Love this trimmer -- compact yet powerful. It got the job done on my overgrown hedges . . . actually, it got half the job done. It took me about 20 minutes before I managed to slice through my power cord in one ill fated swoop! I consider myself a careful, conscientious person with power tools, and yet I still managed to cut my line. Be careful out there and happy trimming!

The Black & Decker hedge trimmer really does the job. Simple to assemble, I first tested the trimmer after it arrived, since the box was damaged by the shipper. But no problems with the trimmer at all. It cuts easily, has enough power for thicker branches and the over all weight is managable. I bought it for its price and Black & Decker's reliabilty and would highly recommend to anyone looking for an inexpensive trimmer. I can't wait for my hedges to grow out again so I can use this trimmer again!

Trimmer made my job so easy / The 2 way action make's it very smooth great results

I got my neighbor's branches sticking out over the wall all over the place, found this here and compared it with another one with more horsepower, decided to go with this one thinking it would be good enough for my work and also it was considerably cheaper. Tried it the same day I got it, worked great, had no problem trimming down branches as thick as 3/4" inch in diameter, now my yard looks a lot better than it did.

Works good. Same size as my 20 year old Black and Decker which was lables a 16"
