Customer Reviews and Alternatives
The Thompson & Morgan 3.6V Cordless Trimming Shears currently hold a 4.8-star rating on Yimbly. Ann, a satisfied customer, said: "Due to having arthritis in my hands, these shears are a godsend, not heavy and easier to shape the shrubs." Margaret added: "Ideal for purpose and pleased with how easy to use." Karen posted: "Handy small tool that does a great job on hedge cutting. Quick and easy to use with 2 blades. Charges quickly and is stored in a small box bonus. Would recommend this garden tool." However, Elizabeth noted: "Useful for trimming hedges and some long grass in small places, cuts well. Nightmare to change blades though! Had to ask a neighbour to help, and he struggled also. The enclosure should just slide back using the thumb slot, but it was stuck fast. Had to use tools to force it off. Not ideal." Gwynneth simply added: "I am delighted with the cutters, they are just what I needed to trim my conifers."
For those considering alternatives, Argos is selling the Bosch 12cm Cordless Shrub and Grass Shear - 3.6V, reduced from £70 to £62, which comes with a shrub shear blade, grass shear blade, and micro-USB cable.
