What Aquascaping tools do you use?

these are my tweezers, and i have a pair of curved sissors that are similar to the longer pair.

thats it!

I use normal scissors to cut any dead/dieing plants. I also use a paint brush too tidy up substrate. Of course the number one tool for everyone is their eyes. It would be hard to have a good looking aquascape without your vision right?

This guy.. xD Lol I use a normal pair of scissors and a lame pair of old scissors and a credit card to level the substrate. I wish I had enough money for expensive tools though.

I got this very reasonably priced set: http://www.utopiatools.com/Deluxe-Professional-Aquarium-Tool-Kits-p/utpraqua10001.htm
The scissors are the only ones I use regularly, but they work so much better than normal scissors and are totally worth it.

I got the deluxe set, and I only use 3 of the 6 typically, but I like having options and it's pretty much 6 for the price of 2 bought individually. I LOVE THE ZIP CASE... I am notorious for losing tools!

Jeez, doesn't anyone just use their hands like in the good ole' days?

Nice. My girl friend bought me that same kit and it has kept my arms dry and my tanks clean. I too enjoy the zipper case. If you put a couple of silica packets in the case you will never get rusty equipment (something we have to worry about in Hawaii with all of the sea air + humidity).

Here are the tools in my arsenal (not my pics btw)...

Best scissors to date imho... after using these, my straight and curved scissors have been basically made redundant, unless for cutting larger stemmed plants...


A Curved and Straight pair of these...


And two pairs of tweezers... one with a much pointier end for planting carpeted plants...
