worst thread ever, one starred.

nonetheless, i spend enough time with these that i feel like showing them off.

that's one sexy bitch right there, isn't it? :hump:

$6.85 from the local, non-chain hardware store. you can't buy a box of nails there, but a hammer is no problem.

the spring on these fuckers ain't popping out on me, into a pile of trim, lost forever, leaving me scissorless and impotent while while attempting to conquer a trim job.

i use these little fuckers after the buds dry to get really precise cuts.

yes, they're made for sewing. no, i do not have a vagina. i am so man that i debranch like a sir with these little fuckers.

i am so man that i even used pink shears until the spring popped out. motherfuckign goddamn springs, why they gotta be popping like that? weak shit. welcome to the graveyard.

i also have a big mama pair of scissors out in the greenhouse that i use only once a year when getting big branches off the outdoor. picture not available.

let's see the girls you dance with when murdering your girls!

Sad thing is...I can't find a bunch of pairs that I have stashed around the room...I have a purple pair, and a pair of Tin Snips that I use to cut down plants if they're not being compliant, and a few more of the 99 cent store spring loaded fine tips(like the turquoise/light blue ones in my pic)...they're probably my favorite....heheh

well holy shit.

as much as i admire your impressive collection, i must take umbrage with your love of dollar store clippers.

the sharpness of the blade and and sensitivity imparted by a quality spring increases exponentially, in my experience, as you switch away from dollar store, chinese made scissors to hardware store, other-asian (taiwanese, japanese, koreans, etc) made scissors.

i was going to buy 5 more of the one that i have right now, but they sold out of the 20 or so they had. i guess it's trimming season.

Well, those grey ones in the middle are Fiskars softtouch, and the dark blue ones in the middle are made in taiwan...lol...But even the 99 cent store ones all still pretty sharp after a couple snips through sandpaper. I just don't like cleaning them mid-trim, so I bought a bunch to just toss aside when they get gunked up, and take a NIIIIICE scissor hash break every couple hours when I clean them.

i like the shears much better that the springload. my hands get more tired from squeezing the spring than anything else.

It's might bet you can't buy those new anymore. I'd be looking at Swap Meets and Resale / Estate Sales stores.
