Fiskars Servo-System Grass Shears GS42, Anti-jam Servo-System mechanism, Length: 34.4 cm, Steel blades/Plastic handles, Black/Orange, GS42, 1000589

Love my fishers shears,got problem with my hands,but they make trimming easier,

If you want a strong pair of long scissors on a stick, buy these. If you want a violent set of hardy bush trimming garden shears - maybe not? These easily slice through grass, nettles, docks and young brambles with ease. Using a secateur type action which is easy on the hands. I can go trimming the unwanted plants while having a gentle stroll in the garden, carrying out maintenance and stopping things growing that I don't want. I find that's enough until grass or other plants overtake the thugs and suppress them. I can snip around the lawn where the dog likes to go, keeping grass short and mess easy to find and remove. The blades can be adjusted in angle so as to trim horizontal or vertical and all angles in between. They feel sturdy although they're beautifully lightweight and the blades make a lovely swoosh snip noise in use and in practice. I think they're great for what I wanted.

I bought these shears after reading many reviews so I generally understood the issues others had experienced. I wanted a single light weight single tool to trim the edge of my lawn at an affordable price. The shears are well made and typically innovative in design. They are very light so would be good for people who find heavier garden tools tiring to hold for long periods. The rotating head is easy to use and negate the need for two different tools which is good when storage is an issue. For safety sake the blade should be locked before attempting to turn it as they are very sharp. On the down side the blades are quite lightweight compared to the older traditional edge cutters which comes as a bit of a surprise at first. They have one fixed blade and another that moves across it. This means that to cut vertically you really need the fixed blade at the bottom in order to be able to guide it along. If it is held the opposite way the moving blade constantly bumps up and down on the ground making it difficult to get a good line. This comes with practice. The design allows for both left and right handed use. Cutting feels very much like cutting hair with a scissors, lots of small snips and soon you have the desired effect. If you are patient and accept that these shears are not the traditional heavy weights (so don't try and cut thick stems) they will do a good job, it just takes a little longer. If you can get these around £20 then you have a good deal.

Great easy to use

Never disappointed with fiskars Sharp, easy to use, great tool

Okay, if you can get them cheap it might be worth it. Pros, very light, action is easy and repeatable. The swivel head means it can do borders and hard to reach places, it's a lot more controllable than a strimmer. Cons, a lot of the blade length isn't usable, there is quite a gap nearest the shaft so it only works well need the tips. It can't cut big clumps of grass, lots of small snips is the way to go. The blades aren't the sharpest, if you are just looking to do edging, get some edging shears, if you need the flexibility consider these, but get them on sale I paid £32 which I still think is quite steep for what they are.

This was a replacement for the exact same model that I bought maybe 18 years ago that finally gave up the ghost. So far it appears to be just as good.£

I found it very flimsy and didn’t cut that well. The only reason I didn’t return it was because I had thrown the packaging away. I would recommend long handled shears for the job.

Coupe très bien et les ciseaux peuvent très facilement être tournés sur les côtés, afin de pouvoir couper dans toutes les positions. Cela reste des ciseaux, donc pour de la finition.

Schnelle Lieferung. Artikel ist wie beschrieben, gut handlich

Great product, I had an older model for years. It broke. I like it so much that I bought a replacement. The product has been totally reengineered but it seems to work just as well as the original.
