Stens New Power Rotary Scissors 385-581 Compatible with Idech ASK-MW23, Black

Product Information

I already had the Stihl RG-KM connected to a KM131R power head. I was curious about the Stens, so I bought one to compare. Short answer: they both work great, but with some tradeoffs.

ECHO’s rotary scissor brushcutter attachment uses a 20:1 reduction ratio gearbox and two contra-rotating blades that ‘snip’ the grass or brush – just like a pair of scissors. BENEFITS OF USING A LANDSCAPE BLADE/SCISSOR HEAD ATTACHMENT The Stens is cheaper, and parts are available at a known cost. It is loud and soaks up a lot of power. btw I oil the blades of these units before and after I use them. I suspect that the Stens will quiet down as I use it more.Scissors are a tool that we are all generally familiar with. On the other hand, a rotary cutter is a brand new cutting motion that we will have to get comfortable using. After the knife-edge gets dull, fabric scissors can easily get sharpened at home with basic sharpening stone or professionally sharpened in local stores or by the manufacturer. Disadvantage of Fabric Scissors

When cutting, fabric scissors are great for small curves and cutting details with tight angles. On the other hand, rotary cutter is perfect for cutting long straight lines and wide curves. Scissors are frequently used so you won’t need to get familiar with it like you would with relatively new tools such as rotary cutters. And it is a lot less expensive compared to rotary cutters. For almost all types of trimming and cutting jobs, fabric scissors are considered the gold standard. They work well for cutting out tight curves and straight lines in any fabric. Fabric scissors are great for detailed cutting, but the hand will tire after extended use. Rotary cutters are perfect for cutting long straight and curved lines with ease, however you will need a durable ruler to maintain an accurate cutline. Depending on whether you’re cutting fabric, thread, or paper, there’s a pair of scissors that is perfect for your needs. That said, some scissors are designed specifically for certain crafts. For example, embroidery scissors are designed with small, intricate thread-snipping in mind; consequently, their blades and tips are smaller and often more precision-oriented than those on other scissors. If you’re unsure about the type of scissor to buy, or you anticipate using a single set of scissors across a smattering of craft types, consider a pair of general craft scissors, like Scotch Precision Scissors, which are designed for cutting fabric, paper, and more.Furthermore, selecting the best sewing scissors that cuts every fabrication, maintains a sharp edge and offers high-quality long-lasting warranty is the key to succeed. It is always preferred to have scissors handy while for cutting the notches and fine features. The rotary cutters on other hand fail to work well on the little details like this.
