Editorial Reviews:

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.

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

I have had it for over a season and it works great on my pseudo landscaped quarter acre. It definitely worth not having to pay $30 for a landscape service to come. I have used a gas trimmer years ago and recall trying to pull the cord to get it to start. Buy an electric start gas push mower to go along with this trimmer. I love this trimmer. The hardest part about this product for me is trying to remember to go in the basement and switch out the batteries when charging them. Girls, if you have a husband, make him decide on which trimmer to buy but for yourself, you will love this.

Not good for someone with a bad back. Don't expect it to do well on very thick stalks or "weed whacking" as we call it on the farm, but it's great for small trimming. No messing with those aweful pull cords for starting. I do have to use both battery packs but it's nice that I have a third from my cordless drill if I need it.

Can't give it away. Have a 10 X 20 patch of grass in front and not worth getting a mower for. I have numerous Black and Decker Cordless items and thought this might fit my needs at work. This just did nothing. It sits waiting for one of my children to have a garage sale. I used a battery up and hardly cut any grass at all.

Pros: light, easy to carry, no cord, not as noisy and gas-poweredCons: battery runs out fast

My yard is a little over 1/2 acre and includes several flower beds, trees, storage shed, etc which all need to be trimmed around whenever I mow. Instant-on: just attach the battery pack and squeeze the trigger and you're ready to trim3. It is much lighter than the gas models, without being tethered to an extension cord like the plug-in models.2. I bought this based on the other positive reviews I saw here, and I have not been disappointed. It's a good thing this comes with two batteries for this size of yard, since the first battery starts to noticeably slow down after about 2/3 of the job. Not having to do maintenance on yet another small gas engine, worry about fuel/gas mixtures, etc The parts I trim with this are basically just grass, which it does fine with; it has a little harder time with thicker weeds, etc.The things that are great about it are:1.

I wasn't aware I'd have to assemble this. I rate this product "excellent". It wasn't difficult, however it did take a significant amount of time. The batteries and charger, as well as the trimmer, all work extremely well.
