Returning to Yimbly’s Thompson & Morgan’s Cordless Trimming Shears, one person said: “This is a very handy tool for trimming bushes and shrubs. It was quite hard to fix the cutters, but I will probably only use the larger blade. Charge holds for quite a long time.”
Another liked them but found them heavy, writing: “Have just used shears and apart from being a little heavy, cuts well. I am pleased with the purchase.” A different user said: “It’s only OK, not impressed.” Another said: “A very useful little tool. Will tackle many gardening jobs, grass growing round trees, edging etc.”
An additional buyer added: “It looks like a very handy gadget for cutting bushes. You just have to charge it up, and away you go – no wires or plugs. I have not used it yet, but I look forward to using it in the near future. It arrived in a good package.”
