Amen brother! That’s an awesome way to be a blessing others. Especially in times like these when extra money is so hard to come by. Being able to help others just by making normal purchases is brilliant.
It is a pretty awesome head, but I'm glad I got mine before the prices spiked. I paid right at $200, and would honestly do it again as clean as this thing edges. Also, it is built like a tank, and should outlast me so long as I clean and lubricate it regularly.

Hey Pete, been in the lawncare business for about 6 months now. Your channel got me really interested in the industry as a whole. Hope I can find a bossman like you one of these days. The company I work for now is run by profiteers and is a nightmare to work for [10+ year old equipment, no set work schedule, having us PUSH 25k+ properties...]
Dig it. My only fear would be tearing up my concrete sidewalks or damaging the metal blades when edging. Ill stick to my cheap replaceable string method. Otherwise as usual, another excellent informative video.
Hey Pete!! I have only been following you on Y T for a very short time. I don't miss a single video. It must be a God thing but I feel like I have known you forever. You are a good man Pete and I appreciate all that you do. As a brother in Christ, your video's have encouraged me spiritually and as a homeowner you have inspired me and given me some wonderful ideas as well as motivating me to get off my lazy butt and to go outside and get some fresh air, sunshine and exercise more often and work in my yard which has caused me to lose some weight. Keep up the great work!!!😊 May God Richly Bless you and your family and your business my friend.
Looks neat and for sure useful in some sports, but I think about all the chain link fences that would get caught in the scissors. As some have said, not a replacements for a string trimmer, but for sure very cool in certain scenarios.
I picked this exact head up before mowing season started last year, and I have gotten to where I only use it for edging. I mow tall (3.5"+) and trim mostly against barriers rather than above sidewalks. I find a string does a MUCH better job trimming against something like a tall landscape edge, slab, or fence. If most of my trimming was edging against sidewalks, I wouldn't have ever gone back to the string head. I did toss out my edger attachment in favor of this, though, it REALLY shines when edging. I also use it to run a small bevel against the sidewalk edge to ease the visual lines on that grass/concrete transition.
Nice video. How would it cut heavy grass, thicket and over growth around a wood line? Last, I appreciate your assistance for others in times of need and crisis. God smiles on people like you!!!
I have been using the rotory scissors for 2 years and just absolutely love it. It is important to disassemble to clean and sharpen about twice a year. This tool has cut my trimming time down considerably. There is still a need for the line trimmer against wire fencing.
I love my rotary scissors. They work great for getting low cut turf, but the best part is not flinging rocks, sticks or grass! No more painful shin injuries if you're trimming in shorts. Whatever you're cutting just falls right over.
I had a model older than this one that I love. My sister has difficulty with tools that are too heavy and she actually loved mine and found it easy to use th-cam.com/users/postUgkx_rBCFuDW1zD6blTGhLkvAkxU657uR_lG . This is a newer model but was even lighter which she really appreciates. She enjoys it and I no longer have to go to her house to trim as she can handle it fine. Haven't used it enough to comment on the battery life but lithium batteries last longer than the old style. Being cordless makes it easy to trim the far edges of the property. The entire yard can be trimmed with one charged battery.
Nice, effective tool. I think that’s designed for open areas, light brush and edging. It will tear up a tree if you hit the tree. Cutting around a pole like that might damage the tool as well as the pole. With trees, you don’t want to damage the bark on the tree with it, or as you know, you’ll kill the tree. Trees won’t live long without their bark. Two more nice things are, you don’t have to constantly replace string line and have all the plastic string line pieces getting into the environment, two more pluses. 👍🏼
Pete if you order another one of these purchase it directly from Seago International in Hickory. They will not honor the warranty for units purchased from Amazon. Tell them you are a member of the Lawn Care Forum to get their discount. If you are maintaining a golf course lawn you are missing out if you don’t own one of these to do your trimming.
That’s the standard blade on it and not really meant for edging. There is a bigger blade available for edging and also a smaller blade than the standard meant for trimming finer/thinner grass. I love this attachment. I use it on St Augustine; it’s not just for low mowed lawns.
I just had an idea while watching this video. Pete somehow on your GCI website when we are buying product put a box in if people would like to donate to Team Jaxx when purchasing from you where we could do that as well. That would be cool.
Brother Pete, I always love a good rotary scissor review. But man, about made my ears bleed when you went from low talking to firing those scissors up 😩👂🏻🩸
On my thick zoysia, string trimmer tends to lay the grass over if moving slowly, wants to grab and scalp if moving at a moderate speed. Scissors provide much more precise control, better cut quality and are great for beveling/rounding edges. I bought a 2nd FS 70R to have one with scissors, one with string, as string trimmer is best for against brick walls, etc.
This bad boy starts to get really heavy real quick. And my Echo 230 seemed like it was straining. Paired it with the M18 Milwaukee trimmer and it's been golden. Also make sure to oil it periodically with some EP-O grease. Great tool 👍
Hey Pete, I guess I jumped the gun when I asked you last week if you've tried the power rotary scissors. I sure love mine and another thing I've found useful is the Darwin Grip 5.0 which attaches to the shaft and gives a little more leverage and easier on the back. You keep making videos and I'll keep watching.
My questions are. Why go from the cut radius of string to that? And being it's a geared mechanism. How long do you think those gears are going to last?
That attachment is good for one thing and one thing only. Edging something that hasn't been edged in a few years. There is no commercial company in the world that could use that to trim. I appreciate you donating to charity though.
Watching from Easley, SC. Awesome attachment my friend. Been looking for something like this. Thanks for the videos. Also enjoy hearing you lift up God in the process. Praying for you, your family and Ministries. God bless ya my brother in Jesus.
That is the thing missed on this. This makes an AMAZING edger and sculptor... but it doesn't totally replace a string. I use a string against vertical concrete or fence, and use this against any edge that is below the cut line of the grass.
Hey Pete, good demo. I’ve owned mine for a year. I personally don’t use it as an edger. Strictly trimming. Amazing tool and if your not sure it’s worth it, at least try someone’s before your final decision. It is not a quiet attachment. Strongly recommend Bluetooth headphones.
Reciprocating saw (Sawzall) is a single blade that goes in and out quickly against a solid surface like wood or metal. Hedgetrimmer has two cutting blades that go in and out quickly while sliding against each other like scissors do.
I picked one up last year. An NBA executive had a new house built and the back patio is expensive tile. Can't use a regular stick edger next to that tile. Love the rotary scissors, but it is freaking heavy. Use a sling to take the weight
I like your spirit! I'll use the link for Amazon shopping. Is it only for that weedeater head, or does it work for any item, I might purchase through that link?
Nice to see different invitations etc being tested ........but I think the old fashioned trim line is still the best and here's my problems with the scissors. #1.Burning trim/scalping. #2.Getting the grass to lift up. #3.damage fencing,custom edging/sprinkler heads etc,underground fencing for pets lights and you will likely destroy or severely damage them but string line is alot more forgiving and is unlikely to destroy anything like I mentioned. Then the maintenance for greasing and sharpening but I'm super curious about how it would handle tall wet ditches where the grass is thick.
Wonderful tool. Wonder how well it works on heaver weeds. For folks that live on a farm . Or, would work well in a garden, for weeding ? This grass demo is to soft for a real test for the price . Show weeding a road side of different types of weeds. Just curious to see how it goes.
I have been thinking about one of thes this gs for a while, because my hope is that it cuts the grass like scissors instead of tearing the grass like a string trimmer. Maybe it could get rid of the white tipped torn edged grass loomk.
wonder how this works out in the bush where I find myself "weed" wacking a lot? Can it hit honeysuckle ocasional rocks ect. Sorry just skimmed through the video but looks like holding it perfectly horizontal to like cutting hair would be hard to do for a lot of folks over a lot of area. Can it work in high grass weed situations? Thanks for the video and glimpse of this product in action.
I guess that's how some trimmers last forever. That thing has a easy life compared to what I cut . That attachment would double my trimming time. Glad you like it though.
I enjoyed the vid and the install most of all, the charitable reason and what your doing iwith the funds is a noble gesture.👍 I think this item will pay for itself in the long run. I normally do handyman work technically I'm not a landscaper, but I've done some landscaping. This definitely facilitates the task of having to constantly replace the plastic strand again and again. However, The cost reflects its value, I would have felt more comfortable at $90-$150 bucks $240-255 is a bit steep. For me anyways considering I personally don't do enough lawns to justify the cost. It's definitely worth it though if your landscaping all day, everyday, it would make more sence to make the purchase. Thx again 👍
Would you let your crews use this over the stick edger? I can see using this to save time vs using a stick edger for edging and string trimmer for weed eating.
It sounds like an interesting option. I have to cut through grasses that are in some areas over 6 ft tall and 1/8 in. stalks that burn up a lot of trimmer line. But when you have something that it's so expensive that they offer a monthly payment option it looks like it's a little too steep for me.
I have the Redmax reciprocator, I found it used for $300.00 a while back and it was barely used. I think the guy has a second one he is selling, I'm going to have to see if it's still listed.

I like the idea. But not for $250+. That’s absurd. That tool shouldn’t be more than $75
The chinese knock off's will be $75.
Its a great product. Too pricey for now
I just ordered this and a Darwin grip yesterday, birthday goodies for myself.
I like it too but I think I’ll stick to the standard string for $240! 😳

I’m not about speed. I’m about quality. This attachment cuts MUCH MUCH cleaner than any string trimmer I have ever used.
They work awesome, noticed you didn't mention thr ppe. They are quite noisy, which Is what most people comment on.
Looks like it takes longer to do the same thing string does. Think I'll stick to the old fashioned way.
I would line one of those because I hate seeing string laying around on my lawn.
