This review is from: Black & Decker TR017 2-4/5-Amp 17-Inch Electric Hedge Trimmer (Lawn & Patio)

I picked up one of these the other day and was pleasantly surprised. I was a little concerned the 2.8 amp motor would not be enough, but I couldn't pass up the great price. Turns out the 2.8 amp motor works great for what I need it for, which is just trimming the small bushes around the house. As long as your not trying to trim things bigger than 3/8" (like the manual states) it cuts through like butter. Great tool!

I bought this so that I, not my husband could do some pruning of shrubs, and it is so easy to use. It's very light and manageable. Definitely recommend, especially if a woman is doing the work.

This review is from: Black & Decker TR017 2-4/5-Amp 17-Inch Electric Hedge Trimmer (Lawn & Patio)

This product replaced a 30 year old hedge trimmer that was well worn.The Black and Decker is very light and easy to handle. It trims well up to the advertised 3/4" diameter branch. Originally I was looking at a product with a longer blade but this one is just fine for my purposes and very manageable. I would recommend it to anyone with an average yard needing seasonal pruning/trimming of shrubs/bushes.
