Tools and Hardware Reviews of SKIL 8120 3.6-Volt Lithium Ion Isio 2-N-1 Cordless Shrub And Grass ShearCustomer Review: Wonderful Tool Summary: 5 Stars
I use this trimmer to trim bushes and have no plans to use the grass cutting attachment. This tool does just what it designed to do...cut SMALL NEW and LIGHT growth. It is not designed for heavy cutting...which is no problem for me. I am very pleased with how it works. Some people have mentioned that they did not like the trigger safety switch...however I got used to it very quickly and find no problem with it.
My use for this trimmer is to keep up with the rapid light new growth on some of my small bushes. In Florida...things tend to grow while you watch them it seems. There are 115 bushes of all kinds in my yard...and not being physically able to take care of them completely any longer...it is necessary to call in the landscapers (which is not cheap) to maintain them. However...to keep the landscapers from having to come too often I got this trimmer to take care of some of the new growth...which is a weekly task here in the Summer.
Because this trimmer is so lightweight I can easily do that kind of work myself. Sure beats having to use those big hand hedge trimmers and I can do the same amount of trimming work with the Skil trimmer in LESS time that it took me to do with the hand hedge trimmer.
I have run the trimmer for well over a 1/2 hour with no discharge problem...and the battery usually fully charges in about 3 hours. The only thing I was a bit disappointed in is that it appears that the battery replacement (when needed) cannot be done without taking the trimmer to a Skill repair shop. However...it should last a long time and I will cross that bridge when I come to it.
Some factors influencing my purchase were the Skil name and the fact the battery is Lithium Ion.
I HIGHLY recommend this tool for light duty work.
