Thanks for asking this.
I have only carbon and I've had them about 5 years. My root hooks are stainless.
I want a roll bag to put them in.
Now I'm looking at tools again thanks a lot.
:D

Your "net bonsai wanker" or Japanese pliers don't have that notch to hold the wire do they?

Yeah the cutter is broke...still works.
Gotta Tighten the screw on the scissors.

$1.25 and a walk down the alley!

Ha ha! Just realized what your new avatar is. At first glance, I thought it was a tiki.

If you can grip the wire firmly, and spin the pliers around in your hand, they would work just fine.

These are my pliers right there. Sturdy as hell and so damned handy.
