Amazon.com Product Description

Designed for light- to medium-duty trimming of hedges, bushes, and shrubbery, this handy yard maintenance tool from Black & Decker is loaded with features that ensure efficient and safe operation. The lightweight and easy-to-handle TR1600 features a 16-inch steel blade that resists rust and is pre-hardened for longlasting, reliable performance. Most importantly, this blade supplies 3,300 cutting strokes per minute and takes on branches with a diameter measuring up to 3/8 inch. Besides its powerful, reliable performance, the TR1600 is specially designed to prevent some common--and potentially dangerous--problems that can hamper operation. First, a lock-on switch allows for uninterrupted run-time, while a lock-off switch guards against unintended start-ups--a great feature for those with children. Finally, a cord retention system ensures that you won't accidentally unplug the TR1600 as you're working. For added convenience, this tool requires no assembly so it's ready to go right out of the box.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very effective trimmer, October 5, 2004

By

This review is from: Black & Decker 16-Inch Hedge Trimmer TR1600 (Lawn & Patio)

Positive: I found this to be a great trimmer . It quickly and effectively cut through branches up to 3/8 of an inch (as stated in the manual) and was light and easy to use. While I might not suggest it if you have a great number of bushes to deal with, it sure worked really well with the four or five that I trimmed down and shaped.

Negative: The only issue I had with it is the built-in cord holder. If you plan on using a 25 (or 50 foot) extension cord, I would venture a guess that you should be using a 16 (or 14) guage cord, and the hole for the cord to loop through is a little tight.

I bought this months ago, and after using it myself, my daughter borrowed it and she also loves it. I wouldn't be surprised if she bought one for herself (she is NOT keeping MINE). It's lightweight, and easy for a woman to handle.

Being 60 and female and needing to shape up some boxwoods, I have found this trimmer is just the fit for the job. It is lightweight enough, yet powerful enough for me to get the job done. The weight and overall size allowed me to shape up my shrubbery with minimum effort and time and with results that I am proud of. I am extremely happy with my new trimmer!
