GS500 Trimmer is useless ! You better have a strong thumb to keep the lock disengaged.^M
Poor Quality Blades The old blades they use to make before 1998 for this unit were top quality and would last you like 50 yard cuttings. The ones you pick up today only last like 8 yard cuttings before they get dull. They are very hard to sharpen with a file or dremel tool. I cannot get them to sharpen right so I'm forced to buy new blades often. The battery life is avg 30 - 45 mins.
3.6 volt says it all Look at the voltage of this unit. It is 3.6 and that is the amount of power you can expect to get out of it. It may cut though grass, but only if you do not try to cut to much at one time. Otherwise Black and Decker brand has always held up good for me and I think it is a good product for the price. |
