Schwer Air-Skin Cut Resistant Arm Sleeves
These protective arm sleeves are a cut (ha!) above the rest, offering an American National Standards Institute cut-resistance level of A6. With many alternatives only offering A2- to A5-level resistance, the Schwer option also promises UPF 50-plus UV protection aimed at keeping you cool and comfy for outdoor work. With sensitive skin in mind, the brand boasts a glass-fiber-free construction, utilizing a thin yarn with a high-density stitch to maintain a “lightweight, second-skin feel.”
FELCO 310 Picking and Trimming Snips
Every greenhouse worker needs a trusted, reliable pair of snips to get through the busy season. The FELCO 310 offers a slender, stainless steel cutting surface for “surgical precision,” according to the company, intended to minimize waste when trimming or picking flowers and fruit. An ergonomic handle design makes for a one-size-fits-all feel, with a lightweight construction — under a quarter of a pound — and a cutting diameter of 0.39 inches.
