As I am approaching harvest, I am doing an inventory on what I may need. I am realizing that the shears I used in the garden are maybe not the best for my ladies. Have looked at some different types. Not sure what kind would work best.
Why are you using and why?
Thanks

OP two pair have served me well. I like this pair because they're fine enough for trimming, but heavy and sharp enough for pruning and cutting branches. Long blades to reach in to plant if needed:

and these are the standard for trimming, for trimming only in fact, home depot/wal mart has them too:

probably the latter. :)

The Fiskars are essential pretty much, but man glad I spent the money for a heavy bigger pair too. Spring design on whatever is highly recommended

those Dramm's look pretty nice. Our local Meijer's store (regional chain box) had the Fiskars on sale last year for $9 a pair so i bought a few pair cause i always misplace them. :)

If you're going to be trimming for hours, buy 2 pair of Fiskars. When one gets gummed up with trichs, scrape and collect the gooey resin (scissor hash) then leave that pair to soak in 91% rubbing alcohol while you use the clean ones. Repeat as necessary, it certainly helps a long boring, tedious process to have clean trimmers.

Thanks all for the replies. Got some Fiskars and some cheaper spring loaded ones. Now I am hoping they wait for about 10 days as I am leaving for a week. Of course they are looking pretty close. Got a usb scope coming so I can really see my trichs. 60x just doesn't cut it for me.
Peace

Wow. This scope rocks. And looks like fairly clear trichs for now. Glad I got this little beauty.
