Bonsai Care
Bonsai care is a more delicate process than an average house plant. Most important to remember is watering, fertilizing, & location!
Concave Cutter
An imperative tool for any bonsai enthusiast. Cuts branches that are flush to the trunk. Minimizes damage to the tree, leading to rapid recovery time. Due to the closeness of the snip, it is almost untraceable afterwards, making the hole blend with the rest.
Jin Pliers
Made with short, powerful jaws. Aids in placing or dismantling the wire from the bonsai plant. Another thing jin pliers can be used for is stripping the bark of the tree. This is done for visual appeal to create a deadwood/aging effect on the trunk.
Trimming Shear
Fits into tight spaces, allowing for precise defoliation. These are meant to help trim and thin out the plant, without damaging any tender shoots or blossoms, while still reaching the desired part of the plant you want to take off.
Trunk Splitter
Splits trunk in order to strengthen it. Typically, the trunk is separated into two pieces and then held together with wire. This tool makes it easier to manipulate the shape of the tree and branches.
Root Pick
Break through the soil while leaving the roots unharmed. The sharp point is great for carving down into the soil. Its smooth and round sides are perfect for the safety of the roots while removing the soil around them.
Pruning Shear
Great for the removal of the branches as well as the leaves on the plant. Mainly used for pruning the top of the plant and the roots. The wide grip of the handle allows for the shears to do this with larger parts of the plant.
Root Rake
Help remove and replant bonsai. Loosen roots with the rake to make it easier to dislodge. Use the flat edge to pack soil between the roots for stability.
Heavy Duty Trimming Shear
Great for trimming the tree so branches and leaves grow more evenly. The removal of outgrown parts maintains its size and shape, while also encouraging new growth.
Knob Cutter
Hollows out incisions made by a branch cutter. Also known as "knuckle cutter," it is known for its spherical-shaped blades. Its design allows for its user to work it like a chisel in order to gouge out excess plant matter.
Leaf Cutter
This is used for the removal of unwanted leaves or buds. Induced growth where dead leaves are snipped. Small and easy to maneuver for quick defoliation.
Root Cutter
Cuts through thick root with minimal damage. The steel blades are meant for severing the denser wood fibers commonly found in roots. Its flat cut can also be used to split the trunk, if so desired.

Very useful tool, at least as good as other similar sets that are much more expensive. Great for the beginner or expert.

The quality of the shears has much to be desired for. You get what you paid for: low price, low quality.The shears had some rust already. They were not easy to use because of rustiness. If you want replacement shears, do not buy this kit. Buy the shears individually, and look for Japanese quality. You will notice the quality right away.

Overall really worth it, the root pick and metal rake are very good quality and seem very durable. haven't used the smaller rake yet but the scissors and brush both also came in handy and worked well, I've already used these products on a few of my trees. As i am still a beginner i feel this tool kit worked with my demands and helped me to be better equipped for the hobby.

I have a large outside container garden that gets weeds from the lawn mower blowing seeds and such into the pots. I needed something to help me weed those pots and I found this set. It is quite nice.The small, metal rake is exactly what I wanted. The tines are sharp enough, and the handle is the right size and easy to grasp. I even turn the tool upside down and use the handle to dig/pry little roots up sometimes. It fits handily in my pots and in my hand.The other tool would be good if I were still doing bonsai, but I haven't used it yet. The handle is sturdy.The little bamboo rake is smile-producing and I'm thinking of gluing a pinback to it and using it as jewelry. It is ornamental and cute only - not functional.The metal tools appear to be carbon steel and so therefore need to be cleaned off after use and would benefit from being lightly wiped down with an oily rag too.Carbon steel rusts like mad; there are NOT stainless steel. The design makes them easy to clean. No big deal. I like quality tools and these count as quality tools.I think the quality is just fine and have no problem recommending them.

The product is what it is, a great starting point for beginners. I am starting my bonsai hobby now (Jan 2017), so paying a couple of hundreds of dollars on a set of tools seems stupid. Maybe in a few years time when I am better at this.The scissor is a bit stiff, I haven't oiled or used it yet though.The wood rake is nice but it will surely break. (Maybe a stiff paint brush/small broom from a home improvement store will work)The straw broom is nice but a big paint brush will work as well.The two items that is essential in Bonsai are the root rake and root pick. Haven't used it yet but they looked pretty sturdy.In the future, I will probably buy a big paint brush buy a couple cheap small scissors.

I purchased this as part of a birthday gift for my adult grandson. He loved it so I am happy. These tools are actually of a much higher quality than I had expected from some of the negative reviews. The scissors and the two other metal tools are of a substantial weight and feel good in the hand. They seem as if they would be comfortable to use. The other two tools are also nicely made. These were very reasonably priced and I would buy them again. Thinking of getting a set for myself. Definitely would recommend.

This basic tool kit contains almost all the essential tools you will need as a novice or beginning bonsai rancher. The one tool it does not contain that might be needed is a "concave cutter." which I found on Amazon offered in tandem with another standard cutter. The tools all appear to be of good quality, sturdy and rustic. I have used some of them in planting my bonsai and they performed well. They feel sturdy and heavy or substantial in my hand, which I always like in my tools. I would recommend this set for the novice.
