Ever find yourself in a situation where a hand tool is not enough, but a full-size power tool is too much? Black & Decker's cordless grass shear is just what you need for detail work around flower beds, trees, fences, retaining walls--you name it. Modeled along the lines of sheep-shearing clippers, the quiet buzzing of this little machine will give your grass a safe trim without knocking down your prized petunias. We found it to be especially useful in small, delicate, or difficult-to-reach areas, such as around bushes, vines, and ornamental grasses. Note that this model was not designed for large or lengthy jobs: the battery charge lasts only up to 35 minutes, and the 3-inch shearing blades will not cover ground as efficiently as the spinning line of a string trimmer. Although the unit is extremely lightweight and easy to maneuver, it does require that you keep the trigger pressed to engage the blades, which can cause hand fatigue after about 15 minutes of constant use. A safety latch prevents accidental start-up. --Michelle McSweeney

Black & Decker Cordless shear:
A great product at a great price. Excellent for those small places around bushes and trees
Grass Shear:
The product work well, but the problem is the short time of battery, only 30 minutes and need 16 hours to charge.
Great clipper for grass near flowers.:
This Black and Decker Grass Clipper is excellent for use along a flower bed where a weed wacker type tool is difficult to use because of lack of control.
Waste of good money:
I agree wholeheartedly with all the other 1 & 2 star reviews. Do NOT understand the 3, 4 & 5 star reviews. Not a female friendly product if there is a lot of clipping to do. You need strong fingers to keep the on/off switch depressed for any length of time. Keeps shutting off after the first sign of weakness in the fingers. They cut the tips of grass fine but to get to the bottom of the blade you have to make at least 3-4 passes. Not for the busy gardener. Cordless is wonderful -- recharges over... more info
