Tools and Hardware Reviews of Black & Decker NHT518/NHT518L 18-Volt Cordless Electric Hedge Trimmer
Customer Review: B&D Cordless Hedge Trimmer mets our expectations!
Summary: 5 Stars
We are very pleased with the B&D 18 Volt 22" Cordless Hedge Trimmer.
There is about 140 feet of hedges, shrubs, and bushes next to the house. Other vegetation is located on the property that required maintaining too. The most challenging is the 14 foot tall Holly Shrub that this trimmer functions well with. The trimmer performs as good as the electrical trimmer we formerly used until replacing with this cordless trimmer.
The 22" cutting length fulfills our needs without any complaints. The trimmer possesses sufficient power to cut, and shape the hedges that we maintain. It is efficient to have on hand and keep everything trimmed back: just attach the battery, and does the job right, without any issues.
We will no longer be using the electrical trimmer and the cumbersome long cords. It is a pleasure to trim without dealing with the extension cords. We are sold on the cordless yard tools, discarding the the gas powered expect for the chain saw for downed trees. No more fighting with the obnoxious pull string gas operated weed eaters, edge trimmers, hedge trimmers, and noisy leaf blower.
We are aware that some persons complain about the B&D 18 volt batteries not meeting expectations or needs for time of charge for a battery. To remedy this, we purchased the B&D 90 Minute Quick Charger to which keeps the batteries fresh and available by rotating them, and disappointments. Typically the batteries are recharged much sooner that this. Since we have the B&D Pole Saw, Grass Trimmer, and this Hedge Trimmer we have 4 batteries therefore, no shortage of charged batteries for any project.
We recommend this B&D Hedge Trimmer, and will be converting to other B&D 18 volt lawn tools to complete a uniformed maintenance system, that use the same power source. The Power Scrubber with extension bar is next on the list to buy also will provide another battery as well.

Gets the job done for light trimming, but, I had hoped it would be a bit more powerful. A nice bonus is that the battery pack is interchangeable with my other Black & Decker cordless tools.Customer Review: B&D hedge trimmer
Summary: 4 Stars
Very well designed product. Light, well balanced, easy to use.
We had an earlier model that was 14.4 volts but this 18 volt unit is far superior.
As usual, buying the new unit was cheaper than replacing the batteries on the old one.
This unit handled all of our shrubs with no problem and is lightweight enough for my wife to use.
Customer Review: B&D hedge trimmer #NHT518
Summary: 5 Stars
This product works great. The cordless feature makes the job fun - it used to seem like work when I had to set up and drag a cord around. The convenience of using the same battery with my B&D grass trimmer/edger is very convenient. I use my grass trimmer every week or 2, and when I recently discovered some low hanging new growth on some trees at the back of my lot I just grabbed the hedge trimmer and plugged in the same battery I just used for grass trimming and the low hanging tree branches were quickly also cut. I have yet to not finish a trimming job with one battery charge. I've only used this trimmer twice, but am looking forward to the next chance to use it.Customer Review: B/D cordless hedge trimmer

Have purchased B/D cordless chain saw, hedge trimmer & weed eater and love all 3 items. Highly recommend them and had battery life to spare each time I used them. Great to eliminate need for gas and electric cords.
