Product Information

Offering a good combination of affordability, quality and value, these Bulldog Premier Edging Shears are some of the best edging shears to buy if you’re after a mid-range option. They’re not as expensive as premium shears, but still offer quality construction and durability. Lightweight shears weighing 1 – 1.5kg are best for edging medium/large lawns . They’ll be easier on the arms when used for long periods. However, some of the larger, quality shears weigh over 2kg, as you’ll see below. Anything over 2 kg will likely feel heavy to most gardeners after prolonged use. Although manageable, you may want to choose a lighter tool if you get tired easily, struggle with mobility, or don’t have a lot of upper-body strength. Shears that way over 2 kg probably aren’t the best choice for larger gardens.

Choosing the best lawn edging shears will depend on your height, budget and garden. The following information should help give you more of an idea what to look out for. If you want to elevate the appearance of your lawn after mowing, you may find that lawn edging shears are what you’ve been missing. Fiskars LifeStyle 113310 Long-Handled Edging Shear with 100 cm Handle have looked after me for a long timeEven so, these are some of the best lawn edging shears on the market due to their quality and the results that they offer. In most gardens, they will work well to crisply neaten up grass edges – just make sure the weight will be manageable. With our selection of garden cutting tools you can keep your outdoor areas trimmed, pruned and tidy for a landscaped look. From potted shrubs to your hedges and lawn, we have the tools you need to keep your garden looking its best all year round. My initial reaction on pulling these Bahco edging shears out of the box was ‘those blades look good’, which is a good start for any cutting tool review. It’s worth nothing that you would do well to lean your blades after every use, but the reality is in my home, that just doesn’t happen. So the best thing is to make sure that you have a can of WD-40 on hand, or some decent oil. Keeping the blades oiled through Winter will save you rust and clean up come Spring. Sharpening your blades is generally easiest with a file. I put mine in a vice and use some high grit sandpaper. After, oil them up and this will keep the rust away and useable for years to come. This chap is well worth watching, his video is excellent and although these are standard shears, the method is exactly the same. The cutting is performed by two 9 inch long blades constructed from heat treated carbon steel which is a material that is easier to get an extremely sharp edge on than stainless steel and so makes it great for cutting.

On the other hand, some people might not like the more flexible feel to the handles and prefer the solidity of steel, so that’s something to think about. The tops of the handles are coated with rubber, which provides good grip and control over the tool. If you want to avoid using electric edgers, but don’t want to spend more money than necessary on a pair of shears, these are a good option to consider. The overall length of these Bahco edging shears is 95cm and the cutting blades are around 18cm long. I’m not sure of the exact weight of this model but they felt similar to the Wilkinson sword and had a fair bit of weight to them. This usually means that they are made from solid stuff though, so you can’t have everything. For a start, the first thing that grabs your attention is that there is only one handle. So how does the cutting motion work? I found myself thinking. I laid them on the floor and started thinking how? If the last set of shears were a high quality budget model. These servo-system edging shears from Fiskars are definitely a premium product, with it sporting some nice little design features for the extra bit of money you need to shell out for them.Made by Bulldog, a company based in Wigan, UK, these shears are the only model with a fibreglass handle to have gained a spot on this list. As a lightweight but durable material, the fibreglass shaft helps with manageability. The shears weigh 1.81 kg in total.
