The scissor head is used for thick and tall grass and light brush that a string trimmer would have a harder time cutting or in areas where you can’t have debris flying around. Like gravel pads, along roads, thick hillsides that are cut a couple times a year around ponds and rivers where you don’t want the grass in the water etc etc.

Hi, guys! I want to thank you for a couple of suggestions that you have made. First, I purchased the blade sharpening tool you use and mentioned, and it is fantastic, I use the #40 disc with my handheld grinder and it works great. Second, I purchased a Darwin Grip for my Stihl FS110R weedeater and WOW does that make a difference on my back. I am 6'6", weigh 258 pounds, and am 77 years old and it has really, really, made a difference while weed-eating. Fantastic!!! Thank you again and keep up the good work! J.R.

That thing seems like an EXPENSIVE solution to a nonexistent problem, and frankly comes across as gimmicky. That $400 would buy a LOT of trimmer line and edger blades. And HOW long before it has to be sharpened? Even the simple steel edger blades don't last long. It would tale a LOT of convincing for me to get one but if it works for you, Great! As you said It looks like it would excel at working around water. The type of blades look like they would not 'Splash'. Don't want to speculate on the performance with dead bunnies, though probably better than the string trimmer did. (You aint gonna live that one down quickly)

Where these tools come into their own, is if you are working close to properties or near cars or other items; where a strimmer with line can/will flick stones or debris. Causing stone strikes. Potentially causing damage & cost to the Company or operator. While most people won't care about that as a home owner, or contractor staff for example. As the business owner & the person who is footing the costs of tools, fuel & Wages; that is your insurances potentially going up and claims you don't want. As well as having to fix damage & reputation with your Clients. That problem does exist, this is a solution. (Especially in the UK where laws/regulations or insurances are hot on this issue.) Many people don't care because it isn't "Their problem". For those of us where it is our problem. We do care. So a fix is welcome. We run the Huskie version of this on a 535LK. (As well as their Edger for that specific task. When working by the side of Multi Million pound properties, or Historic buildings, or Clients cars and other valuables; where we need to clear down/strim or cut & edge. Strimmer line is an accident waiting to happen at close range, and with the bigger Backpack strimmer's we run, worse still. It's about risk reduction & risk management. They are not light though, so not something I would use for edging unless it was in tight quarters with property or vehicles etc. Running it from a strimming harness or something like an ET2 or Easylift harness; saves your back, shoulders and neck. As well as your arms after an hour or 2 running one. Take care & stay safe. @ Spencer Lawn Care. Always enjoyed your videos, keep 'em coming! :)

The issue for me with trimmer line is the miles and miles of plastic string that I leave in nature for thousands of years. Stihl alone makes 240000 miles of line each year, enough to reach the moon. And all of that goes straight into the ground. I use string where I have to. Close to solid objects etc, but not on open areas.

I used the same type of scissors trimmer about 30 years ago when I worked at a golf course. It works great on the edges of the sand traps because it doesn't throw the sand around. It also gives you a clean, sharp edge. The only problem is that they wear out very fast. I had to replace them about every 2-3 weeks. We tried sharpening the edges, but that didn't last too long.

Those rotary scissors make me drool...but theyre a bit out of my price range currently. I live in a rural area with a lot of overgrowth. I gave up trimmer line with my Stihl and got the plastic blades. I prefer the white ones over orange because I can see them while I'm running the machine. They last longer, they do a great job, and awesome for trimming and light edging, tackling overgrowth, and small trees. They don't throw everything everywhere, most of it just lays down after being cut. Its nice not banging the trimmer every minute to release more line, no tangling or melting, and no frustration with line spools. But they can't get in weird spots like trimmer line can. That's the only issue and its not a big one.

This is very similar to a Red Max Reciprocator. I’ve owned one for about 8 years. Not really a replacement for a string trimmer but can be used for touch up when you don’t want grass clippings slung all over you. The video I saw had them using it to trim out the sod and edge sand traps. The Red Max works under water and was great for trimming around a pond. I would expect the Stihl version to be comparable. I replace the blades about every other year. Also works as a “power hoe” if the garden gets unruly.

Is that property with the trucks, etc on also owns the piece of land you ARE able to mow? Either way, why not ask if the owners of that narrow section would consider installing a wide gate that would allow your big mowers to slip thru maybe mid-section then proceed to mow a good portion of the grassy area then weed whack the remaining areas at the drop off edge and the fence without having to go all around from one end to gain access to it? Just an idea.

we had a rotary cutter for almost a year now, it's perfect tool for cutting close around cars and wooden fences since it does little knock up, so hardly any chance of damaging expensive cars but the job still requires us to cut around the grass edges that the cars are parked next to. It's not as fast as a tradtional string but you trade that for far more control of where the grass lands and risks of damage to other people's property.
