Product Description
The Black and Decker automatic feed trimmer and edger is a powerful, yet lightweight string trimmer. This 13-inch sting trimmer/edger features the exclusive Automatic Feed Spool (AFS) system that automatically advances cutting string without bumping; the system utilizes centrifugal force to feed the trimmer line as it is needed. The 13-inch-diameter cutting path gets the job done fast and the powerful 4.2 Amp motor spinning the line at 10,000 rpm works as a superior unit trimming heavy weeds and grass. The Groom'N'Edge head rotates 180 degrees to convert the trimmer to an edger and from edger to trimmer in a matter of seconds. Used as an edger, the edge guide assists with edging along sidewalks and driveways. A secondary handle is adjustable for increased comfort and control. Weighing in at a mere 5 pounds, this tool has a feather-light design, allowing for less fatigue and more control. The cord retention system prevents accidental cord disconnection for continuous trimming. A 30 day no-risk satisfaction guarantee and full 2-year warranty are provided.

Let me share a small story that should tell you how good this trimmer is: A friend of mine just bought a house, where the yard had been so undermaintained, that the grass was almost waist high. Last night, we went over to remedy the situation. We brought a powerful lawn mower, a Toro trimmer, and this B&D Trimmer. The lawnmower proved useless in grass that high, so we set out to cut it with the trimmers. I used the this B&D while my friend used the Toro. Thanks to the power of this trimmer, and the Automatic Line Feed, I managed to cut 80% of the lawn while my friend could only cut the remaining 20. While he was working to get more line out (or, often taking apart the spool because the line had broken off inside of it) I was chopping down 13" paths in the grass. The Toro also seemed to get bogged down by the heavy grass, while this B&D just kept on going! I've seen some people say that the automatic line feed uses too much line... Well, I cut down at least an acre of waist high grass, weeds, small bush like things, etc. last night - and didn't go through a whole spool. I'd really like to know how these people are using so much line. If you're looking for a high power, easy to use trimmer at a great price - this is it! I'm ordering one today after seeing it in action last night!
