Features
Cordless string trimmer and edger with 12-inch cutting path -- the largest of any battery-powered trimmer
Automatic Feed Spool AFS system uses centrifugal force; no bumping required
Rechargeable 12-volt battery provides minimum of 6800 rpm; height-adjustable auxiliary handle for comfort
Button rotates Groom'N'Edge 180-degrees for easy trimmer to edger conversion
Length: 12 inches; weight: 10 pounds; backed by 2-year full warranty
Product Description
Black and Decker's Grass Hog cordless string trimmer and edger offers the convenience of cordless power without the mess of fuel. Requiring virtually no tune-ups and no fussing with gasoline and oil mixtures, the Grass Hog gives you quiet, reliable, maintenance-free power at the flip of a switch. True, battery power doesn't measure up to the strength of a gas engine, but maybe you don't need all that power (and pollution) anyway.
This trimmer takes just a few minutes to put together, and its durable construction -- backed by Black and Decker's 2-year warranty -- is immediately obvious. With a 12-inch cutting path -- the largest of any battery-powered trimmer -- the Grass Hog works quickly. It is limited to light-duty cutting of grass and foliage but can handle most homeowners' needs for weekend weed-whacking. The straight-shaft design lets you easily reach under decks and stairs, and the height-adjustable handles offer a comfortable grip. The Automatic Feed Spool (AFS) system releases the trimmer's .065-diameter line as it's needed using centrifugal, with no tapping or bumping of the spool head required. The edger feature is easy to engage; with just a button, the Groom'N'Edge rotates 180-degrees for an easy conversion from trimming to edging and back again. The edger does a decent job of cleaning up around paving stones and concrete, although it's not quite as powerful as gas and corded electric models when cutting extensive edges along walkways and driveways. The 12-volt battery is powerful enough to provide a minimum of 6800 rpm, allows instant start-up, gives plenty of run-time per charge, and will recharge overnight.
Weighing over 10 pounds, the Grass Hog may be a bit heavy for some users, but for small, light-duty jobs, most homeowners should find it to be quite manageable. As with all power equipment, trimmers must be handled with caution. Be sure to wear hand, eye, and foot protection when operating this serious piece of equipment. --Michelle McSweeney

Reader Reviews
This trimmer is an excellent choice for the average homeowner. I have had mine for about 6 months. It's the perfect combo of power, ease of use, and weight. It is a little heavier than a corded electric because of the battery, but it is much lighter than a gas powered. The auto feed spool makes it very easy to use even though you will use more line that you would with a bump feed model. For me, it's well worth the wasted line not to have to worry about "pulling" more line. I haven't had any mechanical problems at all, and the spool was easy to change. Buy a 3 pack spool replacement package when you buy it. The most persuasive agrument I can give you is that my wife loves using it, and she is really, really picky. If you are weed wacking a 3 acre farm or weeds that 2 feet tall, this is not the choice for you, but I have found that I trim much more often becuase it is soo easy to start using and put away. Consequently, the weeds never get a chance to get very tall.
