secateurs
Handheld hedge trimmers
Secateurs are pruning shears—a hand tool with two curved blades that pass each other like scissors, used for cutting stems and small branches in gardening: She grabbed the secateurs to deadhead the roses.
The term is standard in British English; Americans more often say pruning shears or clippers.
