Corona GS 6750D ClassicCUT Grass Shear

If you have ever owned a pair of those grass scissor-clippers, the kind that rotates from vertical to horizontal, I think you will like these clippers much better. I had an old pair of the rotating kind, and frankly I gave up on them a long time ago. They didn’t cut much, and then just modest amounts of grass. I still have mine and don’t even know exactly where they are, it’s been so long since I enjoyed their frustrating use.
I just received these Corona Clippers in the mail, and decided to try them out.
They are heavy, but not so heavy that they make my arm tired.
I like the fact that I can switch to the other hand when one arm gets tired, as I’m ambidextrous and it’s real convenient for me.
They will cut most small stuff except for wood. (well, I didn’t expect they’d cut wood anyway)
I like the solid cut they provide, right down to the ends of the blades. You can snip by the ends or cut the entire length of the blade, either works just fine.
The spring is pretty firm, however for a woman I have large hands so it’s not much of a bother for me, but I can surmise that a smaller-handed person might have issues with it.
Anyway, these have more than met my expectations, and I’m a very happy camper. I definitely won’t “lose” these!

Very sturdy, nice and heavy. Just tried them today for the first time. A day vs night difference between these and all other garden clips I’ve used. I will recommend this brand to other gardeners.

I clip shrubs and smaller twigs with this shear. My husband has only given it a sharper edge once.
Clean it after each use, to avoid build-up of gunk on the blades.

All steel with dipped handles. Excellent quality. These will last many years. My last pair walked away so I had to replace them.

Works well for intended purpose. Unsure of durability, but came sharp and purchased sharpening stone for them going forward.

I’ve had trouble with grass shears purchased from box stores being cheaply made and breaking and rusting to the point of becoming unusable, often in a short period of time. I have had outstanding experiences with Corona tools and so I bought this, and I am quite pleased so far.

It is slightly more expensive than most grass shears, but you get what you pay for. This is worth every penny. It cuts smoothly and you can feel the tool is solid. There are no plastic parts that can break, only the handle, which is inessential; the rest is steel, and the mechanism operating hinge and the spring is fully metal too.

One comment, if you are going to do a lot of cutting, you might want to also buy (or instead buy) Corona’s Hedge Shears. You cannot operate those one-handed, and they are a lot heavier, so for small and quick jobs, they’re slower and more cumbersome, but if you’re doing to do something big like edge a whole yard, you will find them much faster and less tiring. These shears are great if you want to clip a small border here and there but aren’t doing a big, extensive job. They also aren’t great for shaping larger shrubs or any area where there is a large area to cover. If I were only going to buy one tool, I’d recommend those hedge shears instead. But I prefer owning a pair of both. These are faster to use more casually, like when I’m doing other work, I can have a pair of these in my bag and bust them out whenever I need to cut a small clump or edge of grass here or there. They’re much lighter-weight than the hedge shears and can be put into a large bag, unlike the hedge shears which are heavy and bulky.

So that’s how I’d assess which one is best for which purposes. Honestly I think every landscaper or homeowner would do well to own a pair of each! The best part is you just buy it once and you will have it for many years…or until you lose it. Seriously I misplace my Corona tools before they ever wear out, not that I lose tools often, just that they’re so well-made they pretty much never wear out.
