Harvest More Scissor Scrubber (165/Cs)

Very happy with it. Works great

As soon as I received it, I pulled out and replaced the inner brush assemblies very easily and smoothly, contrary to some of the negative reviews. I think they just weren't pulling hard enough -- is a tight fit on purpose.At harvest, I filled it with alcohol, set it next to me, released the spring to open the jaws on one of my trimmers, and stuck the trimmers, blade first, into the box all of the way up to the handle. Then I do the rest of my preparation, remove the now-sanitized trimmer, place the next trimmer into the box, and start trimming. When the trimmer I'm using gets sticky, I swap it out with the pair in the box. I move it vigorously up and down, twisting a bit, and moving it up and down for about 3-5 seconds. Then I immediately go back to trimming until I have to repeat the swap again, until I finish. Huge time saver.When the lid is closed, this box is quite good at keeping the alcohol from evaporating quickly. It will evaporate over time, so don't store it for too long or it might get gummed-up when the alcohol evaporates. That's an easy fix with alcohol, but it's messy and a pain that can be avoided by cleaning it out after each harvest while the alcohol is still holding the sticky mess in suspension. I've had a staggered harvest over four weekends and have kept this box filled the whole time. Each week, I have used, or it has evaporated about a third of the alcohol that was in there. At the end of my harvest, I'll do a thorough cleaning -- it is an easy clean-out: Dump out the alcohol, rinse with water, and let dry before reassembly. As others have pointed out, the lid does not form an impermeable barrier. When the box contains alcohol, it must be kept upright or it will spill. Close it fully when not in use to slow the evaporation.The box is very stable. I've only had a tip-over spill once and it was because I bumped the trimmers currently sticking out. The alcohol didn't come pouring out, but I did lose some during the second it was on its side. (it was so little I just let it evaporate). Cleaning, pulling, and inserting the trimmers is a two-handed job, unless the box is otherwise affixed to something. I hold the box with one hand while I do any of those things with my other hand.This is a must-have for every harvest. It saves so much time because I don't have stop to clean the trimmers. Swap-out is fast.

I read both positive & negative reviews, initially looking for trends in the negative reviews. From there I go to the positive reviews and see if anyone repeated any of the negative issues or countered them.This was one of those products where a few of the issues were repeated, but to me it seemed that people didn't research what they were purchasing. Based on the dimensions of the scrubber box and the images of the shears inside of it, I think many simply had larger/heavier sheers.This product works perfectly fine for me - my shears don't cause the box to fall over, the bristles inside clean my shears perfectly fine, and yes, while it is a cheap plastic box with bristles - that was exactly what I wanted. I didn't want to spend a lot of money on something meant only for me to shove my gardening shears into to disinfect and clean them.The product works as intended - you just need to know what you intend to do with it.

Great little cleaner. Works fast and simple to use . Can clean my scissors in as little as 90sec and right back to trimming with no cleanup time. None.It's great

This sped up the trimming process immensely. Work with 2 pair of scissors, keep one in the cleaner and just swap them out whenever you need to.This is a "must have" item if you trim by hand.
