Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Lightweight, compact, and easy to use, the Black & Decker LHT120 22-inch electric hedge trimmer is ideal for trimming hedges plus small shrubs and bushes. It's powered by a 20-volt Max lithium-ion battery that offers a longer lifespan and retains its charge 5x longer than Black & Decker's 18-volt NiCad batteries--and you won't be limited by an extension cord. The battery is also designed with 50 percent less battery weight, and the unit weighs a total of 5.4 pounds with battery installed.
 Lightweight hedge trimmer is great for small bushes and shrubs (see larger image). |  Cut the extension cord and enjoy a long charge with the 20-volt lithium-ion battery (see larger image). |  Takes on branches with a diameter measuring up to 3/4-inch (see larger image). |
The pre-hardened, machined-steel, dual-action blade supplies 2400 cutting strokes per minute and takes on branches with a diameter measuring up to 3/4-inch. And the 22-inch dual-action blades cut branches faster and easier with 40 percent less vibration. A durable plastic body guards against wear and tear, and a lock-off switch helps prevent unintended start-ups.
The included Energy Star-qualified charger will charge a fully depleted battery in about 8 hours. You can also swap the battery among your other Black & Decker cordless lawn tools that are compatible with 20-volt Max lithium-ion batteries. A vinyl sheath is supplied for protecting the trimmer's blades while in storage. It's backed by a two-year limited warranty.

Amazon Vine™ Review
(What's this?)
When I first ordered this trimmer I was a sceptic, as my experiences with cordless yard tools has been disappointing, but the convenience persuaded me to give it a try. The devices box was a bit mangled (the larger Amazon box was fine), but it survived the trek intact. I threw the battery in the charger, which does a relatively quick job of charging such a big battery, but do know that a full charge tends to take up most of the day.
When I first slapped the battery on and tried out the unit, I was struck with how smooth it was. At first I attributed it to sheer weakness, but alas the claimed vibration reduction does work, as it certainly isn't week. The overall balance is also a plus, as it makes it a breeze to control, which is due in part to the lithium ion battery. It not only means no cord to drag or get cause, but it also means no big heavy battery either. All in all it's a success, and I'm sure my wife will appreciate not having frshly planted annuals torn up due to the unattentive cord management.

(What's this?)
[This review was written by my husband, who will be the principal user of the tool.]
This battery operated hedge trimmer is lightweight and has a design that allows for comfortable use. The blades occasionally got caught up on twigs, smaller than the 3/4" twigs that it is reportedly able to handle.
The blades never need to be sharpened. Further, nicks on the blade (as might be generated by accidentally hitting a hard object) need not be removed as long as the nick doesn't interfere with the movement of the blade. Nicks that do interfere with motion can be removed with a fine file. The fact that the battery pack can be used on other Black and Decker tools is a nice convenience.
The battery charger and battery pack must be handled with care, and there are lengthy instructions on how to do so. Some warnings were not obvious to me. For example, the battery should not be stored in a toolbox or drawer with loose nails or screws because these could short-circuit the battery's terminals and start fires. Including a plastic cap for the battery terminals could have circumvented this problem. It was also not obvious to me that it is dangerous to leave the battery charger plugged in without a battery in the cavity. If the terminals are that accessible, a plastic cap should have been supplied to keep fingers and debris from the terminal cavity. I found it disconcerting that the latter warning was not as prominently displayed as some more obvious ones, like "don't pull out the plug using the cord."
The blade sheath is made from thin vinyl and will likely be damaged after relatively few uses, especially given that it is not that easy to slip over the blade. A hard plastic sheath would solve both problems.
The trimmer comes with a two-year warranty. A defective trimmer may be returned to participating retailers for exchange (usually within 30 to 90 days). After that it must be taken or sent (prepaid) to a Black and Decker Service Center.

Unbelievable how great these trimmers work. I was expecting maybe 30 minutes run time with this battery, but I ran this thing for well over an hour before it ever started slowing down. I think that those who were saying that you might get half an hour out of this battery, were basing their experience on the Ni-Cad batteries. Believe me, the Ni-Cad battery can't hold a candle to this Litium-Ion. All my cutting was the normal type trimming on hedges that you do to keep them shaped up. I suppose if you cut nothing but heavy twigs with this trimmer, naturally your run time will be less. For normal cutting, like most of us do, this is a fantastic piece of machinery. It is HIGHLY recommended by this user.
