Argos shoppers are praising the Spear & Jackson Razorsharp Edging Shears, now priced at £18 down from £22, for their sharpness and long handles that make it easier to neaten garden borders without bending down.
The shears feature 36-inch (91.5cm) handles, allowing gardeners to use them standing up or even sitting down, while the 230mm blade covers plenty of area in one snip while offering precision and control. The carbon steel blades are coated with PTFE to keep them rust-resistant and sharp with easy maintenance.
Shopper reviews highlight sharpness and reach
One reviewer called them: “Sharp, lightweight and easy to use.” Another agreed: “Very sharp and precise,. Ideal for cutting awkward to reach places on lawn where borders are present. Very pleased with purchase and an excellent price.”
However, the length was a point of contention for some shoppers. One said: “Had to return it as it was so big I'd need to wear stilts to use it.” Another added: “I think this was designed for a man. I returned it as soon as I collected it. Too heavy and too long. Now looking for a more suitable one.”
Alternatives and other options
For those wanting something taller, the Unibos Long-Handle Edging Shears are available at Amazon for £13.99, with 38-inch handles covered with soft rubber grips for comfort. For heavier pruning, the Heavy Duty Garden Shears With Long Handles (£16.90) are ideal for trimming trees, bushes, small branches and lawns, with long handles providing increased leverage.
Despite mixed feedback on size, many shoppers loved the shears. One wrote: “Nice to have longer handles. Very sharp at the moment, hope they stay like that for some time.” Another praised: “Excellent pair of edging shears- good length so no stooping and as advertised- razor sharp.”
