Corona GS6750 blades are 5 1/2 inches long when fully extended.
Not if the reed is more than an eighth of an inch thick or is woody, and even that is pushing it. br>It's a tough tool, but it's a "grass shear" that wasn't designed for this.
Navyboy is 100% right! These are made in Mexico at our Corona factory. I've seen the forging and manufacturing process for these tools, and it's quite impressive; they're made of forged steel and have been fully heat treated, which increases their durability and allows them to be sharpened. So, on behalf of everyone at Corona, thank you so much for your continued support of our products, which we take great pride in. Thank you very much for your query.

But, seriously, it is where I find my peace. It really appeals to me. I've been using Fiskars, which I get from Lowe's, for over 20 years. Despite the fact that I sharpen the blades every time I use them, I find that I need to replace them every 4 to 5 years. Plus, as I've gotten older, carpal tunnel has set in, making trimming a pain. I bought these to replace my fourth pair of Fiskars, and I'm very pleased with them! These are tough, powerful, and cut grass like no other. Weed patches as thick as butter can be trimmed away. These clippers are incredible, and I can't say enough good things about them. They're absolutely fantastic. Fiskars, we'll miss you!.
My 30-year-old pair went missing in my backyard, and I had to replace them with the same shears that I had before. Scissors are hard to come by. Hand shears in the style of These are far more versatile than what is currently available on the market, and they do not quickly lose their competitive advantage. They can be used to "haircut" anything. " These aren't just for grass lawns anymore. If they become dull, they can be sharpened with a whetstone or a smooth fine-cut metal file (don't overdo it). I recommend doing some research on how and when to sharpen). I would strongly suggest it. br>br>.
I was using an old pair that belonged to my grandfather, and they worked fine. But I really needed a new cut, and these GS 6750s are exactly what I needed; I'm hoping they last as long as my grandfather's.
Regrettably, I didn't spend enough time reading reviews before placing my order. However, after reading online reviews about easy rusting, I considered returning without opening the package. That was not my fault! I gave the blades WD-40 right away. 40 as a precaution, and because I'd decided to do so after each use. br>I was astounded to see evidence of rusting only 5 hours after its initial, brief use. Seriously, I had no idea how quickly rust could form. especially after a WD-40 application From 12 p. m. to 4 p. m. , for example? br>I'm going to hold on to it. However, this is a negative trend. It will take time to see if my 3-point plan is successful. The five-star rating is excessive.
I sprayed it with some WD40. As a couple of viewers pointed out, it used to stick closed and had to be reopened every time I used it, but that was an easy fix. I sprayed it with WD40 and it works perfectly. Cleaning it and squirting it with WD40 after each use is also a good idea.
When you try to open the shears, they tend to become stuck and stay shut. Clipping the grass almost necessitates the use of both hands. I was using cheap scissors that weren't designed for grass clipping before I bought these shears. I'm basically stuck with them because returning them would be too expensive. My husband has large hands and works with a variety of tools, but he dislikes these as well.
After closing, these grass shears would not return to the open position. They cut well, but I had to open the blades by hand, which I didn't like. Then I oiled them, which made them better for the next time I used them, but they went back to being hard to open after a short time, so I polished both cutting edges with fine steel wool. SUCCESS! They're fantastic, and they're possibly the best shears I've ever used. They're still great after a few more uses, and there's no need to oil or polish them. Just a lot of cutting.
I knew it wasn't made in the United States before I went in. It's now manufactured in Mexico. The following were some of the most important selling points:

On the inside of the blade flats, there was some powdercoat splatter. To get rid of it, I'll use acetone. I can live with it if that doesn't work. br>br>This appears to be well-made and should last a long time. The fact that this is an unriveted construction eliminates the possibility of loose rivets.
