Quick Snip Trimmer Lubricant is ideal for use on snips, shears, and automated trimmers, anywhere a sterile, food grade lubricant belongs. Safe for use with live plants, your cuttings will benefit from a sterile blade surface that reduces the risk of infection and shock. Quick Snips advanced action works in two ways... it contains a food grade lubricant and a sterilizer, which dissipates rapidly, leaving the food grade lubricant behind. The lubricant fills the microporous surface of your cutting blades which creates a smoother, sharper, cleaner cutting action, reducing the buildup of plant waxes, which makes cleanup easier and less frequent!
