I love my new trimmer - the battery goes and goes and does a superlative job. I have a torn rotator cuff and can't lift heavy products. I just love this, not to heavy and does a really good job of trimming. Excellent item, no bumping for the cord to come out. Buy one, you won't be sorry.
B&D Grass Hog:
Works great for a battery operated tool. It has more power than I expected it to have. I also was VERY PLEASED that it came with 2 batteries!
I'd buy this item again in a heartbeat and have already recommended it to others.
Super Trimmer:
Who could ask for anything more? Great battery life, powerful cutting power - with 2 batteries, to boot! This trimmer does a fine job. And the batteries can be used in other Black & Decker 18 volt cordless devices.
Surprised...and Pleased:
I have owned a number of different gas powered trimmers and they all were more powerful than this B&D electric trimmer, so as many other reviewers have stated, if you are doing a big area, or using a trimmer a lot, perhaps this is not the right choice for you.
I was on the fence about it myself, but when my last gas unit konked out, decided to give it a shot and I'm happy I did. My property is about 1 acre and there is a good bit of trim work to do, but I've had no trouble finishing the job,... more info
