Professional Grafting Tool

E***c

After an extensive series of trials with just a knife, I discovered the ‘V’ notch works better than most other methods for apple. But you can cut yourself repeatedly with a knife, even if the tip is dull and flat (grafter’s knife). It came with two other shaped blades, including a “v” and a rounded “v” beside the “omega” and is perfect for rapid bench grafting as it has a spring open. But the extra money here seems more than worth the worry. The handle comes with a handy closing feature for storage that I haven’t seen before on other ‘spring open’ hand tools. Would like to see that more often. The blades are made of 1-inch bandsaw blade stock, so presumably, they could be made in any machine shop and in any shape! It doesn’t get any better than that! This IS the same technology used to make jigsaw puzzles, so if you have a jigsaw puzzle maker nearby the shape might be customized.

I’m having a good time practicing pruning and grafting a lemon tree and lime tree at my brother’s house. The lemons and limes at his house don’t have seeds and they have so much juice. I have been looking for a way to duplicate them on youtube and there are many ways to do it. But the highest rate to duplicate them is using the right tool to do it – per professional Youtuber recommendations. This toolset has every that needed for grafting and makes grafting a job look so easy, can’t be more simple. I can either cut the branches with Ω or U or V shape. All these three work well. The shear is great for cutting small branches but not a big one. I don’t measure the size when I cut. I just see if the shear can fit the branches, I cut them.

Tree and plant grafting is my new hobby and experiment. I’m getting practice before I take this on a mission trip to Nicaragua. This tool worked right out of the case without me consulting the instructions. My son and I have made a total of 12-15 grafts and we’re waiting to see if they take. The tool, however, works and makes a clean cut. Note that the cut has to be reversed on the one branch so that it slips into the other (inverted V into a V). It is a great tool for grafting branches the size a little thicker than a pencil and less. Grafting onto larger branches requires a knife and different techniques. It works!

So I have not used this yet since it is winter, but I am excited about using this. My husband will be the main person using this using until he teaches me about grafting. This kit is really good because it appears to include everything you need and the cutters are really well made from what I can see from playing around with them so far. They seem pretty easy to use, and I think I would be able to learn how to do it correctly by just watching some videos online. I am really looking forward to gardening this spring and summer with this tool as it will really enhance my garden.

A nice set that get your tree grafting endeavor to start right. It has everything you need. I used to do the cut the branch and cion by knife but begin to use this grafting tool for safety and higher probability of having successful grafts. Once u get the matching size for branch and cion, this tool will help get a matching cut that would make the cion fits nicely. Not to mention that this will be faster too. If you are looking into grafting, this is a good set for you. If you are a more seasoned tree grafter, this would allow you to do it safer then using grafting knife, and would make your grafts healed nicely and looking good too. I mainly do grafts for cherimoya and atemoya.

Easy to use. Made better than expected. Not the greatest but will do the job.

The box came in good condition which I was happy about : ) I am going to keep the box as it has printed instructions on what you need to know for whip grafting. I was using grafting knife at first but It turned out to be hard work since I had wasted quite a few woods before a successful cut. This grafting tool is working great especially for a novice at grafting. It takes only a few seconds to make a perfect cut. The important thing of whip graft is matching the diameter of your scion with the diameter of your rootstock. So basically you just visually select the right size of grafting woods beforehand and leave the cutting work to this grafting pruner.
