FiskarsGrass Shears, Long Handle, 36" Handle Lawn Shears for Trimming Grass while Standing, Lawn Cutter with 360-Degree Swivel Blade

This is going to make cutting weeds and grass in tight places much easier. There are some places where you don't want weeds, but you can't use a trimmer and don't want to use a herbicide.The hyping of 360 degrees of rotation is just plain wrong. It's actually 180 degrees. It says 180 all over the instructions. 360 would be useless anyway. I knew that before buying, so it wasn't a surprise..I used it already in one flower bed. Works great so far.Added note: Wear gloves, leather if you have them. I didn't get a blister, but I could feel my index finger getting a hot spot, so I put on my gloves.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I invented this in my head and then looked for it and VOILA!! Works really great and you can even turn the blades to a different angle... HIGHLY RECOMMEND perfect packaging, was not damaged (saw some reviews that said it came damaged, mine came perfect)

After pulling weeds for way too long I just wanted something simple for snipping weeds off at the base so I could maintain things between more serious gardening sessions. These work really well for that purpose.They don't have much of a point so it's hard to use the tips to cut anything, and the handle is very uncomfortable. It's a hollow plastic shell instead of a solid molded handle which is cheap but makes using it awkward. If you have a very large garden you might get a little fatigued using it.Other than that it works well. You can't use it to cut through anything particularly tough or thick, but for weeds and grasses it's fine. The rotation feature works well and it is easy to get the blades in the orientation you want.Some of the reviews said it feels flimsy, and I think it does too. There's a balance between being cheap and being lightweight and this tool is more on the cheap side. It doesn't feel like it has the Fiskars level of quality one would expect. But it's fully functional for what it is, if you intend to use it for lightweight cutting.If you are a tall person I don't think this helps avoiding having to bend forward at the waist given the length, but it's certainly makes trimming things down easier than with any other hand held tool.

Just received the item today. Was really excited to try it when I saw it. It was fun. My concerns from other reviews was its weight and amount of physical effort that would be required by my hands. I held it with both hands. I did not have a problem. It cut well for all the tall weeds and will help me to get the edges my manual mower can’t. It cut bunches of grass but a little less gracefully- like cutting large stacks of paper with scissors. I was also worried if the height would be tall enough. I did not have to stoop. (I am 60-65 inches tall.) I appreciate the thought that went into inventing this item. It is easy to use, not intimidating, and will be easy to clean and sharpen the blades. My only frustration is a lack of a storage case to cover the blades and securely store it in the garage. Other than that, yay to the end of landscaping machines!

Easy to use, blades sharp, cuts well, adjusts easily. Takes the weight off of stooping!! A must have if you have any back issues. Gives you control back. Great purchase!!

Fiskar is usually a very durable and good scissor for household use, but these Fiskar grass shears are not durable enough or strong enough for cutting or trimming Korean grass which is a very thick and invasive grass, not like the grass in a normal yard. Compared to my household scissors (which I am using now in place of the grass shears), the blades do not glide together smoothly, and, in fact, they sometimes even lock up. These are probably good for regular grass, but my warning to everyone: they are not good on Korean grass. Also, just for further info, the Fiskar household scissors state on the blade "USA"; whereas these grass shears have no recognition as to where the were manufactured. Your guess is as good as mine.

Talk about making a chore easier. We use these to cut around the backside of our pool. If we use a weed cutter, then the grass and dirt go all into the pool. I got into the pool and could easily use these cutters, both left and right-handed cutting enabled. Would recommend. The only drawback to these is that now you have no excuse not to trim things correctly.

Very easy to squeeze; very sharp. Love these shears.
