The NST1024 comes with a high-output 24-volt battery, so you can complete big jobs without interruption. View larger.
Powerful, Cordless Performance
Like all Black & Decker cordless string trimmers, the NST1024 delivers a high level of cutting performance without the hassles of gas, oil, or pull cords. It comes equipped with a long-lasting 24-volt battery pack and a newly developed 9,000-RPM motor. The motor gives the trimmer the juice it needs to quickly take down the tallest weeds and expertly trim along fences, houses, landscape beds, and more.

Two Cutting Modes to Meet Your Needs
The NST1024 boasts a patented gear drive transmission to dramatically increase power output over all other cordless trimmers on the market. And for optimum control of all that power, PowerCommandTM enables users to select between two cutting modes. Normal mode maximizes battery runtime, while Boost mode delivers twice the cutting power of leading 18-volt string trimmers.

Versatile, Comfortable, and Easy to Use
The adjustable aluminum shaft and soft no-slip grip areas make the NST1024 comfortable to use. With the touch of a single button, the trimmer head rotates and converts to an edger. To cap it off, the NST1024 trimmer uses Black & Decker's patented auto-feed spool system, which automatically advances the cutting line as it wears down.


In addition to power and versatility, the NST1024 offers an array of environmental advantages. Unlike gas-powered engines that produce a total of over one million tons of polluting air emissions a year, the NST1024 releases zero harmful emissions when cutting. In addition, its charging system is Energy Star certified.

As an added bonus, the NST1024 is much lighter, starts easier, and has lower operating costs than traditional gas-powered models. It is backed by a two-year warranty and 30-day risk-free trial.

Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
QUICK SUMMARY: This Black & Decker cordless trimmer/edger has more power to cut through stubborn St. Augustine grass shoots, but a few minor design complaints and a short-lived battery life keep it from being a 5-star product. Recommended!

What I LIKED:

- 24 volt battery pack creates power that rivals a gas-powered trimmer
- easily mowed through thick, overgrown, St. Augustine grass
- quickly cut the St. Augustine grass shoots spreading over my sidewalk
- uses its predecessor's 18-volt battery packs, too!
- assembly was a cinch to do
- stronger shaft is now made of strong, lightweight aluminum (not plastic)

What could be improved:

- the trigger to activate the trimmer/edger requires too much pressure to hold down, so using this unit for more than a few minutes grows tiring after a while
- removing and reinstalling the allen wrench (used to reposition the handle) is hard to do
- the battery life still isn't long-lasting enough to fully trim/edge my lawn
- adjusting the handle requires using the allen wrench, so it's not easy to have two people of different heights using the same trimmer/edger

Background:

This is my second Black and Decker cordless trimmer/edger. My first one has just about died now after a few years of use. The shaft on my old unit is made of plastic, and the weight of the unit stressed the middle of the shaft to the point where it cracked and had to be kept together using duct tape. I was happy to see, then, that this new Black & Decker trimmer/edger has a shaft made of aluminum now, which should be more durable.

I live in Florida, and our lawn is made of St. Augustine grass. If you're not familiar with St.

1.0 out of 5 stars Let's get real about this trimmer April 18, 2010
Purchased this trimmer several weeks ago and I've put it through it's paces since then. I have owned several Black & Decker products in the past and I must say I've never been more disappointed with one of their products.

You can talk all you want about what a nice job it does trimming and edging, but the bottom line is the current battery system they are using is woefully inadequate for all but the smallest of yards. 20 minutes of usable power is pathetic. Not to mention the 10 hours it takes to recharge the battery.

I almost choked when I saw they wanted $70 for a second 20 minute battery, and $35 for a 2-hour recharger. Are you kidding me? Black & Decker, if you're listening, prove to your customers you have their best interests at heart and come out with a corded adapter for this product. I would buy it in a heartbeat.

Otherwise, I cannot recommend this product in good faith.

5.0 out of 5 stars Minor Assembly Required - Powerful and adjustable March 22, 2010
Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
Spring is on its way here in Kansas, but it hasn't arrived yet, so I can't do a video review showing really cool weeds, but, since all of our snow had melted by this morning, I was able to experiment with this a bit on an early patch of grass in our front yard.

ASSEMBLY: There were three parts to assemble together, the cover and the front "bale" handle needed to be assembled to the basic edger.

The cover for the edger went on using ONE Phillips head screw. It assembled easily.

The bale handle was supposed to go on equally easily, however I ran into a slight snag, when the hex wrench (included in the top handle) wouldn't come out. I finally was able to pry it loose using a flat-head screwdriver. After that, it was a simple matter of removing the four screws, lining it up where I wanted it on the edger, and replacing the hex nut screws.

BATTERY: The battery comes without a full charge and it is recommended that you charge it completely before using it. The recommended time is 10 hours. The length of time the battery operates is based on speed. Information on Amp Hours and run time are included in the specs above.

Tim from "Tooltime" (Home Improvement) would get really excited about this tool, because not only does this powerful trimmer/edger have a 24 volt battery (instead of the standard 18 volt), but it also has 2 speeds! At the top speed, it will cut 60 square feet a minute - and spins at 9000 RPM. It made ME feel pretty powerful just turning it on!

The lower speed is intended for regular use and will conserve your battery.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent trimmer, made quick work of my messy yard April 3, 2010
Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
I have a yard designed to drive non-gardening folks like me crazy. Weeds grow like crazy and I have all kinds of fence lines, patios, sidewalks, etc. that constantly need work. I always hate edging in particular, due to the large size of my yard and the hassle of dealing with power cords, so this battery-powered model is right up my alley. I have tendinitis in my arms so heavy power tools can be a real problem for me, particularly cordless models with those heavy batteries attached. This is certainly not the lightest model out there but I found to be quite easy to handle and not bad for the amount of time I had to use it. The assembly was probably the most painful part of using it, but even that took me only about 10 minutes to do, less if I had bothered to open the manual.

Safety features are well in place, the edger ships with a cable tie in place to prevent it turning on until fully assembled and ready to use (and of course, I am outside frustrated at trying to get it to start before I noticed it!) As with most tools of its type, you have a two-button power system for safety. After charging the battery overnight, I gave it a run for its money. Set it to work on the weed factory that passes for a garden in my yard, and it went through everything like it was butter. Awesome! I didn't even need to try the higher power setting, it went through everything I needed it to fast and easy. The adjustable handle makes it very easy to set the right height for your size, and the swiveling head is a great feature to easily go from trimming to edging.

The NiCad battery of course is the only downside with these kinds of power tools, they are slow to charge and have limited life, particularly if you are not careful how you use them.
