About this deal

There are a few important things to know when thinking about buying this type of product. Many people buy these without really thinking it through. The vast majority of UK people will use a lawnmower to cut their lawns. They are then left with small areas of their lawn that still need tidying up. To get the best performance from your long-handle grass shears, you need to keep them sharp. For most homeowners, this is something that only needs to be done once each year. When sharpening your grass shears, keep these tips in mind.

Enter: lawn edging shears. Capable of taking your lawn from an 8 to a 10, they trim and neaten the grass at the edge of your lawn to produce a crisp finish. As with all gardening tools, proper cleaning and care keep manual grass shears performing their best and lasting a long time. Sap can build up on the blades, which inhibits proper opening and closing; this problem is easily solved by wiping the blades with an oily rag. Handle Long-handle grass shears are an environmentally kind option as they require no gasoline or electricity to operate. What are long-handle grass shears? The handles on long-handle grass shears are typically made out of aluminium or steel. Steel is the tougher material and is the material you should consider for heavier-duty use. Aluminium is lighter and the material of choice for people who are looking for a tool that is less fatiguing to use. Swivel headIf the total handle length is over 100 cm, the shears will be more appropriate for taller users, those who are approximately 5’10” (178 cm) or above. It’s also possible to get shears with a telescopic handle, but don’t instantly presume that these will definitely be longer than standard shears. A lot of telescopic shears still only extend to around 100 cm. If you’re tall, and you want to avoid stooping, take some time to compare different shears on the market. This is the best way to make sure to find shears that are comfortable. For proper wrist alignment and reduced strain, these topping grass shears from Q-yard help gardeners clip grass at an ergonomically correct angle. Suitable for trimming grass along the edges of flowerbeds and driveways, or topping areas of the lawn, these professional-grade shears offer a lightweight and comfortable option. In terms of performance, the 20.5 cm blade, made from forged manganese steel, results in a sharp cut and is easy to use to neaten lawn edges. The tension of the blades is adjustable, using a screw head positioned where the blades join.

At 1.9 kg, the P75 Edging Shears are verging on the heavier side of lawn edgers. They are not especially light, although this helps give them a robust feel, and will need a fair amount of strength to use for a prolonged time.Weighing 2.4 kg, these shears are a little heavier than many others on the market and require reasonable upper-body strength to use. They also need to be used on edges that have quite a deep gully, due to the depth of the blades, and will be more difficult to use on shallow edges. Topping shears have horizontal blades, resembling scissors with blades that are on sideways. This style trims down the grass to a particular height so it’s flush with the rest of the lawn, clipping areas the mower might have missed. Topping shears with adjustable features simplify cutting in areas where the lawn sits at an angle. In length, these shears measure 95 cm and have lacquered, hardwood handles that are relatively easy to hold onto. They have no grips added onto them, so wearing rubberised gardening gloves will help.
