Description of Black & Decker HT512 22-Inch 3.8 amp Dual Action Electric Hedge Trimmer

Efficient and powerful, yet lightweight enough to operate with just one hand--even while reaching over your head--this electric hedge trimmer from Black & Decker helps keep your yard looking its manicured best. Designed to trim hedges, bushes, and shrubs in minutes, the HT512 owes its robust performance to a 3.8 Amp motor and 22-inch, pre-hardened, rust-resistant, longlasting steel blade that cuts through wood while creating 40 percent less vibration than other models. There's also a lock-on switch for uninterrupted performance, lock-off switch to protect against unintended start-ups, and a three-sided handle with soft grips for a secure, comfortable hold. Additionally, a convenient cord retention system guards against accidental unplugging while you're working.

Tools and Hardware Reviews of Black & Decker HT512 22-Inch 3.8 amp Dual Action Electric Hedge Trimmer

Customer Review: Dual-Action blades make a HUGE difference
Summary: 5 Stars

I upgraded to this model from an extremely old and cheap B&D hedge trimmer that was falling apart. My, what a difference! This trimmer has much more power, but even less vibration and noise! The dual-action blades are definitely worth the money. The trimmer cuts through branches instead of chewing through them like my old trimmer. What used to take multiple passes now only takes one. With my old trimmer, I never had to worry about messing up the shape of my bush because it would always get stuck if I cut in too deep, but with this trimmer, it goes right through without slowing! The lopsided olive tree in my yard stands as proof. B&D claims that it can cut branches up to 5/8" in diameter, but I wouldn't use it to trim too many of those branches because it seems to struggle as you near 1/2". Since it's more powerful, however, the teeth are also spaced farther apart, making it easier to accidentally lop off a finger. Be very careful. It is also heavier than my old trimmer, but the ease of use more than makes up for it.

I also looked at the B&D hedge hog trimmer, which is longer (24") but heavier, less powerful, and more expensive. Supposedly the design is supposed to make it easier to control, but I decided to get this one because of the price. If you will be using your hedge trimmer a lot it might be worthwhile to go to a local Home Depot to see if you like the feel of the hedge hog better. Home Depot carries the hedge hog and a similar model to this one, so you can compare them side-by-side. I'll still be using my cordless trimmer the most for small jobs because of its convenience, but I'll be counting on this one to tackle thicker bushes that the cordless trimmer can't handle.
