The privet hedge (40 years old) is required once a pruning. This required a lot of strength in the past and long arms. This scissors it is easier and faster because the scissors easily cut through the hedge. Thick branches do not interfere with the cut. The fuse has not even come. The test cut was performed on a piece of hedge 40 m length, 2 m height and 1.5 m width. Against earlier with a 60cm scissors I needed half of the working hours. The scissors I can recommend for large hedges. The remaining 100m I'll make this time more quickly and with less effort. The quality of the blade steel is rather mediocre. After 140m the knife stumpf.Die delivery are carried out very quickly and the packaging was almost no damage. Thank You Very Much!
