The scissors works well, even if the spring return sometimes jammed, but this is also due to the to be cut Grashalmdicke and enclosed Grashalmmenge. At least a real alternative to the annoying battery stuff what so is there in the market and did not work well with me. The pity is that my hands after work with the scissors have the red color handle it - if it's healthy, I do not know. A little force needs man / woman also, otherwise it will nix with the performance, but in gardening is a little strength in the fingers anyway necessary. Real ok So for the price, simple and simple garden tool.
