Wilkinson Sword Lawn shears 1111137WF Long Handled

Product Information

Choose shears with long blades of at least 21 cm for large gardens; this way you won’t spend all day edging the lawn. Shorter, 17 – 21cm blades will work well for smaller gardens. However, you should also pay attention to the depth of your verges.

Please note that the right to return goods which are not faulty does not apply to any goods which have been made to your own specifications. Another excellent feature of Fiskars servo system edging shears is the ability to rotate the blades 360 degrees so you can always get the angle that you need. You can also adjust the angle of the blades in relation to the handle so that it runs straight down and not perpendicular. This would be helpful for trimming some particularly tight spots. Alexander & James Buoyant Upholstery Celebrity Downtown Ercol G Plan Parker Knoll Sherborne Stressless Wood Bros All Brands The tubular steel handles felt strong and sturdy, more so than I expected for the low price, but the angle of the grips and handles themselves gave me the same trouble as the Bahco after a while- tired wrist and forearm muscles. I know this is unavoidable for the most part, and your arms and wrists will always get tired when using shears for a long time, but these started causing me problems a little faster than some of the other edging shears we tested. 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.

My initial reaction on pulling these Bahco edging shears out of the box was ‘those blades look good’, which is a good start for any cutting tool review.

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. The handles move smoothly, with a crisp cutting motion, and don’t catch or bounce when they come together. The cutting is performed by two 9 inch long blades constructed from heat treated carbon steel which is a material that is easier to get an extremely sharp edge on than stainless steel and so makes it great for cutting.
