Your favorite set of shears, trimmers?

[Wilderb]

As I am approaching harvest, I am doing an inventory on what I may need. I am realizing that the shears I used in the garden are maybe not the best for my ladies. Have looked at some different types. Not sure what kind would work best.
Why are you using and why?
Thanks

I use the Bonzai trimmers for outdoor harvest time and fiskars for detailing. Fiskars for indoor only

I see some straight and some curved. Am I better to have both or just overkill?

OP two pair have served me well. I like this pair because they're fine enough for trimming, but heavy and sharp enough for pruning and cutting branches. Long blades to reach in to plant if needed:

and these are the standard for trimming, for trimming only in fact, home depot/wal mart has them too:

Love Fiskars or just being a dick? Can't tell.

probably the latter.

The Fiskars are essential pretty much, but man glad I spent the money for a heavy bigger pair too. Spring design on whatever is highly recommended

these, hands down.. great spring action, good for when they get all gummed up with resin, and nice and pointy allows you to get in nice and close on the bud..

those Dramm's look pretty nice. Our local Meijer's store (regional chain box) had the Fiskars on sale last year for $9 a pair so i bought a few pair cause i always misplace them.

If you're going to be trimming for hours, buy 2 pair of Fiskars. When one gets gummed up with trichs, scrape and collect the gooey resin (scissor hash) then leave that pair to soak in 91% rubbing alcohol while you use the clean ones. Repeat as necessary, it certainly helps a long boring, tedious process to have clean trimmers.

I use a set like that from the 99 cent store. Works great.

Thanks all for the replies. Got some Fiskars and some cheaper spring loaded ones. Now I am hoping they wait for about 10 days as I am leaving for a week. Of course they are looking pretty close. Got a usb scope coming so I can really see my trichs. 60x just doesn't cut it for me.
Peace

Good times

 

[Wilderb]

Wow. This scope rocks. And looks like fairly clear trichs for now. Glad I got this little beauty.

 

[indawindica]

Still using my fiskars I got 10 years ago. Great trimmers.

 

[Aeroknow]

I personally don't like the spring loaded ones. But I know plenty of people who do.
I still love my 15+ yr old pair of fiskars I got

Just keep em scraped clean with a straight edge razor blade, and easy peasy
