New Tools?

Hi all.
Just wanted some opinions on my first set of tools to buy. I have seen a set that look kinda ok but are very cheap considering what you get. Take into consideration that I only have a few trees, and will only ever have a few because of space, so tools really dont get used a great deal, hence why i dont want to spend over the odds on them. What are your opinions on these tools, and do the 'more expensive' ones make a lot of difference other than lasting longer
Cheers in advance.
Adam
Oh and by the way. These tools are £35. Dont know what that is in dollars though!!!

This looks like a good starter set to me. Add a pair of chopsticks and a tweezer and you should be good to go for at least a couple years.

Be sure not to inadvertently cut any wire with the cutters or stones with the scissors. Use a different pair of shears on your roots. Tools don't hold up well to that environment (especially inexpensive ones)

Regards,

Matt

Ok cheers m8. Just wanted to check with someone who has some experience before I went ahead and ordered. I think they will be just fine for the amount of work I do to my trees.
Cheers
