Review on Stens 385 581 Power Rotary Scissors by Denise Davis

A few words about that. Pros: No damage to your fence, siding, etc. Unless you're really swinging it like a golf club and hitting it against where you're cutting, you no longer have to smash wood or plastic paneling to death. - It easily floats over grass, weeds, tree vines and small saplings. Anything that fits between your teeth is instantly split in half. You can cut long distances very quickly without having to go back and hit the missed spots, which is easy to do with a line. - Now you can cut your shorts, shrapnel will no longer shoot at your legs or your side panels, windows, pets, cars. -No more fiddling with the cord. That's what really got me excited! No plastic cords scattered throughout the house. Bad: - This thing is expensive. It cost more than the herbivore I attached it to. - This thing is heavy. It's a piece of stamped steel and you'll need some sort of suspension to handle the extra weight. - No mulching effect. A lawn trimmer is like mulching your cuttings. This thing cuts them clean at the base and they just lay there. Therefore, you have to come back with a rake and pull out the clippings so you can mow them. - This thing is dangerous. I don't want to get hit by a string trimmer, but this thing will cut your fingers off in no time. You should treat it with far more respect than a string. In the same way, make sure the coax, network, or other cables you've connected to the house (with ovens like mine) are aligned, or you'll cut all those cables to pieces (don't ask me , from where I know this). The thread cutter kind of slaps them together but doesn't cut them in half. "It says you can climb with it, but despite the price I won't use it for mud digging. They sell replacement blades if you want to do it and money isn't an issue. So read above and weigh the benefits to see if it suits your needs. I'm keeping this but I'm not selling my other electric trimmer. I'll be using this for light work and detail work and ripping out this monster when I need serious cutting.
