Amen brother! That’s an awesome way to be a blessing others. Especially in times like these when extra money is so hard to come by. Being able to help others just by making normal purchases is brilliant.

[@lawnguy]

I like the idea. But not for $250+. That’s absurd. That tool shouldn’t be more than $75

[@kebo57]

The chinese knock off's will be $75.

Its a great product. Too pricey for now

[@thehappytexan]

I showed your video to my wife and we are behind what your doing 100% brother. We added the smile.Amazon page to the homepage of our phones and will be making personal and business purchases through it from now on. We are firm believers in Mathew 25:40. God has saved our bacon and blessed us above and beyond many times. We have enough to get by, but God is constantly giving us opportunities like this to bless others using the resources He has already given us. It’s awesome man!

[@ColeSpolaric]

$254? That's insane. That's almost the cost of a whole trimmer.

[@Isaacmantx]

It is a pretty awesome head, but I'm glad I got mine before the prices spiked. I paid right at $200, and would honestly do it again as clean as this thing edges. Also, it is built like a tank, and should outlast me so long as I clean and lubricate it regularly.

[@roxanaquintana8620]

I had a model older than this one that I love. My sister has difficulty with tools that are too heavy and she actually loved mine and found it easy to use kzbin.infoUgkx_rBCFuDW1zD6blTGhLkvAkxU657uR_lG . This is a newer model but was even lighter which she really appreciates. She enjoys it and I no longer have to go to her house to trim as she can handle it fine. Haven't used it enough to comment on the battery life but lithium batteries last longer than the old style. Being cordless makes it easy to trim the far edges of the property. The entire yard can be trimmed with one charged battery.

Good morning and good review Pete

[@ben-gardener]

Looks neat and for sure useful in some sports, but I think about all the chain link fences that would get caught in the scissors. As some have said, not a replacements for a string trimmer, but for sure very cool in certain scenarios.

[@RootedLawnCo]

That can hook up to your EGO trimmer or stick edger if the correct model.

[@GeekMom50]

Am shocked u didn't have one already..I would love to have one in my tool chest but can't justify its cost for my 5000 sq ft yard.

Thing is awesome. Liked it so much I bought one for my Dad too. Replacement blades are a must and imo should be swapped for the job at hand. Loud af machine.

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

That thing is definitely awesome and is extremely useful but it's also an investment. Well done Pete!👊🏼

[@Isaacmantx]

I picked this exact head up before mowing season started last year, and I have gotten to where I only use it for edging. I mow tall (3.5"+) and trim mostly against barriers rather than above sidewalks. I find a string does a MUCH better job trimming against something like a tall landscape edge, slab, or fence. If most of my trimming was edging against sidewalks, I wouldn't have ever gone back to the string head. I did toss out my edger attachment in favor of this, though, it REALLY shines when edging. I also use it to run a small bevel against the sidewalk edge to ease the visual lines on that grass/concrete transition.

[@jimk59]

I was using NWTF (turkey) but I have switched to Team Jaxx. I have the scissors and love it, an additional tool in the lawn arsenal.

Hey Pete. Have a great day

[@ColonelK0rn1]

I love my rotary scissors. They work great for getting low cut turf, but the best part is not flinging rocks, sticks or grass! No more painful shin injuries if you're trimming in shorts. Whatever you're cutting just falls right over.

[@shadyscruples7161]

Hey Pete!! I have only been following you on Y T for a very short time. I don't miss a single video. It must be a God thing but I feel like I have known you forever. You are a good man Pete and I appreciate all that you do. As a brother in Christ, your video's have encouraged me spiritually and as a homeowner you have inspired me and given me some wonderful ideas as well as motivating me to get off my lazy butt and to go outside and get some fresh air, sunshine and exercise more often and work in my yard which has caused me to lose some weight. Keep up the great work!!!😊 May God Richly Bless you and your family and your business my friend.

[@NewYears1978]

The best thing about it is how quiet it is

[@the73inchdic3]

This bad boy starts to get really heavy real quick. And my Echo 230 seemed like it was straining. Paired it with the M18 Milwaukee trimmer and it's been golden. Also make sure to oil it periodically with some EP-O grease. Great tool 👍

[@Hardball25fan]

I have been using the rotory scissors for 2 years and just absolutely love it. It is important to disassemble to clean and sharpen about twice a year. This tool has cut my trimming time down considerably. There is still a need for the line trimmer against wire fencing.

[@heresmytake2782]

Yep that chain link is a no go with this head

[@bencrabtree328]

[@alan30189]

Nice, effective tool. I think that’s designed for open areas, light brush and edging. It will tear up a tree if you hit the tree. Cutting around a pole like that might damage the tool as well as the pole. With trees, you don’t want to damage the bark on the tree with it, or as you know, you’ll kill the tree. Trees won’t live long without their bark. Two more nice things are, you don’t have to constantly replace string line and have all the plastic string line pieces getting into the environment, two more pluses. 👍🏼

[@donnaknokecobb3988]

On my thick zoysia, string trimmer tends to lay the grass over if moving slowly, wants to grab and scalp if moving at a moderate speed. Scissors provide much more precise control, better cut quality and are great for beveling/rounding edges. I bought a 2nd FS 70R to have one with scissors, one with string, as string trimmer is best for against brick walls, etc.

[@tomhofmann6008]

Hey Pete, I guess I jumped the gun when I asked you last week if you've tried the power rotary scissors. I sure love mine and another thing I've found useful is the Darwin Grip 5.0 which attaches to the shaft and gives a little more leverage and easier on the back. You keep making videos and I'll keep watching.

That’s the standard blade on it and not really meant for edging. There is a bigger blade available for edging and also a smaller blade than the standard meant for trimming finer/thinner grass. I love this attachment. I use it on St Augustine; it’s not just for low mowed lawns.

Pete if you order another one of these purchase it directly from Seago International in Hickory. They will not honor the warranty for units purchased from Amazon. Tell them you are a member of the Lawn Care Forum to get their discount. If you are maintaining a golf course lawn you are missing out if you don’t own one of these to do your trimming.

[@insertnamehere313]

Nice to see different invitations etc being tested ........but I think the old fashioned trim line is still the best and here's my problems with the scissors. #1.Burning trim/scalping. #2.Getting the grass to lift up. #3.damage fencing,custom edging/sprinkler heads etc,underground fencing for pets lights and you will likely destroy or severely damage them but string line is alot more forgiving and is unlikely to destroy anything like I mentioned. Then the maintenance for greasing and sharpening but I'm super curious about how it would handle tall wet ditches where the grass is thick.

[@thelog86]

I guess it has its use somewhere in law care. Weed eater seems faster

[@GCITurf]

I’m not about speed. I’m about quality. This attachment cuts MUCH MUCH cleaner than any string trimmer I have ever used.

[@johnhamilton9229]

Hey Pete, good demo. I’ve owned mine for a year. I personally don’t use it as an edger. Strictly trimming. Amazing tool and if your not sure it’s worth it, at least try someone’s before your final decision. It is not a quiet attachment. Strongly recommend Bluetooth headphones.

[@acfuller86]

Just watch out for those fences, light poles, mailboxes, home foundations and pretty much everywhere you need a string trimmer.

[@Isaacmantx]

That is the thing missed on this. This makes an AMAZING edger and sculptor... but it doesn't totally replace a string. I use a string against vertical concrete or fence, and use this against any edge that is below the cut line of the grass.

[@acfuller86]

@@Isaacmantx sculpting? use against any edge below the cut line on the grass? You may just need better string, a stronger trimmer or more training.

I enjoyed the vid and the install most of all, the charitable reason and what your doing iwith the funds is a noble gesture.👍 I think this item will pay for itself in the long run. I normally do handyman work technically I'm not a landscaper, but I've done some landscaping. This definitely facilitates the task of having to constantly replace the plastic strand again and again. However, The cost reflects its value, I would have felt more comfortable at $90-$150 bucks $240-255 is a bit steep. For me anyways considering I personally don't do enough lawns to justify the cost. It's definitely worth it though if your landscaping all day, everyday, it would make more sence to make the purchase. Thx again 👍
