Amazon.com Review
This quiet, clean-running cordless tool is ideal for anyone who needs to clip tall, awkwardly-sited, or hard-to-reach hedges and shrubs. It effectively trims to a height of ten feet, thanks to two interlocking components that form an extended pole shape. The hardened, machined steel 18-inch cutting blade is exceptionally durable and features dual action to minimize vibration and increase user comfort. The 180-degree pivoting head adjusts to five different positions for hedges both high and low and effectively trims branches up to 7/16-inch in diameter. A powerful 18-volt NiCad battery provides 2400 revolutions per minute and runs the trimmer for up to 50 minutes between charges, as well as starting up effortlessly with the press of a trigger. (A locking switch enhances safety by preventing accidental starts.) Without a cumbersome electrical cord to drag around, even big jobs feel easier, and there are never any oil, gas, or tune-ups needed. The unit assembles and disassembles in seconds using locking collars to join the power end to the cutting head. A carry bag allows for easy transport and storage at home or to professional worksites. Also included are a battery charger and blade cover for increased storage safety. This trimmer is covered by a two-year warranty in addition to a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. It weighs just over eight pounds and measures 78 inches long when put together. --Mary Park

 Works Great August 2, 2008
My mom and I love this, now hedging the front bushes only takes a couple of minutes instead of hours, it's awesome!
Does what it is supposed to July 30, 2008
I am pleased with this product. It is well made and has performed flawlessly. It is a bit heavy, so if you are reaching way up or way out, you will need to rest your arms fairly frequently. But that beats getting a ladder, or not being able to do them at all. So in all, very happy with the purchase.
Pretty pleased July 30, 2008
I am pretty pleased with this cordless trimmer. It is a little heavy and I did have to take breaks especially when holding it over my head to trim the top of a high arbor. But the convenience of not having a cord dragging along and the ease of using it made it well worth the money. It charged up in no time and kept the charge for a couple of hours. It used to be the hedges got trimmed once a year because it was such a headache, but now I can actually keep them looking good all year. Four stars only because in the future the design will be more ergonomic and then it will get five stars!
Can't do without it July 28, 2008
This product is bulky and,in my opinion, probably not going to be used by a woman due to its weight. However, for someone who has a lot of hedges, tree trimming, and other trimming that requires reach, this is a product you won't be able to do without.
I think what Black and Decker should do is elimated or come out with the option of no elbow. The elbow is bluky, combersome and adds weight and I don't use it; since I am probably average, that means that the elbow is not being used enough to make it worth while.
Vesatile trimmer July 13, 2008
Yes it is a hedge trimmer on a pole and works well as such. I used it to trim the bottom of my weeping willow along with some shrubs. Its best use may be as a weed whacker when you have weeds that are tall and too tough for a string trimmer to handle well. Just set it at the more comfortable angle, hold it down and cut off the weeds.
