We often get the question about what the best aquarium scissors are. The honest answer to this is that there is no best aquarium scissors. This depends entirely on what you want to use the scissors for. Does that sound crazy? Not at all and we are going to explain that to you now.
There are many different scissors that you can use in aquariums and terrariums. The best-selling scissors in the Vorestic range are curved scissors, spring scissors and wave scissors. At first glance they look very similar and all can also be used for general use to maintain aquarium plants. However, they also have very specific applications.
SPRING SCISSORS
The spring scissors are the smallest scissors from Vorestic. They have a length of 16 centimeter and a curved tip. These scissors have 2 major advantages over the others.
- The small size makes it easy to maintain plants and grasses that are normally difficult to reach. Think, for example, of maintenance in a nano aquarium or hard-to-reach places in larger aquariums.
- Because the scissors automatically spring back, you can also work with them much more accurately. The spring scissors are therefore ideal if you want to trim grasses and mosses on the bottom surface, on aquarium driftwood or on stones.
The aquarium spring scissors are ideal scissors for every aquarium user. We even think this is an indispensable aquascaping tool for an aquascaper!
WAVE SCISSORS
The wave scissors from Vorestic have a length of 25 centimeters. It is particularly notable for its large curved shape that resembles a wave. Hence the name wave scissors. These aquarium scissors are particularly suitable for trimming larger surfaces of grasses and mosses. The wave shape allows you to place the scissors horizontally on the surface, while keeping your hand at the same time in a comfortable position for a longer period of time.
