After buying the electric shears (this item did not come in the package), so I had to purchase this seperately. I used this for the first time last week. It was a bit fiddly to change blades but that could be due to my arthritus & not the gizmo itself.
I pruned my climbing overgrown ivy by the front door. Brilliant. Its much easier than using normal pruners or shears, done the job in no time. It made more mess than manual pruning but doing it manually means I can put it straight onto the compost bin. With the electric pruning it made more mess but was easy to clean up with the right tools.
The Ivy looked much better & actually helped my clematis shine through,using these shears is much better than I'd ever expected as I thought it might be a bit bulky or heavy, not so. Its light & easy to use whereas before I would strain & end up in severe pain afterwards.
I'm not sure the price of this is good, as I'm not used to buying electric tools, I usually leave that for my sons. I'm very impressed with this gadget, much easier for me & anyone else with arthritus would be pleased to use this. Just need some dry days now to get back into my garden!
