I own many, many Worx tools, and several different type of Worx saws. My vegetation consists of many tree and bush types that are prone to generate many small, sub-inch branches that are too small to conveniently cut with a reciprocating or chain saw. You know the type, the ones that the saw blade or chain just make vibrate around instead of cutting, and require a lopper. This tool is the answer to that. Makes short work of those smaller branches by effortlessly cutting them off as close to the main limb or trunk as you can get. The “but” in my title refers to the fact that, like another poster says, if you cut yourself with this tool, it is on you, but NEVER EVER lose sight of the jaws before you pull the trigger, because it would remove a finger as effortlessly as it cuts through a finger sized limb or branch. Easier to do than you would think. Reach out with one hand to hold some branches out of the way of the one you intend to cut, stick the jaws down into that area without realizing a finger might be closer to the intended cut than you realize and “Oh Spit!!!!!” Other than that, a magnificent tool.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had seen this cordless shear for some time and was able to buy when offered at a good discount. Especially glad that the 20 volt battery that I use on my 3 year old weed wacker could be used on this item also. Very satisfied with all WORX tools I have bought over the years
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Brought this to help with pruning of shrubs. Tried them on a rather large hydrangea and rose of Sharon and they worked great! Am trying to prevent hand injury from repetitive hand movements and these pruners do the trick.
