A very practical tool

Three years ago, I did this.







It was a test.

Then, there was an evolution.

It was better,












But ...

It has still evolved,

Here is in what it serves me.

Good deal!

Very ingenious Toshe

Tanks John, thanks Will.

I have a lot of satsuki and the branches break like of the glass.
To hold a tree at the end of arm asks for a lot of force and endurance.
That's when we have more force than this becomes dangerous.
this system allows to work a tree in complete safety and we can keep the two hands free.
He supports without problem the weight of the big trees.
He can also be useful for shohin and of course, it's possible to work all varieties of trees, not only azaleas.
That's why I created this system.

I confirm it's a very good tool.
I use it for all my trees (the bigest but not only them) with a lot of facility and simplicity.
Thank's Toche !!

Hi my friend Bonsaiolo.
Thank you for the photo.

Great minds unite from all around the world !
Taken from a 2004 issue of satsuki kenkyû.

Best wishes for the new year.

Thank you Alain, I swear that I had never seen that and I have a little bit the impression to be a copier.

No need to swear

Something I like with handtools is the way there are adapted to any particular use.
The example of this particular tool is a good illustration of tools perfectly fit to their functions and thus very similar despite being independantly invented.

Thanks Alain, I did not want to show these last photos, but here is in what I had a good time with my first tests.
