Not too much time with them yet, but I can say these are the lightest scissors I’ve ever used. They have a really good hand-feel and smooth operation. They’re not spring-loaded like many trimmers, but if they don’t get gummed up as often it’ll be fine without it.
I have trimmed up some buds just to test them out and I was really amazed at how easy the scissor hash slides off the blades when I’m done. So far so good! They’re about 2x the cost of normal garden trimmers, so we’ll see if they’re worth the extra cost once we get to trimming the next harvest.
My hands give me fits after trimming with spring shears. My hope is by not having to compress a spring every time I take a snip that it’ll ease the pain.
I’m excited to see how they hold up.
They’re a lot softer than they look – but time will tell if they will cause blisters from rubbing. That’d be worse than the hand pain I think.
Someone mentioned here the other day how light these were and replying to this thread made me think – just how much lighter are they? Here’s the difference from an old pair of mine vs the new scissors.
Lately I’ve just been using whatever piece of crap scissors I find in the kitchen drawer which my girlfriend loves lol.
I should stop being cheap and buy something nice, I never liked spring loaded personally, I always thought good, pro grade hair cutting scissors were the best. Super precise and easy to clean and maintain.
I used my wonderful ladies $1700 shears much to her dismay… Worked well on a final manicure trim, but initial trim kind of struggled. Worth me buying her a new pair? No, I can buy new $10 fiskars for life and still save money
