Abstract: Pruning scissors comprise a blade and a counter-blade each integral with a grip and mounted so as to be pivoted around a threaded swivel pin cooperating with an adjusting nut of the blade and counter-blade. The nut is rotationally integral with a toothed wheel meshed with a retainer toothed member attached to the pruning scissors counter-blade through a blocking screw. The toothed wheel has an axial opening whose outline corresponds to the external outline of the adjusting nut and is adapted to be inserted around the nut. The retainer toothed member is a toothed gear and the toothed wheel and the toothed gear comprise a respective complementary device adapted to retain the toothed wheel around the nut against any axial movement when the gear is meshed with the toothed wheel.

Abstract: A cutting tool has two active members pivotally mounted around a common transverse axis. The rear portion of each active member has a cross-section of height greater than its width. The corresponding intermediate element is made by being overmolded around the rear portion. The rear portion and the corresponding intermediate element are pierced by at least two through holes for passing respective fasteners such as screws for fixing the corresponding tubular handle in place.
