The 4-inch grass shear blade is perfect for light trimming around garden beds, sidewalks, and other areas where a lawnmower or string trimmer cannot reach.

• Hold the tool comfortably, positioning the grass shear blade parallel to the ground.
• Use a gentle back-and-forth motion to trim grass along edges or in tight spaces.
• Be careful not to cut into soil or hard surfaces, as this can dull or damage the blade.
