Black & Decker 18 V Cordless Trimmer and Edger —
I bought this one to replace a gas powered trimmer that had broken and was skeptical about how well it would work. I read a lot of reviews about a lot of different trimmers and decided to give this one a try.
Now the only negative I have to say about this trimmer is that it takes a while for the batteries to hold a charge that lasts longer than 10-15 minutes at a time, but after about four to five times of charging each battery, they seem to hold the charge longer and can last up to 30 minutes depending on the thickness of the weeds.
The trimmer starts right up with no trouble, it was easy to put together and figure out..there aren't any real directions to read..just pictures basically. It weighs about the same as the old gas trimmer did and I don't have to wonder if I have gas in it or is there any in the gas can in the shed before I can trim the weeds. No mixing oil and gas either.
It shimmies much less than the last trimmer I had too. So to boil it all down..easy to assemble, easy to start, easy to handle, and it does a good job on most weeds.
