The Black & Decker CST800 Cordless Electric String Trimmer and Edger makes quick, easy work of grass trimming and weed whacking tasks using standard .065-inch line. Featuring an eight-inch cutting path and traditional, bump-style line advancement that lets you control when additional string is dispensed, this tool runs on a rechargeable 12-volt battery that makes battling against extension cords that are too short and finishing jobs smelling like exhaust things that you can put behind you. With the simplicity of electric startups, its perfect for small jobs, and at just 6.5 pounds it's both easy to control for precision edging and comfortable to work with, which means you don't have to worry about the strain pull starts and heavy machines put on your body. Also offering an automatic lock-off switch that prevents accidental startups for improved safety, this trimmer comes with a 12-volt battery and a wall-mount charger that can be installed near an outlet for easy recharging. This tool is backed by a limited 2-year warranty.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

NOT a heavy duty trimmer.
This trimmer is a little bit small, and the guard is a little small also. It is a well balanced unit and seems light enough to use, esp as a trimmer. When you turn it over to use as a edger is is a little difficult and off balance then. Also, like they said, if you beat it up against cement or rocks the line does tend to break. If you just want to trim grass and weeds, it works great for that. But if you want to dig down into the dirt to burn out the weeds or grass, then you will need a bit of patience as it will not do the heavy duty stuff as good as the corded trimmers do. They want you to leave it on the charger and the charger is made to hang on the wall. It does not tend to stay pluged in if you just lean the unit against the wall and try to plug the charger base in with out first mounting the base to the wall. But you can charge it that way if your careful to make sure that the light comes on. I plan to keep & use this unit, but I will not get rid of my corded trimmer. They both...

B&D 8" String Trimmer, What a Disappointment!
Simply put, this trimmer is suited for light jobs at best. I don't consider my application heavy duty. It's just your normal yard trimming around trees, fence, sidwalk, etc.
The .060 trim line just doesn't hold up and the bump line feeder either continually jammed or didn't work at all. During the first and only use, I had to take the feeder apart roughly 6 times.
The battery charge held up as I didn't loose power in the 15 minutes of actual operation time (not including repair time).
It is light weight and easy to handle. Easy assembly.
The unit was returned to the store after it's first use in exchange for a slightly more expensive gas trimmer.
I would give this a one rating, but I'll give this trimmer the benefit of the doubt in hopes it can function in maybe a smaller setting. However, like I said, my application is not heavy-duty.
More than a few minutes of trimming time per charge!!
I used this trimmer for the first time last night and it was GREAT!! I trimmed around my entire yard and it was still going strong! No cords or gas/oil mixtures to mess with is GREAT!!
Per the owners manual, you don't have to let the charge go completely "dead" before recharging, unlike some of the other cordless trimmers. When your done just hang it back on the wall bracket/charger(it was included), and it will be ready for the next time. It does need to be charged for 24 hours before the first use, but it was worth the wait!
