PHALANX Cordless Grass Shears 2-in-1 Handheld Hedge Trimmer,7.2V Electric Grass Trimmer Turnable Handle, Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery and Charger Included for Lawn/Garden

I use it for grass around my planters. I don’t like the weed eater because of damage. Batter has long life.

I moved into the house about five months ago and I’m trying to keep down expenses as it’s costing me way way more than I ever imagined. Mowing the lawn myself manually and twice I used scissors to trim the borders because my lawn isn’t that big. The second time I must’ve had moisturized hands or something because it took the skin off in two places. Then I tried finishing it with my other hand, and it took some skin off. That’s when I decided I was going to buy one of these for sure. There are several versions/sellers, and for some reason this struck me as the most well-made looking. You can change the angle on this one which I don’t remember seeing with the other trimmers. I charged it when I first bought it which seemed to take a while and then left it for several weeks. I just used it for the first time and even going around twice to check, it has plenty of power. Reading all the cautions about the blades I put gloves on which I didn’t need but I wasn’t familiar with it. Let me tell you, this thing is a powerhouse! It mowed right down without hesitation, and the one time I got something slightly stuck it stopped, and then started again. it will stay in cutting mode without you having to keep your finger on the trigger whether it’s supposed to or not lol I even tackled the thicker grass that grows at angles that’s not really easy to cut well with the mower….more than impressed! I kind of let it glide around the edge and the second round I spot trimmed and put it down at an angle towards the border to cut that even shorter. You can cut anything on your grass. Just be careful cause it will cut as low as you go. The thing that slides back-and-forth to lock, it does not work very well and you can hear a slight click, but it’s not obviously in place so be careful! Seriously one of the best things I’ve bought! I have not tried the hedge trimmer yet though, and I will update when I do.

This tool is smaller but gets the job done! It is incredibly easy to switch out the blades and use the tool. The only reason I gave it four stars rather than five is because I wish there was more power to it. While it’s great for the majority or shrub/bush trimming, it does get caught in thicker branches.

For small yard jobs, it’s perfect. It’s rechargeable, so obviously not super powerful but easy to use and very functional for trimming grass as piddling around the yard with small hedges and trimmings. I’m very pleased with this purchase. My son would probably want a much more powerful yard tool but for me, super-happy with this purchase. Light-weight and useful.

I literally have used this trimmer on anything I could set my eyes on. It is easy to use, simple to switch out blade heads, and it cuts great! I have recently started doing my own yard work, and this tool makes me feel like I have wasted my money on hiring professionals in the past. If you attempt to cut something too large it will stop, and you will need to clean the blades. Also holds a great charge.

It worked great last summer when new but this spring it will not chargeI only got to use it a few times.

I purchased this trimmer to cut excess grass as well as to trim the shrub in front of my townhouse. It performed quite well for both of those jobs. But, then I decided to try to cut back some decorative spider grass in one of my planting beds, which was left by the previous owner. Here again, it went through that job like a hot knife through butter. Before first using, I charged it completely until the red charging light went out. I didn't have to charge it again until I was almost completely finished with everything. My son and daughter-in-law were also quite impressed with this trimmer, as I am. It would be nice to have a longer handle so I don't have to bend down all the time but, I'll make do. Highly recommend!!

Dislike willy only trim off top lightly. Will not cut anything big difference. Hurry when working 30 minutes your charge is done tops 35 minutes. Power very little.Like changing blades easy, fast.
