Walensee 41in Double-Edged Scythe, Weed Cutter for Cutting Weeds & Grass

Sturdy, easy to use, works very well. I used on very dense grass and also thick rose type stems, 1/4 inch or more without any problems. Cut very well and blade did not dull. Takes a good whacking without breaking. Highly recommend it

Works well, a little bit more bulky than a previous one I had. Seems sturdy though.

**It is pre sharpened and painted after!** That means you can use it out of the box without exposing the metal and risking rust! **most you need to sharpen yourself** before you can handle any real job It’s a bit heavier than the wooden handled but not by much. The handle joint has some wiggle but is strong. I would have preferred a full length handle or a second bolt for stability but I view that as just a preference. It can easily handle stalky weeds more than a 1/2 inch thick to over an inch thick with some gusto. It will not cut saplings or short grass, but it’s not meant to. Assembly would be very annoying with the wrench provided but at least it’s there and a socket set makes assembly easy.

It is very sturdy for the price you pay however it does not come with any instructions and I almost feel as if some of the pieces did not align quite right and I have to maneuver them quite a bit to get everything together. The design of the product itself works great but the handle is short. I am 5'4" and felt like I had to bend over to use it. It cuts OK despite the blades being sharp. If you have weeds that are thinner, another product might be better. For the tall and thicker weeds, it did work relatively well.

This is a pretty good weed whacker. I would say it cut most of the weeds in the back yard and its worth the money. It is quick to assemble and handy to have around when there are tall weed patches. However, I don't think it takes the place of mowing. It can cut tall grass, but to do that in the whole yard would be a tiresome project, and it can't cut the corners of the yard because you can't swing it there. I also used it on some really tall and tough weeds half my height with thick stalks that I was unable to uproot by hand, and it cut them right down. I swung it like a golf club, or sometimes one-handed like a pendulum as I walked through the yard. I think the handle is the right length because if it were any longer it would be awkward and difficult to swing (and I'm 6 feet tall). The only issue with it is the gripper tends to slide off the handle after several swings, but I just push it back on. Be careful putting it together because the blade can cut you. An Allen wrench is included, and so is a small super thin wrench, but I did not find that very useful. Anyway, it definitely works. It was even kind of fun, but the next day I had a sore shoulder from using it.

Not sharp enough to cut a weed and not designed to pull them out. Not sure what the point of this tool is. I purchased it because it claimed ease of use and effectiveness but this is garbage :( it’s also extremely short so highly UNCOMFORTABLE to use. Waste of money

This whip comes disassembled and there are instructions rolled up in an advertisement for their other products. There are square holes in the metal that correspond to square portions on the bolts included. The tools you need to assemble this are included, but a proper box wrench and allen key would be easier to use than the cheap ones in the box. First, the blade is sharp and when I say sharp I mean sharp enough to hurt you if you don't exercise caution handling it. I recommend using gloves to assemble this product. It took about six minutes to assemble with the included tools. The blade doesn't state which side is up, but the top is the side with the serrations. This whip is heavier and sturdier than the hickory handled whip I own. The proper way to use a whip is to slightly bend at the knees and keep your back straight while swinging with objective of the blade swinging parallel to the ground. I am six-foot-four and was able to swing this with one hand, but the weight caused me to shift hands and for thicker grass I used two hands. The key is to let the whipping action and the weight of the whip do most of the work, this is not a bat and the grass a baseball. Gravity and the weight of the whip and sharp blade will do the work for you. I was able to cut a huge swarth in an overgrown lot in a little under an hour. This thing cut through grass, dandelions, weeds, and small pencil sized branched with little effort. I highly recommend this item, but be warned you will get a workout using it.

This works great for clearing out grass, weeds, and even small bushes/trees. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 star rating is because the handle seems to be made for short people. I'm an average-sized adult male, and this handle is a bit too short for me. If it were like a foot longer or had an adjustable length it would be perfect.

This tool is extremely useful in cutting weeds. At first when I opened the box, I thought something is missing. I would highly advised to read the instructions in assembling the product. It will make sense. This tool is very sturdy and practical for its price. It works effectively. It cuts the poison ivy surrounding my backyard. Saves so much of time and my back. I’m 5 foot and perfect for my height. This tool is a bit short. If you want it higher, you could probably buy extra bar, screw and the lock to connect with it. Highly recommend.

It is not sharp at all, have to repeat again and again and again! I tried both side of the blade ! Very hard to use, waste of money really!

This works great for the areas I can't get at with a ride-on lawnmower. Others mentioned that the handle is quite short - it is. However, I got a grass trimmer handle attachment and it allows me to stand up straight.

This is a solid and durable garden tool. I was extremely pleased with the build quality and it performed well beyond my expectations. If you have a serious section of overgrown lawn this is exactly the product that you need.

It's alright. It's not made to cut grass. It could decently cut some small bushes like salal. The blade just isn't made for grass as it just slips away.
