[grass hopper]

THANKS again, 4u2,didn't know on that "low to the ground" thing either. yes Dan, i would pay $5.00 for most questions i ask here.many answers are so important and interesting.

next; what size and type,are the fiska sissors (shears)you and others have mentioned?? i goggled,and so many variations.titanium,stainless,ergonomic handles,no thumb hole,look like shears.8 in.?? premium models etc.etc.

last year,used portable light 2 ft. overhead.big help,.but sitting next to window was AMAZING.diamonds everywhere. also used cheap tiny sissors worked ok. I liked TINY.also any comments on: we used these terrific 4 or 5 in. mag. glass w/ adjustable string around neck.also has a sm. light inc.pointed down on work area.WAY COOl

DAN got $5.00worth and a friend, i wish i could payback somehow-and more THANK$$ AGAIN

:ciao: newbie....thanks for all the intrests and questions....I dont use fiskars anymore..nor do I like the kind that you have to put fingers in...I use these Hydrofarm snips..they stainless steal and spring loaded....Im able to trim for hrs...the fiskars would make my thumb sore after a few branches...I baught 4 pairs of these last summer and still have 2 in the package on the shelf. they clean easy and dont seem to gum up as much...anywho...I need go clean them now for some more trimming

take care and be safe

is it easy to scrape the gummed up hash off em ?? :joint:

 

[4u2sm0ke]

with razor blade very easy..but I dont save the stuff...after each use I soak them in ISO and clean them..then a drop or 2 of All in 1 oil on the spring

Nice trimmers 4U. Went out yesterday to see what fiskars walmart is carrying. Gonna have to buy a couple pairs of micro-touch trimmers.

tis the season---a trimmer friend of mine uses those green handle sheers---she trims tons and traded out the spring from the green handles for the fiskar spring---says her hand are less fatigued cause the fiskar spring is less springy

happy trimmers = happy herb :smoke1:

My new titanium 5" fiskars came by ebay yesterday. Hoping to get to use them soon. I'll report back on how I like them.

There are a lot of models, these were 14.00 USD a pair.
You can probably do better - they retail for 19.99 / I have to consider international shipping which often limits my options.

Based on advice from several members these were the winners.

no. 5 Spring-Assist Titanium Micro Tip Scissors
Perfect for fabric is how they are often advertised.

:ciao: Norcal....so glad to see you in my yard. Your killing it in your yard man...I started stripping the larger fan leafs yesturday....took down a Pink Lemonaid that had a ton of small buds...decided to make it a hash plant


take care and be safe

Congrats on being one of to start harvest! Happy trimming there.

I also go for the Titanium scissors. I have found the spring will not last through more than one season though. I also have to say, out of three pair we own, only one is my favorite. Gonna have to look into that Hydrofarm scissors now, thanks for the heads up on them 4u.

in edit, forgot to ask, what did you take down?

 

[4u2sm0ke]

took the small Pink lemonaid tcbud.....stripped a gooey and going to do another one today...maybe at Halftime
