Tools and Hardware Reviews of Black & Decker NPT318 18-Volt Cordless Electric Pole Hedge Trimmer
Customer Review: Just what I needed.
Summary: 4 Stars
I have a very steeply banked ditch in the front of my property. I couldn't get a mower or a weedeater to get in to cut the weeds down. I was thinking if someone would put a hedge trimmer on a shaft it would work perfectly. Along comes Black & Decker with their NPT318, the very tool I needed. It works great. For being battery powered it really mows down the weeds. The head angles to match the slope of the ditch. The only feature I would have included is a strap. It is heavier than a regular weed eater.Customer Review: B&D electric hedge pole trimmer
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this trimmer as I could not reach the top of my hedges with a normal trimmer. It works very well, although it is heavy to hold. I'm 74 years
old and may be this would not bother a younger person. Having it battery powered helps a lot.
Customer Review: Badly Designed
Summary: 2 Stars
This is ONLY for those shrubs that are up high and you would normally need a latter for, not normal height shrubs. I agree with the other reviewer that they need to make it so you can take the pole off or that tge main handle can telescope. Trying to use this on a normal shrub at knee level is ridiculious. It is too heavy and bulky to swing around for normal hedges. I took this back and got the 22' 18V and I love it.Customer Review: Cordless electric pole hedge trimmer
Summary: 4 Stars
Does the job with those bushes where long reach is necessary. I had no problem trimming various types of bushes as long as the battery is fully charged. As the battery runs down the cutting power is diminished. If your bushes require more than 40-50 minutes to trim you might want to invest in another battery or you'll have to spread the job over several days.Customer Review: Convenient But Not Heavy Duty
Summary: 3 Stars
My B&D NPT318 18-Volt Cordless Hedge Trimmer recently expired after an encounter with a branch about 3/4 inches thick or less. It was a little more 2 1/2 years old. It's lighter than a gas pole hedge trimmer but not nearly as powerful and not as much reach. The battery and cordless convenience make it a useful addition to the lawn manitenance arsenal if you can have both. This is a light duty unit, however, and if choosing between this and a quality gas pole hedger (or hedge attachment), go with the gas unit if you have significant hedges/trees to trim/shape.
