Description of Black & Decker NST2036 Heavy-Duty 36-Volt Cordless Electric String Trimmer
The first trimmer in its class to receive the Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star certification for its charging system, this efficient model from Black & Decker trims mowed areas on most 1/2-acre homesites, and is great for heavy-duty weed clearing and cutting. Powered by a longlasting 36-volt NiCad battery for robust performance that rivals gas, but without the mess and hassle, the NST2036 boasts a 14-inch cut path and speeds up to 7,500 RPM. In fact, it cuts more area per charge than any other cordless trimmer currently on the market, and yields impressive results even around tough areas like against fences, near gutter drains, or the perimeter of trees with large root bases. It's also very easy to operate, thanks to a host of helpful features like dual .080-inch lines for long life, a patented gear drive for the right amount of torque to handle thick, bushy grass and brush, and a variable speed trigger for optimum control. For additional comfort and stability, you can adjust the auxiliary handle to your height, and the telescoping shaft can also be extended to access whatever you're cutting. Finally, a bump feed system feeds the line on demand, and a shoulder strap helps ensure even distribution of weight. The NST2036 comes with a three-year warranty.The first trimmer in its class to receive the Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star certification for its charging system, this efficient and model from Black & Decker trims mowed areas on most 1/2-acre homesites, and is great for heavy-duty weed clearing and cutting.

Tools and Hardware Reviews of Black & Decker NST2036 Heavy-Duty 36-Volt Cordless Electric String Trimmer
Customer Review: Very Pleasantly Surprized
Summary: 5 Stars
I got the 36 volt trimmer on Tuesday and this is Thursday and my first impressions after using it. It does have a lot of plastic but appears to be well made. It is heavy but balances well with shoulder strap. It took 14 hours to charge the battery from dead to full charge. Wednesday morning before work I decided to try it out and WOW I was surprised. It really as powerful as some gas powered trimmers (my Ryobi will now sit). The unit is not as loud as a gas trimmer but it is not silent either. I trimmed tonight late and would not hase done so with my gas trimme because of the noise.
What about the battery life. I ordered a second battery that has not arrived yet but I started cutting with one battery. On my inital charge I have trimmed 350 ft of sidewalk, drive way and street curb. I have trimmed 250 ft around the house, and 80 square ft of flower bed. I have also trimmed some 260 ft or fence and around the base of 2 tree all on the initial charge. That is approximately 850 lf of trim, and 80 sqare foot of clearing and the battrey is still strong. BTW the grass is quite thick so I am really pleased with the battery life.
If the product holds up I would recommend it highly
UPDATE!!! MAY 6, 2010
Now that I have used the product for a month I can say I am truley pleased. It is as powerful as most gas trimmers. Some notes of caution when using. The trim guard is good for protecting sticks from the string but is open and can sling things towards your face.( as all trimmers). Do not make the mistake of thinking that since this is battery powered that it is not powerful. I wear FULL googles as I have had a twig or two sting me in the face. This past week I charged the batteries on Friday to do my yard work on Saturday. Did not do the front till Monday. I took the battery out an let it set. Today I just about finished the back yard which is 8 days after I charged the battery. I had the second battery so I finished with no problem. If I had done everything last Saturday it likely would have lasted all the way like it has before.
It is a bit heavy but I am large so it is not a huge problem. If you are a 125 lb woman it would be harder but it can be balanced with the sling.
Some people have complained about the string feeder and the difficultly of stringing it. Once you get the knack it really is quite easy. If I get a chance I will put up a video review of this.
This really is a great product and I recommend it. BTW I use it as a side walk and driveway trimmer even though it has does not rotate.
July 2, 2010 Update.
One thing I have found that really helps the string life is to control the speed. I had a tendency to run at full bore especially when trimming the side walks and driveway. By cutting back on the variable speed just a bit the string lasts a much longer time. Another thing I have learned is that the battery seems to keep power right to the end. It lets you know it is down by shutting down. You start again and it winds up and then stops so you know its is time to recharge and or change batteries. Some people have had issues with the batteries but I have had none to date. One final note on the batttery. I recently fertilized my yard and I let it grow because of the rains and I wanted to let the grass get thick. I trimmed around the fence and house as well as the trees and one an 80 ft stretch of fence around 5 ft wide. One battery freshly charged did all that except for the last 10 ft or so around the house. The last 10 ft or so I did with the second battery.The grass was thick enough to choke the lawn mower more than a few times. Grass height was probably around 4.5" - 5" so the trimmer cut some very thick grass. I am very happy with this product and still highly recommend it.
