[6 Blades Enhanced] NAYE 2 in 1 Garden Grafting Tool Kit for Fruit Trees with Grafting Knife Grafting Tapes,Extra Replacement Blades Included,Professional Grafting Scissor Shear

This grafting tool made grafting prunings from one tree to root stock suckers from a "dead" tree stump easy and successful. The tool makes precision matching cuts that help align and hold the graft to the host like two puzzle pieces. The kit comes with several wrapping tapes of different thicknesses and stretch. We pruned from a "Good" tree in February, harvesting scion wood which we kept sealed and refrigerated until April when we grafted them onto root suckers coming up from a "dead" tree that had been cut to a stump. The suckers were the same diameter as the scion wood. The grafts took with a decent success rate of 60%. We will ultimately keep just the most vigorous of the new grafts to shape into a replacement tree, but were impressed by how well this kit worked. Prior attempts to free hand graft resulted in much poorer results.

I;m not seeing this in my product list for some reason. That doesn't happen often.To the point, this is super handy in the garden. I like the fairly durable carrying kit and the selection of tools. Excellent product. Handles peppers, squash, pruning tomatoes and fruit trees. Very handy. Much easier to use than carrying around a heavy toolbox.It took some effort to find it and write the review. Good prodct. Full 5 stars. Would order again. That means I highly recommend it, if u can find it

I'm new to grafting. I picked up two of the kits, one for me, and one for my brother. My brother occasionally grafts new scion wood onto his apples and pears for fun, and said the tool worked well and definitely would stop him from slicing himself again with his grafting knife, which has happened on chilly raw days.I used the grafting tool to in effect whip-graft graft a couple persimmons and twenty plum rootstocks ordered from a nursery using scion wood collected from several pluots and two gage plums. The tool works by producing nearly perfectly mirrored cuts in the rootstock and scion wood. The two pieces only fit together properly one way due to the cutting action, which makes the union quite good. The included grafting tape works great too and enough is included to make quite a large number of grafts. Now I need to wait and see how many of the 25 or so grafts I've made will take. I discovered when doing my research that plums aren't easy to whip graft. Oh well.One cautionary note: When making the cuts, the tool did occasionally crush rather than cut: this seems to be the result of the tool's position relative to the buds on the rootstock or scion wood I was using. You may not experience the problem. A half turn of the wood fixed the issue.How the tool could be improved: 1. The rotatable orange plastic "flower" that the cutter cuts into and which can be rotated to expose new surfaces is not easy to adjust--the included screwdriver is not up to the task. 2. The included instructions are minimal and appear on the box that the kit comes in. If you are new to grafting like I was, you will need more detailed instructions than the box provides. 3. The safety lock is a flimsy bit of plastic that isn't easy to use with cold fingers.A last tip: Note how the tool works before changing cutting plates. When you remove the installed plate, the alignment may shift and you will need to readjust it before a new plate can be put back in.

Works very well. Cuts pieces for a good graft.

I typically graft 50 - 100 apples each year, and am not very fast at it with a knife. I bought this hoping it would speed the job up.The blade wasn't exactly razor sharp out of the box, but cut passably the first few grafts. After a dozen or so, it was crushing and tearing more than cutting so I discontinued using it. Sharpening these blades is difficult, and I don't know where to buy replacements. There is an adjustment screw above the blade that on mine was locked in so tightly that I could not loosen it. This prevents me from using the tool as I think it was intended to be used. I had about 75% success rate on the grafts I used the V blade for, compared to roughly 90% success on the ones I did with my knife. (I strongly suspect most of the early grafts took, and the few done with the dull blade are the ones that failed) The omega blade did not cut well for me at all (it tore bark off of the bottom side of the cut) and the U blade made a graft that was hard to keep stable as I wrapped it.If you want to make a few grafts and don't want to use a knife, this tool might do the trick for you.If you have a lot of grafts to make and are looking for a tool that will save time, this is probably not the right tool for you.

I used this to graft apples this year - my first grafting experience. Most of my grafts took - it was beyond what I expected given my lack of experience and some obvious mistakes on my part. The knife is helpful around the garden in general. Experiment with the tapes to find the ones that work best for your application - I went through all of them before I found the one that worked best.

The grafting items are all in one handy kit so everything is together.

I am quite happy with this product. I found the knife very sharp and the cutting pliers did a nice job. I did have some trouble with the tape. It did not seem to be attracted to itself so made wrapping the graft a bit of an issue when doing field grafts. I think a rubber band would be better in that instance. I do recommend this product.
