Review on 3-Piece BambooMN Bonsai Tree Pruning Trimming Tool Kit - Leaf Trimmers & Rake by Ashley Voisine

Revainrating 5 out of 5

You can't go wrong at this price

I don't know what these were originally intended for, but I use them for trimming medicinal cannabis at harvest. These won't work on stems, but I don't think they were supposed to be used that way (title says "leaf" trimmers). These are ideal for trimming large amounts of small leaves very quickly.These are small - about 4 inches long. I've done a lot of trimming and I think it's more important to match the blade to the application than to match it to your hand size. It's kind of like tweezers or clothespins - we don't make those in different sizes to match people's hands. They are sized for the application for which they were designed.These are really nice for herb harvesting and manicuring. The pouch they came in was not of good quality and I didn't keep it, but it did a fine job of protecting them during shipping. After harvest, these trimmers cleaned up fine and I slide them inside an old paper towel tube and folded up the ends.I don't know how long they will stay sharp, but for this price I can consider them disposable and I won't hesitate to buy more when these get dull.Update 3/25/14:These trimmers have made it through another harvest. It's really nice to have this set of 3 - when one trimmer gets too sticky to use, you can just grab the next one and keep going. Afterwards, stand them in a shot glass of rubbing alcohol for a little soak, then wipe clean. They still seem as sharp as new after several harvests.

Pros
  • The kit includes a leaf trimmer, scissors, and a rake
Cons
  • May require more force to cut through thicker branches
