Black and Decker 12V Cordless Weed Wacker Rocks!!
By mickeem onI bought this thinking I needed something small, and quick to just clean up the edges around my gardens, and trees. And this is PERFECT!!
I do have a larger gas trimer/edger. but I dont need to get that out every week, when I can just take out my lighter, quieter Cordless trimmer!
This is great for smaller yards- Do not get this if you have a larger yard. Maybe the 18Volt would be better if you had a larger yard.
The charge on this handles exactly for what I need it to do. The directions say it takes 24 hours to fully recharge, but I have been able to use this right around the 4 hour mark.
This is rechargeable, and it has a nice hanging charger, so you can just clip it in, and it can hang in your garage, without having to lay aournd, or get some sort of fancy holder for it.
This is very lightweight as well.Its justunder 10 pounds, and you can tell, my arms dont start to hurt when I am at the end of my trimming job. This trimmer does have an edger feature on it, but thats only good, if you have had your edges already started by a more powerful edger. This isnt a monster, so it cannot start the edgeing, but it can certainly keep up with the cleanup.
I would recommend this to anyone with a small yard, or at least a small area that they need to trim or edge. Its lightweight, so for any women who might want a small unit, this is great.

I think it was nice that you gave the tip that this would be best for smaller yards! This truly is lightweight at under 10 pounds-I love that!
This is perfect for those quick touch up jobs that can so often save you hours of work later on. I love the portability and lighter weight, and see this as a necessary adjunct to my heavier weed eater.
I like that this has a hanging charger that it snaps into, what a great easy to use feature.
Thumbs up to Black and Decker for manufacturing such reliable and satisfactory products. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Black and Decker make great products. Thanks for the information.
Cordless and lightweight is great. Now that the battery technology has caught up so that they hold a charge it is really good!
