Scissors

[colostoney]

better the bud harder it is to trim
my friends all cant believe my bitching and my outdoor always takes me into January to trim until they try to
help me
im a fucking for real grower and my haze if it turns out right is like trimming glue boards it will not trim in a trim machine period
so the whole fucking joke to trim machines were engineered for pretty shitty unsticky herbs or something
and WTF I savor every morsel of my scissor jizz who the fuck ruins it in alcohol or veg oil? lmfao

I like a really sharp blade and prefer a set with a finger tang. The scissors I use were purchased at Sally Beauty Supply. The Feather Switch Blade Model 55/56. If you try these be careful they truly are RAZOR sharp.

Yep, ARS curved snips here, too. Can't take the Fiskars, I'm out of it within an hour using those.

Never had problems with the Fiskars, but Santa might have placed a ARS curved snip in my stocking. Thanks for the heads up.

ARS curved shears are the way to go..the spring in fiskars or the like will wear you hands out after a full session..we take a lighter to the spring to ease the spring tension and that works well also.

i used spring loaded curved scissors - the angle of the curve makes it able for my wrist to not bend as much and keep more of a straight arm to wrist scenario. The trick with the spring loaded scissors is; take out the spring and cut it in half then place it back into the scissors. this reduces the amount of tension and strain it puts on ur hand. I use a razor blade to scrape of scissor hash and then put them into my scissor cleaner box by TrimBin (a box lined with stiff brushes and add alcohol) wipe them off and ur good to get back at it!

 

[smoothbud]

Never have understood why so many people want to have a spring loaded scissor. The spring just makes it harder to close. I just get scissors with finger holes in the handle. Always thought the spring was just a sales gimmick rather than a beneficial feature.Maybe I'm just a little too dense to understand the benefit.

Cut the top off a water bottle, then fill that with ISO, then insert the dirty scissors (I like to give each trimmer 3 pairs of scissors, so two sets are
soaking at any given time)
Also, I prefer 'PAM' spray non stick, but Olive oil works just as well to throw a lubricating layer down on the scissor blades.
3RD PIC DOWN:
Is the angled blades
To each his, or her own, but I've seriously trimmed a shit ton of weed personally, and these ARS Grape Shears seem to fight my carpel tunnel syndrome the least.
ALSO 3RD PIC DOWN:
You might be able to see the price sticker $20.95, or however much it says (I put them all back on the shelf)
