Type of review

Nice kit of tools in a very nice pouch. All the essentials for bonsai care except you may want to use a dinner fork as a root rake because hook does not work as efficiently.

Pros
  • I've now used them for several months and they work great.
Cons
  • The case may not be waterproof, putting the tools at risk of damage in wet environments

Defective branch cutter

The main tool, the branch cutter is defective. It will not close all the way, so it won’t cut the branch off. It’s pretty annoying. I tried heating and bending but can’t get the 2 sharp edges to meet. Most likely I’ll have to take it to a welder/metalworker. I like the rest of the kit and been using it heavily in the past week since I got it. Overall a decent kit, quality is what can be expected at this price point. I just wish I could use the branch cutter.

Pros
  • Great quality! Extremely heavy duty. I have used it many times.
Cons
  • The kit may be too heavy to carry around for extended periods of time

It goes above my expectations

Just wanted to let everyone know that I received my 14 piece bonsai tool set today and I am very impressed! It goes way above my expectations because of some of the negative reviews. Everything is on perfect condition and I received each and everything that was shown in the description. The only reason I didn't show the rolls of wire that comes with it is because I wanted a picture of all the tools to show how they came in perfect condition.

Pros
  • Good tools a couple could have been a little better sharpened.
Cons
  • The product may not be effective at pruning certain types of plants

The tools look very sturdy and we'll made

Have not used the tools yet being located in snowy winter weather. The tools look very sturdy and we'll made. Nothing loose. The tools were oiled to prevent the from rusting. The tool holder case is well stocked and we'll made. Zipper is strong and case is Well made to protect these tools.

Pros
  • Tools well constructed, good feel and size
Cons
  • The product may not be durable and may break easily with frequent use

Great kit for the beginner

Great kit for the beginner & the intermediate bonsai artesian. I have better bonsai tools, but, I paid as much for 2 tools as I did for this entire kit. I’ve started a bonsai club & I mainly bought this kit so beginners could have some tools to learn with. These tools will do the job quite nicely. For the price I feel it is a great kit. One note, I did need to lubricate all the moving pivot points with oil & more them back & forth. They were really stiff at first - now with some oil they move…

Pros
  • Great starter kit, upgrade tools as your interest increase
Cons
  • The scissors may not be suited for precise cuts due to their size and shape

These are very poor quality tools

Poor quality and HUGE! I wasn’t anticipating them being so large but they are also such poor quality it deems then functionless. The edges of the snips rub so hard that you can’t comfortably use them and the edge is so dull it doesn’t cut even smaller branches.

Pros
  • good
Cons
  • The product may not be suitable for use in extreme temperatures

Best option for the price. They’ve hand made these tools so they aren’t without imperfections but that is to be expected when something is hand made. Really sharp and heavy - Each tool is VERY stiff upon arrival so OIL EACH TOOL AT ALL JOINTS and keep them clean - this set will last you a long long time. I was extremely hesitant as I’d purchased a couple of sets before that were crap. Good zip case. I didn’t care for the wire - thought that could have been better but all in all for the price I…

Pros
  • Great tools! I use the small scissor and the root teaser the most useful.
Cons
  • The kit may not include all of the necessary tools for a bonsai enthusiast

Dull, rusty, & disappointing

The tools arrived dull and showing rust. The 14 piece set isn't worth the $70 price. It seems that seller is reusing the item number for a different 6 piece set now. Can't comment on that set but after this disappointing experience I'll use contemporary style tools, they perform better for less cost and headache.

Pros
  • Good kit but I wish they had sharpened the cutters and sissies better.
Cons
  • The product may not have a long enough lifespan to justify its cost

Good tools, great value, happy customer!

Excellent tools! They arrived in a timely manner and nicely packed in the box. The case is nice and sturdy. The tools are great. They worked quite well when training my juniper bonsais. I highly recommend to other buyers. Good tools at a great price. Thank you!

Pros
  • Great for the money. Not amazing but great price.
Cons
  • The scissors may require frequent sharpening to maintain their effectiveness

Low quality blades.

The metal is primitive looking steel.It's crooked, warped, irregular shaped. Blades don't operate cleanly. Will hack limbs instead of cleanly pruning. Any regular household scissors are better

Pros
  • This is a sturdy, high quality set with all the pieces you'll need to take care of your bonsai tree
Cons
  • The carbon steel material may rust easily in damp environments

work like they should

I haven't had the chance to use all of the tools yet. The ones I have, work like they should. Nice feel to them and in a good case.

Pros
  • I love it
Cons
  • The kit may not be suitable for individuals with small hands

these tools are crap. They are stiff and not sharp

Even for a starter kit, these tools are crap. They are stiff and not sharp. The will damage the plant and cause slow growth. I guess if you reall need all the tools ard have no money they are good. but none of them are realy sharp like you need. and they have light rust on them. just save yourself the efort and get something else.

Pros
  • A very economical yet complete way to start your bonsai hobby!
Cons
  • The scissors may not be effective at cutting through tough or fibrous plants

Good for beginners. Dont expect even near perfect tools.

Just opened the kit. Wire cutter tip is broken. The tool kit have been used for sure. And most of the tools are rusted. Many of them dont align well to cut appropriately. I can say I will use it in the beginning but the broken corner of the tip of wire cutter makes it not useful and I am considering returning it.

Pros
  • Very good
Cons
  • The tools may be too sharp for children to handle safely

Flimsy tools in my review

The tool set came in a timely manner. However, one of the tools (the bud shear) became warped after 4 days of use and no longer functions appropriately - it barely can cut.

Pros
  • 85% satisfied
Cons
  • The case may not have adequate cushioning to protect the tools during transit

Broom is missing in the package

Product came in good condition all are looking great but the broom is missing in the package. Could you please ship it to me.

Pros
  • Excelente
Cons
  • The set may be too bulky to carry around in a backpack or small bag

Great for beginners, not for quality bonsai growers

Good beginners tool set for bonsai care. Quality of steel is average and required significant time to adequately sharpen. If you have money, like anything else, quality is expensive.

Pros
  • Product delivered as expected. Seller highly recommended!!
Cons
  • The case may take up too much storage space when not in use

Good tool set: my feedback

Good tool set, sharp cutting edges. Only thing that could have been better is a more precise milling at the junction. Several were harder to open then usual. Maybe they will loosen up a little with use.

Pros
  • Can't complain for a beginner tool set for the price.
Cons
  • Sent back

Nice starting kit best in my review

If you are starting with bonsai and you are learning how to use each tool, these are amazing, but the next step is to upgrade to a better toolset

Pros
  • You get what you pay for. Not a bad little kit for beginners.
Cons
  • The case may be too small to easily organize and store all 14 pieces

These are very heavy duty tools, although they are nimble enough to work around my very young bonsai (3-7 years old). The case is great and sturdy and doesn't look too industrial in my minimalist bonsai shelf. I keep alcohol cleaning pads in the case to use before and after. The only real issue is the hand saw is GIGANTIC! I don't have any branches large enough to warrant that beast, but I think I will put it to use outside on my larger plants.

Pros
  • for this price the perfect beginner tool kit.
Cons
  • The shears may become dull quickly with frequent use

Not the value you would think!

This set seemed to be a good value but I guess you get what you pay for. So far I have used the root rake and the pick and they worked fine but the cutting edge of the cutters was not machined properly and they don't snip a clean cut. I should have spent more $ for fewer tools and got better quality.

Pros
  • Great kit for the money
Cons
  • The product may be difficult to find replacement parts for
