not bad at all! one thing that has kept me from buying an automatic trimmer is that it looks like you give up control of the trim job. but this little bonsai trimmer actually still lets you have control of the trim without killing your hands. still $800+ is pretty steep. looks like a pretty basic piece of equipment. is that oil he's dipping the blades in??

Yea, they are incredible. Ends up looking just like a great hand trim. It is a bit steep but that gives you a year warranty & 1 power box & 2 power scissors.....He is dipping it in water.

Call me if you have any questions

How might one do a single cut with these?? I mean when I dig into a nug from the base and get a tough to get leaf, it takes one push of the scissors, if these are cutting 12x a second your gonna be cutting everywhere you put them=tough job unless your just haircutting and imo those platform trimmers are gonna accomplish this, just do a 360 with your cola on the grate and it cuts around the flower as these are gonna cut around the flower and might just cut off budlets real easy with 12 cuts a second, I see these being finger choppers more than anything else...
Have you ever cut your self with a pair of fiskars? And your finger is still there to tell the story right, with these I'm betting your finger is gone! These have been out way over 10years and nobody has given them a good review in that time...ime

I guess I know what you mean baba. You'll have to see them in action and actually use them to understand how they work so well. I've stuck my finger in them countless times to prove to people that they will not cut you at all, they only pinch. We might just put up a video of me sticking my finger in there lol. You can search YouTube and see them in action on all different sized flowers. Which method do you prefer baba G ??

Anybody have hands-on experience with the hero vs testerossa models? Been curious about these for years.

Hey Baba, I know this sounds stupid because it was - I cut the shit out of my finger with some big fiskars scissors a few weeks ago, right with the very tip!

I prefer paying folks good $ to take their time and do a quality job with Fiskars. How comfy is the grip on that thing? After 8hrs of holding it do you feel like your hand is shaking after you stop using it? Like the ol lawnmowing experience where you mow for a couple hours and then feel the aftereffects...lol I'm guessing they don't vibrate that intensely...
If they won't cut your finger, what kind of cutting power do they have and do they need constant sharpening as they are closing 12x/second?

That thing looks like it would leave crows feet all over and I'd be going back over shit...To get the closeness I like it seems like you'd chew up buds...P.s. that thing really doesn't look any faster, i mean those lil branches have 4-6 fan leaf cuts and then only a dozen or so small snips...those things seem way overkill, but that's just my opinion.
 
#11
No, i never noticed any 'lawnmower' effect lol. They arent sharp like a knife or scissors to began with when theyre brand new and they dont need sharpening. Just give em a scrape with the razor when you're done for cleaning.
 
#12
Once you've used them a couple times you wont have to go back over anything with the fiskars.
 
#15
Forget those fiskars snips with the workout spring, try ars, so smooth and effortless. Seems like i end up using the curved ones most.

I could see having both auto and manual available, on the table right next to a tp-rotor or twister.
 
#16
You can mute the spring with a rubberband around em...lol
I got ars(always really sharp!) curved are nice, use em for garden maintenance!
 
#17
I'm gonna leave the hedgetrimmers for trimming hedges...
 
#18
i could see the benefit of these as long as someone first trimmed off all the fan leaves, as i like no sign of stems either. then just buzz the buds real nice with the trimmers. i wouldnt mind trying them out.

i would figure they would be a better trim than using an automatic trimming machine and dropping $2500. but whats the best quality??? i dont spend 5-6 months growing to fcuk it all up on trimming lol

Post some in-action photos of this gadget actually at work. (also a few of them snipping at your fingers, please)
 
#20
Search 'bonsai trimmer' on YouTube.. you can see it in action on all different size and types of flowers. The finished product looks amazing!
