Reviews
The Black & Decker hedger has met all my needs thus far. I bought this to replace my trusted pair of garden scissors and have had good luck this far. As other reviewers have pointed out there hedger cannot really cut through 3/4 inch branches and that is why I did not give it the full 5 stars. The unit is very light weight and can easily be lifted with 1 hand. It was a little noisier than I had expected, but very effective at what it is meant to do. The 18v battery lasts a good 25 minutes. The charger included with the packaging takes 15-18 hours for a full charge. In the packaging I found a promotional offer from Black & Decker to purchase a 1 hour quick charger frm bdchargeroffer. The 1 hour charger has made my life so much easier. I bought the 18v hedger along with the 18v hard surface sweeper and am very happy with my purchases.
Black & Decker NHT518-1 18-Volt 22-Inch Cordless Electric Hedge Trimmer I have purchased several of Black and Decker's 18v cordless shop and yard products, and this 22-inch cordless Hedge Trimmer is another HIT! I would recommend this to anyone who has bushes or hedges to trim. It is great for trimming where access to electricity is difficult or impossible. The trimmer does a wonderful, professional-looking job. The 18v battery comes with a charger, and one can trim fairly heavy / hefty bushes for about a half-hour on a battery's charge.
If you have the Black and Decker 18 volt family of battery powered products, then this is a fine addition. As a hedge trimmer, they are as powerful or more than most competitors. This unit is tough, light weight, and well balanced, with ergonomic attention to detail. I have had no problems with this or any other part of my family of B&D 18 volt rechargeables.
Black & Decker NHT518-1 18-Volt 22-Inch Cordless Electric Hedge Trimmer This unit has several outstanding features not readily apparent from the ad. Its utility is increased by the wider space between the teeth allowing it to cut larger shoots and the power of its motor allows it to make these cuts without jamming. The more obvious advantages are no power cord to accidentally cut or get caught on the hedge allowing a much shorter completion time. I would estimate that it took about 3/4 as long to do my front hedges as with my old corded hedge clipper - and I didn't need my hand clipper. Finally, since I also have the B&D Aligator lopper and pole saw which use the same 18v battery, 3 batteries gives me maximum versatility.
This product is tops for my purposes. Plenty of power and battery time. It is easy to use and it sure is nice not fighting the electric cord.
