Customer Reviews:

best pair of hedge shears I ever had [Posted on 2007-08-02]
They cut quickly and easy therefore I look for things to cut. Im not easly impressed but these are great. thanks

DO NOT BUY [Posted on 2008-05-05]
The blades are made of aluminum! ! Mine bent at the edge so that the blades hang on each other and the scissors won't close... after five cuts...! I own a pair of Fiskars loppers that have a titanium cutting blade and they are excellent but this thing is a dud.
By the way I finnished the job with my 30 years old hedge trimmers that have never once been sharpened and have to be oiled every time I use them because they are rusted to the point of being siezed every year when I use them for the first time.

Blades damaged after 10 minutes [Posted on 2008-05-07]
Like another review the blades on these shears hung up on each other after 10 minutes of use. I bought this model at Home Depot thinking it would last me forever. I live in a new home and my shrubs are very small but were needing some minor trimming. I was using these shears for about 10 minutes and all of a sudden they would not close all the way. I thought maybe a small branch was caught in them. When I looked at the blades there was a slight groove/nick on each blade and they were biting each other. As another review wrote, the blades are too soft or something. I took them back to Home Depot (having just bought them like 30 minutes earlier) and got the cheaper Fiskars shears. I finished the job with the cheaper shears with no problem.

Lifetime Warranty but didn't last more than a few bushes [Posted on 2008-05-09]
We bought this product because we heard it was a solid company. I used it the day we got it, was clipping some bushes along our house and the blades bit into each other and rendered itself useless. It would not close beyond where the two blades gouged into each other. I filed it down so I could use it again but it does not cut the same. I am in the process of exercising the warranty.

Other than that happening, it cut very well while it lasted, better than most any I have used in the past. I would buy it again because of the warranty and how it performs while in working order.

A bummer of a shear [Posted on 2008-06-19]
I have just tried these shears and hit a dead branch which put a nick in the blades and now won't work. Don't buy these shears!
