Is deff see what you were saying about how the single finger action leaves the rest of the hands free to orient branches,
But they look small. Whats the beveled portion of the blades length, aprox?
Seems like after the hours of trimming, that'd be cutting into your finger eh?
Just curious, because they look super fucking nifty.
I still love my Fiskars, but this looks like a good alternative.
 
they work great and are extremely ergonomic. They are made for the textile industry. You can imagine how much nipping and trimming those poor folks do.

All I can say is get a pair and see. I used those fiskars for yearssssssssss. until I found these thread nippers.

I can honestly say the fiskars don't get used much anymore.

nope, I don't do that. I know there are some on utube but I couldn't find them quickly. It's really not complicated. You slide whichever finger is comfortable for you thru the hole and use your thumb to depress. If you need to get close for the sugar leaves I've found the ring finger is best. When you need to take off mass. Use your middle finger. This opens up more of the blade and makes for faster defoliation.

I see, that is a pain in the ass.. I scrape it off with a knife which prolly isn't the best thing and then I use a cotton swab with some rubbing alcohol to clean like new.
 
fiskars suck. ive broken tons and they get crunchy feeling to quickly. My wife picks some chinese crap ones up at the 99cent store and they work better than fiskars and I just toss them after a couple uses.
 
i like these even better, now i just need to buy a pair.
