The use of aluminum means these shears are light weight in poundage, but not in cutting ability. The shears are easy to lift for trimming bushes like camellias since they don't weigh much. The blades are sharp. The follow up, via e-mail from Tabor Tools, to make sure you're a satisfied customer is exceptional. Tabor Tools provided a guide for best times to prune, as well as how to keep the shears sharp and maintained for years. These guides are greatly appreciated.

These hedge shears are well-built and strong, yet light and easy to use. These are some of the best hedge shears I have ever used, and I have used quite a few different makes and models. The blades are set accurately in the handle and hold a sharp edge a long time. Great value.

I have used these shears for about 15 minutes today after receiving them on time. The product photo is not accurate in that the blades are narrower tan depicted which is good as the picture makes the shears look bulky and difficult to handle, which they were not. The blades come in a plastic sheath which will protect them. The blades also have several curves along the cutting edge which I was glad to see because that helps in cutting larger branches. The handles did not accidentally extend as one reviewer wrote and seem sufficiently locked in place unless you turn them with moderate force. The shears seem solid and I have confidence that if I apply a lot of force to cutting a branch, they will not break as have happened to one pair in the past. Lastly, a couple of days after buying the shears, I received an email from the company thanking me and sent me an article about shearing and asking for feedback. That attentiveness by the company suggests to me that if I had trouble with this product that they would be responsive. So far, I am very pleased.

I absolutely love these!!! I'm a landscape maintenance pro and these I used to cut back ornamental grasses (so far) and they made the work a breeze. I've used electric hedge trimmers in the past but couldn't get a clean smooth cut. I've used small single hand trimmers but they take way too long. These are great and the trick is to get at the cutting level, slide the shears in to cut a single smooth cut, don't try to take off too much at once! Then simply slide over to your next cut. Do not chop!!! Let the tool do the work and it's easy-peasy! Just slow and steady and the result is fantastic. I wish I had bought these years ago. If you are on the fence and do this work for a living, buy these and you will be much more efficient with a superior quality of work, and will spend a heck of a lot less time doing the work.

Hands down, the best tool I've bought for myself in EONS! I'd been getting by with ancient, dull loppers - I don't even know from whence they came - and one day I said to myself, "just buy yourself a decent pair of loppers". These had the best reviews, and for good reason. Firstly, the blades are sharp. I'm not used to that. Also, a long slim blade which cuts a lot at once. They aren't too heavy, easy enough for me and I'm a 67 yr. old female. The best thing about them though (besides the fact that they chop thru a lot of stuff easily) is the ease of lengthening the handles. Whoever designed these did it soooo right. You just grip the handle ends, turn outward and it telescopes. Then, you turn turn inwards and it smoothly locks into place. Smooth, easy, NO frustration. It didn't even come with instructions (no need) because it's so flawlessly designed. My only problem is the urge to turn into Edward Scissorhands with these and over prune all my shrubbery. It makes pruning fun and satisfying again.

Two things: (1) This tool does everything I expect of a quality hedge shear and my standards are high. I've been using True Friends (FRUEND-VICTORIA® Gartengerate GmbH) at four times the price for thirty plus years but I think I've found a new favorite. (2) Most of the criticisms I noted in reading reviews were in the nature of expecting this tool to do another tools job. It's a hedge shear, it doesn't do many of the things people complained of because it's not supposed to do those things. I wouldn't set out scalpels to my guests at a BBQ even though they are knives designed to cut meat. Steak knives are the appropriate choice. Clippers/shears are for leaves and twigs. Pruners and loppers are for branches.

I bought these shears based on reviews. I bought them to cut the grasses and weeds that grow around the base of my hedges where a weedwacker isn't practical. And indeed, they 'shear' them like a knife thru butter. The blades seem of high quality and work well together. They do what I wanted them to do, and do it well.

If you have serious hedges to clip, buy these. I've been clipping hedges for years with assorted manual and electric clippers. On very soft-wood hedges. anything will work. On most hedges modest-priced electric clippers, at best, leave rough cuts not good for the hedges' health. Most manual clippers do a better job but are a lot of work. These clippers almost make hedge clipping fun. I never knew hedge clippers could be this good.They clip through anything but thick limbs precisely and easily. They'd be wonderful even without the extendable handles, but those save me an armful of scratches on my sharp-leaved hedges. Paying a little more doesn't always provide better quality, but in this case it's a super bargain..

Computer designed blades that make a joke out of shrubbery, with ergo-extended handles for when it comes to the really tough stuff? These are shrub eating monsters that cut through thickets like a hot knife through butter, as they give you back time lost by the use of inferior shears. I know because now that I have used these Tabor shears, when compared to my older, hardware pair, there simply is no way to sum them up, except to say it's like comparing a surgeon's scalpel to a dull pocket knife. The only time I extend the handles all the way out is when I come across a limb. Otherwise, I only extend them as far as needed to get the job done. It's simply faster this way. These Tabor shears are a quality tool that no shed should be without. As for my older, hardware pair? At best they could be described as a computer-generated compromise, where one size fits all. If you grasp them at the handle ends where they are marked for holding, it takes longer to get the job done: simply because it takes longer to travel further. When you add this up, when compared to a handle that you can hold at the ends because they're throw is adjustable, you get that time back in spades. These shears allow you to maximize your effort according to the toughness of the shrubbery you're attacking. And that's all that needs be said about that. So glad I bought them.

So sharp they cut off the stalk of some soft plants as I moved the blade into position to snip but accidentally dragged one side of blade across plant at targeted cut side. Was a little concerned about discomfort of "fulcrum" effect due to weight of handles at 30" length. But I purchased the aluminum handles for the extra $2 or so in price vs metal. The entire tool is light as a feather but is very sturdy with no flexing along the length of the handle. Rubber snubbers on inside of each handle make each snip non-jarring and snips also take little exertion of force; blades are so sharp they slice through with little effort. The blades only are metal. Could do a lot of trimming with no fatigue from weight or length of handles. The additional reach is very effective at allowing user to maintain straight back posture without fatigue of leaning forward to make snips. I wouldn't get the shorter handled tool unless you have ONLY very small plants AND they are waist height, as in a planter. I only used for a short outing first time but I remarked to my neighbor that it performed better than any other hand trimmer I have ever owned. Not made for large diameter branches. It feels like surgical quality as the blades make a quiet "zip" sound on each snip. It clean cuts even dainty leaves that my other manual hedge clipper would just shred between the blades without actually cutting the leaf. I am going to take good care of this blade by cleaning and lightly oiling after each use. Thank you Tabor!
