Spear & Jackson 5253PK Enhanced Telescopic Patio Knife

I bought this to cut vegetation in and around my small pond. I have spinal chord damage so my balance and core strength are poor. This has proved very capable for that purpose. It is very light to use one handed. Appears good quality. The blade is very sharp and even managed to cut through 12mm thick hard fibrous stems. The ability to alter the length with a simple twist and push/pull action is good. No fiddly buttons or levers to sieze or attract debris. I was so impressed I also cut down some hard stem garden perenials which are dying back.I can also see me using it to cut fruit off my Plum and Cherry Trees next season.

Very good but the blade wore out after two days of hard use. It was a very large brick driveway (200ms) to be honest but a change of blade head would have been useful! I’m 6ft and the handle could have been a couple of inches longer. The handle looks brand new still but definitely would recommend it.

This was easy to put together and worked well getting between the paving stones to remove grass and weed. Not being able to bend because of an arthritic hip, it was perfect with it's long handle. I have artificial grass and used it to dig out the weed between the grass and the drive. It has a sharp blade so be careful.

Blade is sharp. Can scrape moss of top of pavers, and get in the cracks for weeds. Stops back from aching as they extend long.

Hard work to use. Still looking for the best way of weeding a patio without back breaking hacking. Sadly not the answer. It enabled a few removals

Ideal for pulling weed off the prop in the summer.

It's well built and useful in gardening

Top quality a bit expensive
