Black & Decker 18-Volt Cordless Electric 12-Inch Grass Hog String Trimmer/Edger #NST2018

This model was highly rated by Consumers Group, and I can see why. Overall it works great, it's easy to handle, easy to assemble, and the battery packs seem to last as expected. Includes a charger with 2 battery packs so you always have a "hot spare". Amazon was selling this as bundle with a highly rated B&D cordless mower, so I bought the package deal.

The manual is decent. Let's face it - we're all interested in the assembly section so we can get busy. But they have some good points in the other sections of the manual.

I would recommend it for home use. It's definitely not industrial-grade for pro landscapers, but it does work well for home use.

This is an excellent product! It is easy to handle and does a beautiful job. Highly recommended!

I am satisfied with this product. It is just what i needed for keeping my yard looking neat and well cared for. I received it good time and in great condition. Thank you for having this kind of service.

This battery powered string trimmer fits exactly into the role that I needed it for. It provides the perfect portability and ease of use that I (and my wife) need for our small areas of grass. The automatic string feed has worked exactly as advertised.

The model that I purchased actually came with 2 batteries, which has provided a starting point for me to power a couple of other B&D 18v devices that I have acquired. I am now about to acquire the pole hedge trimmer for use on some of the bushes around the house.

I expect these 18v tools will provide much better service than older Versa Pack devices..... making them look like "toys".

This the second one of this type I have bought. The last won lasted 6 years. This is better than the last one. More power and lighter too.
