bleh. not that great of a deal. Buy.com has them for $41 with free shipping.
Nice, I actually need one of these before spring!! Who knew 3 well manicured acres could be so much work.
Maybe, but it’s still $6 (15%) less. And I’m supporting Woot. IFO.
Corded trimmers soon have no cord, more often than not. Especially if you give it to a teenager.
$29.99 NEW… that’s a deal!
Sears is selling this same unit (HT020) for $115
I’ve got one of these. Works really well, but the comment about, um, cutting the cord is quite accurate. DH & I both severed the cord at different times. Luckily, he’s good at repairing those electrical wires. lol
Dual action? OK, I can see a back and forth sawing motion as one, but what would be the second action?
Great reviews on Amazon.
These work great for trimming large rose/raspberry bushes as well.
Bought one of these recently from Woot - it’s been warmer than usual this winter so I was able to try it out same day I received it. Works great, plenty of power for trimming the shrubs.
I have the B&D cordless rechargeable version, and it’s great. It cuts everything I expect it to.
This model should be even better, stronger, but not cordless.
It’s too cold out to use this for another 3 months. I bet it will be cheaper in the next 3 woot-offs.
I believe that dual action means that is can cut on both sides of the blade so that you have increased reach. It allows you to sweep back and forth to make cuts, and not in a single direction.
Have this model, paid more, works great. Batteries are swappable to other B&D power tools.
That is all.
EDIT: I have the battery pack version. Everything else is the same. Does a great job el Juapo, trimming ze hedges…
Just got mine from woot yesterday. Haven’t had a chance to use it yet, but it feels sturdy, and the “blade” is a bit longer than I expected. Actually a little excited about using it for the first time. Does that make me old? :-\
A deal on a 100ft heavy-duty extension cord would go nicely with this, woot!
I have this model… Works well. Cuts the bushes and everything!
I haven’t cut a cord yet… but I have cut the cheese.
Can I use this to carve designs with the truffle butter I just snagged from wine woot?
No, see, the blades move back AND forth. Dual action. Back AND forth.
Back Forth
