Vineyard Supplies | Thinning Shears Pros and Cons

Hi there. Chuy Lopez here with Cameron & Cameron here to talk to you today about thinning shears. A growing trend I’ve seen in the past four to five years is that a lot of wineries and management companies are straying away from your standard hook knife, and we’re starting to go with a thinning shear. The pros to a thinning shear, you have less of a chance of a worker getting hurt, you’re gonna get less debris into your totes and into your bins. It’s just gonna be a better quality pick.

The first thinning shear I stock is made by Bahco. The good thing about Bahco is that you can go back and readjust it. It’s got a nut here so that you can tighten it after a long day’s work when it tends to get a little loose. Second option I stock is made by Corona. It is stainless steel. It’s made in the States. If you have a thicker stem that you need to cut, like let’s say with your cabs, this will hold up a little better than your Bahco. The last option I stock is a knockoff of Corona. It’s made by Vaca, also stainless steel. If you have any other questions, feel free to give us a call here at the office.
