Great for tackling mid-sized hedges and bushes, this Black & Decker trimmer offers users extended reach, with pre-hardened steel blades measuring 18 inches long. It's powered by a 2.4 amp motor, which yields 3,300 cutting strokes a minute and can chew through branches up to 3/8 inch thick. A large, three-sided handle provides comfort and control. Blades stay sharp and are rust-resistant. Other features include a lock-on switch--which keeps the trimmer running; a lock-off switch that prevents accidental starts; and cord retention to keep it from coming unplugged. The tool weighs 4.9 pounds, arrives fully assembled, and is covered by a full two-year warranty.
