I originally was just looking for a cordless grass shear to trim the grass adjacent to my wife's prized flower beds. I made the mistake of trying this with my string trimmer and turned her flowers into salad. After looking at the available grass shears, I decided on the Americam Gardener Clip and Shear because it included a blade to trim shrubs and NiMH batteries for [a little more] than a grass shear alone.

I have not been disappointed. This tool runs for over an hour on a charge. In fact, I'm not sure just how long it runs because I've never been able to run it all the way down. I can cut the grass right down to the dirt and it never slows down. It only takes about 2 seconds to change it from a grass shear to a shrub clipper making it real easy to keep the bushes around our house trimmed up on a regular basis. It also comes with stainless steel blades so I'm not worried about them rusting, and its charging stand mounts on the wall in my garage so it's always handy.

My wife's flower beds have never looked so good. I would highly recommend this clipper for anyone needing to trim areas where a string trimmer might do damage.

This is poorly made and poorly put together. At certain angles, the blades catch on themselves and jam -- not a safe situation and certainly not useful. This lasted about 10 minutes at our house and then it went back with a new understanding at why the price is so low...

Is not contructed for serious use. It lasted about five minutes in use. Too many plastic/nylon parts to be used in other that very small grass areas. No weeds.

Bought one.......used only on grass twice.......it stopped working so I exhanged it for another which was used only on grass once or twice before it quit. In both cases, something inside the shears seems to have broken, preventing the smaller "trimmer" nylon gear from turning the larger gear on the cutting blades (the smaller gear just whirls without any effect).

This Clip & Shear Shrub Clipper is a fantastic product. The blades are interchangeable and really easy to change. The battery life is good also. I use it to trim my herb's, shrubs, flowers and small bushes. I really like it.

clipper housing does not hold working parts in, I have had two units and both have the same defect. Very poor quality control by the manufacturing co.

This lawn trimmer has met our needs well for two and a half years now. We purchased the optional handle/extender that allows me to stand up while trimming the grass. Each fall I use the hedge blades to trim our bushes, and they have also performed well. Now into the third season, the battery only lasts about half as long as it did when new. It is convenient simply hanging the trimmers on the wall into the charging stand (which also holds the hedge trimmer blade). We've had no problems with jambs or slipping gears. The trimmer has held up well. (If I can get a replacement battery quickly, I'll be very satisfied.)

Very little power, has difficulty with thick grass. In short, this product is only slightly faster than pulling out each individual blade of grass by hand. I bought it for close trimming work around a PVC fence. I haven't yet tried the shrub clipper attachment, but if the unit can't power the grass blade I don't have much hope. A sharp pair of manual grass clippers is a better bet.

I am an avid gardener and have tried about everything imaginable. I love this product! Light weight and so convenient to grab and go! Keep the products coming!

I FORGOT ALL ABOUT THIS ITEM WHICH I PURCHASED A FEW YEARS AGO. I FORGOT ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT DIDN'T DO MUCH CUTTING AND THE BATT DID NOT HOLD IT'S CHARGE. I THOUGHT I EMAILED AMAZON BUT DIDN'T GET A RESONSE. BOTTOM LINE, DON'T BUY THIS.
