The second shear has an elliptical second pivot hole, and a sidewall of the second pivot hole has a limiting surface. A sliding slot is disposed on the second shear, and a limiting indentation is disposed along an outer sidewall between the second pivot hole and the sliding slot, with a second cutting portion extending from an upper section of the second shear. The two joined pressing arms respectively have a connecting rod at a lower section and an Z-shaped upper section; an elliptical engaging pivot hole is disposed on each arm, and a third pivot hole is disposed at the upper section and used to be engaged with a first spacer.

1. A garden shears comprising:

a first shear, a handle portion of the first shear offset from a first cutting portion of the first shear, and a central portion of the first shear comprising a centrally positioned first pivot hole and an first eccentric pivot hole offset from and below the first pivot hole, the first cutting portion coupled to the upper portion of the first shear;

a second shear having an elongate second pivot hole at a middle section, and a sidewall of the second pivot hole having a limiting surface with embossed patterns; a sliding slot disposed in a lower section of the second shear, a limiting slot disposed in an outer sidewall between the second pivot hole and the sliding slot, and a cutting portion extending from an upper section; and

two joined pressing arms respectively having a connecting rod at a lower section and a zigzag upper section, an elongate engaging pivot hole disposed at a lower portion of the zigzag upper section, a third pivot hole disposed at an upper portion of the zigzag upper section, and a first spacer;

wherein the second pivot hole of the second shear is pivoted with the first pivot hole of the first shear with a first screw to form a center pivot axis, and the limiting surface with embossed patterns of the second pivot hole provides positioning and limiting functions; wherein the two joined pressing arms are respectively installed on the two sides of the first shear and cover the second shear, and the two joined pressing arms utilize the third pivot hole for pivoting onto the eccentric pivot hole of the first shear with a second screw to form a first pivot point; the first spacer is placed between the two joined pressing arms and pushes against the limiting slot on one side of the second shear to form a stopping region; the engaging pivot hole at the middle section of the pressing arm is pivoted onto the sliding slot of the second shear with a third screw to form a second pivot point, the sliding slot further providing a second spacer pivoted with the engaging pivot hole such that the second spacer engages with the sliding slot and moves along with the engaging pivot hole.

2. The garden shears as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second cutting portion is a blade or an anvil.
