Bonsai Tool 10-piece Set

I have been practicing the art of bonsai for over 25 years and encouraged many to take up bonsai. This is an excellent starter tool set that will be useful for any beginner. It has everything they need to begin the great adventure.

I knew when I ordered these that they were cheap knock offs of the really fancy, really expensive, Japanese tools. I figured for 60 bucks it was worth a shot, and I am glad I took the chance.

Pros:
1. Affordable for entry level into the hobby. Plant material can be costly, tools can be costly, etc. This affordable kit has enough in it to keep a beginner working for a long time. For less than the price of one tool from the high end. For bonsai you need 3 things: Concave cutters, Wire cutters, and scissors of some sort, a root rake/pick is nice but a chopstick or skewer will work for this in a pinch. And the concave cutters are semi negotiable depending on your tree. All 3 are here.
2. Relatively decent quality on the tools that are important (see above)
3. Ordered with super saver shipping and got it a day or two before earliest estimate.

Cons
1. The biggest set of scissors is very stiff. I tried lubrication and that didn't help, it's just a stiff joint.
2. 3 pairs of scissors seems a little extreme. I styled a new tree the day after I got these, and literally 2 of the 3 sets of scissors are unused.
3. This one is the biggest one, the wire cutter is almost worthless for bonsai. It is a scissor type wire cutter and for bonsai you really need a cutter that the blades butt into each other (think bolt cutters). The scissor style cutters have a tendency to bend wire as it cuts. When taking wire off of a tree that can lead to real bad scarring to your branches that will take well over a year to grow out.

Overall I'm giving these a 4/5. The tools I needed are in good working order but some of the other stuff is junky. The tools I didn't "need" are a nice addition. If I had purchaed (for example) a high end concave cutter it would in no way improve my tree or bonsai skills but I would have paid more for that 1 tool than for this whole set. If I had to go back and make the choice, I would definitely order again

Two thumbs up June 17, 2009
Oriental touch LCC was quick and caring. I didn't open until a couple weeks after receiving the box. Noticed I only gotten 9 of 10 pieces. Contacted Oriental touch and was amazed at the quick response. No hassle or problems was sent the missing piece in a few days. The 10 piece set is great and affordable for beginners.

Poor Construction
The quality was notably less than I would have expected from a set of Japanese tools. Since I didn't pay much for them, I wasn't too upset about this. Read more
