Beast of a tool.  Bye bye weeds.

This think is slightly head end heavy but that's what makes it a beast. You can rip weeds off the surface, dig them out if you want with ease.  After a few days use, I don't see what some others say about the edge getting nicked.  Had some weeds that I couldn't pull out with my whole body weight pulling, but this ripped them out with ease. Like if an axe and hoe had a child.

Useful, simple tool. The hefty weight and long handle gives it power. Dig holes, and scrape shallow weeds with blade edge. Dig, till and weed with tong side of tool. Sometimes tongs clog up, but that is unavoidable. I have many garden tools, but always use this one.  (or the other similar terra mattock.)

Installed this on a Bolens without issue and I'm now able to weed wack the whole yard without having to stop and feed new line multiple times.  I also bought a spool of Lonoize .130 line to go with it and it's a beast!!

Love this tool! It is my go to tool for much of my weeding, hoeing and even racking. Bought one for my kids to clear an empty lot and it was fantastic. Super strong; great angled grip and works well pulling weeds out and pushing to dislodge roots. The extra long handle really saves my back (I'm tall).
My neighbor has started borrowing it too.

I own this very tool after seeing it in a burpee's catalog then I went on Youtube and saw the video on how it works. Then I bought here on Amazon Ordered on May 12, 2014, for $19.99 and was the best thing I did for my garden. As I sat out in the mornings & afternoons in my weed-filled front yard I worked at it every day. Until I cleared it down to dirt and then we added mulch and plants in pots & added peonies plants and lilac bushes. On the other half with the same tool, I cleared at least another 5 feet of dead weeds with my trusty CobraHead and I added a butterfly plant, a pebbled design in the front yard. Next will be the backyard and along the fence. This is better than trying to use your gloves or a flat head screwdriver to try and pick it out of the yard. You take the point and tap, tap pull back towards you. The weeds are tough but it get's right under and they come out with ease. It, cultivates, scalps, edges, digs, furrows, plants, transplants, de-thatches, and harvests with ease. Such a smart tool.

Excellent performance.  I had weedville USA and it ripped right through some seriously high dense weeds and grasses.  The edging worked great as well.

Has reduced my weeding time by 90% and eliminates the back breaking part of constantly bending over. I have been reckless with this action hoe and have yanked up numerous seedlings and other plants by accident (oops!), but that's just how quick and efficient it is! You just get so carried away from not having to bend over and manually pull out every weed that you just go to town!

To those wondering, yes it does have wiggle, that's the point of this device, so do not be alarmed. I purchased this for $25 back in April of 2016...I see now it's $18. Definitely worth either price! This is a MUST if you garden w/o mulch.

Great tool.  Recommend it highly for those who want to remove weeds from walkways and driveways.

I love this thing, its awesome. The ground on my lot is very hard dry clay that is really hard to dig by hand. This thing slices through it like a hot knife. 30-40 seconds per hole.

I wanted to get the most powerful engine I could find, however I didn't consider just how weak it would make me look. Hit a heavy root or rock in the ground, the auger stops turning so the engine tries to turn instead. You hold the engine part, and so a couple of times it has almost torn my hands clean off my arms! To the point where my wrists are still achey a week later.

But don't let that discourage you, this is a mans tool, so stop whining!

Edit: Forgot to mention, when I was looking to buy it there were several reviews complaining about the smoke. I have five 2 stroke things, from a chainsaw to dirt bikes. This is one of the better engines for smoke, there was very little from mine. It is also the second easiest to start, pretty much always on the second pull, no matter hot or cold (Echo weed eater is the easiest to start every time).

This product changed my life.  It cuts great and doesn't bind.  It now takes me about a third of the time to weed eat my yard.

I have a yard full of creeping Charlie, carpetweed, chickweed, dandelions and broadleaf.  This tool wipes them all out without any effort.  I LOVE it

This thing eats through weeds like a hot knife through butter.  Because it has an automatic line feeder, you never need to pause working to draw out more line.  It's easy and fun to use.  It can be a bit heavy, so you might need to take breaks occasionally to recharge your muscles.  Do not even think of using the Grass Hog without wearing shoes that cover your feet (no sandals), thick long pants, and eye protection (long sleeved shirt and gloves are also a good idea).  This baby can and will kick up dirt, rocks, and other debris and send it hurling at your face and other body parts.  The line will easily cut flesh, so keep your feet and legs away from it!  I've used a lot of weed whackers, and this one is easily the best.

i had no idea they made these until i saw a used one on CL. I decided to buy new instead. This is the best trimmer weed wacker i've ever seen. no more carrying heavy equipment, no more long cords on electric ones. This will go any where on my 5 acres and will cut thru anything. Be careful around fence because it can mangle that. Our property never looked so good!

I Love This!  Probably the best gardening tool I have ever purchased.  I have no complaints about it.  I love never messing with the the string, even though the batteries die out after about 30 mins, it gets a lot of work done in that time.  The edger is great, and that seems to be what I use the most.  I have a riding lawn mower for our large lawn in front, but on the edges, it pushes the grass down, so this worked great to keep it edged, saving finishing work for my husband.  We have a small strip in back that the rider can't get to and that is why I got this.  Our electric mower died.  This mowed it just fine, good enough to keep tit down.  Even though it is not low and tight, like a traditional mow, it is sufficient.  I ended up using it as a weed eater and edger more than I anticipated, but just extremely pleased with its performance and versatility!  Good job, Black and Decker!

I haven't found anything to complain about with this tool...period. I've been using it daily to clear a VERY overgrown area in the back of my house that hasn't had a blade put to it since before February of this year. I've cut down weeds that are 2 - 3 feet high with this trimmer. For the thickness of the foliage that I'm clearing, I also carry a machete. This trimmer has cut weeds up to about 1/2" thick! For stems thicker than 1/2" or if the trimmer struggles to cut through a thick weed stem, I hack it down with the machete. I recommend getting a machete and using it in conjunction with the weed trimmer to avoid the problem some reviewers have whined about going through string too fast. The replacement spools (AF-100) are only about $8 a piece for 30 feet of line, but I'm still on my first spool. This tool is light weight enough for me to lift it up by the shaft and trim the top of the fence around my property where the neighbor's weeds have grown over the the fence. This trimmer is SO MUCH less expensive than a comparable gas trimmer and works so well that I HIGHLY recommend this! When I was shopping for gas trimmers, all of them under about $350 got poor reviews. I got this one at Lowes for a similar price to what they have on Amazon and I couldn't be happier with it!

UPDATE: July 2015:
Well, I've used this trimmer no more than a dozen times. I'm pretty sure I haven't even used it 10 times since buying. I used it to trim weeds and tall grasses. Today while trimming weeds, I heard this awful racket and the sound of the trimmer changed. It started rattling (the whole thing took about 3 seconds). So I stopped using it. Carried it back to the garage and I could hear it rattling. I opened it up on my bench and some shredded metal and ball bearings fell out. Thought you might want to know that it has questionable durability and longevity. See the photo.

Good quality blade. Makes pulling out weeds much easier.
