Tools and Hardware Reviews of Black & Decker CST800 8-Inch 12-Volt Cordless Electric String Trimmer and EdgerCustomer Review: 8-15 minutes run time, 24 hours to charge between uses! Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this elsewhere, but it went back to the store unused when I discovered (through calling Black & Decker, as they didn't include this little detail at the store OR in the product manual) that the device requires a minimum of 24 hours of charging between uses!That wouldn't be a big deal, except it only runs for an advertised 8 to 15 minutes on one charge! I figured, trim, let it charge for a few hours, then trim more if I need to. But I'm not going to build my whole weekend around having enough time to get in an additional trimmer power charge!
Description of Black & Decker CST800 8-Inch 12-Volt Cordless Electric String Trimmer and EdgerTrim away the edges of an overgrown lawn without the tangles of a power cord or damaging the environment with exhaust fumes and oil leaks with this cordless string trimmer from renown yard and hardware pros Black & Decker. Ideal for a small yard or quick job, a 12-volt rechargeable battery powers the trimmer at a rate of 8500 revolves per minute. The lightweight trimmer also is easy to maneuver while reducing the back stress associated with heavier trimmers and push mowers. Black & Decker's cordless trimmer uses a .065-inch-diameter cutting line rather than a sharp blade to hack away overgrown grass with enhanced safety. The trimmer cuts an 8-inch breadth for fine pruning and includes a feed system bump to permit the line to move cleanly. To prevent unintentional start up, the trimmer includes an automatic lock-off switch. The trimmer's charger may be wall mounted for convenient trimmer storage while simultaneously recharging. The trimmer should be charged for 24 hours prior to initial use and should recharged regularly. Simple two-step assembly is required. Black & Decker offers a limited two-year warranty in the event of defective parts or construction. The trimmer weighs 6.5 pounds assembled. --Jessica Reuling No gas, no oil, no pull-cord to start, no extension cord to drag. It?s trimming in a perfect world. This Black & Decker cordless string trimmer is compact, super-lightweight, simple to use and quiet. The 12-volt battery carries enough power to trim up the average yard after mowing, and it?s truly so easy to use that you won?t even break a sweat. It?s only 6-1/2 pounds, and maneuverable? Like a dream. Yet it spins the line at 8,500 rpm, enough "oomph" to trim even the most resistant weeds and grasses. An 8-inch cutting path is ideal for the homeowner, too. It uses .065 line, which advances with a light bump. No complicated bells or confusing whistles?-just a basic trimmer that really gets the job done.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste 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.
