Black & Decker Grass Trimmer

There are quite of lot of grass trimmers by Black & Decker and I've used a couple over the years I must say. The one we have at the moment is the 9 inch Cordless Trimmer Edger though there are loads available. It weighs about 7lb which makes this a really easy gadget to use about the garden. I use this to keep the edges of our lawn in check and also to keep the grass from growing over the pathway. I don't like to run a mower over paving because of an incident some ten years ago involving my head and a chunk of paving. So instead, I use the lawn mower to the edge of the lawn then get the trimmer out to actually cut the ...  Read the complete review

An absolute god-send perfect for our big garden which is hedged all round is this 22" GT500 Black & Decker Hedge-trimmer. After purchasing a petrol trimmer which kept cutting out we decided to buy this large electric trimmer with a complimentary safety switch.

The motor size is ...  Read the complete review

This device is considered a must. I have seen people use it in lieu of a mower on slopes. They manicure the edges of any lawn, get rid of grass encroaching on boundaries and perform other garden miracles with it.

Instead of getting rid of that growth near the wall I have had the cord snap countless of times. I do admit to having two left hands, but the other half is very dexterous (when he wants to be), yet his rate of success was hardly better than mine. He decided the electric models ...  Read the complete review

Black and decker grass trimmer When I purchased this item it was considered to be a lazy mans tool by my wife. After using it for a few months it has become an essential garden tool. Quite frankly my fairly average lawns are now looking neat and have that finished look and takes a very short time to do. The item I purchased was the type run by electricity ,and I now wish I had paid the extra for a petrol machine. The great drawback with the electric one is the need to have it plugged in somewhere with a long length of lead to keep watching. At times it is more trouble handling the lead than doing the job. Another problem is to ensure the unit is kept ...  Read the complete review
