Tools and Hardware Reviews of American Gardener YS24 YardStick 10-Inch 24-Volt Cordless String Trimmer
Customer Review: Bought 3 of them!
Summary: 5 Stars
I like the power. I never had any luck with any Black & Decker battery
models--no horsepower.
I have a small yard--a tenth of an acre--and the battery lasts almost exactly
two years before it won't charge anymore. Then I take the battery out, take
it to Lowe's for recycling and buy a new model YardStick.
I don't know who made the decision to replace the reset button with a fuse
but I hope you enjoy whatever reward you received because you caused me pain.
My teenage son drags the unit on occasion, it overheats and I have to re-
place the fuse.
Overall, the unit does the job for me and I will continue to buy the
YardStick especially since my son is older and doesn't drag it as much.
Customer Review: Broke first time I used it
Summary: 2 Stars
Battery operated trimmer is a good idea but not this one. The first
time I used it the string cutter broke off. It had marginaly adequate power for trimming but I don't think it would handle anything too tough. My advice is leave this one alone. Wait until they reengineer the cuttter, because I promise you it will break.
Customer Review: Broke on the first use
Summary: 1 Stars
This thing is poorly constructed. Within 20 minutes of using it, it basically self-destructed. I've used many weed wackers. It first impressed me as being underpowered and with a small cutting radius, but I got the hang of using it. Then the cord broke off (as they often do). I took off the spool, re-extended the cord, and replaced the spool. When I turned it on and the cord hit the cutter (which trims the cord to length), instead of cutting the cord, it merely grabbed it, which then bent the cutter out of the way, and then the cord proceeded to smash up the protective plastic shield. Perhaps this is a fluke, but it seems poorly constructed to me.Customer Review: Can I Be In Love?
Summary: 5 Stars
Yes ar can, Yes ar can. I am inlove with my new yardstick. First day after it charged I was able to whack down my overgrown garden with out worring about cords or gas. And And And it is surprising lightweight!!! I'm inlove.Customer Review: Charge and GO!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I had gotten the last blister from trying to start the gas weedeater and sent it to the garbage. This Yardstick Trimmer is quieter and with easy stop and start, makes getting around the yard easier and safer. I have 2 acres of lawn and can do most of it in one charge. The gas weedeater had more power, but this Yardstick isn't a wimp. No more mixing fuel, no more blisters. Less polution and noise. I think it's just what I was looking for.
