Grafting tools

• The grafting tool is a simple product, which will allow to make flawless grafts.
• The grafting tool can graft all kinds of plants, and is particularly well suited to grafting fruit trees.
• The clean cuts made by the tool allow to get a perfect graft, every time.
• The main features of the grafting tool are:
• Easy to use - Create precise grafts quickly.
• Trimming blades - prepare stock for grafting.
• Replaceable grafting blade - make sure you always get a clean cut.
• Use of high carbon steel blades - longer lasting strength.
• Quickly and easily create professional quality grafts.
• The clean cuts made by the grafting tool should allow to get a perfect fit, every time.
• This increases the likelihood of the graft 'taking', leading to much less wastage.
• The 2 in 1 tool contains both a pruner and grafting guillotine. This allows to first prepare the plants to be grafted, by trimming away excess leaves and twigs. Then using the special grafting guillotine one can make a perfect cut into the grafting stock.
• Ergonomic handles: The handle should be ergonomically designed for the operator.

Tools used for budding and grafting

• The different simple tools used are Dibber, Budding and grafting knives, Grafting Tools, Grafting Tape, Pruning and lopping shears
Dibber: Dibber are used to make holes in seed bed to plant seeds, seedlings and bulbs. They are ergonomically designed consisting of a stainless steel sharp dibber and a hard wood handle joined together using a ferrule. The sharp dibber glides effortlessly into all soils.
Grafting and Budding knives : Budding and grafting knives are designed specifically for these purposes and should not be used for carving and whittling wood. Using them for other purposes will make cutting edge blunt very quickly. Grafting and budding knives must be kept razor sharp so they will cut smoothly. They are available in either left or right-handed models. The blade is beveled on only one side, unlike conventional knives, which have blades that bevel on both sides down to the cutting edge.
Grafting Tools - Grafting tool is designed for making the cleft graft. It is used when the rootstock’s diameter is greater than 1 inch. The wedge-shaped blade is used to split the stock, and the flat pick opens the cleft so that scions can be inserted. Once in place, the flat pick is removed and the cleft comes together to hold the scions in position.
Grafting Tape - It can be used for many things. Grafting utilized as a cover/protecting bandage when using a splint for broken/cracked branches, twigs. It is also used to hold the soil and roots for the root over rock design of Bonsai styling.
Pruning and Lopping Shears : Pruning and Lopping Shears are the scissors or sliding blade type rather than the blade and anvil type. If use to harvest scion wood or bud sticks, blade and anvil pruner will crush plant tissue. As with knives, pruning and lopping shears should be kept razor sharp to give clean, close cuts.
