Piece of Junk
We've had many trimmers over the years. These by far are the worst we've ever had.
The problem is the design of both the grass shears and the mini hedge shears. They do not cut anything. They are dull and set too far apart to effectively cut anything.
Plus for a 7.2 volt, which should be very powerful and have a long life battery this machine fails.
I usually love Black and Decker items, but these were returned after 10 minutes of attempted use.

Don't bother - poor battery life
I'll be trying to return this product. After charging the batteries for about 3-4 days, I was able to get 10 minutes from the unit trimming the grass. What a waste.

It won't cut grass!!!!!!!!
The blades on this unit are no good at all.
I tried to cut grass, and 50% of the grass gets pushed sideways between the top and bottom blade. You just have to keep working on the same spot of grass to get it all cut. I tried the shrubber blade, and it also did the same thing.
The blades also rusted overnight. Maybe stainless would be a better choice for the blades.
I also had trouble with battery life. I charged for 2 days, and I got about 10 minutes out of it...

Don't Bother
I've had other B&D grass clippers which worked great, which is why I purchased this one. After about two minutes of use it was clear that the product simply doesn't cut, it shreds, and doesn't do a good job at that either. It's going back!

Best Gardening Tool I've Ever Owned!
I'm a 65 year old granny with arthritic hands. This is the perfect tool for me. I cut shrubs, edge the walkway, chop down weeds, and shape hedges. Charge lasts about 20 min. before recharging. I am careful to clean the blades after each use and haven't had any problems with rust, etc. It fits my hand, isn't too heavy and it has been a terrific aid to me this spring. It is a great time saver and my hands don't hurt!

Dont Bother
Unless you are dealing with minimal to no weeds I would not suggest buying this product. I bought this thinking I could save myself time and money using this rather than the traditional weed eaters- no such luck. It wont cut (I ended up using big household scissors with better results)In the end I will still have to buy the traditional weed eater. Black and Decker dropped the ball on this one- def. NOT worth the money!

Grass Shear/shrubber
Outstanding product, - cut grass and shrubs wonderfully. Recommend getting the extension handle for added versatility. 7.2 volt engine is reasonably powerful for a small unit. The charge lasts for a long time, - seems to never run out between uses.

Great help for arthritic hands
Because I have arthritis in my hands, this tool has become my favorite for the yard & garden! I use the short attachment to edge areas where the lawn meets ground covers or planting beds (and a string trimmer would be too severe), and recently used the long shearing attachment to successfully trim six inches off the top and sides of some large and dense, unruly evergreen bushes. I also used it to easily trim boxwoods. On my most recent use, it ran for more than an hour of constant use without...

Grass shear
I have to be honest. I bought this because it was Black and Decker and I was very disappointed. I bought a cheaper brand and it outperforms the B and D by a long shot. I wasted my money on the Black and Decker.
