For me, the greatest tool I picked up in recent years was a kneeling stool, I used to suffer a lot with my back and knees during harvest.
I go straight from plant right through to the final manicure in one sitting. Pluck off all the fans and cut it into individual limbs. Then using a trimbin, clip until finished.
I love these mini clippers for the final manicure and any straight secateurs for the rough work.
I get too distracted by tv, so I usually listen to an audio book while working.
