FUCK no! I hate those things. I wasted my money buying two pairs and then 'fixing' the stupid spring. Then I was introduced to ARS curved blade grape scissors by ncga, and I have *never* looked back. Outside of considering those Bonsai trimmers, or the Wanderer.

I'm buying myself a TrimPal the moment I have the cashola, my friend. :) But! I'm still gonna look out for those blades, because the TP does still require a bit of clean-up by hand. Done comfortably in front of the tv or at the kitchen counter.If you like ARS you need to check out Chikamasa. flouride coated blades keep oil from sticking. Super badass.
Oh, Jesus... are you ready? My neck, my shoulders and my back and knees ALL appreciate not being stuck at a table hand-trimming. So NOT being in constant pain (it takes less than an hour for the shoulders to start with that awful, searing burning pain) alone is a life-changing event for me. That alone...I don't think the trim pal will do the volume that the twister would do. However when your buds are dried correctly, I feel the trim pal does a great job.
First of all, I suck at trimming, so the trimpal is heads and shoulders better than me in the first place. Second, it is soooooo much faster. The quality you loose you make up for in lost time. In the end, I believe it all equals out, and you don't have to babysit 10 trimmers.
@Seamaiden What do you think of the trimpal?
We all have that one friend that trims like Ray charles lolYes, it does need a touch up, but the time spent in relation to the volume is ok for me so far. I just looked at some hand-trimmed buds from a friend and they look worse than the automatically trimmed buds.
that's definitely the trimmer I'm going to buy if I ever buy one wish I could rent one from Home Depot a few times a year somedayI'm buying myself a TrimPal the moment I have the cashola, my friend. :) But!

The fact that I can wait until my product is dried and cured is absolutely PERFECT for how I do things, I want the whole plant to dry and cure on the bone. It may be weird, but it's what I prefer. So that's a huge #2nd Good Thing.
Third, you can play with the humidity level of the buds and that allows you to get a different result with trimming. I have found that, as you said, there is that sweet spot for a lot of strains and doing it too dry you definitely end up with the tumbled looking buds. If you go with more humid buds it does take a lot longer, but what you end up with looks a lot more like a hand trim (to my needing-new-glasses eyes).
Fourth, it's quiet. Fifth, it looks like a composter. Sixth, it forces you to not mess around with those little tiny budlets that are time wasters, but you may need them to help you make weight. Not all buds are going to be nickle-size or larger (at least, not for me, cuz I've gotta get my canopy control issues under control) and this trims them, and those that are just too small to mess with go right through into the trim itself. Seventh, watching the buds tumble is hypnotizing....
I *must* have one of my own! I seriously love this thing.
I dryed and cured my outdoor with all the small leaves on itWith the price of pot I don't even use scissors except to cut off the stems:) all I do is pull all large fans and 50% of the smaller kiefy leaves and I'm done. I even got a compliment from a friend who helped me move, this guy didn't believe me lol
If u grow chunky buds it's easy to get away with:D
"Keep ur head down and ur mouth shut"Gram an hour works good around here..
Boot slow trimmers quick and no talkin....lol
