No gas, no oil, no pull-cord to start, no extension cord to drag. It’s trimming in a perfect world. This Black & Decker cordless string trimmer is compact, super-lightweight, simple to use and quiet. The 12-volt battery carries enough power to trim up the average yard after mowing, and it’s truly so easy to use that you won’t even break a sweat. It’s only 6-1/2 pounds, and maneuverable? Like a dream. Yet it spins the line at 8,500 rpm, enough "oomph" to trim even the most resistant weeds and grasses. An 8-inch cutting path is ideal for the homeowner, too. It uses .065 line, which advances with a light bump. No complicated bells or confusing whistles—-just a basic trimmer that really gets the job done.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste Trim away the edges of an overgrown lawn without the tangles of a power cord or damaging the environment with exhaust fumes and oil leaks with this cordless string trimmer from renown yard and hardware pros Black & Decker. Ideal for a small yard or quick job, a 12-volt rechargeable battery powers the trimmer at a rate of 8500 revolves per minute. The lightweight trimmer also is easy to maneuver while reducing the back stress associated with heavier trimmers and push mowers.

Black & Decker's cordless trimmer uses a .065-inch-diameter cutting line rather than a sharp blade to hack away overgrown grass with enhanced safety. The trimmer cuts an 8-inch breadth for fine pruning and includes a feed system bump to permit the line to move cleanly. To prevent unintentional start up, the trimmer includes an automatic lock-off switch. The trimmer's charger may be wall mounted for convenient trimmer storage while simultaneously recharging. The trimmer should be charged for 24 hours prior to initial use and should recharged regularly. Simple two-step assembly is required. Black & Decker offers a limited two-year warranty in the event of defective parts or construction. The trimmer weighs 6.5 pounds assembled. --Jessica Reuling
