Well, i don't own one and you will understand later on why - but this video leaves a pretty good demonstration of the thing.



you can order the thing here:
Hand Operated Plant Trimmer & Pruner ::HandyTrimmer.com

BUT HOLD ON FOR A MOMENT! This baby comes with a whopping price tag - 460 Euro!! And there is nothing fancy here, from the material is this not even close to cost $20.

So this will be a great DIY project, any takers?

And miss out on all of those hours hunched over a table, snip, snip ssssnnipping away, I don't know.

That comes to $613.88 american greenbacks as of todays exchange rate. Nawwww, dont think so.

That is a very handy gadget but the price

Sure would be nice at harvest time.

That machine is awesome except for the price of course. The only other problem is that it knocks off a bunch of trichs in the spin, but you can eventually clean the machine just like you clean your scissors and reap a good amount of hash. So nothing is lost. For the practical grower with a few plants this is not necessary, but for someone with a lot, this will circumvent days of work and monotony.

I agree. Sorta the Zen of manicuring your harvest.

When you are looking at a large amount to trim this would be a dream come true.

heheh, well, you know... i still do it the old fashioned way... i always have.. and i love rolling the resin on my fingers and nails into tiny balls and adding them to the stash till its full of tiny dark stick finger hash... oh well, guess i still like doing some thing the old fashioned way. no matter how much i have ... and i hate having other people trim my buds as well, they never do it with as much care as i do... guess im a perfectionist when it come to what i smoke... hehehe
but i can understand why most people would love this machine.

im not in this business for the profit so it matters not how long i spend with scissors in my hand or the cramps in the fingers... if you think about it... for the amount of pot you have at the end of a season and the amount of work you actually put in... a day or two trimming buds is no big deal if you think of how much its actually worth!
