I was unable to attach the american gardener to the extension handle. Consequently, the plug arrangement became squewed and the extension handle is unusable. Without ever having used the extension handle it had to be discarded.

I HAD TO GO THRU TWO HANDLES TO REALIZE THAT THEY DON'T WORK.
WHEN I PLUG IN THE EXTENSION HANDLE TO THE GRASS SHEARS, THE SHEARS DON'T WORK. WHEN I DISCONNECT THE HANDLE FROM THE SHEARS, THE SHEARS WORK PERFECT. THERE SEEMS TO BE NO "CONTACT" OF POWER TO THE SHEARS FROM THE HANDLE. IT LOOKS GOOD IN THE PICTURE. YOU NEED IT TO WORK GOOD IN THE REAL WORLD.

Defective product shorted out shears May 13, 2007

I've been very happy with the grass shears and bought the extension handle DESPITE the poor reviews it was receiving. Unfortunately, I ordered it in winter and didn't actually unpack until spring, too late to return it to Amazon. The power connector was visibly misshapen and I have to straighten it out to get it to plug into the shears. I was rewarded with shears that worked. For about two minutes. Then the freshly charged shears stopped running, even without the handle. Since they will no longer take a charge or show ANY sign of life, I have to conclude the defective handle shorted out the shears. So, in addition to wasting money on the handle, I now have to buy another pair of shears. Major bummer.
Poor quality, flimsy, does not function December 4, 2006

I read the poor reviews and decided to order this extension handle anyway. I should not have done so, as the unit is really junk. It is extremely flimsy, and the switch does not activate the grass shear. There is intermittent contact, but it's clear the problem is with the handle, not the operator or the grass shear. Save yourself a problem, and don't bother with this extension handle. I'll be returning it to Amazon later today. The grass shear that does with the handle has been working well so far, so the poor quality of this extension handle is disappointing. American Gardener should be ashamed of selling such a poor quality product.
