After two months of trimming using the spring loaded fiskars, I grew tired of them.... Had like 5 pairs in rotation, and the problem is that once they gunk up, they start pushing apart and stripping out the plastic threading that the screw holds them together in..... Mind you this is over a long period of time.....

I have found that these are much more comfortable... and fast for me. The wide handle is actually quite comfortable.

Mind you, I hate fucking trimming... I have to trim with a bandanna over my face and some sort of goggles on, as i am SUPER reactive to it. Eyes start itching, swell shut, nose starts running....

i get the same bad effects when trimming. i have told people this and they tell me i am crazy.

you're crazy!

Sucks ass too, cause I'm a decent trimmer.... usually what happens is I smoke the twelfth joint of the day and forget that I have the shit all over my hands and scratch my nose/eyes/face and from there its down hill. Once that itch begins it is over with. Worse than poison ivy for me.

I was talking to a guy who is a chemist that runs a dispensary and he was talking about how most cannabis plants grow a trichome called a cystolith glandular trichome that is actually such an irritant that if produced in high enough concentration, it can irritate a deer's throat enough to deter them from eating the plant. Additionally, they also can be attributed to a plant's ability to deter sucking pests such as thrips and mites. Apparently they grow in higher concentration on stems (where you tend to hold the plant when trimming)

Whoops.... Sorry to thread jack
