Summary: Love it!
Review: The SKIL 8120 was just what I was looking for! If you like to do fine clipping of your shrubs (e.g, boxwoods or topiary) this is the tool for you. Very easy to handle, sharp blade, just the right size. Bought it in June 2009 and the battery is still going strong in October. Beats trying to use a hedge clipper in tight spaces. In a nutshell, just love it! Well worth the money to me.

Summary: Works well for specific purposes
Review: Works best for trimming shrubs that are not too dense or with really hard stems. Works best if you are able to hold the top of stems and cut below -- and it's easier for cleanup too. Lightweight and easy to handle. Not tiring. The cordless feature is great. Great box for storing. I had no problem with the battery charging as others have. The charge lasted long enough for me to do the trimming. I think it lives up to its description.

Summary: Should have had sooner
Review: One of the best tools that we have added to our shed! This is used by my mother and myself, we both have small hands, we have no difficulty in operating the Isio; weight is comfortable and switching blades is easy.
Just love it! Need another one!!

Summary: SKIL Shrub & Grass Shear -- Great product!
Review: I have only used the grass shear (not the shrub shear), which was the main reason I bought the product. Works beautifully, and the battery lasts a lot longer than I expected before it runs out of charge. So far, seems like a product that I can enthusiastically recommend -- at least so far as the grass shear is concerned. The only complaint I have is that the plastic blade guard (to protect against accidental injury when stored away) is flimsy and broke quickly; a minor quibble. Expensive, but worth the price.
