Amazon.com Review
Ever find yourself in a situation where a hand tool is not enough, but a full-size power tool is too much? Black & Decker's cordless grass shear is just what you need for detail work around flower beds, trees, fences, retaining walls--you name it. Modeled along the lines of sheep-shearing clippers, the quiet buzzing of this little machine will give your grass a safe trim without knocking down your prized petunias. We found it to be especially useful in small, delicate, or difficult-to-reach areas, such as around bushes, vines, and ornamental grasses. Note that this model was not designed for large or lengthy jobs: the battery charge lasts only up to 35 minutes, and the 3-inch shearing blades will not cover ground as efficiently as the spinning line of a string trimmer. Although the unit is extremely lightweight and easy to maneuver, it does require that you keep the trigger pressed to engage the blades, which can cause hand fatigue after about 15 minutes of constant use. A safety latch prevents accidental start-up. --Michelle McSweeney

 Get What You Pay For July 6, 2010
D. Macdonald (Upstate New York, USA)
I agree with the customers who say you get what you pay for with this item. It is not very good for taller or wet grass, but for keeping shorter grass trimmed I find it works fine. Since this is what I use it for, I do not have to go beyond about 25-30 minutes at a clip (sorry about that), so battery length has not been a problem. If you have a large yard or plan to trim only when the grass gets longer, I would look elsewhere for a heavier duty machine. If you are looking for relatively light duties, this one works fine.

I was disappointed in the life of the battery. After less than a year, I had to take the shears to a repair depot to have the battery replaced. Now, again, the unit is not functionable because the battery is dead.
 Bad Choice June 12, 2010
Grimes (Texas)
This didn't work at all. It wouldn't even cut my grass. Holds about a 5 minute charge.

The product work well, but the problem is the short time of battery, only 30 minutes and need 16 hours to charge.
