BLACK+DECKER 40V MAX* 24 in. cordless hedge trimmer with POWERDRIVE, Tool Only (LHT2436B)

Hedge clippers that are fashionable. After four years of use, I'm writing my second review. (I gave it a perfect score of five stars. ) It's been turned off for a while now. However, I was unable to contact B. Their answering machine informed me that they don't usually return phone calls and that I should instead use their website, which was equally unhelpful. I got in touch with E- I was able to speak with some parts, but they said they couldn't handle B. D parts, and that I'd have to deal with them on my own, which I couldn't do. As a result, I'm stuck. I've got a lot of 40V B batteries. They generously provide D batteries with their products, but there is no way to repair the instrument without their help. I suppose ordering another would be in my best interests, but I can't support B's arrogance and incompetence on principle.

On July 23, 2017, I made a purchase. The 12th of July, 2018, was the last day for it. I took it to my local Blacksmith while it was still under warranty. Authorized service center for Decker products. They informed me that they do not service battery-powered tools and provided me with the address of a service center 10 miles away. I wasn't going to drive there, and I wasn't going to pay to have it shipped there, so it went in the trash. I'm not going to buy any more B. Products with the letter D.

It's been a year since I received this. I used it twice to trim a 30'x2' privet hedge in the summer and fall. This spring/summer, I used it on the same hedge twice. It worked perfectly each time. Cuts well, is light, and is simple to use. This time, on the fifth use, it began to struggle, and soon after, smoke began to pour out, and it burned out. After five uses, you're out? It's not a cheap tool, though, at $115. The quality is poor.

There is a risk of overheating and a fire hazard!! This was purchased in the summer of 2016 for a new home. Everything was fine until the unit began to overheat and smoke. This is not that great but a waste of money for $115 that only lasts less than 2 1/2 years with 4 times usage per year! I'll call it Black Decker CS, and I'll say Black Decker has one of the worst CS I've ever seen! Information has been updated: br>br> I got in touch with Black Decker once more. This time, I was instructed to contact Amazon, the retailer from whom I had made my purchase. So I contacted Amazon, and they advised me to contact the manufacturer. I was more perplexed than I'd ever been by the end.

I have three properties that need to be trimmed, so this is impressive. It takes about 8 hours to work on a single home, including trimming. Over 200 shrubs (holly, boxwoods, and azaleas) were bagged. yew). Because of my weak shoulder, I didn't want to use a gas-powered trimmer. I did a lot of research and came to the conclusion that the Black would be the best option. Decker. Mostly on the basis of customer feedback and sales figures. I also ordered an extra battery because I knew I'd need it and didn't want to wait for it. Both batteries were fully charged the night before my first use. The first battery lasted just over 60 minutes of continuous use - The blades were razor-sharp, and they cut through holly bushes that were more than 1/2 inch thick - sped through them with ease When the first battery died, I put it on the charger and continued working with the second battery. The second battery lasted just over 60 minutes when used continuously as well. The clippings were then bagged (I ended up with about 15 leaf bags full of clippings). To fully charge the batteries, it took about 2 hours. But by the time I finished the initial bagging, I was ready to go. I needed three fully charged batteries to complete the job of trimming over 200 shrubs, and the trimmer ran at full power until the last 5 minutes or so, when you could tell it was slowing down a little - Likewise, it's quite impressive. For me, this trimmer was the real deal. So much so that my nephew, who also does some trimming for two houses, needed a new one, which I purchased for him. I don't write many reviews, but I was so impressed with this product that I felt compelled to do so. Decker is lightweight, maneuverable, and outperformed my expectations in terms of shrub removal - I found it to be very useful - Additionally, I was able to save my shoulder. I also wore some Kevlar gloves in case a finger got too close to the sharp blades (which it never did, but safety comes first and foremost)! The Real Thing!.

After three repetitions, the shearing blades began to clatter more loudly. Then, after another use, I became aware of the odor of the motor overheating. I stopped using it because of the heating. Now. Not happy with this because the motor still smells like it's been burned and the clattering sounds like it's gotten worse. I've got almost ten B portables. D items, and this is the first time I've noticed a problem with the quality.

The only reason I gave it a four-star rating is because The reason I gave it four stars instead of five is that when I disassembled my old broken one, I discovered a very fragile-looking, small diameter drive shaft coming out of the motor that had snapped - If you disassemble a typical retractable ball point pen, you'll find a plastic ink cylinder of about the same diameter. I can't help but believe that a few blade jams at full run speed was all it took for that drive shaft to fail. br>br>However, the lithium-ion battery accounts for a significant portion of the total cost of this tool. Because the tool can be purchased without the lithium-ion battery and charger, it's a good deal to be able to buy it as a replacement. When you consider that a tool used that much will begin to dull, the motor brushes will be worn, and it will need a good internal cleaning, it was a pretty good value to me to be able to buy just the new, sharp, clean tool and use the perfectly good battery and charger from my initial purchase, it was a pretty good value to me to be able to buy just the new, sharp, clean tool again.

While it lasts, the Black and Decker Hedger is a fantastic tool. The issue is that this is the third one I've ordered in the last two years, and they all appear to be prone to breaking. Just before they died, the two who died emitted a burning odor, and that was the end of it. The device is powerful and simple to operate when it works. br>The saving grace is that you can get it without the battery for a decent price on Amazon, especially if you can find a used one in the Warehouse deals, which I did for just $45. I estimate that having it sharpened once a year would cost at least $20, so it's not a bad deal. br>However, you should expect it to last about a year before it breaks.
