Ok Real world update! I purchased a set of the hero's and have use them for a couple weeks now. When I first set them up I had to test the finger in the blades of course. Not Recomended! It gives you a good pinch and a small cut. I have bounced the blades off of my fingers when working and as of yet have not got a cut. If care is used there pretty safe although I would not recomend for small fingers, I think they could cause some damage. Worse case would be getting the blade to swipe underneath a fingernail. It would have to be just perfect and probibly more likely with a small finger but I would say it is a possibility if only a slight one. I would say they have honestly cut job time down about half. Give or take. There is some minor draw backs. As expected if the bud is foxtailed you will cut off some tips. Suprisingly though you can work the blades around and get some pretty pricise cutting. I would say the worst problem is leaving more crow's feet then a pair of fiskers but they come off pretty easy once dried if its a big deal. Also if your dealing with an airy bud then look out. Also think edward sizzorhands with the trim. It flys everywhere including into your eyes. I ran them for less then 5 minutes than went to the hardware store and bought a big clear plastic box. I set this on it's side with a light over it and have this sitting in a water heater tray. Working inside the box catches a large portion of the flying trim. If you do the trimming in 2 stages it goes pretty fast and the trim can be seperated First off removel of large fan leaves is very fast with these. These things would be crazy for outdoor monsters preping for the twister. Once the fans are taken care of then these can be picked up and the close work can be done. I would say the quality of extracts will be a bit better beause of ocasional tips or opps but it is very usiable. This was one of my worries when purchinsing them. The trim is finer cut then sizzors but not mushed up so bubble , bho, wax, etc can still be made with the trim. They seam to be quality built but I would have to say a bit overpriced. That said they seam to fill the void between all hand work or mecanical trimmer. I have a bad wrist so for me they are more comfortable to use then sizzors. You won't eliminate the sizzors but you will greatly reduce the amout of time you are using them. I would say they are a practical and useful tool for the farmer who grows enough to make the trimming job a dreaded task but not so much that he wants to buy a twister, or for the twister owner who wants to further speed up the task of prep work. I would like to see them priced a couple few hundred less for what they are but untill someone takes them to china and duplocates them for 10 bucks what's a guy to do! Maybe a pair of these and a trim pro rotor going as well, Hope someone finds this helpful, Peace
