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"

Great trimmer at a good price. My old one broke B&D 20+ years old. I was NOT looking to buy a trimmer but my wife thinks the old one was a chainsaw. I'm glad she broke it, the new one cuts with dual action at twice the speed. I was a little worried when I got home and saw the bright orange box at the door. It was taped with clear tape and the box was broken right were the blade started. If ordering one of these units have it marked as a gift so as to conseal its contents and maybe better packaging. Mine was not broken and works like a charm. No vibration like the old one, tingling fingers. Wear gloves, glasses and earplugs for safty and an orange cord if you have one, it's easier to see in the greenery. Put your name on it right away, the guy next door will be over in the morning to borrow it. A 4 hour job in a little more than an hour. For a home owner you just have to love this machine.
