 Sharp, Comfortable, Good Battery Life April 11, 2006
Ethan A. Winning (Walnut Creek, CA)

When I lost the recharging unit to my B&D grass shear, I was already so dissatisfied that I decided to try the American Gardener 4-inch cordless. It's hard to believe that there can be such a big difference between two products. The American Gardener (AG)sheer is twice as sharp and twice as fast as the B&D. It will even cut through mondo grass and other tough stemmed plants. It is great for trimming spring growth from bushes, and even helped shape a tangelo tree and three privets.
The battery life - considering the speed - a remarkable 45-50 minutes and if that isn't tghe kicker, the AG is comfortable, lighter and seemingly more ergonomic than the B&D.
Even though there is no way to lock these shears (or any others) in an "on" position, it still deserves five stars. I'd give it more if I could liock it in an on position. Of course, I'd probably forget to turn it off and then they'd start calling me "Lefty."
 Blade & its housing are a problem June 28, 2005

This is quieter and lighter than the Black & Decker and it lasts longer on a single charge, but the blade wears out faster and the housing for the blade can easily be knocked out of kilter rendering it useless. I sent it back to mfg who fixed it but then the battery started going and it stopped working altogether. It worked well for the short time I had it but it became more trouble than it's worth. The Black & Decker is really not any better. These companies need to build a better grass shear!
Works great until blades go dull February 24, 2005

The battery out lasts the blade.
I used the shears about 8-10 times (40 minutes each time) when blade became dull and no longer usable on simple grass. I have tried to sharpen with little success.
Best shears I've found December 29, 2006

I've tried a lot of brands of shears over the years and these are the best I've found so far. They are powerful enough to tackle even coarse grass around the farm and keep their charge for a good 40-45 minutes. I even use them to clean up perennial beds in fall and spring.
Grass Shear March 10, 2006

This is a great shear, as most of them have a 3 inch wide cutting shear, while this one is 4 inches wide. It works great and I use it along the sidewalks and next to the driveway.
