While not recommended for use on heavy brush, the No.8 is fully capable of tackling heavy grasses and weeds as well as woody stemmed plants (with sensibility.) See it in action removing tall reedy grasses!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MZbwzYJAFlQ\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThese currently come from the factory with the nibs (side handles) cranked on too tight and the bolt that secures the heel plate installed \"upside down\". We use a heavily padded vise to loosen the nibs so that they may be properly adjusted by the user without undue difficulty, reinstall the heel plate bolt in the proper direction, and replace the factory nib blocks with our improved \"crescent bite\" nib blocks to prevent the nibs from slipping in use. When used with a fully erect stance, this snath will comfortably fit individuals up to 5ft 10.5in in height but may be comfortably used by taller individuals if a broad stance is used or if the left hand is used wholly on the grip rather than using a palm brace against the snath.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMade with pride in the USA!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe only thing wrong with these examples \u003c\/strong\u003eis the arch is misaligned, which can be corrected with the right tang angle adjustment on the blade.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePlease ensure the selected shipping method and the method selected at checkout match.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Due to the method by which surcharges are applied to oversized items and the method by which our site is able to calculate and apply shipping, this is the only method we have of getting the shipping total accurate.
