As with many hobbies there are many "specialist" tools which have been developed to carry out specific tasks. However, there are a small slection of basic bonsai tools which will cover most requirements. These include -
- trimming shears,
- concave branch cutter,
- spherical knob cutter,
- wire cutters
- root hook.
In some cases tools can be developed from other items. For example, a rake can be made by bending the tines of a dinner fork, or ordinary pliers can be used instead of jin pliers. The important thing is to match the tools to the type of bonsai work intended e.g. : small tools for small trees and larger tools for large trees.
