True Temper 2942600 Grass Whip with Double-Edged Serrated Steel Blade for Easy Trimming and Cutting

Marion Hack: Got this to clear out our Arizona hunting camp lot, which was full of desert grasses and bushes. I was pleasantly surprised how well it worked. Would recommend highly. Good price, sturdy handle, easy to use.

LarryLarry: I really love this grass whip. Was able to remove large sections of wild grasses in just a few minutes. The handle was a bit slippery so I did have to wrap some self adhesive bandaging around it, was much better using it after that.

Amazon Customer: For cutting grass

Arlene: I am very excited to try this as I have a big vacant land that I haven't maintain for months. I am 5'1, the handle is just right for me. At first, I find the handle heavy. It is a good work out if you want one. It sure get the work done. I get the rhythm in the end of swinging it right and left. The blade is good. I just have to make sure to maintain it. Will be using it for those pesky weeds.

Bill Shepherd: Easy to use but not for tall grass and very flimsy

Allison: The handle broke right where the bolts are the first time I used it on some weeds. The blade is sharp enough, but I couldn’t believe that the handle broke!! My neighbour fixed it by putting fiberglass over the entire section where the bolts go through the handle, so that has fixed it. The handle is also very short. I’m 5’9” and my back gets tired from bending over to whack the weeds at their base. My opinion is that it’s not worth the money.

LadyT: Okay, I'm no stranger to hard work. I know this required some elbow grease and I was fine with that. I am going to share that I am left-handed. Why would that even matter? I have learned the hard way that most tools from scissors, knives (I have the cutest butter knife that is tooled on the wrong side for me), and garden tools are designed and tooled for the right-handed among us. I am quite handy and love DIY-ing but tools with blades often aren't my friends. The angle and sometimes position of the blade is wrong for me.

This grass whip is okay. I tried to take all the lefty stuff into account, but it still has some major drawbacks. It has a weird grip. Like, I couldn't keep it gripped. It flew out of my hands a couple of times. This was better when I bare-handed it but I was left with torn skin because the handle design is *not* ergonomic...at all. When I wore gloves, I couldn't get a good grip for the life of me. So, I went with blisters...

The blade is dull. I didn't try to sharpen it. It does cut, but takes a *lot* of swings to get the job done. I had to work hard even on light grass density. I didn't even bother with the back areas of my yard that are much more...

MA Reviewer: 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!

Scott: 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.

Alex FinkAlex Fink: This is an excellent tool for clearing weeds and light brush growing in shady areas of your property. You will be very happy with the speed and ease with which you can clear knee-high annual weeds, small vines, young thorny briars, and first-year saplings with this tool. It is easier than breaking out a gas-powered brushcutter for small tasks. This is not a scythe, however, and thus it is not ideal for mowing or cutting tall, thick grass growing in full sun.

How to use:

You should wear gloves and eye protection when using this sort of tool. Keep spectators back as, obviously, you are swinging a blade around and could inadvertently sling objects.

Prepare your work area by clearing fallen limbs and cuting up thick diameter woody vines (over a few millimeters) growing in the area. Make sure that there are no hidden rocks, stumps, metal, or similar non-cuttable items present that could damage your tool and cause you to strain or injure yourself.

Hold the tool like a golf club with the blade parallel to the ground and make smooth (not aggressive) pendulum-like swinging motions, as if you were practicing a golf stroke with a sand wedge. Do not reel up as if...
