Sharper than the shear and it's truly is as sharp or sharper than a
diamond. It cut's metal like it was cool butter. This branch
trimmer was working perfectly, cutting with easy, all of sudden
it became difficult to open and close as I felt a rough grinding
through the handles as I opened and closed the trimmer. Then all of
sudden it was fine again. I continued to trim a few branches
then all of sudden the grinding again, then easy cutting, then
grinding, then easy cutting this continued for over an hour or so
while I worked in the yard.
After a several of these intermittent
intervals I couldn't open it or close it. Then I could, then I
couldn't then I could, then I almost bent the handles. I
decided to put some WD 40 on it, nope stuck open, then stuck
closed, then it would grind, then it wouldn't. I decided to take a
closer look. As I loosened the bolt a lot of shinny little metal
shavings fell on to the table top. I had some previous experience
with brake rotors having the same problems, so, I am thinking
harassment at this point, of course that needs further explanation.
- I was just informed that the the spring broke in the dishwasher
door, it's time for this updated page. Those bastards. -
Anyway back to the shear you'll notice that the mating surface of
the two pieces are real rough and groves have been ground in a
circular pattern the surfaces should be smooth and burnished, almost
polished, there was no debris or dirt present other than metal
shavings.
