I remember being horribly biased towards Fiskars years back and thinking they were awful because we used to use their extremely inexpensive safety scissors in school. Those things would always be awful, they were always dull as heck because well, kids abused them and who knows how many years they'd been abused for. So that bias stuck in my head for years. Then I tried actually using some of their better products I purchased brand new, sharp, and undefiled. Started with a few pairs of sewing scissors years back, and particularly for the price (good fabric scissors can be pricey so it can be a major factor), they were (and continue to be) incredible. It's one of my preferred brands now, there's a few chintzy items they do make but most of their stuff is great and can't be beat or even matched for the price in my more recent experience. There is definitely higher end and much more expensive stuff out there, but I don't think there are many other brands that give you as much value for your dollar. Also yeah, it's cool they're from Finland, hehe
@@lobstersrs Here in Finland, we make two things that are of a quality of their own. One is Fiskars ’legendary Orange Scissors and the other is our own knife, the Puukko. The Puukkos are so high quality that you can make even logs for a campfire with those by hitting the knife with smaller log so that it splits in the middle of a bigger one and cut it to two peaces from middle. Puukko is a traditional multi-purpose tool here and it is usually gived as a gift for every child. I have Fiskars Orange Scissors that were already in use in my childhood home and still work as brand new. Fiskars' small garden saw, the blade of which can be pulled inside the handle, is perfect in your pocket and quickly cuts even thick branch from year to year.
Thanks for this video man. Great info for the community. Buying one of your cuts right now. I noticed that cactusaffinity.com says the site is closed, any information on that?
Thank you for your business, we sincerely appreciate it! Cactus Affinity has been selling through Facebook on his business page, definitely check him out there until his website is up and working again.
Do you have a recommendation for sieve? i finaly used a kitchgen collander the other day and was amaze at the difference. got 4 cuttings to plant when they arrive so starting to look for decent equipment as my first two were touch and go (still sort of are lol) learned a lot from them for this next round though!
I have the fiskars flower shears and have a love-hate relationship with them, they fall into two pieces too often and there's no lock/safety/ don't fall apart button, any cures or yours behave properly?
Those gloves look promising, I picked up a mason jar grabber with x hinges and rubber grips that works great for picking up small to medium cuttings, but the tactile ability of a glove is promising and I saw in other comments that even a Cholla won't pierce them / us
