Black & Decker NST2018 18-Volt Cordless Electric 12-Inch Grass Hog String Trimmer With Two Batteries

The Black & Decker 18-Volt Cordless Grass Hog Trimmer/Edger puts the finishing touches on any lawn or garden. There are no extension cords or gas engines to maintain, and the light weight adds to simplified operation. A large 12-inch cutting path covers a lot of groud in a single pass when trimming, and the tool offers deep, defined borders when switched over to edging. Black & DeckerÆs patented gear drive transmission delivers the most power and cutting performance of any cordless trimmer in this voltage class.


An intuitive, easy-to-use design helped the NST2018 win its designation as a Consumers Digest Best Buy. View larger.
Edging and Trimming in One Tool
The Grass Hog Trimmer/Edger combines two tools in one to make lawn and garden care more convenient. Use the tool's edger function to add borders to your pathways and flower beds, which helps to fight weeds and define the areas in your yard. Flip the head back over to a trimming tool to clip grass around delicate plants or in tight corners, giving your grounds a clean, manicured look. The large 12-inch cut path makes it possible to complete your yard work in less time.

Integrated Features for Performance and Comfort
Black & Decker's Automatic Feed Spool keeps the line at a constant perfect length for trimming, so you can finish your tasks without interruption. The shaft telescopes to fit your height, and an adjustable handle makes holding and operating the trimmer/edger comfortable for all users.

Extended Range of Use with Cordless, Rechargeable Power
With its 18-volt battery, the trimmer/edger lets you tend to the most remote areas on your property without the hassle of winding extension cords or maintaining gas or oil engines. The Grass Hog includes two batteries--use one and keep the other in the included charger so it's ready the next time you need it. The battery also works with other select cordless Black & Decker lawn tools for added convenience.

The rechargeable power greatly reduces noise and emission pollution associated with gas engines to protect your hearing and environment.

The Black & Decker 18-Volt Cordless Electric Grass Hog Trimmer/Edger is covered by a two-year warranty.

What's in the Box
18-Volt 12" Cordless Trimmer / Edger, 18-volt battery charger, two 18-volt batteries #244760-00


Clean, cord-free battery power allows for effective trimming, and the switch from trimmer to edger is always a simple, tool-free task.


Customer Review: Light, easy to use
I was looking for a cordless trimmer to use around my small yard. This trimmer works perfectly for what I need it for. The trimmer comes with an extra battery, which would be needed if your yard is large, I can use it twice before it runs out. The adjustable cover makes edging easy. Overall a great trimmer for those that have a small to medium sized yard.
Customer Review: Great Trimmer for Beginners
This is an awesome trimmer for people who are just starting out working on their yard. It is light weight and easy to maneuver. There is definitely a learning curve when trimming and edging and my yard may not be as perfect as a professionally manicured lawn, but it looks pretty darn good if I do say so myself. I would highly recommend this trimmer, especially for people with small yards. (I have been warned that the batteries may not last very long, but with my small yard, I haven't had any problems.) Happy gardening!

Black & Decker RS-136 String Trimmer Replacement Spool

The Black & Decker String Trimmer Replacement Spool eliminates the tediousness of hand-winding most bump feed string trimmers. The 20-foot replacement spool is factory wound for optimum performance and includes a .065-inch diameter line. It is compatible with Black & Decker string trimmer models: #ST1000, #ST3000, #ST4000, #ST4050, #ST4500, #ST5000, #GE600, #ST200, #ST300, #ST400, #CST800, and #ST6800.
Customer Review: Great Replacement Spool
This spool is a great replacement piece, however if you need more line & you have the time to roll out line Wal-Mart sells over 200 feet for only #=$3.47. However you will have to roll on to the spool by hand which really doesn't take that long.
Customer Review: B&D String
We bought this product because we needed a spool replacement for our weed whacker. Unfortunately, when this string breaks, it breaks inside the spool so you need to open the whole thing up to pull the string to the outside. That gets really old to have to take it apart every time the string breaks.

Weed Eater .080-Inch by 150-Foot Bulk String Trimmer Line Premium 5 Edge #952701687

Weed Eater/Poulan Pro .080-Inch by 150-Foot Bulk Line Premium 5 Edge #952701687. Ideal for a home owner or professional. 080-inch-by-150-foot grass trimmer line provides great quality and the best brand in the industry. This Poulan Pro trimmer line is long-lasting and gets the job done.
Customer Review: Affordable and easy to wind
I have been having a difficult time finding the replacement spool for my string trimmer so I picked this up and was able to wind my spool completely with plenty left over. The big test came in actual use and this exceeded all expecations. Since this provides enough line to wind 7 spools it's also very cost effective. After I wound my spool I let it sit for a few days before use, although I do not know if this was necessary, but I thought it might help the spool keep it's shape better. This string is just a bit thicker than my old string trimmer was accustomed to, but it worked out perfectly, and the remaining string remains in the packaging neatly.

Factory Reconditioned Ryobi 15-Inch 6 Amp Electric String Trimmer #ZRRY41002

Ryobi 15" Curved Shaft Electric String Trimmer. Accepts Expand-it attachments converting to a pruner, edger, blower, tiller, straight shaft trimmer, and brush cutter (attachments sold separately).
Customer Review: Major Lack of Quality Control!
I received this trimmer not knowing what to expect from reading the other reviews of this product. The trimmer motor unit looked well used, maybe what one would expect after 1 week of use. My major disappointment was finding the lower trimmer attachment tube was crushed to the point it would not come close to attaching to the head unit. After discussing this with the CPO rep, they did not have a replacement to exchange but gave me the number of an authorized Ryobi dealer, whom seemed clueless with regard to the reconditioned warranty. I finally took matters into my own hands and reshaped the end with pliers and a screwdriver. It now fits! BTW, you will get a cert saying this product "..passed a rigorous series of tests"...BS! BTW the handle and guard included were new.
Customer Review: most ruggedize electric on the market
This electric trimmer has power and adaptability. Several attachment from even other machines will operate on the trimmer. Blower, Blade edger, & small tiller.I used my previous Ryobi electric for about 15 years.

Troy-Bilt TB525CS 17-Inch 29cc 4-Cycle Gas Powered Clutched Curve Shaft String Trimmer

REVIEW:The joys of the four-cycle engine are many. First, they run on straight gas, so there's no need to prepare an oil-gas mixture. Second, they give you more torque at a greater range of speeds. Third, they run quieter than two-cycle engines and produce fewer emissions. As with most good things, however, there is also a downside: Two-cycle engines will give you more horsepower, pound for pound, than four-cycle engines (in other words, they're lighter per HP).

The question, then, is whether you're willing to put up with a little more weight or sacrifice some HP in order to have a clean, quiet cut. (In some states, this decision may already have been made for you-there seems to be a trend toward mandating that two-cycle engines be retrofitted with catalytic converters.)

If the answer is yes, then Troy-Bilt's 29 cc curve-shaft trimmer is a great option. At 13 pounds it's lighter than older four-cycle models, and it has a wide 17-inch cutting swath. It features "SpringAssist" starting, which means you don't have to yank on the pull-cord-a slow and steady pull will get the thing started. This trimmer is well-balanced, and the curved shaft and adjustable D-handle make for comfortable use. Like most trimmers, this one includes a bump-head line release; Troy-Bilt's "SpeedSpool" system means quick, easy line replacement. As an added bonus, it's compatible with interchangeable Troy-Bilt attachments, too.

Overall, a powerful trimmer that's comfortable to use, clean, and quiet. Two-year limited warranty. For a comparable trimmer with a straight shaft, see Troy-Bilt's model #TB575SS.--Josh Dettweiler

What's in the Box
Trimmer with adjustable D-handle; oil included in carton


Customer Review: line feed has issues
I purchased this trimmer from a local Lowe's & don't know if the problems I encountered was a Troy-Bilt or a Lowe's problem. I suspect that it's both. The trimmer started with some effort, but once running it was powerful & worked well UNTIL I had to change the line, then the trouble started. I followed the directions very carefully & every time the line started to advance ON ITS OWN (not bumping the head at all) & in 1 minute the line was all gone. I tried to restring several times but no luck. Took it back to Lowe's & got the lame excuse "I'm not familiar with that head" & got put into another TB trimmer (the TB514CS). That trimmer also had line feed issues with similar results from Lowe's (see my review of that trimmer on this site & the Troy-Bilt site). I have had great results from a Homelite 2-cycle trimmer that I have used for many years, replacing the string on the spool and all with no problems, so it's not like I'm inexperienced with trimmers & lawn equipment. So now I have no working trimmer & will definitely try a different retailer. The manager at Lowe's got an earful however.
Customer Review: Line feed was a problem
Bought this one at Lowes 3 weekends back. Starting the trimmer was a very smooth operation. Just followed the procedure exactly the way they had described. It vibrates quite a bit, but you get used to it. After exactly 3 feet of trimming the string broke. I tried bumping the head to release the line but that didn't do anything. Opened the head to find out that the string had welded inside to the plastic and wouldn't move. So had to remove and wind both the strings again. After about 20 feet more the string gave way again. Again, followed the instructions to release the line, by bumping it on the surface, didn't work. I opened the head again and found out this time the string was just stuck and wouldn't move. After about an hour of fighting around I gave up. Started the trimmer the next weekend and had to stop 3 times to fight with the string release. On the 4th try, I emptied the gas tank, drove back to Lowes, and got my money back. I am now again on a lookout for a 4-cycle trimmer.

Ten-inch, high-traction wheels truck over rough terrain that'd easily roll other wheeled trimmers. A heavy-duty cutting head is built for years of brutal use. A dual exit for the fixed-line offers twice the cutting power while a cushioned handle offers optimal comfort and control. The purchase includes trimmer line and is covered by a Poulan 2-year warranty. Brian D. Olson
Customer Review: Piece of junk!!!
Don't purchase this item. I purchased it for my husband for Father's day. When it came, it wouldn't start, called the company and they gave us a local repr for repair. He stated it would cost more than it is worth to fix it so I sent it back. Know I have to deal with Amazon, to get my money back which I doubt I will never get because of their return policy. Very discouraged and felt Amazon purchased rejects from Weed Eater to dump on their customers. I will never order from AMAZON's warehouse again.Weed Eater WT3100 16-Inch 31cc 2-Cycle Gas Powered Dual-Cut Wheeled String Trimmer

Customer Review: Great machine
I bought this for the weed eater attachment, I will use the saw some but mostly the weed eater. Shipped on time tracked it online, amazon used fedex. arrived in orginal box so it was no wondering what it was. No damage from shipping. Started great, 2 pulls, but I did follow the instructions and the advice others gave here, push the priming button 6 times. Weed eater attachement works great but just some getting used to with the angle and not a straight shaft, that is the only reason it is 4 and not 5 stars. Saw worked good, I would stay that I used this for about 45-60 min and must of started and stoped it 4-5 times and I moved branches and changed attachments. After it was warm it started on first pull. give it some gas before you tilt it upward to cut a branch, or it won't have the power. Great machine works great,
Customer Review: Poulan Pro PP446ET
This item has performed very nicely for what I had hoped to use it for. It is a bit heavier than I thought it would be (most noticeable when reaching for those tall branches)but it is getting the job done. I also purchased the brush cutter option for this and it also does a nice job cutting. It was delivered exactly on time and the cost (I researched!) was the best with Amazon Am VERY pleased with the whole system. -Fred in Sandown NH
