A long-handled shears with a detachable connecting device has an operational grip stick with an elongated tube and a wire, a grass shears, and a connecting device attached between the grip stick and the grass shears. The ball is attached to the wire of the grip stick. The base is mounted on the elongated tube, allows the wire to extend through the base and engages the grass shears by a clamp. The engaging block is movably mounted inside a grip of the grass shears and has a ball recess. When the grip of the grass shears is compressed, the engaging block moves aside to reveal the ball recess to allow the ball to enter the ball recess. Then, the handle is released to lock the ball inside the ball recess. By engaging the ball and the engaging block, the grass shears detachably attaches to the grip stick conveniently.
A pair of gardening shears include a handle, a drive member, a control lever, a transmission device, and two cutting blades. The transmission device includes a housing, a pivot plate, a catch plate, a link, a catch flange, a restoring member. Thus, the restoring member is biased between the catch flange and the catch plate, so that the restoring member is not subjected to a pulling force to prevent the restoring member from being worn out by a pulling force during a long-term utilization. In addition, when the pivot head of the handle is rotatable relative to the housing, the stop post of the pivot head is movable to rest on the pivot plate to prevent the pivot plate from directly rubbing the inner wall of the pivot head.
