Black & Decker 3.0 AMP 18-Inch Electric Dual Action Hedge Trimmer #HT018

I've only used this once, but it was everything it needed to be so far.

I have used my new trimmer and it works good on shrubs etc as long as the branches are not to large - it is easy to hold and to trim with - the cord detaches easily if you get it caught in the limbs. Sure makes the trimming go a lot faster.

I should have bought this a long time ago,instead of suffering with hand clippers all these years. It definitly does the job,lots of power and low vibration.I have 3 different type shrubs I used it on, plus a 6ft ficus tree and a 8ft citrus tree.It trimmed all of them with no problems. Some of the citrus branches where over 1/2 in. thick, and it went right through them. Cut my work time by more than half. Great product.

The trigger lock can be difficult to engage; otherwise, it is perfect for trimming the bushes in our yard.

the handle provides multiple hand positioning while cutting either horizontal or verticle. nicely made and thought out product, much better balance than previous style cutters. lots of power!!!
