Before I go out and buy the pruning kits at the LFS, what do you pros use to
maintain your planted aquariums?

My fingernails aren't long enough. I used a pair of $4 stainless steel scissors
from the office supply store for a year, and still use it in fact.

But recently I have been growing hairgrass, which is VERY fine, and I bought the
aquatic gardeners kit to enable me to plant individual blades. The 11" tweezers
are maginficent, and the gravel rake is actually useful.

The $4 scissors still get the most use.
