A great pair of grass shears should be easy to hold, have a comfortable handle, and allow you to cut with minimal effort. These tools should also be lightweight and easy to store when not in use.

Shears that are too heavy or balanced may cause strain or injury to the wrist. They should be made of a lightweight material and should be adjustable so you can hold them with one or both hands.

The blades should be smooth to the touch and have a sharp cutting edge. This helps you to make a clean cut and keep your shears in good condition.

If you use shears regularly, it’s important to give them a thorough cleaning after every use. Sap and plant debris can cling to the blades, so it’s best to wash them with warm water.

The blades of shears can get rusty over time, so it’s important to use a WD-40 or other rust inhibitor after each use. Lastly, be sure to rinse the shears with warm water and dry them thoroughly before storing them.
