The edger is very easy to use and powerful enough for my yard. The blower seems to be weak, but have not used it enough. Have not used the hedge trimmers. Overall I am very happy to just push a button and the edger starts, but a safety button is on it also so kids can't get hurt. Would recommend this with the price of gas increasing and if you have trouble starting a gas edger.
Excellent Tools!!! July 24, 2008
The String Trimmer doesn't have the power of the electric trimmer or gas trimmer, but can do the work.
Cordless Works great! Perfect for my yard! July 22, 2008

I've been looking quite a while for an electric hedge trimmer when I came across this Black and Decker Lawncare Center cordless set at Amazon. After checking the reviews (and the price) I decided to go for it, especially when it qualified for free shipping from Amazon. Where else could I get three cordless outdoor tools for the price of one gas trimmer?
How's it work? I am more than satisfied, the tools have heavy duty plastic housings, and are built very strong, with enough voltage to last through several uses before charging. They do the job well for my simple yard. If you had heavy brush or ponderously long edging and trimming to do, of course there are better gas powered alternatives. But for no fuss use and quick setup these tools are more than adequate and will get the job done! Plus, no cords!
Good enough for residential use July 22, 2008

I've had several weeks to use this, and right out of the box, I was impressed. Whoever designed this, must have done their yards for a long time, and came up with a list of ideas that they not only wanted to see on the tools, but also in their storage.
I loved the ease of which the battery and tool rack was to install, and stable too. After getting that up and charging the batteries, I had three weeks of high grass to tackle. Even with that, the weed eater had little problem. With that, and a dirty patio and walk...I used up all three batteries and barely managed to finish the job. Remind you, this was three weeks of neglect this had to take on.
With the subsequent weeks of use, I normally use two of the three batteries just to run the weed eater and blower. I don't have a lot of hedges to manage, but it does an excellent job when I do bring it out.
Each of the tools are very light, and the batteries are removed and replaced quite easily. Even my 11 y/o son can wield each of these and not have complaints.
The only yard type I can't recommend this for is something extremely large...large like the type you use a ride on mower to manage. However, if you have an average single family home and yard, this is perfect, and is worth it not to mess with mixing gas/oil, and pulling the silly starter 100 times to get it running. Battery in, and it just works.
