Tools and Hardware Reviews of Black & Decker 3.6-Volt Cordless Grass Shear #GS500
Customer Review: Safety is too hard to use
Summary: 2 Stars
While this is okay for light quick edging - it cuts through a reasonable thickness of grass & weeds - it is not easy turn on and keep on. The switch must be pushed forward and down with the thumb constantly in order to keep it on. Even in short bursts I still get a sore spot on the end of my thumb (forget about the ache in the knuckle). I have a friend with arthritus who can't even turn it on. My mom has an old one without the thumb safety switch and it is MUCH easier to use.
B&D, if you are reading this...PLEASE find a better switch. I've had mine for about 2 years and the already nasty switch is starting to go now. I have to jiggle it and adjust the pressure to get it to work at all.
Description of Black & Decker 3.6-Volt Cordless Grass Shear #GS500
When cutting grass, 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 Black & Decker 3.6-volt cordless grass shear is just what you need for detail trimming work such as around flower beds, trees, fences, and retaining walls; we found it to be especially useful in small, delicate, or difficult-to-reach areas, such as around bushes, vines, and ornamental grasses. Modeled after sheep-shearing clippers, the quiet buzzing of this little machine will give your grass a safe trim without knocking down your prized petunias. 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. This tool is backed by a full 2-year warranty.Ever find yourself in a situation where a hand tool is not enough, but a full-size power tool is too much?
