 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.

I am a new owner of a Model GS48 four inch grass clipper. This is a superb piece of equipment that makes trimming around my three and one half acre lawn a pleasant piece of cake. It does have a serious design flaw designed into it that should be addressed however.
It was a 60 mile trip for me to buy it then two more trips to fix it. (180 miles) The pivot pin for the blades does not have adequate depth to secure the retaining pin in place securely. While I was on my maiden voyage, I stalled it accidently on a twig and it stopped cutting grass. I went to the manual and found that a list of materials does not exist in it. I finally opened it up and found the retaining ring stuck in the grease. At the time I guessed that a pivot pin was missing. I took a strong magnet and retraced my tracks. I finally found the pin and reassembled it. It worked fine again until I hit another stick and the unit failed again. This time the retaining pin was lost and I had to do the magnet thing again. Replacing the retaining ring conept did not solve the problem and I decided to purchase a beefier ring. This time I inserted the pivot pin from the inside out with thought in mind that if it came apart again, at least the pivot pin would not be lost. So far I have some stick hits but the assembly stayed together.
This design flaw is a serious quality problem and should have never happened. A simple short meeting with with the staff would have revealed the problem and the solution would have been an easy fix.
I am surprised that there is no way that a customer can contact the people who are responsible for this problem. Dealing with a service group is no insurance that the top officer of the company will receive this information. This problem is a combination Engineering, Purchasing and Quality responsibility.

This is the third time I bought this product. The first had a battery life of 45 minutes, the second a battery life of 30 minutes, and the third only lasts 15 minutes. This product has gone from good to junk.

I purchased a pair of these shears last month after my Black & Decker ones wouldn't charge so I could use them for the season. I first thought I could do without something like this, but found that wasn't true. I chose these instead of another Black and Decker, because I liked the idea of a wider cut and more power. So far, I have been well pleased with the performance of these shears, and the ease with which they handle going around and up close to things where even a weed eater won't go. This is actually my 3rd pair of those type shears, so I'm really sold on them being a necessity in the yard especially if you have such areas where a weed eater type won't go and do a neat job. These shears do that, and as mentioned, so far, I am very well pleased with their performance.

This cordless grass shear makes it easy to trim around flowers and shrubbery, as well as walls and borders. It does hold its charge without losing cutting power for at least the 30 minute stretches that I have used it. Do be careful to clear away stones and small,fallen tree limbs to avoid the blades coming into contact with them, which could bend them.
I like the ease and convenience not dragging out a power cord, and cleanup is a breeze.
