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.

1 out of 5 stars Weedeater not quite full power   June 29, 2008
Black & Decker Heavy-Duty 36-Volt Cordless Electric String Trimmer #NST2036

The battery does not hold charge long enough to weedeat around the house.
15 minutes just not enough charge to make this worthwhile.
Anyone over 5'9" would have trouble with the shaft being too short
for comfortable use. Black and Decker have nice concept but
didn't follow through on the product.



5 out of 5 stars WOWZA!   June 27, 2008
Bought this for hubby since our yard is >1 acre. Trims up all that the mower can't possibly get. LOVE the feature (our reason for purchasing this) of ELECTRIC start. As we "age", pulling a cord to start lawn equipment is next to impossible. Make sure you purchase EXTRA spools with your order AND if you can, spring for the EXTRA battery. We did not do the latter and wish we had. Hope to buy the spare one in the near future!

When gas hit $4 a gallon I decided to go electric or battery on everything I could. The B&D 36-volt trimmer more than met my expectations.
I love the variable speed trigger. There are many times when you really don't want to use full power. The balance and weight of the trimmer was ideal. As far as battery life, I was just able to complete my trimming (about 3/4 acre) in 30 minutes before the battery power ran out. After about 30 minutes of trimming I'm tired anyway. The unit is very powerful and cut through all the weeds I had to deal with. For those that need more than 30-40 minutes of trimming in one day I would recommend an additional battery. The string fed great and I found that I really didn't have to advance it that much. With my old gas trimmer I always had string issues and anything over 30 minutes I would run out of fuel anyway. It's such a joy not having to breathe in the fumes of a gas trimmer and hearing the noise it created. Overall I'm very satisfied with my purchase and would do so again. As far as cleaning, I'm not sure if you can hose the unit off with water or just take a wet rag and wipe it. I had a few people stop me and ask me about it since it does have a cool sound and look. If you're on the fence get this one. I'm very picky but found very little fault with this trimmer.



4 out of 5 stars ALMOST a great cordless trimmer/edger!   June 18, 2008
B&D have a great idea here - a cordless trimmer/edger with the power to get the job done without a cord or gas/oil engine mixture...

HOWEVER...I have two issues to discuss...first of all, I know this lawn tool is advertised as a trimmer/edger, BUT...it's a great trimmer, but NOT a good edger! It's not stable enough...what they need is an attachment to stablize it for edging...that said, I bought an Echo gas/oil edger from Home Depot that does great as long as you read the directions...

As far as the trimming goes...I love the power that comes with the 36-volt NiCad battery - it's HUGE compared to other batteries, but it's what you need for the power...I predict that future lawn tools will go to 36-volt within the year...

The push-to-advance line feed works as advertised, BUT...you'll still need to (sometimes) open up the line-feed mechanism and re-set it manually...

Maybe someday one of this manufacturers will figure out the line-feed problem, and all of us lawn enthusiasts will be happy!



2 out of 5 stars Not What I Expected.   June 17, 2008
I purchased this item about 2 months ago and have used it 7 times. Although it will trim blades of st. augustine, it has a very difficut time cutting the runners because the trim line is very thin compared to a gas trimmer.

It is also very heavy and takes some time adjusting to the new weight when using as an edger. I am not sure I whould have purchased this trimmer if I had been able to use one before my purchase.

I will use this one for a few more months and then sell it and go back to an Echo gas trimmer.
