I was looking for an electric triimmer for trimming around landscaping and the sidewalk. This has been perfect. It’s easy to handle and does a nice job trimming even higher, thicker grass and weeds. I would highly recommend this item, especially at such a good price and from a reputable company.

Perhaps B&D shipped some of these shears with defective batteries as I’m reading so many unhappy customer reviews. I bought these shears at the beginning of last summer and they run superbly, with battery life easily at 1 hour of continuous cutting. I have no problem cutting through heavy grass either. I leave mine on the charger all summer, then put them away for the winter. I oil the blades periodically and that’s about it. I had a ten year old B&D clipper before these and I couldn’t kill them.

This will be my third season in utilizing these worthless shears. It is hard to believe that B & D would put their name on them knowing the quality of some of the tools they manufacture. Heed all you read about these shears in the reviews that appear here. . . . they are all true and I have experienced all of them. Thank goodness I did not invest in the extension handle which must really be a joke in attempting to use them with that attached. Save your money and look for a better more dependable product that holds a charge for at least 1/2 half hour or more because these shears will die on you within ten minutes especially if you have to trim grass. . . . YIKES!

I own a lot of power equipment and this thing wins the award for the biggest waste of $$. Other B&D products I own work well. What a let down!

I totally agree with the other review of the product. I have charged this tool for over 24 hours & barely get 10 minutes of work out of it before it dies completely. It will not stay charged long enough to do any work with. Plus, I have not been able to find a replacement battery for it, thinking maybe this would help. So I will be donating it somewhere to someone who only needs 5 – 10 minutes of grass cutting time. I definitely would not recommend it at all!
