The smaller sister product to our FloraBrite® Bypass Secateurs — a properly dedicated harvesting and precision snip for the soft, delicate work of the cottage garden. Razor-sharp stainless steel blades for clean cuts on tender stems, lightweight body, compact design for the tool belt or gardening apron, and the same bright fluorescent handles (pink or yellow) that make the FloraBrite range impossible to lose. At £13.49, properly the right tool for the everyday work of picking, harvesting, and tidying.

From Sheffield toolmakers Burgon & Ball, who've been making proper garden tools since 1730 — nearly three centuries of British toolmaking heritage. RHS-endorsed, with a 10-year guarantee against manufacturing defects.

What this is for — precision over power

These are snips, not secateurs. The difference matters — this is the dedicated tool for delicate work where the secateurs would be too heavy:

  • Picking cut flowers — the precision the bypass scissor-action gives lets you cut individual stems cleanly without crushing the rest. Important for vase life
  • Harvesting herbs — chives, basil, parsley, mint, dill. The clean cut means the plant regrows cleanly rather than rotting at a crushed stem
  • Soft fruit harvesting — strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, gooseberries. The compact size and precision tip let you snip individual berries free without bruising the rest
  • Deadheading delicate flowers — cosmos, sweet peas, calendula, antirrhinum. The smaller tool is properly easier than full-size secateurs for repetitive precision work
  • Light pruning — thin growth, sucker shoots, new herbaceous stems
  • Edible flower picking — nasturtiums, calendula petals, borage flowers, violas
  • Vegetable harvesting — salad leaves (cut-and-come-again style), French beans, mangetout, ripe tomatoes from the vine
  • Microgreen and seedling work — harvesting cress, sprouts, microgreens at the precise stem level

For thicker stems (anything over the diameter of a pencil), reach for the FloraBrite Bypass Secateurs instead. The snips and secateurs are designed to be a complementary pair — the snips for delicate everyday work, the secateurs for proper pruning.

Why fluorescent — the anti-loss design

  • Bright pink or yellow handles — properly visible against foliage, soil and grass. Snips drop into beds and disappear; FloraBrite snips don't
  • Reflective strip on the handles — catches light in low-light, overcast days, or at dusk. Particularly useful for early-morning picking sessions before the light is up
  • Easy to spot in a tool basket — obvious even when buried under other tools or garden detritus

The whole FloraBrite range exists to solve the gardener's perennial problem of misplaced tools. Once you've used them for a season, going back to traditional-coloured snips feels like an unnecessary handicap.

The tool itself — properly considered

  • Razor-sharp stainless steel blades — stainless suits the fruit-and-flower work; doesn't stain or transfer iron taste to harvested produce. Sharp out of the box and stays sharp
  • Bypass mechanism — the two blades pass each other (like scissors) for clean cuts rather than crushing the stem. Important for tender herbs and soft fruit; an anvil snip would mash the delicate material
  • Lightweight body — comfortable for extended harvesting sessions; no hand fatigue
  • Compact size — fits in a gardening apron pocket or on a tool belt. Properly the size for taking with you on a flower-picking round
  • Ergonomic handle shape — soft grip that doesn't tire the hand through long sessions of repetitive cutting
  • Safety catch — secure locking mechanism keeps the blades closed when not in use; essential for tool-belt and apron storage
  • RHS-endorsed — chosen by the Royal Horticultural Society for their official recommended tool range
  • 10-year guarantee — against manufacturing defects; reflects Burgon & Ball's confidence in the build quality

Choose your colour

  • Sunny yellow — the highest visibility against green foliage; the "I'll never lose these" choice
  • Vivid pink — softer aesthetic, still highly visible; works well for pink-loving gardeners

Both colours have identical engineering and performance. Purely a colour preference.

Particularly good for

  • Cut-flower growers — precision picking, repetitive cutting, the snip you reach for every morning of the season. The bright handle means you can leave it on the bench between rounds without losing it
  • Kitchen gardeners — herb-picking, soft-fruit harvesting, salad-leaf cutting. The genuinely right tool for the daily kitchen-garden harvest
  • Herb gardeners — basil, mint, parsley, dill, chives. Clean stem cuts let plants regrow properly
  • Allotmenteers — the busy-plot tool you don't want to lose. Compact for the apron, visible when set down between beds
  • Anyone harvesting soft fruit — the precision tip lets you snip individual fruit without bruising neighbours
  • Older gardeners or those with arthritis — the lightweight body and ergonomic grip reduce hand fatigue compared to heavier secateurs
  • As a gift for someone who already has secateurs — the natural complementary tool. Or for someone who's mentioned losing their snips

The FloraBrite pair

This snip is the natural complement to our FloraBrite Bypass Secateurs — matching range, matching colour choice, matching anti-loss design. Together they give you the everyday cutting tool plus the precision harvesting tool, both in the same instantly-findable bright palette. The proper "FloraBrite pair" for the working garden:

  • FloraBrite Snips (this) — £13.49. For picking, harvesting, deadheading delicate flowers and soft fruit
  • FloraBrite Bypass Secateurs — £23.49. For pruning, woody stems, anything thicker than herbaceous

Many cut-flower growers and serious kitchen gardeners end up with both tools side-by-side on the potting bench. At £36.98 for the pair, they're a proper investment in the daily working tools of the garden.

How it fits in our cutting and pruning range

We stock several cutting tools because different jobs need different tools:

  • FloraBrite Snips (this) — precision scissor-action for soft work; high-visibility anti-loss design
  • FloraBrite Bypass Secateurs — the cutting partner for woody stems up to 2.5cm
  • Collectors Fruit & Flower Snips (Pink) — the heritage scissor-action alternative for those who prefer the traditional aesthetic over fluorescent
  • Ergo Deadheader — ergonomic palm-squeeze design for arthritis-friendly precision work
  • Collectors Bypass Secateurs (Navy) — heritage aesthetic full-size secateurs
  • RHS Pocket Pruner — compact pocket-sized secateurs
  • Flora & Fauna Gift Set — coordinated trowel and secateurs in gift presentation

For precision soft work, the FloraBrite Snips and the Collectors Fruit & Flower Snips do the same job — the choice is purely aesthetic: bright anti-loss vs heritage Pink design.

About Burgon & Ball

Burgon & Ball are one of Britain's oldest toolmakers, founded in Sheffield in 1730 — nearly three centuries of British toolmaking heritage. They're RHS-endorsed, supplier to the Royal Horticultural Society, and the chosen manufacturer for the Sophie Conran licensed garden tool collection. We stock their range because they make proper garden tools the proper way — tested in real working gardens, built to last decades rather than seasons.

As a gift

At £13.49 the FloraBrite Snips sit at the genuine stocking-filler / small-but-considered gift price point. Particularly suited to:

  • A cut-flower grower — this is properly their everyday tool; bright colour means they'll always find it
  • A kitchen gardener or allotmenteer — the daily harvesting partner
  • Someone who already has secateurs — the natural complementary tool
  • Mother's Day, Father's Day, birthdays — properly affordable but genuinely useful
  • Christmas stocking — the kind of practical gift that gets reached for every week of the gardening year
  • Paired with seed packets or a small pot of herbs — turns into a complete herb-and-snip gift bundle
  • As an under-£15 add-on to a larger gift order
  • Older gardeners with hand strain — the lightweight design is properly easier than full secateurs

A small thought: there's a particular pleasure in the morning round of the cut-flower garden — basket on the arm, snips in the apron pocket, picking dahlias and sweet peas before the bees are up. The right tool for that morning round matters more than people realise. Snips that fit the hand properly, cut cleanly, find their way back into the pocket, and don't disappear into the bed when you set them down for thirty seconds. The FloraBrite snip is exactly that tool. Bright enough to find, light enough to wear all morning, sharp enough to do the job, and built well enough that it'll still be your morning-round companion in twenty years.

Amazing quality and well worth it!!!
Color: Black
Great watch! My son saw his friend have and was impressed so I got him one! This one doesn’t have a connection point from the band to the watch so it can’t break there which has been the issues with all his other watches. This is easy to setup and use! It worked so great that I got one for my other son! They both say the size and options are perfect! Highly recommend!

Great classic timepiece
Color: Black/Digital Gray/Silver-Tone, Color: Black/Digital Gray/Silver-Tone
I’ve been using the Timex Men’s Ironman Triathlon Classic 30 (38mm) for a while now, and it’s easily one of the most dependable watches I’ve owned. The design is simple but functional — lightweight, comfortable, and perfect for workouts, outdoor activities, or just daily wear. The Indiglo backlight is super bright and makes it easy to read in the dark, and the buttons are responsive without feeling flimsy. The stopwatch and countdown timer features are straightforward and accurate, which I really appreciate for timing workouts. I also like that it’s water-resistant, so I never have to worry about it in the rain or while swimming. The 38mm size is just right — not too bulky, but still sporty and easy to read. The battery life is excellent, and the Timex durability definitely shows; this watch can take a beating and still look good. If you want something rugged, affordable, and practical, the Ironman Classic 30 is a solid choice. It’s a no-nonsense watch that does exactly what it’s supposed to — and does it well.

Lightweight, Options, and Ease of Use Make this a Great Watch
Color: Black
I have purchased many Timex watches over the years and I am entirely satisfied with this watch. I always buy the sports watch, as I swim and do triathlons. Things I like about the watch: *Setting the watch is easy and the instructions are clear (although the printed instructions are very small!) * The watch is not too big. So many watches have too many features and they are large, bulky, and heavy. This watch is sleek, has a low profile, and has a size that is ideal for average needs. * The numbers are big enough to see easily at a glance. * There are enough useful options, and this watch is not overloaded with too many options. Too many options are confusing to me. I like the simplicity of this watch and the ease of use of the options it has. * I like the plastic watch band. I have tried the velcro strap bands and they wear out after a year or so of use. The plastic band will eventually break, but is fairly easy to replace. * I like the price. At less than 35 dollars I have everything I need in a watch. * I like and use frequently the Indiglo feature. I have even used Indiglo to find my way to the bathroom at night from bed! The light on the dial is bright enough to make your way through the dark for a short trip! Things I don't like: There is not much I don't like about this Timex watch. I suppose my biggest complaint about this watch and any Timex watch is the difficulty in changing the battery. The battery will eventually need replacement, and of course one has to take off the back of the watch to replace the battery. This is tricky and takes a steady hand. I wish Timex would make the battery more accessible so changing the battery would be as easy as sliding one in or out of a hinged door (like on a hearing aid). Obviously, there is much more to like about this watch than not like. I do recommend it for a good sport watch. It will withstand chlorine pools, lake water, rainfall, high and low temperatures, but be careful not to scratch the dial window! I scratched the main window crystal and ruined my last watch. Avoid spraying any kind of bug repellant on the window as well, as this can mar (dull) the surface. For me, this watch meets all my needs and I give it a 5-star rating. My needs are faily simple. There are certainly other watches that offer more features, but to me, the added features add complexity and are not worth the added bother. The price is good. The watch is good quality. This is a good buy. Jim "Konedog" Koenig

Great watch; but why the triangle screws?
Color: Black/Digital Gray/Silver-Tone
I have been using these watches for many years with very good luck, and would normally give them 5 stars. They are comfortable, waterproof, durable, and have an alarm and a countdown timer. (The waterproof and countdown timer - that can be set to repeat - make them good for sailboat racing, and these are much cheaper than sailing watches. ) But at some point before the watch breaks, the battery will die. It is not hard to replace the battery. Except now the watch comes with triangle head screws holding the back on, rather than the regular phillips head screws they used to have. Why? Is it that important to keep people from opening up their watch? Making things harder to fix is a step in the wrong direction. Knocking off one star for that.

Still the champ.
Color: Black/Negative Digital/Gray, Color: Black/Negative Digital/Gray
I absolutely LOVE my Casio GBA800 that I have bully bars on, so she's quite huge. Analog with Bluetooth, pretty cool. If I ever remember to use such things. I have a phone and laptop on me usually, why do I need to play with my watch? I want to tell time, that's it. Comes along a good sale for an Ironman, and I used to be a complete fanatic for only Ironman for a real person's needs. Why not, I've been fighting the Casio all day with my coat cuff, let's get something a bit slimmer for when it's coat season. See if they're still great. Yup! Sure is. It's been probably 25 years ago last time I wore this style of Timex, and can you believe the button setup and beeps are all still the same as way back when! And somehow, my subconscious remembers the button presses. Wild. This thing is light as a feather, and I got the inverse LCD for fun, which is cool as all get out, but takes some getting used to. The Indiglo sure looks awesome, though, and she's like Knight Rider down there. Stealth. The display is big, and easy even for my old eyes, the band is supremely comfortable, and there's a strap catch that actually works correctly! With no Bluetooth, battery life should be outstanding - always used to be. Back when watch batteries were like $12 each. There goes my allowance! Lol. I'm very impressed by this timepiece. I really didn't mean to order order it, but, oh well. I love it as much as my Casio. Affordable tough watches rock!
