Runtime Extension Technology
BLACK+DECKER's Extended Runtime Technology features electronics that allow this trimmer/edger to maintain constant speed in a variety of grass conditions so the it runs at an efficient speed for extended battery life. In high-power mode, the LST420 ramps up the power output to quickly take down heavy grass and weeds. In runtime mode, the trimmer/edger provides up to one hour of runtime for normal trimming.
The LST420 comes with two 2.0 amp-hour lithium-ion batteries (model LBXR2020), which offers 33 percent more runtime per battery pack than the previous LBXR20 pack.
Trim in Comfort
Easy to start and quiet to operate, the LST420 cordless trimmer/edger weighs 5.7 pounds. Plus, it's fully adjustable so you can work at the ideal height, with pivoting handle positions to trim at odd angles in comfort and a telescoping pole that easily adjusts to a your preferred length.
This cordless trimmer/edger also features BLACK+DECKER's PowerDrive Transmission, which delivers consistent power in most grass types, helping to maintain cutting performance while trimming and edging in heavy grass or weeds. That ultra-efficient performance plus a generous 12-inch cutting swath help every job go faster.
Smooth Operation
With the LST420, you never have to bump to release the string or waste time continually adjusting the string spool. The BLACK+DECKER Automatic Feed Spool keeps the string at the optimal length automatically and continuously. The LST420 also converts from trimmer to an edger in seconds. A wheeled edge guide has been added for balance, helping to eliminate the need to hover the trimmer/edger over the line of grass between the lawn and sidewalk while edging. Simply roll along the sidewalk or driveway, and the wheel supports the weight of the trimmer/edger for a fine edge and straight, clean edges.
Cordless Freedom
BLACK+DECKER's 20-volt MAX lithium-ion batteries offer a longer lifespan and retains its charge 5x longer than similar 18-volt NiCad batteries. They're compatible with the full line of BLACK+DECKER's 20-volt MAX line of power and gardening tools, and you won't be limited by an extension cord.
Easy to use and maneuver, the battery-powered timmer and edger eliminates the need for gas or oil to be stored.

Our property is comprised of 3 lots so there is quite a bit of landscaping to be tended to. I am a woman without a lot of arm strength so I prefer an electric string trimmer because they aren't as heavy but managing all the extension cords for a corded model is a PITA. This trimmer is just perfect for me because even with the battery installed, it's lightweight and well balanced and easy for me to use.
This trimmer comes with two, 2.0Ah, rechargeable, lithium batteries, a battery charger and the trimmer. The trimmer is almost completely assembled. You only have to attach the handle and the guard. You'll need a Philips head screw driver to secure the guard but it's quick and easy - less than 10 minutes. You'll also need to charge the batteries before initial use.
The length is adjustable so no matter what your height, you can adjust it to the perfect length. What I really love is that the head flips over for use as an edger. The orange wheel rolls along the edge of the sidewalk so you are able to edge perfectly (and we all know that edging is the key to a manicured lawn.)
The line is advanced automatically so no more bumping the trimmer to feed more line.
This trimmer is really powerful! I had no issues with any of the vegetation in my yard. It's not as powerful as my husband's gas trimmer but since I can comfortably use it to finish all of my yard without my arms giving out, I'm fine with it being a little less powerful than my husband's trimmer.
If you have other Black+Decker tools that use these batteries, it's a big plus. I do so I have several batteries and chargers. However, I also ordered these, larger capacity batteries so I can trim and edge everything all at once without having to wait to recharge my batteries. They aren't Black+Decker brand but they work perfectly. 20V 5.0Ah Replace Battery for Black and Decker MAX Lithium LBXR20 LBXR20-OPE LB20 LBX20 LBX4020 LB2X4020-OPE 2Packs SUN POWER
One other big plus for me is this optional, mower attachment. BLACK+DECKER MTD100 3-in-1 Removable Mower Deck I ordered it immediately and I'm so glad I did. I have a very steep slope on one side of my property. It's too steep to safely use a regular mower so we have always had to use a string trimmer to "mow" the slope. It's hard to "mow" evenly with a trimmer but this attachment lets you do just that. It's brilliant!
This trimmer comes with one spool of filament installed so you will need to order more unless you hand wind your own. BLACK+DECKER AF-100-3ZP 30ft 0.065" Line String niJsK Trimmer Replacement Spool, 3 Count (2 Pack) The B+D brand is good quality and I'm happy with it.
If you want a cordless trimmer that's lightweight and gets the job done, this is a good one to consider.
