The invention discloses pruning apparatus of the compound action hook and blade type. At the upper end of a longitudinally-extending handle, a stationary hook is fixed and extends upwardly therefrom in a plane parallel to and offset from the longitudinally-extending plane of the handle. It defines a downwardly-facing arcuately-shaped limb-engaging-surface for engagement with a limb. There is a movable blade which has a cutting edge and is operable to be reciprocated in an intersecting manner through cutting and return strokes with relation to the engaged limb and to the limb engaging surface of the fixed hook. A lever is pivotally mounted relative to the hook and a link pivotally interconnects to each of the lever and movable blade. The hook and movable blade and lever and link are each disposed contiguous to a common vertical plane. A rope and pulley assembly operatively interconnects with the movable blade through the lever and link and has a free end extended to the lower extremity of the handle for effecting pivotal movement of the movable blade through the cutting stroke responsively to a manually effected pull.

An elongated pressure sensitive adhesive element for attachment within a recess on a component part of a shear, the upper side of the sheet carrying indicia for indicating the manufacturer or distributor or seller of the shear. The shear has pivoted crossed blades normally biased to opened position and is provided preferentially with a recess or inset in the spine or upper wall of the upper handle, into which an ornamental and/or information-bearing label may be inserted: (a) to impart a pleasing appearance to the tool; (b) to conceal an unsightly rivet which attaches the biasing spring to the handle; and (c) to carry information such as the manufacturer's or distributor's name, his trademark, tool model or number, or the like. The label and upper handle may be of contrasting colors to enhance tool attractiveness.

A shear has a first elongate blade having a generally convex work-engaging-cutting-edge and an elongate handle portion and a second elongate blade having a generally convex work-engaging-cutting-edge and an elongate handle portion and a pivot means for pivotally linking together the first and second blades. In closing stroke, the blades are swingable toward each other and their cutting edges oppose each other in facing relationship with the defined included angle between the blades at any point of their intersection having certain value in the order of 17. degree. +-. 3. degree. The combined included angles of the bevels of the cutting edges of the blades is in the order of not less than 80. degree. and not more than 120. degree.
