flourine coated scissors

I have a couple pairs of chikamasa fluorine coated scissors. after one trimming session you can notice areas where the two halves of the scissors meet, the coating is wearing off. I'm worried about flourine ending up in my finished product. does anyone have and insight into this?

Never heard of them... what do they cost and is there as reason you picked them? I dig the green hydro farms, cheap and always worked great. For like 6 bucks they are good for several pounds before they should be replaced. And generally I replace them do to misusing them.

they're generally considered to be the best trimming scissor out there. non spring loaded. not the cheapest shear.

I guess I have zero experiance with that. I have tried the non spring loaded and dont like them. I dont know how much your trimming but the way I do it is to have about 2 pairs in alcohol per person and when a pair gets gummy just put them in the glass and take the next pair. My wife and I can easily trim a lb or 2 per day like this without getting too burnt or tired.

What kinda weight are you processing?

oh not much. I was actually wanting the non coated ones for this exact reason but they sent me these instead. I think I'm gonna return them for the ones I actually ordered.

Everyone's idea of not much is differant I'd say if your clipping for 6 hours a day the springs dont bother you. If your clipping longer than that the non spring loaded ones are great after you get used to them. I always go for cheap and replaceable if they work well and if you havent tried the hydro farms if give em a shot. If you have tried them and hate them than ignore me. Every brand is differant! A lot of spring loaded scissors are too stiff

Don’t know what your trimming needs are and how big of a scissor you need but i had these so i use these. They are for aquariums and they are working well for me thus far. Don’t have any experience with your scissors but if it leaves a residue fuck it.

I bought a pair of those and after holding them in my hand, I don't think they were intended for Cannabis. I ordered the Happy Hydro ones from Amazon, nice pointy tips and curved even better than the Chickamas.

I pull out the old whipper snipper, much easier
