A great Universal scissors: As long as the diameter is below about 2cm is, everything from soft branches to sterner stuff easily cut and not crushed. For thicker branches, the opening of the cutting is simply not large enough and with grass or reed the type come to their limits. Outside these extremes it does its job but good and reliable. However, the gap is a little sensitive soul: When a device is in the heat of battle, a wire at the cutting edge, you get punished with dents in the blade. Only criticism: The gap is unfortunately not riveted and bolted. Ie: cleaning and sharpening is difficult to repair almost impossible.
