Bonsaify | Bonsai Tools - Basic Comparison and Recommendations

Eric receives a lot of questions about bonsai tools, and while he generally recommends the tools he uses, he decided to run a test of two other types of bonsai toolsets that are commonly purchased. In this video, he compares his normal everyday bonsai toolset to a set off Amazon and to cheap tools he purchased from our local hardware store through three distinct bonsai operations - cutting wire, trimming and branch cutting, and stripping bark. 00:00:37 Eric describes each of his tools. Scissors are basic for trimming branches, leaves, and twigs. Wire cutters made in Japan. When needing to cut larger wires, he uses a small bolt cutter. Branch cutter. He uses his pliers almost as much as his scissors. Pair of bent nose tweezers. 00:01:59 Review of the toolset from Amazon. It includes lots of tools, but not a lot that can be used and they're low quality. 00:02:41 Sharp metal burr on the scissors = danger! They also stick. 00:03:27 Not just one, but two small scissors that Eric doesn't feel are useful. 00:04:03 Mini shovel and rake - what would you use these for?!? 00:05:27 Pair of plastic construction garden loppers - not typically used for bonsai and these will fall apart. 00:06:10 Eric discusses a third option: buy a few simple tools from your local hardware store - a slip joint plyer, electricians' scissors, and angled wire nip. We've included affiliate links below. 00:06:33 Comparing these three sets of tools and how they work in certain operations. First, a wire cutting test. 00:10:43 Second, stripping back from branches. 00:11:10 Third, testing trimming and branch cutting on a Ficus bonsai. 00:13:48 Watch Eric's final recommendations!
