I believe you could use it to prune ivy or bushes.
There are no gears or cams that need to be lubricated on these manual shears. I've used them to cut weeds beneath the surface of the water in the lake. They cut through the 1" rope securing the boat (not the intended target) as easily as they cut through the weeds. I dried them in the sun, and there is no rust on them, and they work perfectly. I'm sure it wouldn't hurt if you sprayed them with WD40 or rubbed them with a light oil - However, I do not believe that it is required.
These are excellent hedge shears, designed to cut finer stems or twiggy items such as hedges. Consider boxwood or sprucing up your Christmas tree. Bushes should be pruned with loppers or hand pruners. Hedge shears simply cut without regard for the proper pruning points, i.e. They're good for hedges that quickly grow back when sheared at the right time of year, so you don't see the brown ends; they're bad for hedges that quickly grow back when sheared at the right time of year, so you don't see the brown ends; they're good for hedges that quickly grow back when sheared at the right time of year, so you don't see the brown ends; they're good for Maintain their sharpness at all times. The English are known for their large hedges, which they sharpen every time they use them or several times a day on long hedges. Hand pruners or loppers allow you to cut at a specific point, such as the base of a branch. , the growing point, so that there isn't a long stem to die back, or through a browning and dying leaf. You always cut back close to the nearest outward facing 5 leaf, just like you would with roses, and this allows for faster rebloom - Hand pruners or loppers, rather than hedge shears, would be used. With just about anything, you can cut just about anything. A pair of scissors can cut small, thin twigs, but it's bad for the scissors' life, the plant's health, and your hands and wrists. Sharp cuts, rather than mashing, ripping, or tearing, are required to keep a plant healthy and prevent diseases and pests from entering through the bark. I can't imagine using these hedge shears to cut tall grass or dense foliage that would require a weed wacker. To get to the bottom, you'd have to first bend low to the ground, and you'd ruin both these and yourself in the process. You'll need something else if your weedy matter is that thick. If the vegetation is primarily grass. Use a scythe (curved blade on long handle) for a workout, or a riding mower (but not a finish mower or an expensive zero turn) for a large area (i.e. an acre), or if a large area (i.e. an acre) - enlist the help of a bush hog. If it's mostly twiggy brushiness - Cut each one down to the ground with a riding mower, bush hog, or long-handled loppers. If you have a small space to work with, such as an overgrown flower bed. After a rain, get down on your hands and knees and weed it the old fashioned way, making sure to get the entire root out. If you don't find anything valuable, roundup is an option, but stay away from anything you want to keep. Also, if you have a grassy area that has become overgrown with weeds and other weeds but still has a good lawn underneath - a weed killer that is effective Check with your local extension agent, a turf shop, or hire a professional to do it for you. If a string weed eater isn't cutting it, a good quality gas trimmer will. However, a brush blade can be obtained - There's a Beaver, a MaxPower/Razor, and so on, all of which are available on Amazon. They are available in a variety of sizes, ranging from 7" to 12". The price of a 12" can range between $60 and $100. $120, cut number 2 These come with the adapter and blade and are 3" in diameter (small sapling tree). They fit on almost any gas powered weed eater. IMPORTANT IMPORTANT IMPORTANT IMPORTANT IMPORTANT IMPORT These are not for the inexperienced, teens, or those who are physically unstable - Those who trip, fall, become dizzy, and so on will be able to cut through large amounts of material 2- 3" to 3 1/2", depending on the weed eater's blade size and horsepower. These blades resemble circular saw blades and, while they work well, they can cause a lot of damage if they get caught in long, loose pants or swing around. The last and most important suggestion is to hire someone who has the necessary equipment.
You certainly have the ability to mow the lawn, but it is inefficient.

used once a year, sharpened every few years, cleaned, oiled, and stored in an oiled rag after each use They did a good job for me, and I was disappointed when they finally broke down (wobbly pivot - will not be held in place). br>I was ecstatic to discover that these trimmers are nearly identical to the ones I had (with the exception of the extendable handles). I believe the components could be swapped out - It's a fantastic design that doesn't need to be improved. br>The action is smooth and simple to use in practice. very good leverage The extendable handles extend the reach and power of the tool - Particularly when my grandchildren assist me with yard work. br>I can tell Fiskars clippers, loppers, pruners, and scissors are of higher quality than the rest of my clippers, loppers, pruners, and scissors. I'm confident that these will outlast my previous ones.
When the main pivot rivet on my first four-year-old pair failed (see photo), I purchased this second pair. Fortunately, Fiskars promptly sent me a replacement rivet, which corrected the first pair (see photo). ) As long as the cutting blades are kept clean, they mesh smoothly. The rubber bumper stop reduces jarring and gives the blades a little bounce back when they're opened. Shears should last a long time if the blades are kept clean; my four-year-old shears are as razor sharp as my new ones, and I've never sharpened them (see photo).
My HOA contractors do a terrible job trimming the landscape around my outdoor lighting, so I had to buy these clippers. The unit's extension feature gave it enough reach to trim the interior landscaping while keeping the plants' overall shape. I'm curious to see how long the blades will maintain their sharpness now that I've used them twice on the fast-growing Florida plants.
Con: The handle locks were completely broken. It was necessary for me to keep extending them inward. every four years It was extremely inconvenient, and the blade extension was the reason I bought it in the first place.
The Fiscars appeared to be well-made, and they were able to handle some of the 1/4 to 1/2-inch saplings I was cutting. br>Because I'm a smaller, older woman, and the shears are a little heavier than I expected, I couldn't work for long periods of time, but the finished area looked very neat. It just took some time. br>Just think about the things I didn't think about. br>This is a high-quality item.
I took my time looking through all of the hedge shears and eventually settled on Fiskars, which I'm glad I did. They're razor-sharp, light, extend easily, and aren't unbalanced, and the 10-inch blades are super sharp. inch serrated top blades are the icing on the cake. These must be the best, and they must also include the force multiplier. Right after I opened the package, I cut through the woody branches of an ornamental bush, and they went through 1/2-inch of wood. inch limbs as if they didn't exist. WD-40 was sprayed lightly on the surface. 40 from a 20 oz non-alcoholic beverage Version with an aerosol pump that allows you to control the spray amount and only apply a small amount. I'm set.
It is preferable to have a longer duration. As one would expect from Fiskars, the cutting quality is excellent. Leverage and reach are both increased with extended handles. It's difficult to think of a good reason to shorten the handles. The longer handles make bending and reaching much easier. Larger bites between blades are more likely when you have more leverage and reach. REVISION! br>br> If the extended handles are dropped or handled while pushing toward the branches to be cut, they will become shorter. Because there is no notch to catch larger branches, they slide toward the point without being cut. Warming paraffin wax with a small amount of 30 weight oil makes a good lubricant that lasts longer. Sharpening is required more frequently with these than with traditional flame hardened edges.
The shears were well packaged and arrived on time. They performed admirably and made the task of clipping flowers and hedges a breeze. The telescoping handles are a nice addition that also function well. After some use of a rivet pin to hold one of the handles to a blade pivot point that works as the Power-Up, we had a problem with the Shears. The cutting force was increased with the help of a lever. The other three rivet pins were also discovered to be loose after further inspection. I was able to tack weld a pin in place and tack weld the other pivot pins as well. The Shears are operational once more, but only because we were able to repair them. br>The Shears are useless if one of the four pins is missing. If you plan on using these shears more frequently than once or twice during the summer, I'd suggest looking into another option.
