Fresh Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 You can only use scissors for so long so I finally made the move & ordered a set off Amazon. After some back & forth I went with a full set from Hosmide. I was sold on the first cut 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick_G Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 So nice! I’m still using my fly tying scissors to trim my tank 🙁. I need to get a kit like that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanked Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 The tweezers are especially useful for picking the pest snails off of the plants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott P. Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Nice set. So far I have a 10 inch curved pair of scissors and a 10 inch pair of tweezers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jungle Fan Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 (edited) My Aquarium tool roll purchased over time: straight scissors, curved scissors, wave scissors, spring shears for thicker plants, bent planting tweezers, straight tweezers, carpet plant trimming tweezers, forceps, substrate flattener, regular small scissors for moss in tight places, a crescent wrench for CO2, and a set of needle files for removal of Nerite eggs, or algae on driftwood when the need arises PS: the needle files also work great for white superglue removal from inappropriate places on driftwood.

Jungle Fan Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 @Fresh correct, all else are just nice to haves, and what accrues over many years. of temptation in LFSs.😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanked Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I got a 5 pc. kit two years ago. The 10" tweezers and curved scissors are a definite improvement over my Bonsai tools. I used the substrate flattener for the first time this week. it works in tight spaces, but isn't much help otherwise. The other tools have never been out of the case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameCzar Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I think I looked at that same kit, so let me know if you end up recommending it! Our scape tools are kind of a hodge podge right now, but it's getting us by. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried it but didn't care for it. Plus the metal scraper doesn't sound good with sand and glass. I will most likely only use 2 of the 6 lol On 8/5/2021 at 11:15 AM, GameCzar said: I think I looked at that same kit, so let me know if you end up recommending it!

Don't think I'll need the full set but it was $20 on Amazon so I went with it since each one can be $10 alone Edited August 5, 2021 by Fresh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
