Product Information

Dry your grass shears. After thoroughly cleaning your grass shears, be sure to dry them off to help prevent rust. Some buyers will use a strimmer to do that, but these can be quite messy. They will certainly remove the grass but it does go everywhere. That is why some buyers will use shears for the tidy up. You can of course buy hand shears to do this and they are usually a cheaper option.

This is good to look out for. Whilst cheaper shears can be tempting, untreated metal blades made from poor quality steel won’t cut as fluidly. You may find you’re having to work harder than you would if the blades were better quality. Even so, these are some of the best lawn edging shears on the market due to their quality and the results that they offer. In most gardens, they will work well to crisply neaten up grass edges – just make sure the weight will be manageable.

Speaking of comfort, there are plastic sleeves on the top sections of the handles to help with grip, making the shears easier to hold. This Edward Tools grass shear follows the same classic design used by the Corona, Q-yard, and Kings County Tools grass shears in this guide: a rolled-steel offset handle, riveted blades, and a spring-lever scissor action. We like the simplicity, comfort, and lightweight functionality of the design. This one is the lowest priced of the group. It performed well in testing, but we noticed that the rivets and control arm are not completely snug. The looseness allows for some play or rattle while cutting.

Lawn edging shears traditionally have long handles which allow them to be used from a standing position. However, if the handle is too short or too long, it could arguably be more uncomfortable than simply working kneeling down. While not all grass shears are built with identical purposes in mind, they all should cleanly slice through fresh grass and other fine herbaceous vegetation that a lawn mower leaves behind. Some of the more robust shears are built for multipurpose garden trimming, such as clipping stray shoots on a hedge or harvesting cut flowers and culinary herbs. For each tool, we considered the way it was marketed, what the manufacturer promises, and how a consumer may actually use and abuse it after the newness wears off. Each of our tested tools cleanly trimmed fresh and slightly dried grass and common lawn weeds (dandelion, clover, henbit, wild onion, etc.) all the way to the blade tip. Several exceeded expectations by pruning green and semi-ripe shoots on holly, boxwood, and juniper. FAQs

The tubular-steel handles are 90 cm long, and the tool measures 100 cm in total. Although they are some of the longest edging shears on the market, they may still be uncomfortable for those over 6 ft tall to use for extended periods.

Precision cutting, such as manual trimming, should not be attempted with tools heavier than 1 pound. Long-handled edging shears can vary dramatically in terms of how much they weigh.
