“Black & Decker 17inch Hedge Trimmer”
I am very pleased with my purchase. The unit is light weight and was surprised at the cutting ability it has. I have normal hedges and older more mature hedges that have can be more of a challenge but this unit made my job easier. And the price was great at Sears and I did price the same unit at another...

The Black & Decker hedge trimmer that I had just purchased is dull and did not trim evenly. It would rip off the young leaves but leaving the stem. Although the spacing between the saw tooth was wide enough, a stem of about 1/4 in. would not fit into the groove and therefore not be cut. It took me twice...

This hedge trimmer is lightweight enough for me to handle and does a great job on my shrubs.
Comparing with price, you cannot expect more from this little machine! But, if it can be more powerful, I could be happier :)
I bought it for my first try at trimming the hedge in our backyard. The black 17' Decker looked right for the price and it did a good job. As I said I never had done this kind of job before, and yet it was very easy and convenient. One minor irritant, though, was that the cord, which I had to buy separately, keeps coming off and I had to plug it in several times during the course of my work.
This product is almost as good as the Craftmans 14in Hedge Trimmer that I have had for 17 years until it died on me. I was liking for another Craftman hedge trimmer when I found this one on sale. The price is right for this hedger and when I got home I began to use it. It did take long to use and worked great for the price.
This hedger got the job done, but the most frustrating thing was that the cord kept coming out of hedger. If there was something to control the cord that would have made this product a 5star.
Found this tool to be next to useless on our hedges and am returning it posthaste. It's actually harder than doing it with manual shears. Perhaps it's incompatibility with our arborvitae hedges but it just does a lousy job. I worked with it a bit, thoroughly reading the instructions, trying different techniques, and it just proved to be woefully inadequate. There's nothing apparently wrong with it, nor is it of an unconventional design, but it just can't hack (pun intended) our arborvitae hedges. Given how common these hedge are, this seems surprising.
