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.

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).

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.

Thanks, William I really appreciate that.

Great review and you touched on some things others haven’t, good job!

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.

I have the PAS225. Works just fine. 👍

I need this in my life! Great video, Jimmy.

Those power scissors look great! I would love to give them a try!

Expensive game changer 😂

Such a good video man i cant wait to buy mine !!!

So glad that I made the purchase, and yes it is loud....

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.

First Aussie 😁. Jimmy, another great review video. 😎👍👍

Excellent video! Taking care of your lawn in general is an investment, but as you said, reel mowing takes it to a whole new level!

@@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?

Thanks for the video, the idea to get two separates equipment is not bad. I will consider it at some point!

This is the one tool I couldn't live without now.

Just got some for Father's day!

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.

Holy cow am I first? Thanks for the rotary segment. The grease is a must.

I’ve been wanting these for a year and keep going back and forth on what to do

Just pull the trigger they are awesome. I do all my edging with them as well. I also put them on a milwaukee string trimmer.

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?

3 seasons using mine and I've never greased it lol. Also treat it like poop. Edge with it and have used it to cut roots haha great tool.

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.

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 really want to get these… like bad! I’m debating whether I should jump in or just kill off the edges in my backyard that need string trimming.

Would these be any good for clearing tall grass/weeds?

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

Hey Jimmy, over your right shoulder in the beginning part of the video, are those hydrangeas or some sort of rhododendron? The pinky flowers.

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.

The good part is that you just need to buy the extension adapter for the Milwaukee string trimmer and add the scissors to the extension 🙂

Really great to use against fences and around pools since it doesn't throw grass and beat things up like a string head.

We’ll shoot. I just watched it back again and there’s action at 1:24. Even an oddly satisfying slow motion clip.

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: kzread.info/dash/bejne/mGqGpNxrk6-also.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
