I had a older version of these shears - this is much better. To be able to swivel the blade is really useful on occasions and the mechanism works much better. However this is only suitable for grass, coarse grass is a bit too much and twigs are too much for it. Keep it to grass and it will work fine.

Could be designed better! Two things that could be improved ..... (1) it would help if the blades were at an angle to the operating handles so you don't have to drag your knuckles along the ground to use them for cutting grass, and (b) because one blade is fixed and one moves (instead of both moving like conventional shears) it keeps twisting your wrist to the left as you cut. OK, nitpicking you say, but usually Wilkinson gear is perfect, and these design flaws knock off a couple of stars for me - however, the actual build quality is extremely good.

No problem using it 1 handed and the blades are sharp and easy to clean. brilliant for cutting small areas and edging.

Really good value for money, didn't expect that much because of how cheap the item was, but very pleasantly surprised. I used it for the first time this weekend and it did not disappoint. I particularly like the fact the blades can be rotated instead of having to cut at awkward angles. If I had to be really picky and I mean really really picky, then the button that holds the blades closed is a little temperamental but once I got the hang of it, which was quite quickly then great. Would like to have a sleeve to cover the blade when not in use too but currently storing it in the jiffy envelope that it arrived in.

A reliable brand sure to get the job done beautifully. I used mine to cut the lawn edge and trimmed my small plants to give them a bushy looks.
