Huge design improvement on my previous (broken!) trimmer. Easy to use - I've tried both the normal and heavy duty spools. It cut a large area of rough grass/weeds on a steep banking in a relatively short time. Price for a heavy duty trimmer was excellent.

Although described as heavy duty this trimmer is very well balanced and therefore compares favorably with less powerful and lighter models for ease of use. I have marked down the features a little. I am of modest height and would have liked the telescopic arm extension to be a little longer. The wheel for edging is a great idea and would be perfection if a guide were added to keep the wheel at a set distance from the border edge. The single line works extremely well and keeps to correct length automatically. It conveniently avoids the problems associated with trimmers using the two line system. The unspooled heavy duty accessory for dealing with tough vegetation seems stronger than line alternatives used on a previous petrol trimmer. Superb value for a quality built machine.

This strimmer is probably the best I have owned, and far better than some famous brands. Easy to assemble, easy to use, and easy to change spool heads - which was a nightmare with previous makes. Other reviews detail specific merits of the strimmer, and I agree with them all.

I have found that the grass strimmer is all that it says it is, reliable, robust and workmanlike.

It arrived very promtly which was great as my old b&d strimmer had finally died on me after 7yrs of service. i could feel the power straight away and was very impressed at how much it cut away before losing cutting line. i like the adjustable handle as i have back problems and its so easy to change position at the touch of a button. the orange edging tool i found a bit distracting not having one on my previous strimmer but its just a case of getting used to it. i really liked the 2.4mm heavy duty lines which came with it and they were very easy to change over from the ordinary spool and line. it feels very sturdy and well made and i hope i get as much usage out of this one as i did out of the last one. definately better to pay a bit extra than the others that were on sale but having said that it is excellent value for money and i would recommend it to friends and family. i only gave 4 stars for performance because im not used to the edging wheel yet but im sure once i am it would be a 5 star from me. all in all a very happy purchase.

Excellent machine so far in many ways. Ability to quickly convert from strimmers to edger brilliant. Very powerful so cuts through grass very easily. Motor on end of handle means good balance and easy to use.

Really love this grass trimmer - it is very powerful and made short work of the long grass at the back of the house - it is a bit larger than the other one we had so covered the ground much more rapidly. usual b&d features and build quality - came with a nice long lead and was very easy to to use - too soon to say about reliability but not expecting any issues.

Definately the best electric strimmer i have used and at the price it would be hard to beat. Powerful enough to tackle the most overgrown areas, easy to get under low things and gets right up to the edge against walls and fences even if they are overhanging. Very well balanced and comfortable to handle and easy to re-string without having to buy expensive refills.

I would not describe this machine as 'heavy duty'. It is fine as a medium performance trimmer.

The handle is difficult to stabilise once the teeth of its locating wheel are worn. The accompanying instructions do not make clear that the toothed wheel can be depressed to fit the handle on to it. Having a pocket attached to the strimmer in which spare strimmer line can be kept would be a good idea.

Powerful grass cutter, but quite heavy compared to my old (much smaller) Flymo. Surprised there is no trigger safety catch. Edging wheel is too narrow and harder to guide than the roller on the old multitrim, and disappointingly it gobbles strimmer line. Used two full spools doing 4 not very big lawns.

I bought this just before Christmas last year, Since then I've gone through 3 spools of strimmer line, One that came pre-installed, and 2 which I've purchased. Problem is the 2 I bought lasted 5 minutes, and I have no idea why?.. I made sure the line was tight on the spool when it clicked into place, but as soon as I turned it on the line spilled out. I've read elsewhere to make sure the spring is in the housing cap, Mine didn't come with a spring in the cap?

Needed a replacement and the one that broke was a B & D and so I selected a model similar to the one that I had, but it is not as good

Customer Questions & Answers
Q : Hi, Does the guide wheel at the front prevent you from strimming right up to the wall.
A : Hi Hugh, the guide wheel is designed to sit within the cutting radius so as long as the line is fed to its correct length you should be OK - however, you could come up against obstructions which might get in the way, depending on how perfectly flat and even the wall is, and whether there are any obstacles on or around it. If the line gets too short for whatever reason, you might also find it doesn't quite reach it any more.
Q : I can understand why Dave asked you whether the trimmer comes with a power cable because a read of the user manual you provide a link for does raise a doubt as to whether it comes with one as standard. (It never ever occurred to me that it possibly wouldn't.) So when you guys say they 'come with a power cable', is it already in the box when you guys receive the trimmer or are you providing the cable yourself separately? Also, how long (in metres) is the power cable?
A : Hi Malc, unfortunately as we're all working from home at the moment I can't go and check one in the warehouse but we don't add anything from this end so the cable is included in the box - as to whether it's fixed or in two parts I'm not 100% sure, but we've sold over 400 of them recently so if customers couldn't use them I'm sure we would have had a large proportion of those back by now! Black & Decker haven't published the length of it in their specifications so I'm hesitant to assure you what this is, but according to third parties it's around 12 metres (please note I can't verify this, and in most cases it's safe to assume you will need a suitable extension reel when using a corded grass trimmer)
Q : Hi, is the handle length adjustable, & what is max height from grond to handle, I'm over 6ft and have to bend over when using my old B&B
A : Hi Peter, unfortunately this model is not telescopic and although I don't have the exact dimensions it looks like you might have trouble with it going by the usage images supplied by Black & Decker. We do stock some telescopic grass trimmers and larger brush cutters which may be more appropriate?
Q : How is the line replaced ie can you buy line separately and wind on spool, or do you buy new spool. If the latter how much and what length of line on spool
A : The GL7033 can be used with standard line or with single use heavy duty lines. The heavy duty lines are simply swapped out when they need to be changed, but the standard spool can either be replaced in whole, or refilled if you're happy to wind on the line yourself. All available line is shown in the "Accesssories" section on the right of the product page.
Q : Hi can you please tell me, if one can attach Metal weed brush or blades to this product, instead of the line. Thanks
A : Hi, no this designed for use with line only but if you go to the Brush Cutters category (in outdoor power tools) these machines can all be used with metal blades as well as nylon trimming line.
Q : Does it come with a power lead? How does the strimmer wire extend?
A : Yes, all corded electric grass trimmers on our site come with a power cable. The Black & Decker AFS Automatic single line feed system extends the line automatically so under normal circumstances you don't have to do anything and it should replenish any broken line by itself.
Q : Hi, I am about to buy the Black & Decker grass trimmer but I am not sure whether the battery and charger is included in the sale price. Are they?
A : Hi Margaret, the GL7033 is actually a corded tool so runs off mains electricity. We do sell Black & Decker cordless grass trimmers - for example the one on Product ID 20988146 - and these are usually available either with or without a battery charger. In these cases you would just choose what option you want from the green drop down menu on the right. If it says "Voltage: 240v" (like it does on this model) it is a corded tool.
Q : hi where do u get the strimmer incert lines from. thanks, g kerr
A : Hi Gerald, you can see all the accessories we stock for this strimmer listed under "Accessories for this Product" on the right of the product page
