![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | those handles look exactly like the fiskar handles, but different colors. wonder if its the same mold? i use fiskar micro tip shears. they are awesome! there are too types i have the square handles like the ones u pictured. only draw back is the little safety lock thing is a real pain in the ass. anytime you are pruning tip pointed down the lock tends to slide in place and prevent the shears from closing. this gets annoying unlocking it every 3 snips. fiskar is the only way to fly!! ive got some china shears (the hydrofarm type) and they suck. the tips are rounded and blunt, blades arent perfectly flat/straight so they dont cut perfectly at the tip, where you need it. the fiskar's are super pointy, makes it real easy to get that tiny little stem buried in the nug, unfortunately it makes it just as easy to stab yourself in the leg, or arm or both.... oh yeah. after i ordered mine offline, i realized homedepot has micro tip shears. they are inside, by the garden center doors. not at all anywhere close to the other gardening tools...go figure. 12 bucks too. | ||
