Sorry for third post in a row, but have separate question on my tools choice:
I don't have any specialised bonsai tools yet. Only high grade felco general pruner.
I wan't to buy some good japanese ones (are RYUGA tools ok?).
For a start I was thinking as follows:

- angled convex branch cutter
- root rake
- some twig shears/leaf shears
- safe, rounded wire cutter
- 3 different aluminium wires - maybe 1,2,3 mm (or 1.5 2.5 3.5)
how much should I take? 3-5 meters each or more? or less?

Thank You for all replies!

Ryuga tools are excellent. The wire comes in 500g rolls which is the most economical way of buying. The sizes will depend on what branches are to be wired, Kaizen bonsai are good priced, for wire.

Thank You.
My other local supplier has also full range of KOYO tools.
Is anyone familiar with them? Their assortment looks impressive.
