Performance drop After 1st use September 12, 2007 A. Wilson (MD, USA) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Pros: Quiet, great idea. Cons: the blades quickly become dull & the handle control becomes difficult to squeeze. I did not expect to have to search for new shears after 2.5 mths. I only use them 2x's a mth and perform very light trimming on about 8ft X 10ft perimeter. It is not worth the price. At this rate, I wouldn't pay more than $5 or would have invested in a diff. product. I am certainly dissapointed.

I used it twice before the blades quit moving and there is no way to fix it. It worked fine-for as long as it worked. I'll not be buying anything else from this particular company if this is an example of the products they make and sell. This is a first disapointment in a purchase from Amazon and I hope it's the last. Pass this up and buy from a more reputable manufacturer, not this companyFiskars Long Handled Swivel Grass Shears #92107935
Less than expected September 20, 2007 Willis J. Brookins Jr. 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
With my type of grass, this pair of shears wasn't very effective. The grass slipped between the blades and had to be operated several time to do the job. Sorry I purchased them.

This was just what I wanted and expected. It is well made and does the trick. Easy to use.
I'd improve on the concept...... May 28, 2008 jersey girl (New Jersey, USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
These shears are okay for a person who has only light trimming to do. As others have stated it doesn't do well in thick grass. The swivel head on mine is rather loose and doesn't click into it's angle strongly enough to hold at that angle. In my opinion these shears could be greatly improved is they (a) added wheels on them and (b) they could be adjusted to a 45 degree angle, where the handle meets the clippers, as the angle they have it set at causes one to have to hold the bar so far out in front of you that it makes it ungainly to handle. On the plus side they are quiet, quite light for their size, and the blades are very sharp. I'm looking into purchasing an American Gardner cordless trimmer to pair up with the extra American Gardner extension handle which does, indeed, have a set of wheels on it.
