Spear & Jackson 4867RS Razorsharp Lawn Shears, blue & silver

I have grass to trim that where do not want to use a string trimmer. My options to date was 1) use a long pruning sheer, or 2) getting down on my knees with a hand sheer. Option #1 worked, except he grass was trimmed at an angle. Option #2 was just a pain. Finally found this item. I can now stand up and trim the grass at ground level. I am 5-9. Works great, but tool takes a bit of getting used to. The blade is off-set from the handle about 45 degrees. The handle is about 3 ft long. I am trimming heavy Bermuda grass and this has no issues. A nice side benefit is that I can open the blades slightly and use the tool to pick up items at ground level.Note: due to the awkward shape of the tool, the Amazon delivery box was huge

I'm 60 years young. My back and knees are not quite the condition they were. These shears are well designed and made for cutting weeds & bushes. Delivered by the postman this afternoon in a gigantic box. Immediately, I took it out to the backyard for a test drive. I used it for 35 minutes and I cut the weeds without the need of bending down or stooping down. I am pretty happy with the tool that it seems to be pretty well made. I like the aluminum handles that are relatively strong but light.There are 2 things that kept the review from a perfect 5: (1) the blade seems to be grinding more than I like when especially when cutting near the tip even though it came well oiled; (2) the item came scratched and appeared to be used as the blade looked dirty with debris on them.

If you are trying to find alternatives to gasoline-powered lawn tools, these shears can help replace small jobs that would be completed by a weed wacker. The blades are sharp and the joint moves freely. The arms are long enough for an average height adult to use without bending over (though you might find a tendency to want to bend over). These will not replace a weed wacker for larger jobs. If you have a property larger than a half acre or you have a lot of feature in your grass that can't be mowed, this may not be to tool for you. If you have a small lawn and are willing to take your time in exchange for a cheap, quiet experience, this is a good tool for the garage.

Works great and easier on the back

Very nice and well-made long handled grass and weed trimmer. More precise than string trimmer. Can be tiring to use as most of the weight is out ahead of your shoulders. But much lighter than a string trimmer.Caution: blades are very sharp. They appear to be steel, not stainless steel, so may be prone to rusting. Store indoors and wipe a little light oil (WD-40 or similar) on blades occasionally.Will cat all grasses and smaller weeds.Recommended.

They do cut grass well but the blades could be heftier. They flex and make a snapping noise unless you close them very slowly. Happy so far.

I just got it & tried it out right away. It's overly expensive by about $15 but it is made of heavy solid materials. Usually anything for grass clipping has blades with a pretty weak grasp. This 1 took care of the grass and the small saplings growing under the bushes too. Looks and acts like it will last a few years & do the task for which I bought it:)

I was annoyed with the way the item was shipped. The box was 3 times larger than the item, costing me more in shipping & duty fees than the actual item cost to purchase. I do not understand why it way shipped in such a large box.
