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
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 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.
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
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🤷🏽♀️
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
@@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.

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!
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
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.
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!
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!
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!
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!
@@TheNeighborDominator i respect it. I’d love to have a lawn this nice but too many other projects always going on. The dogs don’t help and i don’t have patience to go water where they pee every day
@@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.
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!
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.
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.
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
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 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💪🏾👊🏾
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?
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.
Help a girl out…. I’m definitely a girly girl but I love me some yard work and can not stand how my lawn guys edge. After they leave I spend over 2 hours cleaning up all the mess. They miss sooo much and there are grass clippings left in the edge and into my flower beds. Is this clipper hard to handle? Heavy?
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
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.
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’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.
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!
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.
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.
@@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.
All these videos about trimmers and garden attachments seem to be made in the south, like Florida, etc. And in this case, the driveway is concrete and the lawn is level with the driveway. This wouldn't really work well for my driveway (asphalt), and especially so because my lawn rises 5-6 inches above the driveway. I use an Edge-it Pro on an Echo trimmer. I have no pavement either so there's nothing to define a clean line.
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.
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 🤣
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.
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👊🏾

Tanner thank you! My 16 year old Co worker at the pizza shop came up with it🤣🤣
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
For my needs a string trimmer is all I need. Use the extra money for other tools I’ll need for my car. ✌🏻
For sure! Its not for everyone. But this is my hobby. So i go less on my car and more on my lawn toys🤣🤙🏽
Nice voice and sound🥰
I just ordered one! Can’t wait to get it
Did you get the 15% off from seago?

I need to buy an Ego string trimmer
Excellent is Wow nice
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🤣
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💪🏾👊🏾
Seems like that would push your line-up back week after week.
I haven't noticed anything like that. Just a crispy edge😊
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?
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!
How you used B-roll in the first part.
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.
Awesome
Thank you Rob! I really appreciate it!
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. 👍
Great content, thanks.
My pleasure. It is a very nice piece of machinery
Help a girl out…. I’m definitely a girly girl but I love me some yard work and can not stand how my lawn guys edge. After they leave I spend over 2 hours cleaning up all the mess. They miss sooo much and there are grass clippings left in the edge and into my flower beds.
Is this clipper hard to handle? Heavy?
It has some weight for sure and some getting use too (so does anything new). If you were in Michigan I would say come try them out.
@@TheNeighborDominator my neighbors all tease me because I have all the big tools🤣🤣🤣 I am in North Carolina. 😩
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🛠
Nice mower. Allett is money but worth every penny.
I am curious to try a hudson star...
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!
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?
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’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👊🏾
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!
Negate herbicide is amazing for poa.
Thank you🤙🏽🙏
I want one and don't even do yardwork.
Hahahah right. It is pretty neat. Its just another lawn tool to add to the arsenal. Not necessary but nice to have💪🏾
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.
too perfect for me
Habahah thank you sir!
My neighbours trick is to use roundup and edge his lawn and burns about 4 inches of lawn
I have not heard of that method. Does he have a brown ring around his whole lawn!?!
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
Great video as always. Very detailed. When are we going to see the Allett Stirling?
All these videos about trimmers and garden attachments seem to be made in the south, like Florida, etc. And in this case, the driveway is concrete and the lawn is level with the driveway. This wouldn't really work well for my driveway (asphalt), and especially so because my lawn rises 5-6 inches above the driveway. I use an Edge-it Pro on an Echo trimmer. I have no pavement either so there's nothing to define a clean line.
An aphalt driveway is my dream! Im peanut butter and jealous 🤤
How do i use that edger on my Stihl Fs 91R
Excellent 👌👌
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.
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 🤣
Now I’m concerned! I was considering tenacity for my weedy lawn. Do you recommend something else? Why don’t you like tenacity??
I can't stand the bleaching. There is a new one called Sublime and im trying out this ethos product as well
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
Do you have the 9.5 or 11 inch diameter blade? How much was it? Will it work on the Milwaukee Quik Lok system?
@AereForst 9.5. Milwaukee has one similar but it doesnt rotate like this
