1.0 out of 5 stars Two in Less thanTwo Years
I've just returned my second B&D string trimmer for the same mechanical problem -- the spool flies off while in use. The grooves holding the spool onto the drive shaft eventually strip. I used this product approximately twice a month during the grass-cutting season (March through October)...not heavy use in my opinion. I can only recommend that you not waste your time...

1.0 out of 5 stars Left hand grip breaks due to inferior quality part, July 21, 2004
This review is from: Factory Reconditioned Black & Decker GH400R 12" Grass Hog String Trimmer (Lawn & Patio)
The metal left hand grip is attached to the handle with a flimsy plastic part that breaks from the vibrations of normal use. Mine broke after about 3 years of infrequent use in the Northeast. I stored the unit in a dark garage, so UV could not have been a factor. They should have named it "Glass Hog" instead of "Grass Hog". The time and effort required to replace the part, plus the cost of the part plus shipping, makes it uneconomic to repair the trimmer. Black & Decker design their products to last for the 2-year warranty period but not much more.
