Cordless Shears - Recommendations?

After an afternoon lawn cutting its time to tackle the grass around the trees.
As trimmer may damage the bark so thought about hand held shears or cordless cutters.
Anyone previous experience re make and seller.

Thx as always for any contributions.

    I use the small one handed Fiskars. Very happy with them. Homebase have an offer this weekend I think.

    How old/mature are the trees? I can't imagine a carefully used strimmer would cause much damage to a mature bark(assuming cord and not metal head)
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.
