This pair of tweezers is useful for removing weeds from around a bonsai tree. The tweezer can also be used to remove old pine needles from pine bonsai or unwanted growth on junipers.
The rake can be used when repotting, to detangle the roots and remove old soil.
Hi Terry, I have not used this yet, but I will so so in Spring when I will be repotting some of my trees. So far, I like the smooth finish and how light it feels. Best of all for me is that it is two tools in one, saving me a bit of money.
For a budget tool this is sufficient and effective and since I am a beginner I am happy with the purchase. I'm not sure whether the tweezer part on the handle will always be comfortable but I will continue to use it until I need to upgrade to two separate tools.
This tool is sturdy and excellent quality. Despite it's size you are able to pick out the smallest of items with the tweezer. I use it almost daily.
Never thought a rake/tweezer combo would be so handy. Works perfect for repotting as well as having to deal with the hard to each areas!
Perfect for someone new to bonsai or that doesnt want to use their fancy tools for all the hard work. Happy with the product
