The Black & Decker cordless grass shear gives you power in a compact design for all your detailed garden work, especially trimming around delicate flower beds, small areas around trees, or hard to reach places around fences and walls. This grass shear uses a 4.8-volt NiCad rechargeable battery to give you cordless convenience; the battery will run for approximately 30 minutes on one charge and comes with a 16-hour external battery charger which plugs easily into any household outlet. The 3-inch ground hardened blades are made to stay sharper longer and provide precision performance; the lock-off button prevents accidental start-ups. This grass shear is ergonomically balanced in a lightweight design (it weighs a little over 2 pounds) to improve comfort and control during use; it is backed by a 2-year warranty. This grass shear also accepts the Black & Decker upright extension handle (sold separately) for more comfortable standing use and greater reach.
