Scythe Tool,Sickle Garden Tool Long Handle.

If you work with a tool it will tell you what it can and can not do. If you want it to do something and it can't do the tool is not at fault. I am clearing a 1/2 mile trail so I understand what this sickle can do, sickles can cut brush at around 1/4 inch any larger and the stem just bends. It cuts Blackberry bushes perfectly and some thin stem scotch broom. It can cut tall grass if it stays sharp. The longer handle is nice because you can cut bushes farther away from your body which means you are safer. No matter what others have said this is a sturdy sickle. The sickle is very sharp so you must be careful. This sickle will perform as good as any sickle Amazon sells. I now have spent a few hours using it and I think it is great for brush clearing. The handle and blade is strudy and does not flex. The longer handle makes this a very useful tool.

Sharper than it looks, but could be longer. I bought it to relieve back strain, not encourage it. It wouldn't need to be lot longer, but some. Once you get a good rhythm down, it becomes easier to use. But a few extra inches would help. It doesn't need to be a classic mythological Death scythe, just a little longer.

My husband used it one time and the pole bent. Also it does not work like a sickle. Not worth the money!

Sharp works well and cuts tall grass effortlessly. Well built and is excellent

Too weak

This is good unit for small brush and thin branch removal. My only issue is that i wish it was longer. I have to bend down with this to use it because i am 6' 2" tall. Do you have a model with a longer handle i could buy?

I’d give this thing 10 stars if possible .

Part of my disappointment is my fault...I did not read the information carefully enough. I was looking for scythe for a single project...removing some lily pads from one of my bass ponds. I wanted to cut them a couple of feet below the water, thought this would do the trick. It is not really solidly built...but for fair value for the money. It is much shorter than I thought...just a couple of feet. but the angle of the blade makes it ergonomically difficult to use. The blade points straight up, no curvature to the handle, so the only way to cut something like weeds is to hold the scythe low to the ground...virtually parallel to the ground, It might be good for trimming small shoots or branches of of a stalk. Definitely not the right tool for cutting weeds.

Works well, decent product. Still sharp a year later. Even after a few rocks. I would buy again but not sure ill need to for a while.

Please if I order anything more off Amazon please let me know if made in China. China doesn't have quality. Was very disappointed in my order. Cheap quality.

Made clearing my ditch a breeze. Would like to know how to buy replacement blades for the future.
