Almost useless product
I bought this from Lowe's about a month and a half ago. I used it a couple times and it seemed that the run time was quite short. Thinking that ni-cads sometimes need a few charges before they reach full capacity, I've run it down and and charged it probably about 6-7 times now. After the last couple of charges, I tested the run-time by starting the shears and letting it run until it came to a full stop. It only ran 7 minutes on the first test and less than 6 minutes on the second test. I d...

Light touch-ups
Rather than take out the big stuff to cut the grass, I wished for a small hand tool that could help me with touch-ups, in between major grass cuttings. I got my wish. This tool is great for small spaces, around shrubs & trees in tight places, and for the very small yard when you want to keep the grass looking neat. After about 10 minutes or so, you will wish you had the handle attachment, because it gets hard bending over. You can keep it in the charger for daily use. The charger lasts for about...

A real bust for Black and Decker
If I could rate this item zero stars I would. It is totally useless. It jams up with grass when in use. It has no power whatsoever. As for the optional handle, don't even think of buying it. It makes the trimmer even less powerful. If that is possible. I have ordered two trimmers thinking that the first one was defective. Well, they are both defective. Now I am going to have to pay a bunch of return postage because Amazon says that it is not their fault.
It is your fault Amazon. You should ...

Doesn't cut it!
I purchased this to do some light trimming so I didn't have to get out the full fledged weed eater for small jobs. It has a short run time so I ended up pulling out an extension cord. If used for anything besides very sparse areas it becomes stuck and stops. I will be returning it for a pair of handheld manual shears which are about 1/4 of the price and will do the job 4 times as fast.

Weak
The GS700 cordless grass shears work best with sparcely growing grass and grind to a halt when challenged with thick clumps of grass. The shears must be charged immediately prior to use, which requires them to be always plugged-in unless you are very scheduled with your yard work.

Junk junk junk
This thing is horrid. After a 48 hour charge, I was able to get 5 minutes of use out of it before the battery died. To make matters worse, during that five minutes the thing clogged up constantly - on a single blade of grass, no less!

Junk
I bought these trimmers to trim around my pool deck because my brother in law had an earlier model and loved them. Let me tell you they are a complete piece of junk. They will not trim more than a couple blades of grass thick, after using them about 3 times they just completely died. I would never buy them again.

Huge Disappointment
In a world of 18 and 24 volt rechargeables, I was hugely disappointed in this product. I bought it this spring to replace my manual sheep shears I'd used for 20 years, hoping to be able to reach those tight spots I can't reach with my string trimmer more quickly.
It binds on almost anything, can't handle the occasional tall fescue flower stalk, and if I'm really careful with my trimming, I can get almost 10 minutes of real use out of the battery, which is less than half what the prod...
