... I would like to comment on the reconditioned 22" hedge-trimmer. Having purchased factory reconditioned materials from you in the past, and purchased factory reconditioned stuff from other places,I personally don't have a problem with reconditioned materials. I have used wood-working tools, and mechenics tools for the last 25 years and used them very hard. Most of the time the factory-reconditioned
tools held up as well or even outlasted the new tools that I had purchased . For the last 25 years I have been a professional service tech. in a auto dealer, and have done wood-working on the side until I was disabled in an auto accident in 1997. So now that I'm disabled I look for the reconditioned stuff for finiancial reasons, and trust me they work wonderfully. I have no problems purchasing them. Nor would I at any time. ...

Last year I bought a lawn mower; my wife was so satisfied with this purchase from Amazon, that this was the first place she looked when shopping for a badly needed hedge trimmer.

Suffice to say, we were not disappointed. The purchase arrived at our home from the Amazon.com Tool Crib in North Dakota in a timely manner via UPS; the hedge trimmer was already assembled, in mint condition (for a reconditioned item), and it came with a new purchase warranty, but not at a new-purchase price.

It is an excellent trimmer; sturdy, lightweight and easily manuverable. My 100lb. wife took a turn playing with it and was able to wield this baby in a manner that make a fan of the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" movies proud!

For the price, I would highly recommend this product, if you are in the market for a good, reliable, sturdy and easy-to-use hedge trimmer.

I am so pleased with this purchase, I won't think twice about making another tool or lawncare purchase thorugh Amazon.com.

I wanted a reconditioned tool because the cost was cheaper than a brand new one. Considering I do yardwork only 1-2 times per month, I didn't need a "really good" one.

This B&D trimmer did a good job on branches up to 3/8" thick. Anything thicker will result in "tearing" instead of cutting.

It's fairly loud and the ergonomics are not that great. However, for the price I paid here on Amazon, it is a good deal.

If you are looking for a trimmer that can deal with shrubs and bushes in the heat, or extended running time, this is it! The price is appropriate, and the quality that you will get from it is outstanding!
