Tools and Hardware Reviews of Black & Decker GS500 3.6-Volt Cordless Grass Shear
Customer Review: Quick jobs
Summary: 3 Stars
This would be great for small jobs. The only fault is the charge only permits approx. 35 mins. use.Customer Review: Rechargeable Doorstop
Summary: 1 Stars
Worthless waste of money. Trimmer jams at the faintest hint of thick grass. Holds a charge long enough to cut about 15 feet of edging, then dies. Won't run when plugged in so doesn't even work as a corded trimmer. I use these to prop open the shed door so I can find the hand trimmers to actually edge my lawn.Customer Review: Righr tool;right price.
Summary: 5 Stars
I had difficulty ordering my replacement from another supplier. It did not accomodate the features I needed to match those of my old one. Amazon came through.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.

I was disappointed in the life of the battery. After less than a year, I had to take the shears to a repair depot to have the battery replaced. Now, again, the unit is not functionable because the battery is dead.
