BLACK+DECKER 40V MAX* Lithium 24 inch Hedge Trimmer - Battery and Charger Not Included, (LHT2436B)

Husband loves it. Easy to handle.

I like the weight and size of the products

Great product

This does not hold a charge for very long. It also comes with only one battery so you have to share it both tools. I leave it constantly charging. If you unplug it, it loses charge. I edge my grass in my front yard. My yard is very small. I have to immediately place it back on the charger. I can then mow my yard but cannot use the blower just yet because it is still charging. So Im not too happy with it. They are both lightweight tools and when charged do work good but again, the battery doesn't stay charged long enough. I feel the tools are made cheaply. They could easily be broken if not stored. The weedeater also replenishes by itself so no need to "tap" it on the ground when more string is needed but I'm not sure how to replace it when needed. I wish atleast two batteries were supplied and I wish the charge would last longer. Otherwise, if you have a small yard these will do. But not a large yard. And I would not be able to complete my front and back yard on the same day because charging takes forever. I charged it the first time and it took over 4 hours to get a full charge. I used the blower once and then the battery had to be recharged again already.

This hedge trimmer is strong enough for me to cut down all my shrubs (up to 3/4 inch diameter), saplings like the ones that pop up every year around my 60 yr and reduce flowers on the old branches of my old Lilac trees I don't like gas power tools (messy, heavy). For my small landscaping the battery lasts at least 45 minutes and recharges in a few hours, when I do lighter gardening. The tool is quieter than gas but still makes noise. It does give you a reach to keep you away from prickers. The batteries may only last 2 years (keep warm in winter), but the tool is a good price light enough to work at waist height, and with proper cleaning will last several years, as will chargers.
