This is a must have accesory for the trimmer for folks that have trouble bending over or kneeling.

i purchased my grass clipper last summer, without the extension handle and soon discovered that crawling around the yard on my hands and knees just plain hurts! so i bought the handle and within 5 minutes had it assembled and ready to go. it makes using the grass clipper much easier except for having to hold the on button continuously...my hand cramps up after about 15 minutes. but aside from that i think this is a great product.

The tool is manufactured to be replaced when the battery has to be replaced. On initial inquiries,local home centers will not repair it unless bought at their stores and under warranty. B&D charges $23 for the replacement battery and this does not include labor. If you understand its cheaper to get a new one instead of replacing the battery, then it's a nice tool.

Very handy and convenient. Easy to attach and remove. Saves a lot of stooping when not necessary. Adjustable for various sized individuals. I would highly recommend it.

We bought this when we bought the DS600K Shrubber because we intended to use the shrubber to reach very high growth on two of our bushes. It is very well designed in that you plug the shrubber into the bottom of the handle and then have power control available at the grip of the extender's handle. Also you can rotate the shrubber in a 45 degree angle at the base of the extender to better position it for reaching up for trimming. The missing star is because the weight of the shrubber on the end of the extender feels heavy and unbalanced.

This is a very nice accessory for the GS500/DS600. Save your knees and your back. Hooks up with ease and works beautifully. Can't go wrong with this purchase.

What a relief. I was bending over to trim the grass around the retaining walls of my garden. I had alot of trimming to do. I purchased the extension handle and it has saved my back. The only draw back is that if the ground is a little bumpy or the grass a bit to tall, the wheels get hung up. Worth it though. I'd buy it anyway.

The cordless shears work fine on their own, but the extension handle makes the job easier by allowing you to remain standing. You even get 2 little wheels to attach to the shears, so you can roll along the sidewalk or under the hedge.

This handle makes my grass trimmer the easiest item to use. I have not had it very long so I can not attest to its durability but it does the job for me

it's a good produt for someone that can'tget down to the ground to use this grass shears alone,withthe handle it's much easier, I like the product.
