One mean piece of kit. Well built and able to take a right beating. Holds its cutting edge.
Wouldn’t hesitate to buy another if this one ever failed.
Let the weight of the head do the work, just provide the speed.

I’ve had onefor about 3 years now and it takes a lot for me to recommend something but this is it.
It is incredibly sharp and stays sharp too. The balance and the weight are perfect; it is nice and light.
It is just right for lopping small shoots off branches. Hold the branch with a (gloved) left hand and slice away from you.
Would also be my weapon of choice if the zombie apocalypse comes!

Wondertool for cutting down meadow lawn to a height suitable for mowing and clearing brambles and other woody weeds. Gets into corners the strimmer cant. Definitely my best garden care purchase.

I bought both short & long handled sickles just over two years ago, I bought them in a hurry as I lost one of my old sickles and needed a replacement sharpish(no pun intended!)as I had seen them in a garden centre and couldn’t wait for delivery from online supplier. I’m a Woodland Management Contractor, so carry one with me when checking planted sites out during the year, I carry a round scythe sharpening stone in my truck to keep them sharp. I can honestly say these tools are excellent; light weight, easy to swing on the slash & pull stroke, and they will cut through bramble/brier/tree saplings up to 20mm dia. with no problem. I also have one or two other Darlac tools, which are very good. I reviewed these tools because they have stood up to my use at work. I haven’t been paid for this review.

Let me start by saying if the review was just about the sickle then it would be 5 stars. It’s an excellent tool and does the job.
I’ve given 2 stars because, to my mind, it should come with a sheath or some sort of blade protection. Even if it just had the sort of cardboard thing a handsaw comes in. The blade is lethal and needs to be under wraps when not in use.
