- Circle Shear - Tinplate, or tin, was the dominant material for utilitarian items in 19th-century America. To help meet demand, tinsmiths added new machines to their more traditional set of hand tools. Using such machines, tinsmiths could produce large numbers of uniform pieces quickly and cheaply. This hand-cranked circle shear, patented in 1860, cut circles of tin up to 20 inches in diameter.

- Tree Pruner - Gardeners and orchardists use pruning shears to shape young trees, remove damaged or diseased limbs, and maintain tree health. Fruit-bearing trees especially need annual pruning to ensure that flowers and buds have adequate light and airflow to set and form the best fruit. This pruner's long handle makes branches higher in trees easier to reach.
