Abstract
A nipper for pruning sticks, stems and branches is provided with an anvil having locator hooks which partially block the jaw opening of a nipper to limit the size of sticks, stems and branches to be cut. The locator hooks further position sticks, stems and branches for cutting such that larger sizes are subjected to higher cutting forces, and are shaped to enhance retention of sticks, stems and branches for cutting.
