Description
Chikamasa T-552 Pruning Shears are straight-blade precision scissors manufactured in Japan to the exacting standards that have made Chikamasa the preferred cutting tool brand for professional growers worldwide. We have been recommending Chikamasa tools to UK cultivators since 2017, and the T-552 straight-blade model is ideal for precision trimming, defoliation and stem cutting during all stages of the grow cycle.
Straight Blade Precision for Detailed Trimming Work
Where the B-600H curved blade excels at working around canopy structures, the Chikamasa T-552’s straight blade gives you precise, flat cuts for close-up work: removing fan leaves during defoliation, precision lollipopping of lower growth, and clean stem cuts for mother plant maintenance. The straight profile gives excellent visibility of exactly where the blade will make contact, reducing the risk of accidentally cutting adjacent growth.
Like all Chikamasa scissors, the T-552 is manufactured from high-carbon stainless steel with a fluorine coating on the blade surface. This prevents resin and plant sap from adhering to the cutting edge, maintaining sharpness and smooth scissor action throughout extended trimming sessions. The ergonomic spring-loaded handle opens automatically between cuts, reducing hand strain significantly compared to non-spring scissors.
Care and Suitability
Clean after use with isopropyl alcohol to dissolve resin residue and extend blade life. Store in a dry location to prevent any surface oxidation at the pivot point. The T-552 is suitable for cuttings, training, harvest trimming and ongoing plant maintenance throughout your grow cycle. It is compact enough for detailed canopy work but robust enough for taking clean cuttings from woody mother plant stems.
Pair with a dedicated scissors cleaning solution and a trim tray to maximise efficiency during harvest. A professional-grade tool that justifies its cost through longevity and consistent cutting performance.
