I just used my new Fiskar Softtouch Swivel grass shears for the first time, and I am extremely pleased with them. They are very sharp and cut through the thickest grass and weeds. I even edged the sidewalk with them leaving a smooth, clean edge. I have retired my weedwacker forever!

I got these after the kids lost my older fiskar grass shears which was shorter and all metal handle. Forget these, if I could return them I would. Don't get fooled by the longer handle and blade. It looks comfortable to work in your hands, but it is not. Your hands will get tired very fast and to top it off, the tip of these blades do not close properly at all. I was quite surprise at the poor quality of closing completely. Unlike the lost older fiskar grass shears that they use to make or is hard to find online or in stores now a days. This new one is truly disappointing to use, even with the swivel feature.

does not operate properly. the blades do not close all the way. a defective product but amazon's return policy is so convoluted that i can't waste my time trying to return it for the cost of the item.

Save your time and money by avoiding these shears. Mine fell apart the first time I tried to use them. Poor materials. Poor assembly. At one time Fiskars would not have marketed this garbage, now it is anything for a buck.

The blades spread apart while you are trying to cut, can barely cut one piece of grass at a time... Mostly made of plastic... Stay away..

The first pair of shears I received weren't working properly, but I called the 800 number of the package and was immediately sent another pair--and they work great. I particularly like the long blade and the ability for the blade to swivel.

Our shears worked well enough, for a time this summer. They they broke in half. Not very sturdy, I'd say.

I am left handed and found these shears to be on average as good/bad as the pair of 10 year old shears I purchased the Friskars to replace. They work better if I use my right hand, but I still have to hold the grass tightly with one hand and shear with the other or the grass gets clogged in the crotch of the two blades. Using my left hand they get clogged more often than not.

These shears are very handy. The swivel is so smart. They are great for trimming around large pots in the yard - comfortable to use and strong, too.

For some reason, when you squeeze the handle closed to cut, they bind-up and and don't re-open fully. Very frustrating. . . as it took me 15 minutes to edge 4 foot of grass. . . don't waste your time, money on these! Lee/ Phoenix Arizona
