This is a good value because you get more than just the shrubber and you pay less than the shrubber alone. The shrubber itself is quite light duty, mostly for thin, new growth. The additional tools are standard issue pruners, but decent quality. We also bought the extender handle offered for the shrubber and it comes in very handy for reaching very high bushes which we couldn't get to before (and we had to pay pruner guys a bunch just to get the high growth). The bag it comes in is good to store all the items in. Definately a very good value for light duty trimming.

Black and Decker went all out with this shrubber kit. I have no idea how they did all this for under $30, but they thought of everything. The pruner, bypass trimmer, and bag are great additions to the super capable cordless trimmer. They even include a pair of gloves!! The size of the trimmer is perfect for ornamentals and the charge lasts long enough to trim my entire landscape area in a single cutting. This is one of the greatest values I have ever experienced and Amazon is truly amazing to offer this kit at this price and into my home in about 3 days with FREE shipping.

I bought this on a whim after seeing it for $20 in the "bottom of the page" section. My expectations were fairly low, but Black & Decker products are usually pretty reliable, and what's $20?

The accessories that came with the pruner were nearly worth the $20 alone. A folding serrated blade and a sturdy pair of clippers, along with a decent pair of gloves. The bag itself is quite well-made, and seems built to last.

The pruner is slightly underpowered, but it gets the job done on smaller branches. Don't count on the battery lasting long enough for very heavy jobs, but at least you can plug it in with an extension cord.

For $20, it's a heck of a deal if you only need this for light work. However, if you're going to do some heavy trimming, spring for something more powerful.

The shrubber didn't come with the battery!! I assumed it would, but none was in the box, just the gaping hole in the back of the shrubber with nothing to plug the charger into. Nice kit, but not worth the price if I have to spend additional $$ for the battery.

This product is a great buy, specially with the two added gardening tools, gloves, and the bag included in the price.
The battery charges relatively fast, and lasts an appropriate amount of time. I had about five bushes in my backyard when I first bought this product and I could cut all of them with one "charging". Once the power runs out though, you can plug it up and use the trimmer while charging if the extension cord is long enough. However, the trimmer is not the most powerful one. It's more for thinner branches (other reviewers have already mentioned that). The other tools are not high-end quality, yet they are sturdy and get the job done.
I've had this product for over six years now and it's still working. Great buy!

What a brilliant kit. This Black & Decker product is excellent. I don't know what I would do without it, in fact, I just placed an additional order for two more.
