Amazon.com Product Description

See how the NST2036 measures up against other trimmers when it comes to cut rates and power output.
Black & Decker's Trimmers: Power, Precision, and Performance
Black & Decker offers a full line of electric and cordless grass trimmers with cutting paths ranging from 9 to 14 inches. Packed with power to tackle tough weeds and grass, these trimmers are low noise and do not emit fumes.

Super-Charge Your Yard with the NST2036 Cordless String Trimmer
Now the company that invented cordless yard solutions brings you the first battery-powered string trimmer that delivers the performance of gas. Just imagine the freedom that cordless convenience can bring -- without the hassles of pull cords, spilled gas, tune-ups, or harmful emissions. With 36 volts of power and a newly designed, super-efficient motor that boasts a patented gear drive transmission, you'll get all the torque you need for tough cutting with less noise and vibration than a traditional gas trimmer.

Gas vs. Electric: Black & Decker Changes the Rules
Many consumers own a gas-powered string trimmer because they don't think that electric string trimmers have the power to address their needs. But Black & Decker's 36-volt trimmer is a true breakthrough, offering the performance of a gas-powered string trimmer with the tidiness of a battery power source. This trimmer's removable high-output 36-volt NiCad battery features pro-grade cells with a total capacity of over 75 watt hours. That means it offers more than three times the energy of an 18-volt battery (as compared to HPB18-OPE 18-volt pack).


Gear drive transmission delivers power and no-stall torque for performance comparable to a gas trimmer.

Removable 36-volt battery delivers over 75 watt hours of power and is rechargeable.

Starts every time with the squeeze of a variable-speed trigger for gas-like control; lock-off button adds safety.

Rugged bump-feed head features heavy-duty .080-inch line and a 14-inch cutting path.
With a cut rate of 51 square feet per minute, this trimmer actually cuts faster than most consumer-grade gas units in recent testing. It quickly mows down your tallest weeds, giving you the power to trim along fences, houses, and landscape beds -- and because it's cordless, you don't have any extension cords or wires to trip you up or tie you down.

Feature-Packed and Ready to Work
The NST2036 has a 14-inch cutting swath, which is the largest ever for a cordless string trimmer -- but that's not its only claim to fame. It delivers real industry-leading performance, no-stall torque, and true efficiency for run time that will amaze and delight you, all from a battery that delivers hundreds of recharge cycles ... so it will last for years. This model easily covers even big yards with loads of trees and fences.

And in addition to all this power, the NST2036 is extremely easy to control. It has no frustrating cords to pull, but it starts every time with just a squeeze of the trigger; and this variable speed trigger allows for gas-like control, so you'll always receive just the right power for any application. A lock-off button prevents accidental starts, and the rugged bump-feed head stocks a heavy-duty dual .080-inch line. The telescoping shaft offers quick and simple height adjustment, and the auxiliary handle adjusts to various heights for comfort in all trimming positions -- for users of every size.

Best of all, the NST2036 is the first trimmer in its class to receive the Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star certification for its charging system. With the NST2036 you'll save money on energy bills, and at the same time you can help prevent greenhouse gas emissions for a cleaner planet.

Key Technical Specs:

  • Line diameter: .080-inch
  • String feed system: bump
  • Cutting path: 14 inches
  • Power: 36 volts
  • Speed: 7500 RPM

Applications
Use the NST2036 to trim tricky spots in any yard -- around trees, up against fences, around corners or gutter drains, or porch edges. Its long battery life means you can even clean up larger stretches of property. Take it out to trim a soccer field or baseball diamond; or use it to tame an uneven lot that's riddled with weeds, briars, low and thorny bushes, or tangled vines.

Warranty
This exceptional piece of yard equipment from Black & Decker is covered by a full 3-year manufacturer's warranty; and you can take it home for a 30-day risk-free trial. See Black & Decker for details.

5 out of 5 stars Powerfull!   May 2, 2008
This baby's got some power! I got it the other day and I must say that I'm impressed. I had always used electric in the past and I have barrowed a gas one a time or two. But I moved into a new townhouse this winter and it doesn't have a garage, so I did not want to deal with the mess and hassle and smell of having gas in the basement and all that.

It is easy to use, I charged up the battery the night I got it and Saturday morning I popped in the battery and squeezed the trigger and off I went. I'm tall, so I was happy to see the shaft extends out so I don't have to bend over all the time. Nice! I had to get used to the veriable speed trigger. My old did not have that.

I must admit I was lazy this spring and let a few weeks go by before I got around to the lawn, so the grass was pretty tall. In the corner the grass was still wet from the rain the night before, but this thing tore right through it. With the wet grass and the power of this thing it was like turning the grass into a green smoothie. (note, wear long pants!)

The other thing that I had to get used to was bumping for additional line. One firm bump and the line returns to full cutting. I was just used the automatic feed on my old one (again, my lazy ways). But I like this now because I don't have to wait for the string trimmer to feed the line.

It was actually kind of fun to use, it cuts so much and so fast. Now I need my neighbor to give it back to me before this Saturday rolls around.

I'm glad I pulled the trigger to get this. I'm not the biggest eco-ranger in the world, but I guess this makes me a little greener and kind of off-sets my pick-up truck. Well, that is my my story anyway, atleast until I go hard core and install field turf!
