Description
The Black & Decker 18-Volt Cordless Grass Hog Trimmer/Edger puts the finishing touches on any lawn or garden. There are no extension cords or gas engines to maintain, and the light weight adds to simplified operation. A large 12-inch cutting path covers a lot of groud in a single pass when trimming, and the tool offers deep, defined borders when switched over to edging. Black & DeckerÆs patented gear drive transmission delivers the most power and cutting performance of any cordless trimmer in this voltage class.
An intuitive, easy-to-use design helped the NST2018 win its designation as a Consumers Digest Best Buy. View larger.
Edging and Trimming in One Tool The Grass Hog Trimmer/Edger combines two tools in one to make lawn and garden care more convenient. Use the tool's edger function to add borders to your pathways and flower beds, which helps to fight weeds and define the areas in your yard. Flip the head back over to a trimming tool to clip grass around delicate plants or in tight corners, giving your grounds a clean, manicured look. The large 12-inch cut path makes it possible to complete your yard work in less time.
Integrated Features for Performance and Comfort Black & Decker's Automatic Feed Spool keeps the line at a constant perfect length for trimming, so you can finish your tasks without interruption. The shaft telescopes to fit your height, and an adjustable handle makes holding and operating the trimmer/edger comfortable for all users.
Extended Range of Use with Cordless, Rechargeable Power With its 18-volt battery, the trimmer/edger lets you tend to the most remote areas on your property without the hassle of winding extension cords or maintaining gas or oil engines. The Grass Hog includes two batteries--use one and keep the other in the included charger so it's ready the next time you need it. The battery also works with other select cordless Black & Decker lawn tools for added convenience.
The rechargeable power greatly reduces noise and emission pollution associated with gas engines to protect your hearing and environment.
The Black & Decker 18-Volt Cordless Electric Grass Hog Trimmer/Edger is covered by a two-year warranty.

Good for small jobs Mar 08, 2010 I do not think this model was ever designed for a large job/area or tough weeds/grass. I find it has it place as a touch-er upper when you don't want to deal with a long extension cord or the heavy duty "artillery" gas and oil high horse power week eater. For the right light trimming job it is very convenient.
Product is as ordered Mar 02, 2010 The product arrived as ordered. It is a reconditioned model but it appears to be a brand new trimmer. It came with two batteries and both have charged appropriately. Because we still have a few feet of snow, I can't state how well it trims but will know in a few months!
Good value for the product and it was free shipping! I'm satisfied so far.
Perfect for Women who Want to Trim Jan 22, 2010 I have used a gas trimmer years ago and recall trying to pull the cord to get it to start. Not good for someone with a bad back. I love this trimmer. I have had it for over a season and it works great on my pseudo landscaped quarter acre. Don't expect it to do well on very thick stalks or "weed whacking" as we call it on the farm, but it's great for small trimming. Girls, if you have a husband, make him decide on which trimmer to buy but for yourself, you will love this. I do have to use both battery packs but it's nice that I have a third from my cordless drill if I need it. The hardest part about this product for me is trying to remember to go in the basement and switch out the batteries when charging them. It definitely worth not having to pay $30 for a landscape service to come. Buy an electric start gas push mower to go along with this trimmer. No messing with those aweful pull cords for starting.

Hardly cuts grass at all Jan 16, 2010 I have numerous Black and Decker Cordless items and thought this might fit my needs at work. Have a 10 X 20 patch of grass in front and not worth getting a mower for. This just did nothing. I used a battery up and hardly cut any grass at all. Can't give it away. It sits waiting for one of my children to have a garage sale.
Poor battery life, but lightweight Jan 10, 2010 Pros: light, easy to carry, no cord, not as noisy and gas-powered
Cons: battery runs out fast
