Tools and Hardware Reviews of Black & Decker GS500 3.6-Volt Cordless Grass Shear
Customer Review: Black & Decker GS500 Grass Shears
Summary: 5 Stars
Good product, works as advertised. After several years of weekly use, the batteries in my first one started to wear out (reduced working time), so I bought another one. That's the best endorsement I can give! Tips: Try to run the batteries completely down before recharging (they're NiCads), and replace the blades once in a while for top performance.Customer Review: Black &Decker Grass Shears

I've been using one of these for years, they do an excellent job, I came to Amazon to fine one, since the major home stores stopped carrying this peticular item, in fact I ordered two from you so they would last me for a few years. Would recommend this product to anyone. Amazon, was great to do business with, they shipped when they said they would and have made a customer out of me...Thank you Amazon.

Customer Review: Black & Decker Grass Shear
Summary: 4 Stars
This item is very good if you have a small lawn and want to keep it neatly edged. If you have a large lawn, a string trimmer might be more appropriate, due to the fact that the shear may run out of charge before you are finished, and a string trimmer is a lot faster. The shear is light enough to handle and does not wiggle around when cutting. The switch is a little hard to turn on but is probably engineered that way for safety. The blades cut the grass cleanly, and if they jam from the grass being too thick, they unjam easily. The blades last longer and cut better if you wipe off the grass sap between uses, and oil them lightly, as the manual instructs.
For a small area where you might ordinarily use hand clippers, this is a great little tool that saves a lot of time and keeps your hand from getting blistered. For me it was well worth the price--a great tool where hand clippers are not enough, but a string trimmer is overkill.

Was unable to use item since I have a bad back. The extension handle was never set for this item. I would not have ordered this item if I knew I would not get the extension handle.Customer Review: Difficult to run

Although the top button is a safety measure by design, it's very difficult to press the top button to unlock the shears and turn it on to use. Definitely not designed for the weak or elderly! As a result, we're shopping for new shears.
