Purchased a few years ago
I've had mine for a few years, didn't fall apart but were hardly used because they really don't cut but a few blades of grass at a time, dull from the get go.

      Totally Amazing
      My husband has been using these grass shears for years. We are lawn enthusiasts, ok we’re crazy about how our lawn looks. He has 3 of these on a charger at any given time. After mowing and trimming the grass, he goes around the entire yard trimming the edges of the grass. When you say a manicured lawn, just performing this last trim on the edge, gives it that final touch. We know the neighbors must think we’re crazy, but that’s ok because ours is the best in the subdivision! Thank you Black and Decker, we couldn’t have done it without you!!!!!

        Doesn't last any more than 2 seasons
        Husband purchased the grass shear for me two summers ago. First summer the product worked well. Second summer the battery barely held a charge for more then 30 minutes. This season, the battery doesn't hold a charge and now is smoking. Disappointed in the product and in Black and Decker.

          Better than expected
          I've had this tool for 2 months. I considered getting one of the "better" grass trimmers costing twice as much. I'm glad I didn't because this one does everything I need it to. It cuts through the heavy grass edges of my lawn here in Florida just fine. I've never had an issue with the power or charging

            Designed to last no longer than warranty
            Description is steel blades. Should be immediate follow up with EVERYTHING else is plastic. It will fall apart. Even the clips that hold it together are plastic. It is not designed to be a yard tool. My assumption is that it was intended to be used to keep plastic turf from getting out of control with any growth.Pure GARBAGE.

                This is the exact thing that we were looking for to trim grass around a headstone, where electricity can't be found. It is light and easy to handle. It recharges quickly. Works very well!

                not very good
                This item is not very good. The shears are not sharp and I needed to make several passes before anything was cut. It won't hold a charge. The product states that the more you use the more the battery will hold charge. This isn't true. I only kept it as long as I did because I hoped the more I used and recharged the shears would sustain longer use times. NOT true. After 10 minutes the thing died, I recharged for 18 hours before the indicator light began to flash, not go out as indicated in the instruction. Again only 10 min. of use before it died again. I will definitely be returning this product.

                Little Giant!
                I needed a trimmer that could get into those small areas and this little trimmer fill the bill! It's not something for a large area but certainly easy to use.....plug it in anywhere and ready to go!

                  Hand Held Trimmer
                  Good little trimmer for small jobs where you don't want to get out the weed wacker. Keep blades lubed with WD-40 and wear gloves so you don't chop your finger. I love this little trimmer.

                  I love these trimmers. They are convenient to grab for quick trim jobs and touch ups.

                    Good purchase
                    I originally purchased the combo grass shears/hedge clippers 3 years ago. Now, the batteries won't recharge, so I decided to purchase them again. Why the batteries can't be replaced is beyond me. I learned that you can purchase just the grass shears rather then the combo at a cheaper price. However, it is not available at the store but must be purchase on-line. The hedge trimmers only work with very thin branches, so they're pretty much useless. I am satisfied with the grass shears-remains to be seen how long the batteries last. I would definitely prefer that the batteries be replaceable!!!!! Oh yes, the hedge blade from my first purchase can be used with this product if you desired.

                    This is great for a quick trim when I don't want to get out the big trimmer and super for around my fairy garden!

                    Works Great!
                    These work really well so far. Only using them to edge along a fence so it's not using up all of the charge. Will have to see how long they last in the long run.

                    Not Worth 2 cents
                    My trimmer is less than 6 months old. I have had it on charge for a week an when I went to use it, it lasted less than 2 minutes. Save time and look at a different brand!!

                    Christmas gift to my nephew
                    I gave this product to my nephew as a Christmas gift, so I can't speak to its quality or ease of use. I know he is pleased to have received it. He won't be using it until next summer. I AM pleased however with the price and the fact that I could ship it directly to his wife, therefore avoiding payment of shipping two ways. Great service.

                    Blahhhh
                    I was really hoping this would do the job for me, but not.... I needed to trim grass around flower pots that my lawn mower doesn't reach. This was not sharp enough to cut anything, basically I just combed and fluffed the grass. I will just get a good pair of sharp scissors. I am returning this product to the store.

                    The grass shears is a pleasure to use, being handicapped and a senior this is exactly what I need for doing a little trimming here and there. The delivery was excellent and fast. Thank You!

                    Like the old model better
                    We have used the original Black & Decker rechargeable grass shears in the past and really liked them for trimming the ivy on our house. But apparently B&D discontinued the model that we have used in the past and came up with this new model. I do not like the new model, it is lighter, but I feel that it is more difficult to turn on, because of the safety feature, you need to hold a button down as you turn it on. Good for safety I guess, but the placement of the button makes it seem more awkward to me. The older model also offered a way to replace the blades when they became dull, but this one does not have that option. When the blades need to be replaced, you will need to buy a new one. It works, but I liked the old style much better.

                    good product- gets into small places
                    easy to use, a bit tricky to push button to activate, but cuts well and can get into small areas which is what I was looking for.
