Abstract
The present invention relates to scissor action tools such as garden shears or the like which are provided with a pair of cooperatively engaging members united for scissor action about a joint. In particular, this invention relates to tools of the type provided with a shock absorber for absorbing the impact created upon complete closure of the tool. The shock absorber includes a shank secured to one of the members. The shank is configured to merge into a resilient head which is formed as an annular structure. The head comes into abutting relationship with the other member when the members assume a closed position.
