    Hi all, I am currently using the ANS curved scissors to trim my moss and glosso on a monthly basis. However, the part where I need to grip is not rounded and after trimming for 5 mins, it doesnt feels comfortable and it is a little heavy. Therefore, I am now looking at spring scissors which I believe will be much easier to trim. I would like to know what scissors you are using to trim your plants and also your reviews on the scissors that you are using like will it rust, etc.

    Am using the spring scissor to trim all my plant. Feel better and more easy to trim and handle. Think individual preference. Use for about 3 months. So far so good. Bought from a bro in AQ. No brand.

    Spring scissor is good for precision trim' suitable for moss and other small plant that require precission. I use wave scissor for foreground plant. I use short thick scissor to trim fern and normal long scissor to trim stem plant.

    Is there a technique to trimming of foreground plant like HC? I use a sort of wave scissor from NA and when I seems to be pulling some out when trimming it, as in when the scissor closes, it pulls the bunch out slighting.

    Thanks all for your inputs. I decided to get the spring scissors from Seaview. Definitely much easier than my previous curve long scissors and my fingers are feeling better.
