Our Top Five Picks: Best Manual Grass Shears for 2017 If you’re after a cordless grass trimmer but still prefer having everything automated, we’ve selected some of the best cordless electric trimmers and reviewed them. Oh, and don’t forget the electric models! These are good for getting into very difficult places. The second type are, again, essentially long-handle shears but with blades that do not bend at the base (similar in design to lopping shears). Personally, I think that the wheels are surplus to requirement and can very often be a hindrance when trying to get to those troublesome spots.
The first is essentially a long-handle pair of shears with wheels attached (as shown in the picture above). Other Variations: There are two variations on the models listed above that I’m aware of. Most hand-held shears, and some long-handle models, have rotating blades, so that they can be used either vertically or horizontally. The shears in the picture on the left are edging shears. They usually replicate the design of long-handed grass shears with the key difference that the blade is vertical in order to enable edging. Most have a slightly slanted handle with the idea being that it makes it easier to get the shears into difficult-to-reach areas under hedges and in flowerbeds.Įdging Shears: Edging shears can have either long or short handles. Long-Handle Shears: Long-handle shears use the same blades as hand shears but the long handle means that they can be used standing up. The blades tend to be slightly curved and relatively thin when compared to garden shears and secateurs. They usually include a spring mechanism which automatically opens the blades after they have been closed (unlike garden shears). As is evident from the name, they are hand-held and smaller than traditional “garden shears”, used for trimming and shaping hedges and shrubs, and larger than “pruning shears” or secateurs, which are used for cutting individual branches. Hand shears: These are the most common type of grass shears. As far as manual shears are concerned, there are three basic model variations you can choose from, along with a few adaptations.
Shears are shears, right? Well, as with most gardening tools there’s a little bit more than meets the eye.
