hand lever into a rotational motion of the cutting part. A separate coupling element transmits force from the hand lever to the cutting part.

A hand tool including a shear assembly is provided, including a first handle, a second handle including a cutting member, and a cutting blade. The cutting blade forms a first opening and a second opening. The first handle is attachable in a first operating mode to the cutting blade at the first opening via a first fastener. The first handle is attachable in a second operating mode to the cutting blade at the second opening via the first fastener. The cutting blade is attached in pivotal arrangement to the second handle via a second fastener.

A tree pruner configured to reduce the width of the device to facilitate reduction of shipping costs and store space. The tree pruner includes a leaf spring having a first end mounted onto a first end of a lever, and second end connected to a first end of a stop pin, wherein the stop pin penetrates the lever. When the lever is at a first position in a rest condition at shipping or store front, the leaf spring is in tension to exert force on the stop pin to engage with an outer surface of a back hook to hold the lever at the position. When the lever is pulled to a second position for use, the leaf spring is at rest. The the stop pin penetrates all the way through the lever and engages with an edge of the back hook to serve as an end stop for the lever movement.

A garden shears structure includes a first grip, a second grip, and an elastic component. The garden shears structure uses the elastic component to push open the first and second grips and reach the purpose of opening and closing the blade part and the blade jaw part for shearing. When the upper and lower seats of the elastic component are stretched and pushed by the spring, the upper and lower seats can move along the shaft column to achieve a linear displacement effect, so that the elastic component can provide the first and second grips with opening and closing actions in the compressed and stretched state along the axis, thereby making the use of the shears smoother.

Variable force compound gear lopper devices and methods that produce a pinching effect of the handles which comes into play only after the wood, branch, is in the jaws. Once the wood, such as a branch, is in the jaws it causes a countering force which allow the new handle arrangement to cause the frame to rotate slightly on the hook side against the work opposite the cutting blade. So, in effect there is a double compound action against the work. A true double compound pinching effect against the work from both sides of the lopper. With the old version the frame is static and the only action is from the blade side. The variable force lopper has an upper handle; a lower handle connected by a cutting head with upper and lower arms therebetween, with an upper jaw and a lower jaw; and having a slot in the lower arm for the upper jaw.
