It features a 9-inch cutting width and features the exclusive Automatic Feed Spool (AFS) system that automatically advances the cutting string as need using centrifugal force, so no bumping is required. This cordless string trimmer has a powerful 12-Volt battery that works with a gear-driven motor to allow you to easily power through heavy weeds, grass, and overgrowth. The battery is rechargeable, gives you plenty of run-time per charge, and comes with a wall-mounted charger for convenient overnight charging.

A lock-off switch prevents accidental start-ups to ensure safe usage every time. A 30 day no-risk satisfaction guarantee and full 2-year warranty are provided.

Best thing since sliced bread!~:
I was determined to do away with the electric cord and this fills the bill. Much, much easier to use even though just a little heavier than the corded ones. Not having to move the cord every few seconds, tripping on it, stepping over it, etc. makes this thankless job almost fun. All my usual sources were sold out of this model. Thank goodness for Amazon.com!
Great For My Needs:
Power lasted about 15 or 20 minutes. Trimmer is easy to start and the automatic line feed is a real plus. Works well for my purposes and did a good job, but if you have a lot of trimming to do, this is not for you.
cordless trimmer:
Ok, the first one I received did not have the internal fixtures to charge the unit. I called B/D and they had to send me a label to mail it back to them. They were nice enought and send one to me before they received mine back in the mail.
I had arranged the delivery to be able to use it after a vacation. That did not work.
Then I get the new one and charge it up and it keeps running out of battery life. I have a very small yard. I can not complete the front yard before the battery runs out and... more info
For small to medium jobs, good buy for the money:
I got this to touch up around my house, short fence, bird feeders and lawn decorations. I think I got a good deal for my money. If you have a larger yard, I would recommend another trimmer.
