I use (and like) the Aquatic Gardens aquascaping toolkit. It's pricey (~$30),
but I've grown dependent on the long curved scissors and the long stemmed
tweezers. Also comes with a gravel rake which is handy, but not as essential
as the scissors/tweezers.

Save your money, and use some basic scissors, and your hands... not really
scientific, but there's not really a need, unless you get personal
satisfaction out of it, then by all means, go ahead...

Like kush, I grew my nails out a little and my thumb nails have become my
pruners.... they work great, just a little pinch and boom all gone...

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.

I guess I'll get myself a good nail clipper instead to keep my thumb nail
finely tuned

Is there a picture of it on the Net? I searched Google but can't find any of
these kits.
