Why Settle for JUST Electric Lawn Edgers

grass hog consumer awardTaking care of your lawn without using a lawn edger is a bit like cutting your hair with a Flowbee. Sure, it’ll get the job done, but for a neat, clean and professionally cut look, it’s woefully inadequate. Likewise, a short, clean trimmed lawn just looks lacking if you don’t run a lawn edger along the grass where it meets driveways and walkways.

Now you could go out and buy an electric lawn edger specifically for that single purpose but, if you know our preferences, you know we love efficient convenience. Why buy a tool with only one purpose when you can buy a tool that does two things for the price of one? That’s where the Black & Decker comes to the rescue. Introducing -

Black & Decker NST2018 18-Volt Cordless Electric 12-Inch Grass Hog String Trimmer


Now before you get annoyed that we’re writing about a cordless trimmer instead of lawn edgers, stick with us. You’ll understand soon enough why this product warrants your attention. If you consider your average day of yard work, you might expect to mow the lawn, use a string trimmer around your fences and structures and then attack those edges. Now we can’t help you with the mowing and trimming part, but why do with three tools what you can with two?

The Black & Decker Grass Hog string trimmer can save you the hassle and expense of adding yet another tool to hang in your garage. Not only does it do a great job at grass trimming, slicing a generous 12 inch swath of unruly lawn away beneath its automatic-string-dispensing spool (no bumping!), but that same swiveling head quickly converts this cordless trimmer into a perfect electric edger in just seconds.

You don’t need to bump it on the ground as with some models. It maintains an optimal string length leaving you free to worry about the perfect trim.

As much as we love all the features we’ve mentioned so far, it’s the telescoping shaft on this trimmer that we love the most. Our tester, a taller than average fella’ swears that he’d buy the Grass Hog for this one feature alone. No back pain! And he’s right. The option to size the Grass Hog to fit you makes lawn work that much easier.

Whether you’re in the market for a cordless trimmer or electric lawn edgers, Black & Decker has you covered with one easy purchase…, the NST2018 Cordless Electric Grass Hog String Trimmer & Edger in one. But if you really have your heart set on buying a lot of cordless lawn care tools, read our upcoming post and pick up the whole Black and Decker lawncare center set.
