Using Long Handle Grass Shears for Your Lawn and Garden Needs
Keeping your lawn and garden in tiptop shape can sometimes tax your body, especially for those who are old enough to garner aches and pains when there is constant bending and leaning. Long handle grass shears can help to eliminate these problems.
What Long Handle Grass Shears Look Like
Long handle grass shears are also called long neck grass shears. The reason for this is because the shears are attached to a long handle or neck (approximately the distance of an average adult's mid thigh to the ground). The business end of the long handle grass shears have the shears while the other end is the part where the gardener presses to make the shears at the other end function. To make the long handle grass shears function, a wire or cable connects both the shears to the device used to press.
Uses of Long Handle Grass Shears
The primary use of long handle grass shears is to eliminate the bending and the leaning that accompanies trimming grass. Most of the time, people use lawn mowers to keep their lawns trim and in shape. The problem with most lawn mowers is that they can not reach the edges of the lawn especially when the edges are bordered by stone steps, flagstones etc. Grass shears help to eliminate the spiky grass that usually grows on the edges of the lawn. For younger gardeners, constantly bending over to trim some spots can be tiring. This problem is more so for older gardeners with problems regarding their posture and bones.
Long handle grass shears help gardeners from the taxing motions of bending to trim the edges of the lawn. Some long handle grass shears are also equipped to turn their heads to a certain degree to enable the right cutting angle needed and some also have wheels at the bottom of the garden implement to ease carrying the tool.
The long handle garden shears can also be use to cut other kinds of foliage as well as some stubborn stems and branches. Those with wheels at the bottom may be more difficult to lift for plants not close to the ground so you can opt for lightweight shears for cutting other things other than grass.
Although, many gardeners might not like the idea of something so easy being made easier just for the sake of aching bones, this long handle garden shears can really help those who need it.
