Trimming scissor recommendation

Post by Growmie »

Hey GR family,

I was wondering if I could get some recommendations for bud trimming scissors, I think I have narrowed it down to either the Fiskars soft touch micro tip scissors or a pack of 5 bonsai trimmers, but I keep finding mixed reviews on both.
I got some scissors delivered today but they are actually huge shears, not what I was expecting :lol: so will keep those for topping etc.

Thanks for any help!

I've used the expensive ones and the cheap ones. They all gum up and do the same job. I tend just to use the cheap plastic handle one's now. Use a Stanley knife to clean the gunk off whatever trimmers you choose.

I love these ones.

Had them for years, I would buy another pair tomorrow if they ever broke, no thought involved. :viking:

I just got a few pairs of some cheap bonsai scissors. Little bit of isopropyl alcohol and they come up like new.
Plus with multiple pairs I can just swap to a clean pair, rather than having to clean scissors all night.
Works for me 🙂

Exactly what I have and will never look back.

A rapper wrote a song about it somewhere on you tube :idn:

As long as blades not huge most are fine. I would suggest getting 2 types if you can 1 straight, and 1 curved. I personally don't use ones with "finger holes" much I preferer a set with a good hand fit not to short or long to lessen hand fatigue.
