This review is from: Black & Decker SSC1000 7.2-Volt Interchangeable Cordless Electric Shear/Shrubber (Lawn & Patio)

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.

I'll be trying to return this product. After charging the batteries for about 3-4 days, I was able to get 10 minutes from the unit trimming the grass. What a waste.

1.0 out of 5 stars It won't cut grass!!!!!!!!, August 17, 2006

This review is from: Black & Decker SSC1000 7.2-Volt Interchangeable Cordless Electric Shear/Shrubber (Lawn & Patio)

The blades on this unit are no good at all.

I tried to cut grass, and 50% of the grass gets pushed sideways between the top and bottom blade. You just have to keep working on the same spot of grass to get it all cut. I tried the shrubber blade, and it also did the same thing.

The blades also rusted overnight. Maybe stainless would be a better choice for the blades.

I also had trouble with battery life. I charged for 2 days, and I got about 10 minutes out of it.

I think Black&Decker needs to go back to the drawing board on the basics for this tool. I do love their other 18V yard products, but this one has to be returned.
