Description

Spring scissors are aquascaping scissors with a built-in spring. We found no reference work that covers them, so this page repeats the specifications from two Amazon listings with about a hundred ratings each and leaves the sellers' promises out. VORESTIC's aquascaping scissors are 6.3 inches long, about 16 cm, and the listing refers to them as curved scissors. It describes a built-in spring mechanism that springs back into place automatically, ready for the next trim, a serrated handle, and high-grade stainless steel that resists corrosion. The scissors come with a felt bag and a protective cap, which the seller says keep them free of dirt and damage and protect you from cuts when they are not in use. LINLAN lists its aquatic plant spring scissors in 420J2 stainless steel. The seller says 420J2 offers higher hardness and better cutting durability than the frequently used 304 stainless steel. LINLAN says the scissors reach stem bases easily and cut sensitive plants accurately, and aims them at low-light planted tanks with ferns, Microsorum pteropus and moss. They come in curved and straight versions: according to the seller, curved suits most situations, including shaping plants and caring for foreground mats, while straight is better for cutting thicker plants and takes less effort.
