Hello all,
It looks like Im a little late to this party but I'll make my contribution anyway.
First things first, Ralph, I know Roy too, and he convinced me to use the Lysol as well. Ha Ha.
I digress, the tool I use the most and get the most flack from is a pair of electricians shears, their cheap ($10.00-$13.00), they're very sharp ( I haven't had to resharpen a pair yet), their just big enough that you can keep them in your hands while working on a tree and the main tool body is chrome plated, however the inner blade portion is not.
I have a pair that has the inner blade portion rusted, bad, I use those to cut screen and wire off my trees.
In all the time I have used them I have never chipped a blade or flaked the chrome.
I usually use either Ideal or Klien shears, I like the Klein brand better, but they're not always available, apparently they are popular in my area.
I usually only use "bonsai" tools when I go into public.
