    I really appreciate that this video didn’t feel like an ad. You gave us a lot of good information about which tools were the most useful and that we could even do good work with garden center and hardware store tools! This video made me realize I don’t care for my tools the way I probably should to make them last. I would like a video on tool maintenance.

    Now this is the sort of video i can enjoy my morning tea with Darren. informative with a touch of slick editing and humour. I hadn't realised that important difference between carbon and stainless. It's funny how we all agonise over the same tool lists on amazon! My best tool is actually my carbon steel root shears. They stay sharp and I tend to use them for a lot of fine branch pruning because I can keep that edge honed...now I know why. I bet your toold have created some great desert island bonsai 😉

    I’d love some Wazakura scissors. I too have found carbon steel bonsai tools are more durable in the long run. But admit I have stainless steel ones, and had often had more. My big thing is comfort in the hands. It has to be comfortable, especially when having to tend to more than a handful of bonsai.
