AMES True Temper 2942600 Grass Whip with Double-Edged Serrated Steel Blade with 38 in. Hardwood Handle

Best golf swing trainer ever.

Ah - a little bit of nostalgia included with each purchase. I remembered it in my parents tool shed and thought I have to have one as well. It’s very effective at cutting smaller areas of overgrowth that may include blackberry vines and something similar, but it certainly isn’t a replacement for a weedeater. That said, it’s of obviously good quality, just the right weight for a good swing yet not so heavy that you can’t swing it with just one hand and a gentle swinging motion. You certainly wouldn’t want to be doing large areas because it is simply too time consuming.

The bad:If the grass is large enough it'll leave small grass stubs with pointy tips that can jab your legs.Is too fun to swing around and it's easy to get lost in the moment; potentially harming good plants.Not good for cutting lawns.The good:Out the box it's very sharp and easily cuts through grass clumps.Also cuts through small branches (About half an inch thick).Can cut tight areas that normal grass cutting tools can't.Can also be used to clear aside the grass it cuts with the inside area of the tool with a scooping motion.Doesn't require hot and heavy protective gear.Pretty cheap.Overall: It's a great tool for clearing large areas just as long as there isn't any rocks or trees or anything you can accidently hit it on. It's too large to be used by children or teenagers properly as the blade will hit the ground rather than the grass at the proper angle. It's serrated on both sides so you can swing both directions. I have used all sorts of grass cutting tools, but this is by far the most fun and useful.Side note: Its sharpness and long handle is very dangerous so make sure you leave room between the user and those around them.

Schon beim ersten Grasbüschel versagt – Dieses Gerät hat wenig mit den viel gelobten Grasschneidern zu tun, denn die Schneide ist nicht scharf genug und kann nicht nachgeschärft werden. Auch der lange Transportweg (Taiwan – USA – Europa) ist nicht zu rechtfertigen. Die internationale Retoure führt außerdem dazu, dass nicht der volle Preis erstattet wird.

This tool is great for cutting down long grass in ditches and other areas when you don't want to bother starting up the weed eater. You need room for a swing so it doesn't work well in confined spaces.

I didn't know what a "grass whip" was -- I had actually been searching for "scythe." But I found this and decided to give it a shot. Turned out to be a good purchase.The blade is not sharp. At all. You could probably drag your tongue across it and be fine. This worried me at first. But it does have dozens of narrow gaps between those round bumps. So if you swing fairly hard, you get some cutting action, and then grass and weeds get stuck in those gaps, and get pulled out by the force of your swing. And it's 2-sided, so you can go back and forth and do some good damage pretty quickly.I've had good success with all soft plants, including 6-foot tall pokeweed that has a 1-inch trunk at the base. It won't work with anything even slightly hard, like tiny maple saplings, etc. But I only need to clear soft stuff. You have to swing pretty hard at times, so you'll get an arm workout, but I need the exercise anyway. So this purchase was a good fit for me, and it seems very durable. Thanks to everyone involved in getting it to me!
