- Is this trimmer good for a large yard?
- It is better suited to small and mid-size yards. The 12-inch cut and moderate power mean big lawns and heavy growth take longer than with a larger cordless trimmer.
- Can it cut thick weeds and brush?
- Only light growth. It is a string trimmer, not a brush cutter, and owners report it bogs down in tall, thick weeds.
- What comes in the box?
- The trimmer, two 20V MAX 5.0 Ah batteries, a charger and a spool of line. Check the listing for the exact charger type.
- Does it use the same batteries as other Black & Decker tools?
- Yes. It runs on the 20V MAX battery system, so batteries are shared with other tools in that line.
- How do I switch it from trimmer to edger?
- The head rotates to the edging position without tools. Press the release, turn the head and lock it in place.
- Is it hard to replace the line?
- It uses an automatic feed spool. Some owners find respooling fiddly, so buying pre-wound replacement spools is easier.
- Where is the Black & Decker 20 V MAX* 12 In. String Trimmer/Edger cheapest?
- At Lowe's, for $109.00, as of our latest check.
