Excellent tool, on my second because I didn't maintain the first one properly. $130 here in Europe,. They don't spit grass all over the house like a strimmer, the grass falls where it is cut. Very precise, and this time I'll make sure I grease it properly every 4-5 garden cuts (25 hours).
I can confirm they are pretty loud. It was definitely noticeable when I visited last year. The trade off is they do work great. Looks really clean when you're done.
How do we have a 10 minute long video about power rotary scissors that doesn’t show how they were connected and setup, how much they cost (after saying they are expensive several times) or even shows them in action with the sound on (after mentioning that they are loud)? Not a lot of info in this one Jimmy.
You always give solid reviews on different tools and products that are on the market. We in the lawn care community really appreciate that. We also appreciate your honesty in your reviews. Thanks for how you do things on your channel and keep up the great work.
This is a gentleman's tool - designed elegantly for the enthusiast who values detailing. Even with rotary mowing, the scissors have multiple applications. Great for a sharp beveled cut around a garden bed or tapering the transition between different heights of cut.
@@JimmyLewisMowsDo you use the Rotary Scissors at the same frequency that you Reel Mow? For example if you Reel Mow 2x/Week would you also Rotary Scissor the Edges 2x/Week? Or could you get away with Reel Mowing 2x/Week and only using the Rotary Scissors once a week?
The reason why some battery weed whackers have the motor at the end of the shaft is efficiency. Quite a bit of energy is lost spinning a shaft from the top of the unit.
Great review Jimmy and sweet set up. I have the Stihl Combi and have been debating on these. I think I’m still going to pass since my front and back are all TTTF.
Also it’s heavy. This thing gives me a good workout on the chest muscles. Maybe on the Milwaukee setup it looks shorter. On my Ego Combo it’s perfect. I like that grip tho 😎🤘🏼
I recently purchased a darwins grip along with a rotary scissor. My problem is if turn the rotary scissor on its side to edge, the darwins grip get in the way. How do you deal with that problem? I think I almost have to invest in another trimmer. One to be dedicated to the rotary scissor and one for a string trimmer that I can use the darwins grip on. Your thought's?? Thanks for your info you put out. Good job
I don’t edge with mine. I use Toro’s 60V stick edger for sidewalk/driveway edges and my string trimmer on curbs and natural edges. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vQZJqSDSWCM.html
great video....two questions: can I buy the electic battery milwaukee power stick without the string trimmer and what do you use to edge along drive/sidewalks....does the milwaukee accept an edger attachment?
Hey Nate. If you're looking at the pink flowers near the fountain, those are knockout roses. They're awesome. Only downside is they don't have a scent to them.
Jimmy: I’m running the same setup but I can’t work out how to mount my scissors in the correct orientation with the Milwaukee unit, my head is perpendicular to the body. Please reveal your magic!
Thank you for the review and for mentioning the grip attachment. Currently doing my due diligence ahead of purchasing one of these. I see a number of reviewers complaining about how tiring it can be to use the rotary scissors on longer jobs. The manufacturer says the "bottom disk is designed to rest on the ground and prevent scalping" - have you attempted this? Maybe it didn't work? Would you mind commenting on this? Here is a video from the manufacturer giving this thing an absolute beating while mentioning the bottom disk should sit on the ground: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-f6RBz2cL4fg.html And here is a brochure that says "just place on the ground" www.idech.co.jp/cwp/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Power-Rotary-ScissorsV.pdf
