What are your favorite harvest scissors?

I'm curious which scissors people prefer for harvesting. I used the fiskars micro-tips for years but it was always frustrating how quickly they deteriorate under heavy use. Growers I know go through dozens of pairs of them every harvest, then just throw them away when they start to suck. Seems wasteful to me. I found some awesome hand-forged Japanese snips that last forever, and I'm so stoked on them that I've started importing and selling them. But I wanted to ask other growers for feedback from their harvesting experiences.

I'd love it if people would chime in with the snips you use, and what you like or dislike about them. Do you use different scissors for harvest than inside the grow?

Thanks so much. I look forward to hearing your responses.

with the thread nippers you hook one of your fingers through the hole leaving both hands free to handle branches and such without putting them down.

Saves sooo much time.

As you can see, the consensus is Fiskars are some good shit.
Deff worth the money. Most of their pruning line up will do the trick,
I personally find the soft-touches handle ergonomically sound, something you wont regret clutching for the hours of laborious trimming.

We're not buying your brand. Fiskars rules over yours... I'm not switching products....

Thank you all for your opinions. I agree that the fiskars are a good product, but when you do a lot of work my experience is that they deteriorate pretty quickly. It seems like most people here prefer spring action snips? Does anyone prefer to use classic scissor-style snips?

I also really enjoy the thread cutters for trimming leaves off bud, but when I use them I need to keep another pair of snips on hand for cutting branches because with the thread cutters you have no leverage to use to cut through thicker material. I still use em though, and have been selling quite a few of them too.

Sorry for offending you. I do care about your opinions. I'm posting because I am considering adding additional trimming products to my site, and I thought this would be a good place to ask for feedback. I was transparent in my post that I sell scissors, so that people would be aware. The purpose of the post was to start a discussion and to get honest feedback.
