Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can these be used to cut hedge branches?

No, these are specifically designed for grass and lawn edging. Using them on woody stems may damage the blades.

How do I sharpen the blades?

Use a sharpening stone or a professional file, following the existing factory-set bevel of the blade.

Are the handles adjustable?

No, the handles are fixed in length to provide stability and durability.

Do I need to oil the shears?

Yes, periodic oiling of the pivot point and blades helps prevent corrosion and ensures smooth operation.

Are these suitable for left-handed users?

The symmetrical design allows for comfortable use by both left-handed and right-handed gardeners.

Troubleshooting

Blades are folding the grass instead of cutting it

The pivot bolt may be too loose. Tighten the central nut slightly to ensure the blades make firm contact.

Resistance when trying to close the blades

Check for debris or sap build-up between the blades. Clean with solvent and apply a light coat of oil.

Pros and Cons

  • Sturdy construction for long-term durability
  • Balanced weight distribution reduces fatigue
  • Reliable performance from a well-established brand

  • Manual operation can be tiring for large lawn areas

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These shears arrive fully assembled and ready for immediate use. No complex setup or tool adjustments are required. To ensure longevity, clean the blades with a damp cloth after each use to remove sap and grass residue. Periodically coat the blades with a light machine oil to prevent rust and ensure the pivot action remains smooth. Store the shears in a dry, covered area to protect the steel from moisture-related corrosion. Periodically check the central tension bolt to ensure the blades remain tight against each other for optimal cutting efficiency.
