Description
This complete aquascaping set consists of 5 stainless steel specialty tools with black powder coating:
Straight Scissors
- designed for trimming of new plants before they are planted in your aquarium (trimming down roots that are too long and/or cutting leaves that are dead/unhealthy as well as pruning of plants/leaves growing midwater and near the water surface.
Curved Scissors
- designed for pruning of carpeting plants and plants/leaves growing close to the ground, at a low angle, meaning your hand/palm holding the scissors can get relatively close to the bottom of the aquarium if needed.
Straight Tweezers
- designed for planting thinner and less bushy plants, as well as doing regular maintenance work, like picking up debris and planting root tablets deep into the substarte.
Curved Tweezers
- designed for planting thicker and more bushy plants, as well as doing regular maintenance work, like picking up debris.
Substrate Flattener
- designed to help smooth out unplanted surface areas in your aquarium. It can also become very useful when planting Anubias where only a thin layer of sand over its roots is needed, while keeping the rhizome exposed.

Curved Scissors Aren't Great
This 5-piece tool kit is overall decent. The tools seem reasonably well made and the case is good quality for the price. The tweezers have good pinch and are well-aligned unlike others I've seen and used. My only criticism comes from the curved scissors; they don't cut nearly as well as the straight scissors. The blades don't align very well and have a gap between them of about 0.2mm. It's small, but noticeable. They work, but require more effort and therefore aren't as sharp as I'd expect them to be. Overall though, it's a decent set of tools and makes a lot of aquascaping jobs easier than it would be without them.
