A gardening shears includes a shank having an elongated groove, a first handle connected to the bottom end of the shank, a first shear blade having a first blade portion and a first shank portion with top end connected to the bottom end of the first blade portion, a second handle connected to the bottom end of the first shank portion, and a second shear blade having a second blade portion and a second shank portion with top end connected to the bottom end of the second blade portion. The first shank portion has an axle assembly located in the elongated groove. The second shank portion is pivotably connected with the first shank portion and the shank by first and second pivot members respectively. When the handles are opened or closed, the axle assembly moves along the elongated groove to change the torque on the handles to save effort.

A hand tool including a shear assembly is provided. The hand tool includes a first handle, a second handle, a cutting blade, and a linkage. The first handle forms a channel extending along a reference axis corresponding to an extension of the first handle. The second handle includes a cutting member. The cutting blade forms a first opening and a second opening. The linkage is attached, via a first fastener, in pivotal arrangement to the first handle at the channel and to the cutting blade at the second opening. The cutting blade is attached, via a second fastener, in pivotal arrangement to the second handle at the first opening.

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.

Pruning shears include a housing having a motor portion and a handle portion. A motor is disposed within the motor portion of the housing, and a trigger assembly is disposed within the housing portion. The trigger assembly is operable to control the motor. The trigger assembly includes a trigger and a trigger lock. The trigger lock prevents actuation of the trigger until the trigger lock is depressed.

A garden shears has a first blade member, a second blade member, a controlling handle and a protecting member. The first blade member has a first cutting portion, a first aperture at a middle section, a first toothed section adjacent to the first aperture and below the first cutting portion. The second blade member has a second cutting portion, a second aperture at a middle section, a third aperture at a lower end. The controlling handle has a driving member with a fourth aperture and the second toothed section on a top edge at an upper section. The protecting member has a main body with two opposing ear portions, each ear portion having a fifth aperture and a sixth aperture.

In one or more embodiments a system of foldable shears is provided, comprising a pair of shearing blades, each blade having a sharp side and a blunt side. The blades are connected to handles via a hinge, and the handles have one side that is straighter and another side that is more rounded or irregularly shaped. One of the blades includes a backward facing hook on the blade's blunt side. Additionally, the blunt side may have partially sharpened serrations or other features. The blades can fold about the hinge for easier transport and storage and the shears are configured so that the hook does not extend past the handles when folded to prevent catching the hook on anything or damaging any nearby equipment.

A garden shears has a first blade member, a second blade member, a controlling handle and a protecting member. The first blade member has a first cutting portion, a first aperture at a middle section, a first toothed section adjacent to the first aperture and below the first cutting portion. The second blade member has a second cutting portion, a second aperture at a middle section, a third aperture at a lower end. The controlling handle has a driving member with a fourth aperture and the second toothed section on a top edge at an upper section. The protecting member has a main body with two opposing ear portions, each ear portion having a fifth aperture and a sixth aperture.

A shearing tool has a first unit with a first blade, rotatably coupled to a second unit with a second blade, at a first pivot having a first pin, so that displacement of the first blade relative to the first pin in a direction parallel with a first rotational axis is prevented, and the handle is connected to the second blade so that rotational movement of the handle relative to the second blade about a second rotational axis is allowed. The second rotational axis is defined by a second pivot interacting with the second blade and the handle at a distance from the first rotational axis in a direction away from a cutting edge contact point. When the shearing tool moves from an open to a closed position, the second blade is driven towards the first blade at the contact point for increasing the cutting capacity of the shearing tool.

A gardening shears includes a shank having an elongated groove, a first handle connected to the bottom end of the shank, a first shear blade having a first blade portion and a first shank portion with top end connected to the bottom end of the first blade portion, a second handle connected to the bottom end of the first shank portion, and a second shear blade having a second blade portion and a second shank portion with top end connected to the bottom end of the second blade portion. The first shank portion has an axle assembly located in the elongated groove. The second shank portion is pivotably connected with the first shank portion and the shank by first and second pivot members respectively. When the handles are opened or closed, the axle assembly moves along the elongated groove to change the torque on the handles to save effort.

A reciprocating blade apparatus includes a pair of reciprocating blades stacked on one another in a thickness direction. Each of the blades includes a base as a flat plate extending in a longitudinal direction, and a plurality of teeth protruding in a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction. A transmission case of the reciprocating blade apparatus also includes a reciprocating member having a joint detachably coupled to the base, the reciprocating member being reciprocably supported in the longitudinal direction. A blade support member is attached to the transmission case and configured to sandwich bases of the pair of reciprocating blades therebetween to allow the pair of reciprocating blades to move in the longitudinal direction. The blade support member holds a space to accommodate the pair of reciprocating blades and is independently attached to the transmission case. The pair of reciprocating blades is detachably attached to the blade support member.
