 what a disappointment May 26, 2002
Patricia O'Tuama (Illinois)
22 out of 23 found this review helpful
I had such high hopes for this edger but have been very disappointed with it. To begin with it's heavy and somewhat bulky making it difficult to operate. Secondly, unless you position the blades at a particular angle, it doesn't cut grass very well. Thirdly, although this would be ideal for someone who wants to develop his/her triceps, it's a pain to operate for any length of time. Even my husband found it tiring and painful to use. It would be better if it had a wheel at the base so you could roll it along while cutting grass.
 The continuing search for grass trimmers August 7, 2001

A while back I attended a lecture at an old house nearby. While poking around the property we spied some ingenious looking trimmers that were mounted on wheels. The perfect thing for edging lawns! When I saw these long handled shears in This Old House magazine they looked to be the closest thing (albeit without wheels). They are light and well balanced. The blades seem to cut nicely and I like the fact that the blade lock is easily located on the top. The blades are rather short, so you have to make lots and lots of cuts to edge a bed. Naturally, this leads to a very tired hand. The shears are easy to use in either hand, although I am pretty ambidextrous so it may just be me. I have found that something of a scythe movement enables me to cut through grass somewhat easier and quicker. I have an aversion to gas powered weed wackers as they are noisy and smelly. They are far more effective than these shears which I was hoping would not be the case. All in all, if I had just a small area to edge, these shears would be great. For a large lawn or many flower beds, they just don't "cut it."
 A Convenient Garden Tool August 16, 2000

The Fiskars 92107935 Long Handle Swivel Grass Shears is a wonderful tool that makes gardening more enjoyable. Traditional gardening/grass shears force one to labor away on ones hands and knees. However with Fiskars innovative tool, bending down to use shears is eliminated. The grass shears are further desirable due to its cutting heads rotational ability. The head is able to turn a full 180 degrees. This enables wider cutting surface and precise trimming! Although this tool is more expensive than the traditional grass shears, the cost disparity is easily made up in its convenience. If you are in the market for garden shears and are concernced for the well-being of your back, I strongly recommend this novel, innovative tool!
Such a good idea is just not solid enough October 5, 2001

I like the idea behind the tool. It's light enough to work for an hour or better without too much strain. The adjustable angle works well and has enough settings to be practical for a number of uses. However, I found that the metal on the blades is too soft and nicks too easily, which, due to the cutting angle, causes the shears to hang up and fail to cut.
