Wilkinson Sword Lawn shears 1111137WF Long Handled

Product Information

The shears weigh 1.48 kg, which is ‘midweight’ for this style of tool – there are lighter models available, but lightness can compromise durability. For the most part, these Wilkinson Sword shears are considered a manageable weight, although more rests may need to be taken depending on mobility and arm strength.

Just about everything about these edging shears shouts good build quality, from the handles, to the grips, to the blades, but that quality comes at a cost and that cost is manoeuvrability. Fiskars LifeStyle 113310 Long-Handled Edging Shear with 100 cm Handle have looked after me for a long time This makes them comfortable to manoeuvre and use for prolonged periods; plus, on top of this, they have the addition of non-slip handles for better grip. As a result of these three factors, they’re some of the best edging shears in terms of comfort, particularly for taller gardeners who may have to stoop a lot when using other models. Confusingly, there are similar products with very similar names from this brand, the only difference is the word ‘steel’ added between the Razorsharp and edging shears. If you’re looking to cut the tops of your grass, in places where perhaps the mower can’t reach, you’ll want lawn shears. If you want to sort out the edges of your lawn, go for lawn edging shears. You can’t easily use one type of tool for both tasks.The tops of the handles are coated with rubber, which provides good grip and control over the tool. If you want to avoid using electric edgers, but don’t want to spend more money than necessary on a pair of shears, these are a good option to consider. This product comes with a 12 month ‘no quibble’ guarantee from the makers, which is very good considering the low price of these edging shears. The first advantage that these edging shears have over their sibling, is that instead of steel, the handles are made from aluminium. In our opinion aluminium is a superior material because it is lighter, doesn’t rust, and doesn’t corrode. At just over 1 kg, you can wield these edging shears all day without worrying about any aches and strains creeping up on you. If you would prefer to have reasonably light shears, that are still robust, you should consider models that weight between 1 – 1.5 kg. There are also lighter shears available on the market, but they may not be as robust or durable. What Type of Blade to Look Out For

Choosing the best lawn edging shears will depend on your height, budget and garden. The following information should help give you more of an idea what to look out for.

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. The handles move smoothly, with a crisp cutting motion, and don’t catch or bounce when they come together.

However, carbon steel blades to blunt faster so you do need to keep on top of maintenance to keep them cutting optimally. You will also have to oil them from time to time too as carbon steel isn’t as rust and corrosion resistant as aluminium or stainless steel. Telescopic edging shears are great because they take the guesswork out of what is the right length for you. It also means that they can be used effectively and comfortably by different people. When buying telescopic edging shears, it is my advice to always go for the premium models as very cheap ones will no doubt cause you problems. Blade material – the quality of the steel Some edging shears have self-sharpening blades. The angle at which the blades work produces a small amount of friction, which means the blades sharpen with every cut.
