Easy and comfortable to use. I like that the tool can be adjusted for length. The metal snipper blade is very good in long or thick grass. There are not enough plastic snipper blades in the pack as they tend to break fairly easily if they hit a rock or something hard. I think the blade is too hard and breaks rather than gives when it hits an obstruction so has to be used with care. The Trimmer can be also used as an edger if you are careful - takes a bit of getting used to. All-in-all a useful garden tool for a reasonable price.
