Hello Chris,
I am not quite as tall but have used the Bulldog Evergreen Edging Shear 38" for around 6 years, they claim to be longer than a standard pair by 5 or 6 inches, they are longer than a wilkinson sword pair I had previously and hand to stoop to use. They have lasted well and I have only had to replace the adjustment screw once due to the fact I caught it on something in the van

Thanks for the replies. I'll take a look at them both.
Darlac telescopic are the only ones I get now. I’m not 6’3, but can’t imagine them being too short, they are the best cutters for the money though.
I’ve had the same pair for over 6 years now, I think I’ve sharpened them once in that time and being carbon steel they are very easy to sharpen, the blades are still nice and true so provide a clean cut. I’ve never had any issues with the locking mechanism on them, it’s easy to use and stays strong during operation.
If I ever need to replace mine, I’d have no hesitation in getting the same again ( providing the design is still the same ! ).
The Darlac ones look pretty impressive and after reading your review of them I have ordered some from the Amazon.
Hopefully they'll live up to expectation.
Thanks
I hope so too!
They arrived. Closed they are very short and fully opened they are on the edge of what is comfortable. I'm holding them right on the handle end to be able to cut horizontal while standing upright. Pretty good though.
Thanks again for the advice
i hav a old non branded set round tube handles i took the grips off and extended the shafts with wooden dowel then put the grips back on
if you have to cut the grips off you can replace them with handlebar grips from a bike shop and i think they are heat shrink
How much edging do you do? Is it just grass you're clipping off, or a lot of soil? I rarely use the manual shears; using a vertically-held strimmer is the best way to super sharp edges and quick too. I may do a few edges annually with shears to cut back soil.
