Hi, Does anyone have any recommendations for edging shears for someone only 5' tall? Thank you.

    You may get some ideas from Fred - have a look at this page - toward the bottom.

    You can send Fred an email and he'll helpfully reply in no time.

    I find his recommendations are excellent and he's a really helpful guy.

    I think mine would suit you. I'm 6ft tall and I have to stoop to use them. Ditto spades, forks etc.

    Presumably you mean the long handled ones???  I am 5'5'' and find the Spear and Jackson ones ok but maybe that extra 5 inches makes all the difference???

    You could try wearing 5" platform shoes and borrowing hogweeds shears image
