Would be nice to have a more quiet option.
We are Black & Decker fans – been fans for years because the quality of their products have never let us down. We sure could do with the giveaway offered here – our garden is rather overgrown and using “green” friendly tools will have me feeling like a green-queen.
I would like to ditch my gas lawn tools, they are bulky and smell bad.
Since I live on 2.5 acres, the cordless option really suits my lifestyle!
My husband is not an outdoor type of person so I do most of the yardwork and I really do enjoy it. A problem I run in to alot is that with our gas weed-eater (along with our lawn mower) i have trouble getting it started up by myself. Sometimes it is too hard for me to yank the cord to start it so I have to wait for my husband to do it for me. Having an electric one that is easy to start make yard work sooo much more convenient.
This sure would help me to get greener!!!
I would definitely love to have this to be able to spend more time outside working on my yard. It is so relaxing and I love being green :) Thanks for a great giveaway!
These tools would help me be “green” while keeping a nice yard!
Thanks for the contest!
Not only do I have to take care of my yard, I also help out my Mom with her yard. These tools are great because they are easy to pack up and take with me!
We have been using an electric string trimmer and electric hedge trimmers for years. The biggest problem is that the cords get in the way and limit the distance you can trim before having to plug into a different outlet. The second problem is trying to figure a way to keep from tripping on the cords. We would be in seventh heaven with rechargeable lawn aids. Kudos to Black & Decker! Thank you for the opportunity to participate in this giveaway!

Oooo…very nice! I love that they don’t use gas and are quieter, too. I could definitely use them around the yard.
These tools would help me because I have trouble starting our gas powered equipment and these would be more environmentally friendly.
Great prizes! These tools would definitely suit our lifestyle as we spend a lot of time in the yard and need more gardening and yard tools. We have a lot of weeding, trimming, hedge clipping, etc., to do! We have been trying to be more environmentally-aware, and I love that these tools don’t give off emissions or cause pollution.
Thanks for having the giveaway!
These would definately help me. I could trim up my bushes and keep my lawn looking nice. It would also help me keep a distinguished line between my hedges and my garden!!
We had a really bad storm last summer that damaged a lot of trees and some of the branches are still in bad shape. A good trimmer would be so nice to get those branches trimmed back and get my trees looking good again.

These would definitely come in handy, we have a large backyard and we have been using the same garden tools for 15 years and their on their last leg.
Quieter and greener, what could be better? The tools we already have are quite heavy, too.
These would be great! Thanks for the giveaway!
These yard tools would be great to use and not have to worry about gas!
Wow. This sounds fantastic!
My husband has put me in charge of doing the yardwork for now. I like our yard looking good and these tools would help make my job a little easier. They are easy to handle and that works for me.
need this for new house and yard that needs a lot of work
These tools would definitely make yard work a lot easier for me! Thanks for the great giveaway!
We have a lot of trimming to do on our property. I would love to have something lite like these to use.
These would save me a lot of time. I’m doing these jobs mostly by hand and some shears. Please enter me :)

My husband and I can’t manage yardwork like we used to. These would be a great help!

Either of these would be awesome, because i live in the city, and I have a tiny yard with a little veggie garden, a tiny composting pile, and a massive hedge that tries to consume the entire yard…I just have trouble bringing myself to buy a new hedge trimmer for such a small yard… but that hedge!! I *heart* Black & Decker tools, and love this new Zero Emissions initiative! Thanks for the opportunity!!

my hedges need trimmed so bad and my yard hasn’t been mowed this year yet:) this would be a blessing 2 win:)ty 4 the awesome giveaway and 4 the entry:)
I actually owned both of these many years ago and I wore them out! They would be great to have again.
These would suit my lifestyle as we need a new trimmer for many years now but never have enough money to put toward one so these would come in so handy, thanks.wombatspurple at yahoo dot com
This would be perfect since everyone is going green these days. I am going to get an electric lawnmower soon and these would compliment that pretty nice.
much better than a gas polluting one. Thanks! I need this.
These yard tools would suit my lifestyle because I try to be earth friendly and I like that these use stored energy instead of gas. This would help cut down on my yardwork time too, which means I’d have more time to enjoy my lifestyle :)
I could surely use a trimmer for our hedges – approximately 250 feet of them well over 8 feet high – surrounding our property. I’m close to 60 and 5’2″ and dragging a corded trimmer up and down ladders is quite a job. It would be heavenly to be able to just climb and not worry about a cord following me. Then there’s the environmental bonuses!
My husband loves yard tools and he’d be especially pleased to have a lightweight trimmer (either one) that doesn’t need gasoline.
These would suit my lifestyle because I try to use yard tools that run on electricity to save energy
I need to clean my yard up some
We would sure love to win these garden tools.
This would help my hubby get extra money to do yard work,since he has been laid off.
These would be great because I’d be able to handle them myself and not have to wait on my husband to pull out the oversized, gas guzzling tools.
I can’t use the gas ones because of asthma (from smoke). But this looks like a great alternative.
