Tools and Hardware Reviews of Black & Decker SSC1000 7.2-Volt Interchangeable Cordless Electric Shear/Shrubber
Customer Review: Piece of Junk
Summary: 1 Stars
We've had many trimmers over the years. These by far are the worst we've ever had.
The problem is the design of both the grass shears and the mini hedge shears. They do not cut anything. They are dull and set too far apart to effectively cut anything.
Plus for a 7.2 volt, which should be very powerful and have a long life battery this machine fails.
I usually love Black and Decker items, but these were returned after 10 minutes of attempted use.
Customer Review: Poor battery choice by Black & Decker
Summary: 1 Stars
The battery life is poor in this unit. Black and Decker still uses the old battery technology of NI-CD (Nickel Cadmium). This bad for the environment since it is a toxic heavy metal and poor charge life characteristics
[..]
They should change to NI-MH or lithium technology.
I would not consider this unit until they change the battery technology which they have on other selected products.
Until then, you are buying a limited life product with extremely harmful side effects.
Customer Review: Rechargeable Black and Decker Shrub Trimmer
Summary: 4 Stars
I really love this product. It works well for trimming shrubs and grasses and is very lightweight. The only drawbacks are if it gets caught on something it cannot cut, it is very difficult to get it freed up. Another drawback is length of battery charge. I have four shrubs to trim and battery only lasts long enough to do about 1 1/2 and then must be recharged.Customer Review: Shear Happiness
Summary: 5 Stars
Works much better than the previous one which easliy stopped when cutting thick grass. Feels much more powerfull and does not slow down. Heve not yet tried the shrubbver attachment but I did not intend to use it for that purpose. I would recommend this unit over the lower priced and performing units.Customer Review: Shrub Sculpture Tool
Summary: 5 Stars
Ths is the perfect tool for sculpting your shrubs....not necessarily for small topiary, but it's good for the amateur gardeners who want to make interesting shapes out of boring shrubs. It will even work to keep the boring ones in shape!
ps: It is hard to find in the stores.
