advice on scissors and tweezers

[Al404]

i need to buy scissors and maybe a set with tweezers would be better

i don't want to spend a lot of money i search on internet and i'm not sure if dennerle aquascaping set is a good choice, i don't really need the tool for gravel

i also found as most sold on amazon a set really cheap 10£ not sure if could be ok, it sounds too cheap 🙂

chinesebay, Those Vktech ones on amazon look like the standard Chinese ones. Can't fault them for the price, they do the job. The curved scissors are okay but I think the wave ones will be easier to use. For delicate work I use the Neutro Pro Scissors Spring - Curved which are amazing if I need to go cack-handed. But a pair of £1.99 st.st nail scissors would do the same job or you can google/ebay/amazon spring scissors to get cheaper options.

I do love my spring scissors. I find them much easier to use.

Be carefull with some cheap ones, leave them damp next time you prune they just chew your plants due to very low grade stainless. +1 for the wave and netro that's what I replaced my cheapo ones with, they are as sharp as the day I purchased them. They feel nice in your hand too.

I have Fluval tweezers and scissors. Work fine. My best tweezers, until I trod on them were a £2.50 inc P&P pair for Ebay Hong Kong. They were made of much thinner stainless than Fluval and others I have got BUT meant you didn't need to use much force to grab plants, were fantastic.

wave and metro is the brand? i watch a video of spring scissors and i guess are easier to use in water
