Rain Smaller SODP-1127-UK89

These shears are absolutely amazing! This is the only pair, out of several I've purchased over the past few months. that I haven't had to return. All the others were flawed in some major way! Finally, I've found the keepers here! They're high quality and actually work! Sharp stainless steel shears well-designed to carry out their intended purpose... trim grass. These shears from Kings County Tools give a nice straight, clean-cut edge to any area of grass. This pair is easy to use and the rotating handle offers a whole new level of mobility and maneuverability. A simple turn clockwise or counterclockwise allows the option of approaching the trim from either side/angle. Another thing is that the shears are a nice light design, very sturdy but not at all bulky or too heavy to hold (even with arthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome). I love these KCT grass shears... 5 Stars all the way! Also great customer service reflecting a company that stands by their product. They allow for returns, follow up after order arrives to obtain feedback and are quick to respond. I highly recommend this product and will also be checking out their other tools! Thank you!

Excellent quality! Very sharp, works well!

Rugged. Sharp. Versatile. Fit for purpose. Should last a lifetime. These are not the economy-grade weak-wristed "clippers" found in box-store garden sections. These are heavier, with thick, sharp blades. The handles are thick and rugged with a positive shearing action. In use, I can snip tiny bites in close, or take large slashing bites for fast clearing, at any angle. Very satisfying results. Tip: use two fingers (one from each side) to slide the blade lock button. These fit my larger male hands just fine; I suspect my smaller wife's smaller hands might tire easily. So I'm stuck with the clipping chores, but--for me--these shears make the job easier and faster. Well worth the price.

I grow quite a few veggies and herbs in my basement. Some of the herbs, such as lemon and winter thyme, Greek, Italian, and Spicy oregano, and marjoram grow very large and need to be occasionally trimmed back to promote new growth and to keep the plants healthy. I have a large hedge trimmer that I use most of the trimming and shaping of the plants, but can't use these to cut out the dead undergrowth of the plants and finish shaping. Growth under the umbrella of the plants usually dies off due to lack of light. If left, the dead leaves and branches can cause fungal problems. Until I found this set of grass shears, I was using old sewing scissors to trim out the dead branches. This set of shears makes the job so much easier and quicker. 1) These shears are very sharp and cut through the undergrowth will little effort. 2) The angle of the blades can be easily changed making easy and more comfortable to trim undergrowth or to shape the plant. 3) I am a 5' 2" 75 year old woman that has no problem using this shears with one hand. 4) The stems I cut with these are soft and not woody. I have a different cutter for larger and woody stems. UPDATE 08/15/22: I have a large 10 gallon pot full of garlic chives. If you have ever grown chives, you know that in time the older leaves turn brown. This makes it difficult to use them since you have to pull out the brown leaves from what you plan to use. Every now and then, you have to cut the chives back to about 2 inches from the soil. I used this shears to cut back my garlic chives and it took no time at all. These chives grow so fast, I will have a lot of useable garlic chives to use with 2 weeks. I added a picture of my chives after I cut them back. I hope this review was helpful for you.

It does the job, however, the tip cover is missing when I received the package.
