FERRAMENTS AND BONSAI ACCESSORIES
The durability of the tools depends on the material used, the quality control in which they are produced, the maintenance and use that is given to them.
The resistance of the Tools depends on the alloy and steel used, and the high quality carbon steel and stainless steel are more resistant to those of iron.
The resistance to rust depends on the % of Chromium that is part of the steel alloy, and in the Stainless Steel Tools this percentage is higher which completely prevents the appearance of rust.
The different dimensions of the Tools are related to the type of work to be done, and size of the plant, not with the user's hand.

GENERAL RULES OF US AND CONSERVATION
Regularly clean your tools by removing any type of rust or dirt, there are for effect "cleaning blocks" that allow to do without causing damage or wear.
a
a
When storing them for long periods, lubricate them after cleaning ideally with camellia oil or a specific lubricant.
Always cut the branches gradually, avoiding to force the grips too much, however bigger and better a tool is and cut, if forced will deform the area of the laminas or the handles.
Do not cut other materials (such as plastic, paper, wire) with the tools.
Do not use electrical equipment to sharpen them, use "amolar" stones of own fine grain for Bonsai (tools and accessories Bonsai)
a
To avoid disease transmission, between different plants disinfects the tools with alcohol or specific equivalent product.
Avoid falls, given the rigidity of the tools when falling to the ground are easily broken, or damage the tips.
When a tool starts cutting badly by deformation and cannot correct it should be replaced.

THE RIGHT TOOL FOR EVERY JOB
Small Handle Scissor/Final Pie
Voted for apical branching maintenance pruning and "finos" branches. The short handles and long laminas allow you to make precise cuts and easily enter the inside of the cup, removing small branches.
Tesoura Medium / Medium Poda
The angle of the handles and the possibility of placing more fingers, allows the cutting of branches of larger size than the thin scissors, still serves for maintenance pruning of fine branches.
Big Catch Scisor / Gross Poda / Roots
Provides placement of multiple fingers to exert more pressure. Ideal for pruning roots, thicker branches and small leaf plant prunings where we prun several legates simultaneously.
Scissors Cut Arame-Apicais
They are used to after crushing and modeling the tips of the branches, simultaneously cutting the wire and the rama.
0
Side Cutting Pliers
Its "obliquote" cutting form allows you to easily prun and remove branches by placing your hand at an angle that facilitates the perfect cutting.
There is a model, with narrower tips and grips for pruning Shohin (small-dimensional bonsai).
Cocave Cutting Pliers
The cutting form allows after the total suppression of thick branching, to create a clean concavity in the trunk that facilitates healing and improves the aesthetic result of it.
It is also sometimes used to "discarnate" wood from branches in which and intends to make Jin (Wood Dead).
0
Side Cutting Pliers Round
It is possible when cutting branches, that the final cut becomes very slightly concave, allowing in some cases the use of a single tool.
Root Cutting Pliers
The cutting angle and form of "blanking" (stress instead of overlapping as in all other tools), as well as the coarseness of the cutting zone, allow the cutting of roots without "concavity", which stimulates the emission of roots in the cutting zone rather than the "close" by healing as occurs with the cutting of the Concavo pliers.
Arame cutter
This is the only tool to cut aluminum wire (or copper for Bonsai), do not use to cut iron. The round tip facilitates the removal of the Bonsai wires without hurting the bark of the tree.
Pliers Racha Troncos
With a straight cutting angle and sides that thicken a lot, this pliers provokes the "raching" of the branches, allowing them to be "squattered" to have a natural form of Jin (Wood Dead).
p
Pliers Jin
It is used to "bring" the branches to make Jin (Wood Dead), be pulling, be tightening laterally in order to remove the bark from the branch. It is also very useful in laying and removing wires and in the "anchorage" of the wires in the transplant. There are models of "straight head" or "lateral".
p
Defoliation
The self-opening system of the blades facilitates the defoliation and pruning of apicais ("Metsumi-pinçagem").
thePainter
Gather in a single tool two useful features, the "Metsumi-pinçagem" clamp and to remove weeds, and the scarifier to unfold the roots in the transplant.
Clamp-Espatula
Gather in a single tool two useful features, the clamp for "Metsumi-pinçagem" and to remove weeds, and the spatula to remove the torus from the vessels and press the earth in the post transplant.
Espátula
Gather in a single tool two useful features, the scarifier to unfold the roots in the transplant, and the spatula to remove the torus from the vessels and press the earth in the post transplant.
Jin Brushes
There are in different materials (Nilon, pork bristles or brass), they serve to clean up logs and "Red woods" (in Jin, Shari and Uros), and are still useful in removing and cleaning shells.
It has different sizes and shapes, of rights to cylindrical or even conical curves.
