Black & Decker Electric Hedge Trimmer: Opinions On ?
 

Hi,

This isn't, probably, the best group for this question, but I figured you
guys would know anyway.

Regarding those Black & Decker electric (not rechargeable) plug in hedge
trimmers.

Home Depot has a 22 inch model for about $ 50.

Anybody ever use it ?

Would like, I think, a bit longer, but the 22 inch model is light enough for
one handed usage, while the 24 and up models really aren't.

Opinions on ?

Thanks,
Bob

For a few hours of use per year, they are just fine.

I've had one for about 3 years. Works fine. Had a shorter one for maybe
15 - 20 years, but was not cutting as well. Also had a Homelite combo
set string trimmer and hedge trimmer with 2 batteries for only $100 that
was nice for light work but batteries went and replacement from unknown
source would have been $50. Hated to throw out 2 good machines. Would
avoid battery operated units unless they had a reliable replacement
source for reasonable price.

It depends upon what you need to trim. I have one -- it works well on small
diameter shrubs like ligustrum, but couldn't handle the thicker limbs on
Firespike.

Worked fine for me weekly on privet hedge for years. Still have it,
still works.
