As a 34 year old man with 4 kids I can’t believe this is what I watch to relax now a days 😂 dad life!
I'm 40 with 4 kids! I played sports and snowboarded on the regular, and now lawncare at my house is my release 🤣 I feel ya👊🏾
I'm 27 with no kids, a brand new house, overall it's a learning experience for me
It gets worse
@@tylercampbell6365 😂
@@kpath74 the kids or obsession with lawn tools? 🤣
You trim your grass better than my barber trims my hair!
Thank you for the kind words king! I am still learning every day how to fade this lawn🤣
He trims his better than my wife trims her bush
Lol
Incredible. Is there even a point to use the edger attachment on my Ryobi for concrete sidewalk grass edging, or should I just go all in on these rotary scissors? I really think this thing is amazing for getting that part that hangs on the side of the edge that grows slightly taller and it never cuts flush with the mower. So happy I saw this video. Should help put the finishing touches on my hybrid Bermuda lawn.
@Kicking World Kicking Camps that is the big thing for me is the fringe that hangs over. A regular edger just doesnt get it and a string trimmer just isnt clean enough. I would go with these for sure. Make sure to ask for kathyvor scott when you call seago to get the discount. They will confirm thaf it works on your machine. Which i would imagine it does!
Just looked at the instruction manual. You literally have to be a rocket scientist to understand the installation.
Love to see a video on changing over to this. I have zero patience for such things
I can make that happen. It really simple actually, I'm on it
@@TheNeighborDominator Dude I will literally send you me Ego trimmer with the crappy plastic head or the Kobalt with the even worse head. I’m serious.
Let them eat cake! 😝. Looks super nice after your scissor cut. Very tempted to pick one of these up. Your lawn is looking great. Thanks for posting
Thanks Tom! My yard is looking ruff in this video.but thanks! I gave it a shot of nitro and we are looking good now. Next video will show it!
I only wish i could find someone as conscientious as you. Great tip. Thx
Thank you Christine 🙏 It is my hobby I guess. I love coming home to nice landscape. I worked hard to fix up this house, especially the outside. It looked abandoned when I moved in! If you're going to do something, don't half ass it right🤷🏽♀️
Really great and high quality video
That is a crispy edge. I'm picking one up for sure!
$300 ?? ..too crispy for me.
This is a genuinely great video, very concise and to the the point and it touches on some of the realistic hassles I’ve faced with string trimmers not being able to cut while level on the grass. Thank you 👌
Thank you so much🙏🏻 if you are a reel mowing person this tool helps out big time. If you are an edge nut this is the way to go. A little heavy to balance though
I was thinking the same thing when you said it cuts like a piece of cake … I love landscaping
I love landscaping too! It honestly looked like a piece of chocolate cake 🤣🤣
Wow! Looks PERFECT! I'm sold!!
They are legit awesome. If you are a lawn enthusiast and love a sharp edge (edges are my favorite) these are worth it!
Fine video, my brotha from the East side. I really like how you used B-roll in the first part.
I love my Idech. Nothing edges like it. For me with Ryobi, it cuts and edges more aggressive going left to right, so I edge going that way and trim opposite-right to left. Keep the great videos coming!
thank you for the tip my friend. I will try this next time. I look forward to using these every mow.
Great video! That was definitely very persuasive.
it honestly makes me want to take a bite out of the edges when I'm done. I think you could probably trim the bush with these too!
I hooked mine up to the ole Ryobi. Best Fathers Day Gift EVER! Great video Bro 💪🏾🌱
Thanks Rob. They are an elite tool but man are they loud!
Love my Ryobi lawn tools!
Very help full video thank you!
A well edged lawn always looks great. Whether you use a flat shovel, weed eater or edging tool. The gas powered double bladed push edgers were fun to use.
I couldn't agree more. I feel you could have a lawn with weeds but with a good edge...it will make it look good. I still use my manual edger at my parents house!
@@TheNeighborDominator For the pièce de ré·sis·tance......nice tree and sprinkler wells.
@@TheNeighborDominator I can confirm this. I live in an area where proper lawn care is not common and can really feel pointless, as due to neighbors allowing weeds to run rampant, it's impossible to avoid major infestations of clover, Canadian thistle and dandelion. Here we have a lot of bluegrass and tall fescue so really tightly cut lawns are not too common, we are generally better off with a 3"-4" cut, but we can have some nice, rich and plush carpets here.
I've taken back my yard, which got neglected due to frequent long times away from the home and major renovations taking up time and leaving materials all over the yard, which was nasty to the grass. My entire block has nearly 18" overgrowth over the public sidewalks. Since we are done most projects, I started properly edging, and keeping both my lawn and my two next door neighbor's lawns (one the lady died and my other neighbor is just a good neighbor I will help out any way I can). The one side of my lawn was enclosed in railway ties from the old owners and was "maintenance free" (i think it just meant 'we didn't maintain it') and is just mulch overrun with the previously mentioned popular regional weeds, the other side is now becoming more and more manicured, as well as the neighbor's yards. Even though a good portion of our lawns are invested with clover and dandelion (i'm doing my best to round up the thistle network entirely) the edging makes a world of difference. Especially compared to the sidewalk where I stopped edging and all the overgrowth is still there. The weeds are much less of an eyesore in the scope of things. That will be a project for next spring.
Good presentation. Thanks for the demonstration, and review.
Not a problem. I swear by this tool. It's one of my favorites out of the arsenal
Nice edge … I can buzz quickly over my edges with the Worx GT and it’s amazingly clean lines & super fast. The wheel is the key.
I will have to check this out! I just love these scissors though my man!
Good demonstration! Very instructive!
Thanks Robert! I am not a teacher of any sort🤣. I appreciate the compliment
It’s all in the details. That mower is cool.
Yes it is. The details will set you apart from the others. Thank you
Thanks for info!
Good video thanks!
I just looked this up. It currently lists from $270.00 to $370.00 dollars. I'll stick with my weed trimmer. That's good enough for Bahia.
agree - cost is always a factor
Beautiful lawn mowers . I’ve been using a couple of manual reel mowers this year and my lawn looks amazing.
It's unbelievable what a cylinder mower can do with that scissor cut. I use my earthwise and great states inn between mows all the time. The look is amazing.
Excellent 👌👌
Nice Clint! Going to put some thought into getting one
they are worth it for sure but people suggest to get the darwin grip to help with back issues. I have a small lawn so it doesn't bother me. but bigger yards for sure
I use edging shears in my garden in the UK and my wife says I am truly obsessed with edging my lawn as she never finds grass that sticks out or up, but you do a fabulous job on yours
I appreciate your kind words! My wife thinks I'm a nut. Stripes are cool, but a sharp edge separates you from everyone else

@@TheNeighborDominator I certainly have to up my striping game. I can get nice straight lines but never have that clear light/dark pattern that i see on a lot of lawns.
😮 beautiful job !!!
Thank you! I love these things!
Good video carry on ✌️
Natural video✌️✌️
Never seen a lawn care professional or crew with one of these
Those people are for speeed. These are not that. Thats for sure!
That is beautiful!!
Thank you! This tool is not necessary but if you are a lawn nut like me it's a must have! Thanks for watching!
To get into tight areas, try using it vertically. Works well most times.
This is really cool man thanks a bunch!!
Not a problem. My pleasure trees!
Man I'm jealous of where you live, on the water, etc... NICE! Your neighbors across the street could use some street-edging, lol! Immaculate yard!
Thank you for the kind words 🙏 i will go knock on my neighbors door and tell him to get his act together🤣
Crisp edges. I'll definitely have to pick one up.
I learned a lof from this video
I like this content👍👍
I didn't know this tool existed! Thank for the video!
No problem Shirley. It can handle a beating. Ive seen videos of people taking down surface weeds in the cement cracks. If you call seago and ask for kathy or scott they will tell you what trimmer it fits and give you a discount

Great video. I just ordered one from Seago, thanks for the discount code! $255 shipped is way better than anywhere else! Now I need to buy an Ego trimmer :).
I appreciate it my friend. You won't be disappointed. It works on a lot of trimmers and they can tell you all the ones It works on. I have only used it on the ego and I love it!
Great content, thanks.
My pleasure. It is a very nice piece of machinery
Just received mine. I am excited.
I am excited for you. It takes a minute to get used to it. It can run away a little.but once you adapt, its the best!

I just ordered one! Can’t wait to get it
Did you get the 15% off from seago?
How much was it with the discount?
@@l1tseddo331 I believe it's 255 with shipping
You are looking wow❤️
Gotta have it!!! I have ZEON Zoysia...this will elevate my game.
Hell ya. I know its a little expensive but it is well worth it if you love lawncare. If you use my link and call up seago, kathy and scott are amazing and using the tnd15 gets you a nice discount!
I'm thinking of moving from my Craftsman gas Edger to battery but heard this attachment eats up the battery? Thoughts and recommendations of a trimmer? I only have 3k sq ft yard.
Sold and subbed!
You will love it! Make sure to talk to kathy or scott at seago. They will tell you what it fits to make sure you don't waste your money. Plus give you a good discount! I appreciate you💪🏾👊🏾
Excellent is Wow nice
I have the same setup. I have mixed feelings on them. They work great however still need to use the string trimmer up against surfaces after using the scissors. I need to take mine apart and clean. I put to the test and cut all the tall grassy like plants under one of my trees. I scalped the area to the dirt and let me tell you how gunked up and sticky they are. 🤣 They did a great and fast job for sure. Might even grab a set up new blades to have on hand. I do cringe when I hit the brick retaining wall but watching your video made me realise it's nothing to sweat.
I still use my string trimmer. I will always have one but for my edges I use this thing. I love how it cuts the little bits of grass that hang over. I swear, it looks like a piece of chocolate cake when I'm done🤣 I do know what you are saying about the brick though. Like nails on a chalk board!
@@TheNeighborDominator yes; I was concerned at first but doesnt seem to hurt the scissors. Have a great Holiday. 🍻
Edge looks great but can I ask why you're turf is sitting so high above the concrete? You're soil level should be graded to ½"-¾" under so you don't have overgrowth
Awesome
Thank you Rob! I really appreciate it!
Nice voice and sound🥰
Love mine so far. You posted this two days to late, I just paid full price for mine 🤣
oh well, they are worth the money. there will always be haters on these but if you can afford them, they are worth it!
Great info! Thanks. When you hold it flat it almost looks like it gliding hard to know…
Here is a little trick. For the attachment with a center punch put a hole on the opposite side of the attachment. With a drill bit of course. Now you can flip the attachment in a more comfortable position. I did this same trick on my weed walker attachment. So the motor sits flat vs having to go vertical.
very good video
Thank you very much. The product gives the best edge I've ever seen!
I need to buy an Ego string trimmer
All the way from Australia 🇦🇺 here... Have just bought my ego and scissors.. I edge with it also and love the cut.
2 questions... Are you worried about the sharpness of the blades before needing to replace with always edging. And getting sand between the blades?
Also do you still use your actual ego Edger now that you have the scissors?
I have had these for 1 years and haven't had an issue. My yard is 80%sand and 20%dirt and get sand in it. I've watched some foreign videos on this thing and they beat the heck out of it, grinding on cement, under water, etc. Mine is still sharp. I just make sure to give it a little cleaning after every use and keep it lubed up!
Thats a nice spot where you live, all the best from Sydney Australia
Thank you from michigan. You have the ego rotary blade there. They wont being it to the states. How much for you to ship me one🤔
@@TheNeighborDominator ill check it out
send me a link to it if you can
That edge is so crispy that it's almost a trip hazard 😋
Hahahah thankyou. I am going to get signs made that say that🤣🤣
For those on a budget you can get a similar edge with a string trimmer and edging shears. Takes more effort, but it is significantly cheaper 😉
I am terrible with the string trimmer. Just an absolute hack🤣🤣💪🏾
If I use my string trimmer, it kicks up bits of decaying concrete and breaks windows. Now I use a straight flat shovel.
@@emmettbrown6418 i do that to my garden beds sometimes. It works great💪🏾
I suck with it too. This thing makes it so much easier!
@@emmettbrown6418 low speed and trigger control are key. Also finding a way to get your head at as close to 90 degrees as possible. I personally find that standing in the grass and facing the concrete makes it much easier to find your spot. Once you find your spots, it gets a lot easier.
I also like a good hand edging hook. Fiskars makes a good one.
My daddy taught me that anytime I use any kind of cutting scissor tool with dirt involved it will dull and damage the blades. So, do these rotary scissors not dull when you use them thru dirt?
How you used B-roll in the first part.
Lol theirs always those people who want to take a magnifying glass & make something so simple so intricate. 😂
Yes. I agree 100%vv and I'm that man when it comes to my edges🤣
Great vid does it dull quick with it being in the dirt a lot or can you resharpen?
I have never re sharpened. I can look into it. But the one I used in this video I had all last season and beat it up bad. The thing still cut my finger the other day!
I took the time to lower the dirt at the edge about 2 inches, and taper it back about a foot into the lawn. When I mow the edge, I lower the mower all the way to 1 inch on the side where the wheels are on the concrete, and leave the other wheels at regular height that are on the lawn. I almost never have to edge anymore!
That is genius! My mind is blown. You should share that with world. Make a video on that one!
Yes sir 👍
Two questions: Do you use the 9.5" model or the 11"? Also, I have a EGO ST 1520S with a carbon fiber shaft, will this work on that? Thanks.
I have the 9.5. I cannot be sure if it works on that. It needs to be a straight shaft and the head needs to be able to come off. If you call seago and ask for cathy or scott they know which ones it will fit on. They are great people and if you mention this video or tnd they will give you a hefty discount!
I have been looking at those but just got the torro edger this year so maybe next year. I'm not good with a string trimmer upside down either
That is what I did before and could not get an accurate clean edge. I've been through a handful of edgers and have found ego and toro to have very nice ones. But the fact that these cut the strands while edging making it the cleanest cut. The only downside is the price but seago was cool enough to hook my viewers up with a 15% discount. The Toro gives a very Clean edge.
I just purchased last week and it looks sturdy BUT I won’t be edging the grass by the sidewalk as it’s going to dull way to fast and I’m not sure how much it would be to sharpen all those teeth
I've been doing it for a year and hitting my seawall and house and the damn thing still nipped me last week putting the cover on. I'm telling you, they are indestructible 🤣
thx. for the video. I did not even know that there was a thing called 'rotary scissors'. Can that thing replace 'String Trimmer' completely (apart from those edges that you showed) - can it be used for trimming brushes and overgrown lawn?
Good for over grown lawn. It isnt meant for shrubs. But i still have a string trimmer. Its really good for people who reel mow or want a ridiculously nice edge
I wish my lawn looked like the “Before Picture”… #WHYSOSERIOUS 😂🤣😂🤣
Thank you. I appreciate that very much. I'm always trying to be better
I’d like to see how you take care of those blades? Ives tried a similar stihl device and it’s works great at first, then the blades get dull, that can’t really cut.
I will do a video on it👊🏾
Does that attachment fit the ego 56v power line bump and feed model.
I cannot be certain. I want to say it only works on straight shafts or attachments. Not collapsed ones. But i could be totally wrong tbh. If you call seago and ask for kathy or scott, they will be able to tell you everything it fits on
Hey, what about the stihl rg km and the one you have? can I use the same angles with a stihl kombi system?
What do you mean by angles?
What size sleeve did you use for the Idech install? I know this is an old post, but I'm installing the idech power scissors and there are two sleeve adapters, 25mm and 25.4mm. I have found one video that says use 25mm and one that says 25.4mm. Thanks.
I will look when I get home
@@TheNeighborDominator great, let me know!
It’s basically a round hedge trimmer blade if you keep hitting it up against the cement like that it’s going to wear out the teeth and you’re gonna have to sharpen it at some point probably the best thing to use is like a Dremel
I don't hit it on the brick I was just showing that I have before with no issue. It is basically a round hedge trimmer blade and its awesome. I will look up this dremel you speak of
You spoke so fast that I didn’t catch the name of this thing. I live in the south, L O L.
Lol. Sorry. They are the idech rotary scissors. Good for trimming if you reel mow and they give the best edge. They are the cheapest at seago. If you call, Cathy or Scott can tell you if they fit on your trimmer and mention this video or tnd and they will give you a hefty discount!
Does it hit rocks and sends them flying? Asking for a friend that’s broke a couple windows with the string trimmer
🤣🤣🤣 No, not at all. It doesn't spin as fast as a string trimmer. The string almost acts like a sling shot. None of that going on here👊🏾
I can get a same exact crisp edge. With a string trimmer.
Can you get a better edge with a string trimmer than an edger?
Will this attachment work on Stihl FS38 curved shaft trimmer?
Not sure about the curved shaft. Monday if you call seago and talk with kathy or scott they have the list of products it is compatible with.
How would the EGO edger work to maintain your live edge?
Honestly haven't tried it. But the stragglers are would bother me. To get that clean look those loose pieces of grass dont get cut with the traditional edger
What a dog love the name of the channel
Tanner thank you! My 16 year old Co worker at the pizza shop came up with it🤣🤣
will this work with a milwaukee yard set with quik-lok system?
If you call up seago and ask for Kathy she can tell you every machine it will work with. It most likely will but can't be certain. The number is in the video description. She is delightful.
Hands down the best tool to accompany reel mowing and best tool for edges ever made! Great vid brotha! DOMO ARIGATO Maruyama!!!!!! 😂😊🙏🏾🤙🏾
I do love these the most out of everything I got. more than the allett. it is just a great tool to have in the arsenal. Thanks for Commenting brah
Have you developed a groove in your top housing? I see you touch the edger to the concrete. I have a groove in mine that is wearing away. Just wondering your experience.
I will look when i get out of work
You could totally retro fit a roller blade wheel in that thing to set your height.
That is a good idea! I don't know if I ha e the skillz to pull that off🛠
Maruyama were the first to produce rotary scissors there a lot more expensive though. But if you compare them, the designs are almost identical except idech only sells a head that you retrofit only any straight shaft, the Maruyama comes complete ready to attach to the multi tool.
Hi, an Aussie fan here. A change of topic here. I have a Liberty 43. I noticed you using one of those and a Stirling. I'm not 100% happy with the Liberty, it does OK, and my lawns look really good, but there are a few things like the quality of the build and the plastic parts. It is a bit light and this caused the back roller to spin when engaging the drive. Do you find the Stirling a better unit, and is it worth the extra money? Or are you happy with the Liberty
I loved the liberty. I wish it was a little heavier but I feel a grooved roller would have helped tremendously with the floating and traction problems. The Stirling is a premium machine and love it but the price does hurt the bank account for sure. But for a new machine and the width of cut it is reasonable in my opinion. Especially with the quick cartridge exchange. But this are expensive too. If you are committed then that machine is priceless!
I actually made a grooved roller for my Liberty. That helps a lot. I have noticed people putting a weight on the other side to even the cut. I might try that. May look into the Stirling next year. Just wanted to make sure it was better and worth the money
@D S I feel it's worth the money. Or a used gm1000. As far a battery goes though the Stirling takes it. If you have a little extra you should look at dennis mowers. That is my dream
Negate herbicide is amazing for poa.
Thank you🤙🏽🙏
What size Scissor head do you use or what would you recommend
9.5 inch head is what i use. It does the trick🤘
when edging dont the blades get blunted and they are cutting through the dirt as well ?
Ive had them for almost 3 years now and they are still sharp. The amount of dirt that come out is no more than a regular edger. I've put these through hell and they are still sharp.
Does Dewalt have their own rotary scissors for the 60v weed whacker?
Not that i know of but the Milwaukee does and stihl does. But they are reciprocating instead of rotary. So one side will get dull faster
Are you using the blades that came with it? Or the upgraded blades that are larger diameter?
Nice tool
Using the stock blades that came with it. These bad boys cut through everything!
I keep my chain drive side on the inside when getting to the edge. 😉
I'm going to have to try that! I appreciate it! 🤣
@@TheNeighborDominator I forgot to mention you might want to use your catch basket to prevent clippings from going into flowerbed. 👍
Still love the product? How often do you have to sharpen the blades?
The difference is pretty staggering. I feel it may be too easy to have a runaway cut with edging, but after practice I think I could make it work.
Absolutely love it. I haven't sharpened in almost two years and it cuts like butter. But i maintain my edges so it doesn't get very dull.
@@TheNeighborDominator would you recommend for commercial use?
To be clear, small business right now, 30 residential customers, so nothing too too crazy.
My thoughts are this would be GREAT for mulch bed maintenance and installation. That alone would be a good ROI I feel, but I’d also practice with it for an edger on my more high maintenance customers.
@HankEPanky it is heavy. You would want a darwin grip or a strap for support. I would say its good for high end edging but if you are maintaining a height of cut at an inch or lower this attachment is money. But is it his higher than that, a strong trimmer is faster and lighter.
Just to be completely honest
Can you connect it to an ego extension pole?
Extention pole as in what the weed trimmer is on? Then yes!
I have a Fiskar Max Sharp reel mower and it's beautiful except when you have weeds that grow tall really quickly, as the adjustment bar pushes them down and they don't spring back into the blades, meaning you have perfectly manicured grass, and a bunch of tall weeds. Shame too, it's an amazing mower. Those power reel mowers look amazing though. I will definitely be looking into adding those scissors to my arsenal though.
That said, i find that starting with an edger is key, it brute forces that nice gap between the lawn and concrete, which then you can keep clean with a string trimmer. Especially when dealing with heavy overgrowth that will do nothing but tear up your string.
A tip for string edging is to kind of stage with the spindle at rest, and use a slower speed so you can see your strings, and stand on the grass when possible and/or safe to do so, that way you are cleaning up the inside of the concrete and minimizing any digging with the string. Once you're spotted, just slowly walk in whatever direction you intend to, I find that moving in the same direction as the string is pushing material is best but sometimes not possible. Also, don't buy cheap string.
Definitely don't buy cheap string. I am not a fan of using a string trimmer to edge. I can do it but the results are not as clean as this tool. I'm a nutball about edging. I do agree starting with an edger to establish the space but after...this saw blade is killer💪🏾
@@TheNeighborDominator Oh yeah those scissors look like an amazing tool, I was just saying, I've picked up some pretty good tricks to get some pretty mint edges. That said, a lot of grasses up here don't do well with a really tight cut, I think the rye grass does alright but that's almost a placeholder until whatever it is mixed with takes root, to help prevent weed infestations. I love the trick for leveling out the grass near the walks though. the lump left by mowers due to the wheels being on concrete and not the dirt drive me nuts and that makes a much cleaner cut than trying to keep string level.
I have 2 questions I want to ask.
First, since tenacity ain't it, did you find a go-to weed killer that wont harm grass?
Second, I don't have a reel mower but I'm curious how you can mow so low and grass still looks green? Is there a trick to keep it green that short?
One, I'm working on finding the right one. I used Tenacity to stunt poa but am looking at finding a killer that doesn't cost 500$
2nd, you have to train the lawn. When you cut it short it will be lighter in color. But if you stick with it, the yellowing will go away, and the grass learns it's new height.
You have to stay on top of it though, you let it get long again, you start the process over again! Hope this helps
@@TheNeighborDominator thank you!
What kind of mower it that?? Can that mower be used in Texas grass??
It is a reel mower "cylinder mower". They are mainly used to cut putting greens and fairways. I golfed competitively when I was younger and always said when I got myvown house I wanted a fairway for a lawn. So I did🙂
It is an excellent tool for edge trimming. However, my 25cc trimmer could not handle the spin of the blade. I need to purchase a 58cc or 72cc weed wacker to connect it to.
This is fantastic information. Thank you for sharing! How did you find this out?
