Cuts great and doesn't hurt my hand like so many others do. I need it to get close to the house and around the trees and shrubs. It works wonderful for that. It could only work better if my husband would do the work for me. I will buy another one when this one wears out.

I bought these to replace a similar pair of Craftsman grass shears which had served me well for many years. Although they appear well-made and are comfortable to hold, they just don't do the job. One would think that with their 5" blades they would clip 5" of grass per clip. Not so. They cut an inch or so, and the rest of the grass simply bends over between the blades without being cut at all. They are simply unusable. I wish I had my old ones back.
