My husband and I have become more green and these would fit in as our yard needs serious work.
I could trim up some growings.
I would give either one of these to my sister as a gift. Poor girl has no lawn skillz…so maybe she could get some practice with greener tools.
Wow! I did not know they made these cordless!
This would be so wonderful to clean my yard!
No more extentsion cords yay!
My husband loves working in the yard. It is a great stress reliever from his job in the automobile business. We have shut off rooms of heat and electricity to save on bills and this would help not to have to use energy in the yard also
These yard tools would suit my lifestyle by making it easy to maintain my yard.
My husband could really use this to take care of our yard. The one we have has seen better days. Thanks!
I’ve used battery powered yard tools for years. And just lost a wonderful Black & Decker trimmer after several years of amazing use. I’d love to win a new one. And my hedger died a few weeks ago so to win either one would be a dream come true!
Oh, these would totally be a life saver with the nasty bushes and weeds in my backyard :(
I tweeted about it:

Its all about going green, and keeping my lawn looking great plus there will be no cord for me to run over or accidently zap.. LOL
They would really help me get my yard in shape.
My husband and I would LOVE this giveaway opportunity! We have many bushes that I am currently using handheld manual shears to trim our bushes. We used to have this amazing Hedgehog Hedge Trimmer but I loaned it to my grandmother who accidentally cut through the cord. We haven’t been able to replace it yet and I certainly do miss the convenience and professional results that we had when we used it. I loved how quick and easy it was to use!
We would also LOVE to win the GrassHog Feed/Trimmer/Edger because we don’t currently have one. Our house is on a hill overlooking a small natural space and although I adore not having a neighbor directly behind us (we’re in California where lot sizes are small), I don’t like the weeds that we constantly fight. This weed whacker would help us keep our hillside trimmed and looking neat and tidy!
I don’t think you can beat Black & Decker for their tools and I always look to buy their quality products. Their adjustable wrench is revolutionary (we always use ours!) and I love the convenience of our Black & Decker cordless drill. This is a great giveaway and we would definitely appreciate our good fortune if we were the lucky winners! Thank you!
I could really use these for trimming my hedge and trimming weeds and overgrown grass on the edges of my yard.
Neat yard with minimal enviro-mental impact. Excellent for me and the planet!
MY YARD NEEDS WORK
wonderful drawing would so love to win thanks
I really could use this.
We have a very small patio area with just a bit of lawn, the trimmer would be perfect to trim the grass. I love that it is battery operated, our old trimmer had a cord and was a pain.
I have a really hard time starting my current trimmer
Great product that I could put to good use.
Hmmmm….I skimmed the comments. No one mentioned chemical sensitivity due to pesticide exposure. I have used Black and Decker products and they don’t pollute. It helps me do my own work and keeps the gas/oil off my property. I love the power the put into the tools. Cordless rules! (Yeah, I know I am too late for the contest.)
It is my opinion the ideal tool I have in my tool bag is the battery powered cordless drill, Recently I ripped out my bathroom and did a complete reconstruction and the tool I used probably the most and was truly useful was my cordless drill. I do think for every project in the home I had the battery cordless drill in my hand. It is my opinion the reconstruction project could have taken twice the time without my ideal hand tool.
