Tools and Hardware Reviews of Black & Decker NPT318 18-Volt Cordless Electric Pole Hedge Trimmer
Customer Review: A Bit Heavy
Summary: 4 Stars
The pole trimmer works fine. It is top heavy because of the motor on the head. Not for a weakling. Cannot use it for long durations.Customer Review: A Lot Shorter than Advertised!
Summary: 2 Stars
After dropping $250 a year into having a landscaper trim my hemlocks (12 feet high-which is the only thing he does, I do all the rest anyway) I thought it made sense to buy my own hedge trimmer that was capable of long reaches. I spotted this unit for $129.00 in Lowes last year, but this year they don't have it. It turns out on Amazon it is cheaper anyway. My disspointment is the overall length. It is clearly marked on the box that the unit is 10 ft end to end, when in reality it is only about 6'5". I fiddled with it for 20 minutes figuring it must extend. I called B&D customer service and the nice girl on the phone explained "they didn't do a good job of describing the machine, it's 10 feet when you extend your arms". I gotta tell you - I'm 6'6" and even so there's no way my arms extend 3.5 feet.
I think based on the reviews this machine will still work OK - but buyer beware - it doesn't have the reach that is clearly labeled on the box.
Customer Review: A bit heavy but does the job well
Summary: 5 Stars
Has a bit of weight that will require rest breaks if you're not in the best shape. I'm 60, in reasonable physical shape and do not find the weight to be a significant drawback considering how effectively this product performs. The adjustable angle is wonderful and helps with pruning hedges of various heights. I'll gladly put up with the bit of extra weight considering I do not have to constantly climb up and down a ladder moving it constantly along a long row of hedge. I think this is an effective and innovative product. Good job B&D!Customer Review: A great timesaver

Best purchase I've made in a long time. Easy to use. Can complete trim jobs that formerly took four to five hours in about one hour.
