B&D Electric String Trimmer

Would Recommend

This little electric string trimmer is light weight and very easy to use. I was using the same model that I bought at a garage sale for a few dollars and I used it for 2 years, very dependable tool. I expect that this new one will last many years as well. I have even used this left handed with no problems. I also like the ease of changing the string spool, a pack of 3 will last into the fall for me. I would recommend this to anyone who doesn't want to mess with gas.

My husband is injured so I really needed something easy to put together and figure out as well as work. Lots of weeds around the perimeter of my home and I cleaned them all up so efficiently and quickly!

Fabulous For Light Weed Eating

Would Recommend

I bought this last week because I accidently broke one just like it that I have used for years. I use it every week, Excellent for trimming grass & light weeds but don't expect it to handle a jungle. I have a walk behind trimmer for the heavy stuff at my daughters acre.

Very good trimmer

Would Recommend

I have used this twice now and am very happy with its performance. It is light weight and trims very good. Only thing that could improve is the handle that you hold onto to direct trimmer, it is flimsy.

Lite-weight powerhouse

Would Recommend

I bought this unit to supplement my older Toro trimmer. I use this unit almost exclusively due to it's lighter weight and maneuverability. Fantastic longevity for the price, and it keeps on going. I do not baby it

Nothing fancy but gets it done

Would Recommend

You get a decent trimmer for three Alexander Hamilton’s... Open the box 2 Phillips head screws for the handle and guard instal Plug in Trim Good to go 3 Hamilton’s... Trimmed weeds and grass just fine, powerful little jawn. Just remember that you need a long extension cord.

Works like a Champ !

Would Recommend

This weed eater worked just great.It performed much better than i thought it would.Real easy to put put one screw on the handle and one screw for the guard.You pop the wire guide on and you're ready to go!This baby cut some thick weeds and brush with ease.You may have to pull the line out by hand once in a while,but don't you have to do that with any weed eater?The grass collects under the guard like most,so just clean after use. No big deal.Not quite sure why all the negative reviews,it worked ...
