Our final reviewed product is another set of edging shears from Finish brand Fiskars, makers of the innovative ‘servo-system’ shears we reviewed earlier. Another excellent feature of Fiskars servo system edging shears is the ability to rotate the blades 360 degrees so you can always get the angle that you need. You can also adjust the angle of the blades in relation to the handle so that it runs straight down and not perpendicular. This would be helpful for trimming some particularly tight spots. Their tools have won Red Dot Awards, Good Design Awards, Popular Mechanics Green Design Awards, Ease-of-Use Commendations and more. As this is the thing you’ll be holding onto the most it is important to get something you are happy with. Aluminium shafts are very rust resistant and lightweight but might not be the strongest. Tubular steel will give you a sturdier feel but can make the tool heavier – however, unlike garden loppers, strength is less important as they don’t do the same hard work so a bit less strength won’t hurt you. Tubular steel shaft is much stronger than alternative aluminium Confusingly, there are similar products with very similar names from this brand, the only difference is the word ‘steel’ added between the Razorsharp and edging shears.

Fiskar have chosen heated steel as the material for the blades on these edging shears to give them more strength and durability, and there is a cushioned ‘bumper’ to reduce jarring and strain on the user.These are currently priced sensibly and are easily the heavy duty commercial choice – they are a very good deal for such a well put together garden tool.

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. PLEASE NOTE: Turf, Wildflower Turf, Sedum Mats and bulk Bag products are delivered on a pallet and can only be delivered to the kerbside. Thankfully, the grips on these handles are made from a combination of polypropylene for strength, and TPR for softness and grip, and they really help to keep the tool under control. The 33 inch long handles certainly feel sturdier than the aluminium ones in our first review, but that doesn’t mean that they are more durable, they just feel more rigid as they are made from tubular steel and don’t have the slight flex of aluminium. In the end, handle material is a matter of preference, some prefer good old, solid steel, while others like the lightweight, rust free properties of aluminium.For more information on how The Pallet Network delivers our different types of products, please watch this short video. What Issues Could Arise With Delivery? Fiskars Long Handled Edging Shears – Fiskars Group is the global home of design-driven brands for indoor and outdoor living. Since 1649, they have designed products of timeless, purposeful, and functional beauty, driving innovation and sustainable growth. The tubular steel handles felt strong and sturdy, more so than I expected for the low price, but the angle of the grips and handles themselves gave me the same trouble as the Bahco after a while- tired wrist and forearm muscles. I know this is unavoidable for the most part, and your arms and wrists will always get tired when using shears for a long time, but these started causing me problems a little faster than some of the other edging shears we tested.
