Electric models: high performance battery, fine scissors and handrail

Various models of electric lawn scissors are suitable for very different lawn edges. If you have to mow many edges and are reluctant to get on your knees, you should pay attention to firstly a high battery performance and secondly a mountable rod. The battery becomes important when mowing does not take place in five minutes, but only the lawn edges and hard-to-reach corners can fill an afternoon. The handrail is useful so that you do not have to struggle with your knees or bending over; it protects your back. Most manufacturers have models of electric lawn scissors in the program, which not only have an extension rod, but can also be fully operated by them. The electric lawn shears differ but not only in the more or less easy operation and battery performance, but also in terms of scissors. Fine scissors are sensitive, but can be fine racegood use. They cut evenly and are smooth. Anyone who has to cope with a rather mixed lawn with wild herbs and one or the other flown herb, is not happy with a pair of fine scissors. Coarser shear blades and a slightly more powerful motor also create the harder stems of herbs and herbs.

Manual: No electricity, but physical strength

Grass shears without a battery look a bit like hedge trimmers. They usually have very long blades, are relatively easy to move in one hand and are rotatable. The shear blades can be rotated through a joint between blades and handles by 180 ° to 360 °. As a result, even the finest edges are still easily accessible. Even with simple lawn scissors, there are differences in fineness. Very long shear blades are efficient, which means longer, straight lawn edges. Shorter blades are available in hard to reach corners. Grass shears, which have no electric drive, can be sharpened themselves, like any pair of scissors. This can be a sharpenerbe used, or a special grinding and sharpening machine. Lengthening bars (as with pruning shears) are not common in these lawn shears.
