Fruit Thinning Needle Nose Pruners

General Fruit Growing
#1

I’m looking at getting a pair of needle nose pruners for thinning fruit (and other light duty) and I’m wondering which tools others use and like. @mamuang I recall in one of the thinning threads that you have some ARS. Do you know which model? Are they hand comfortable? I truly love my ARS regular pruners so am leaning towards those. But I see Felco 310s appear to be smaller 7" vs 8" maybe, and am wondering if they might be better for my somewhat small hands. Right now I’m using some rough old cheap Fiskars just because I have them. It’s time to get something better. Sue

Sue,
I do not own any ARS tool. I wish I did.
@alan owns one, I believe.

@mamuang - Maybe I was just dreaming for you! It was somewhere in the long thinning thread but if someone does have a pair hopefully they will respond here.

@alan - Thanks - I hadn’t seen those responses, and they didn’t come up in my search, but I probably wasn’t searching for the right words.

That’s actually the other purpose I use them for.
