I have a very steeply banked ditch in the front of my property. I couldn't get a mower or a weedeater to get in to cut the weeds down. I was thinking if someone would put a hedge trimmer on a shaft it would work perfectly. Along comes Black & Decker with their NPT318, the very tool I needed. It works great. For being battery powered it really mows down the weeds. The head angles to match the slope of the ditch. The only feature I would have included is a strap. It is heavier than a regular weed eater.

I bought this trimmer as I could not reach the top of my hedges with a normal trimmer. It works very well, although it is heavy to hold. I'm 74 years old and may be this would not bother a younger person. Having it battery powered helps a lot.

This is ONLY for those shrubs that are up high and you would normally need a latter for, not normal height shrubs. I agree with the other reviewer that they need to make it so you can take the pole off or that tge main handle can telescope. Trying to use this on a normal shrub at knee level is ridiculious. It is too heavy and bulky to swing around for normal hedges. I took this back and got the 22' 18V and I love it.
