Chika masa stainless bud shears T-550S (japan import)

Strong and sharp, great for floral arrangements

Love these, as they're so small. Better spring action than others I've owned, looks like it's built to last.

I use the orange chickas for trimming. But these red ones are great for bucking down quickly and with less hand strain.

I've been through a lot of bud shears, and these are by far the best. I had two pairs of Fiskers next to me so I could change things up being I had a lot to trim this go round. The minute I picked up the Fiskers snips I could tell a huge difference. I was flying through it with the Chika masa snips, but not w/tjhe Fiskers..and btw, Fiskers are still a good shear...just not nearly as good as the Chika masa's are . Cleaning with 91% alcohol every half hour or so helps a lot, but those that trim bud, already know that.

Saw these recommended in a Reddit sub and ordered a pair. So much nicer to use than my little Fiskars, I expect trimming this year's harvest to be a lot easier on my hands.

I have arthritis & these clippers are a blessing; I can continue gardening which is my passion!

Best trimmers you can buy

I trim quite a bit of plant material and I usually use the classic fiskars brand scissors. Decided to try out these and I wish I had bought them years ago. I used them for about 5 weeks straight all day everyday, they’re way sharper than other pruning scissors I’ve used and the blade length is slightly longer, which is easier for more meticulous cuts. A huge advantage of these is the spring the opens them is much softer than all other brands I’ve used, SO much easier to use all day without cramping of any kind. These are worth every penny and I will definitely buy more, if I even need to, at this rate they’ll last years.
