Dont Bother
Unless you are dealing with minimal to no weeds I would not suggest buying this product. I bought this thinking I could save myself time and money using this rather than the traditional weed eaters- no such luck. It wont cut (I ended up using big household scissors with better results)In the end I will still have to buy the traditional weed eater. Black and Decker dropped the ball on this one- def. NOT worth the money!

Lightweight, cordless shearer and hedge trimmer
This item is easy to handle and lightweight. This is helpful when having to cut grass or shrubbery in an awkward position. I had no trouble with the battery life or the cutting power of the blades. I have feeling that some of the other hedger/shearers that the other reviewers had trouble with were defective. I have used the shearer and hedger many times. The only slight problem I have had is that branches get stuck in the hedger and you must stop trimming so that you can remove the branches. If the blades moved a bit faster, I think this problem would have been allieviated. This is a nice hedger, grass shearer for the price. You can use one machine to do two functions. You can get replacement blades, as well. You might consider buying the extension handle, as I did, if you purchase this item. The extension handle is quite helpful when doing most trimming and shearing yard work..

i am sure it works well but
it doesn't go with the handle, even though that is the way it is advertised

FRUSTRATION when cutting grass!!!
I'm only rating this product for cutting grass since I never used the hedger yet. I get frustrated when cutting grass because I have to make about three or four passes over the grass before it cuts all of it. I used to have the Craftman brand cordless shears but the sears I've been to don't sell that one anymore. Another thing is that the motor is slow compared to the Craftsman model. It takes me about three times as long to do the same area as the Craftsman. The only thing better is that the battery lasts longer with the black & decker. I hope another company comes out with a comparable one to the Craftsman. FYI: I've cut St. Augustine grass and Zoysia with both of these models.

Works OK. Long battery life.
Like any other rechargeable product, you need to give it an initial charge of over 24 hours before the first use. I was not able to run down the battery during regular use. The grass cutter attachment is poor, but I use a weed wacker for grass anyway. It's well balanced and fairly light in weight. My wife uses it, and she likes it.

This replaced a Sears/OSH product which cut grass better, but had shorter battery life and the batteries could not be replaced (I was willing to make a new battery pack, but they were 2/3 C size which were impossible to find). This unit also uses 2/3 C size NiCd. So it may also be a throw-away once the batteries die. I wish they made a unit that used the VersaPak batteries.
