Best trim scissors???

With harvest day 3-4 weeks out. It's time to get some good scissors for my first ever harvest. I don't want to pay a ridiculous amount but I am willing to pay for quality. Any suggestions. If it they can be bought online, post a link!! I need two pairs as my wife is supposedly gonna help....... Thanks for your help! Peace

I have 2 different scissors, the fiskars and Gro1 shears with curved blades. Both work great but I give the edge to the Gro1 because the blades are curved they make it easier to manicure and shape the buds. Both were bought on ebay.

Fiskars http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fiskars-Micro-Tip-Easy-Action-Scissors-/280743341806?_trksid=p4340.m506&_trkparms=algo%3DNGRI%26its%3DI%252BC%26itu%3DUA%26otn%3D5%26pmod%3D280736090169%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D3017547537568403673

micro tip fiskars, i have 2 pairs always lose one. lil bastards

i like the sewing snips that are held between the forefinger and thumb, there pretty acurate. i also use surgical scissors i got from a vet tech i know. there are plenty of good scissors at a craft store like michaels or hobby lobby, just make sure they are kinda small, with most of the length in the handle, larger scissors are cumbersome and hard to trim acurately. make sure you keep a glass of isoprophyl alcohol on hand so you can clean the scissors (after scrapeing the hash off of course)
whatever you do stick to scissors and not trimming machines, most of those things are garbage.

the blue curved fiskers. youll luv them.

I use little kids classroom scissors. one finger in each space... like 1.25 at walmart. Scrape the scissor kief and toss em out!
But many peopl elike spring loaded

fiskar mini prescisoin scisors!

they look like kid scoisors you got in art class in grade school, but they are razor sharp and have a beveled point on each blade..ive had mine for 3 yrs now...you can get in small spaces and make clean cuts

something spring loaded if you have a good harvest,I found a couple pairs cheap at Dollar General,look just like fiskars,2 bucks each at this time of year,they sell garden stuff 50%-75% off right now

long stainless steel suture scissors work well, but will cut into your fingers a bit after a while

i got these ones

Small Utility Scissors. you cant beat them.

i have been harvesting for 6 years of comertial growing...... over 60 LBS minimum have passed through these hands. i have tried trimming sheers, long scissors, short scissors, steel and plastic..... and the advice i have for you is this:

#1. get a pair that fits YOUR hands. it will keep them from cramping.
#2 get a pair of STAINLESS steel scissors. they clean better and stay sharp longer.
#3 too short is bad, but too long is WORSE.

these are the kind that i use, they are BY FAR the best. craft stores are the best place to find them.

My personal favorite ... German "Dovo" manicure scissors, no. 5610.
I own two pair - one for me and one for the ladies. cn

My Plan B is a pair a lot like these (narrower tips) ... but the Dovos work a treat for me, so I never even got these blades dirty yet.

those look like those old bicycles lol

the fiskars i got fit me, but just barely..i tried the smaller ones like yurs but my thumb was gettin all raw and shit lol
