sheep shears

Sheep shears are large scissors or a mechanical tool used to cut wool from sheep.
Traditional hand shears have two blades joined by a curved spring handle that opens automatically after each squeeze.
Modern electric or battery-powered shears have replaced hand shears on most commercial farms: He oiled the sheep shears before the spring shearing.
