My review of the Worx GT 20 V cordless trimmer
Comments (23)I bought the Worx GT 2 years ago. Recently, after charging both batteries, I attempted to use it again but the motor just grinds which I think may be the weak batteries. I have liked working with this trimmer however, it has deficiencies. One is fine, longer grass gets tangled up in the head which you cannot access unless you disassemble the unit. You can see the grass but can't get to it. The battery time is limited - about 25 minutes. It takes overnight to charge it. I love the way you can adjust the head and especially perpendicular for a clean trim around the driveway or sidewalk. For a woman, it's light and easy to handle. And, of course, it's quiet. They've got a good product but with shortcomings. Like someone commented earlier: they need to put more money into research. I wish I had put the money towards a Stihl gas trimmer. I won't be buying another....See MoreCordless blowers

Comments (13)A little bit late, but hope this helps. I am the owner of a B&D 18V trimmer, also had the 18v cordless sweeper. Bought these about 3 years ago, when they were shipping with 2 batteries each (had 4 total). The single biggest problem is the battery - the NiCads develop memory problem over time and start to hold less and less charge and now I am looking for a gas powered trimmer - as the batteries are about $35 each. If someone knows of a way to keep the NiCads from this memory problem let me know. If someone knows of a way to recover older batteries with the memory problem, please pass that knowledge on. How did they work? The string trimmer did work very well for me (I used it strictly for trimming close to the fence), and also edging. However, the edges have to be well maintained (no huge overgrowths, other wise it will struggle). I did not use this for "weedwhacking", I usually pull weeds out by hand. The cordless broom is just that - a broom, it shouldn't be classified as a blower. I started out with the intention of being a totally green homeowner, I had the following equipment: a) A push reel mower - I used this for about a year and gave up. Mowing wet grass, somewhat tall grass (I had to mow at least twice a week during summer), it was pure murder. Now, I have a Toro recycler. b) A cordless broom (B&D 18v) - Had to pony up to a corded Toro electric blower, the broom just didn't cut it by itself. c) A cordless string trimmer (B&D 18v) - I am in the process of looking for a replacement. Though I could use the batteries from the blower as well, all the batteries have aged and are not holding charge well. d) Craftsman electric edger - Though the B&D cordless is supposed to edge (and it does), it is good enough for light edging only. A burglary - To top it off, I had my garage, broken into, late last year and thieves made off with the cordless blower (with one battery still in it), the Toro electric blower, the Toro mower, and a Karcher 3KPSI pressure washer. I replaced the Toros (with the same models) and still in the lookout for a new pressure washer. It was in the course of my research into a new string trimmer that I ran into this post and thought I would contribute. For the average home owner the cordless trimmer is a good concept, but the batteries are consumables, and you should factor that into the ownership cost....See MoreCan gravel be kept clean with a leaf blower?
Comments (29)A friend of mine has a beautiful zen garden.. she rakes the leaves daily, in the autumn, as a meditative practice... but when the weather gets worse, wet and cold, she spreads fruit netting over the gravel, and leaves it in place until she gets clear weather, then bundles up the leaves and transfers them into black plastic bags and takes them to the recycling centre to add to their garden waste bins. Her kids help. She says it's a great lesson in impermanence...! Admittedly, her patch is not huge, but it's better than leaving the leaves to go black, soggy rain-sodden and rotting, on the gravel.... Amazon is your friend.... You can also examine use of bird/pond netting (to protect aquatic livestock from predatory birds, like herons and penguins....) which is quite strong. Also on Amazon....See Moremustangs81
