Product Description
When cutting grass, ever find yourself in a situation where a hand tool is not enough, but a full-size power tool is too much? Black & Decker's Black & Decker 3.6-volt cordless grass shear is just what you need for detail trimming work such as around flower beds, trees, fences, and retaining walls; we found it to be especially useful in small, delicate, or difficult-to-reach areas, such as around bushes, vines, and ornamental grasses. Modeled after sheep-shearing clippers, the quiet buzzing of this little machine will give your grass a safe trim without knocking down your prized petunias. Note that this model was not designed for large or lengthy jobs: the battery charge lasts only up to 35 minutes, and the 3-inch shearing blades will not cover ground as efficiently as the spinning line of a string trimmer. Although the unit is extremely lightweight and easy to maneuver, it does require that you keep the trigger pressed to engage the blades, which can cause hand fatigue after about 15 minutes of constant use. A safety latch prevents accidental start-up. This tool is backed by a full 2-year warranty.

Reader Reviews
The design of the previous model(s) of grass shears were all the same for about 25 years. I know this because I have seen them in all sorts of colors, but the design never changed. This newer model came out last year and while it is a fine unit, it's a little bit more difficult to use. The only problem is the lock-on button feature. For some reason a lot of strength is needed to secure the lock. People with arthiritis, and joint problems could have difficulties with this unit. I understand that this model has an extension sold seprately, but better design is needed.
