Most Helpful Reviews:
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.

Broke apart within a year until light load
|We purchased the 85258 Grass Shears from a Sears Hometown store using points. I hardly used them, except to occasionally trim some spots when I dont feel like using my weed whacker. I was just out using them and they fell apart in my hand, now completely unusable. I dont know if I can find the receipt but at this point cannot speak highly of quality. they did work good until this happened. Unfortunately, I had another Craftsman pair for 20 years that i gave away after buying this new one.
Sent Used
|Chipped, moldy and used! Really annoyed because I didn?t look at it when I received. For the first time today I grabbed them to use. So disappointed with Sears! How can you send me used product? That?s not right!
Great in the yard
