Very pleased with the product. Comfortable to use and functioned very well. Light but powerful. Excellent cutter. The only quibble I have is that the plastic blade cover was of poor quality and tore on the first occasion I tried to put it on. Also when I reported this, I was told that I would have to contact B & D. Disappointing!

I gave this hedge trimmer a good work out shortly after it arrived. It stood up to the task very well and I am pleased with result. The blade was long and had a good reach. Seems to be of sturdy construction and the build quality is good. I believe it will last a good number of years. The cable could be longer, but not really an issue because you would tend to expect to use an extension cable in any event. Very pleased.

A very good hedge cutter, seems robust and at the same time quite light. It cut through some pretty heavy branches.

I have owned two of these trimmers previously but the blades had stopped functioning on the last ones. I have chosen to buy the same trimmer again because it is the lightest I can find with a 600 mm blade and a fairly wide cut. I do have a lot of hedges so the trimmer has to work hard and, even though these trimmers usually need to be replaced every two years, the weight, size and price make it the most viable option. I think that the trimmer will be more than adequate for most gardens.

Having had a Black and Decker hedge trimmer before I wanted to replace my old one (which lasted for over 30 years) with a new one. So I started looking and found the GT 6060. If you are looking for a hedge trimmer this one is definitely the one to buy, cuts through the hedge with ease, it`s well balanced and has a good reach with the long blade. It used to take about 2 hours to cut my hedges with my old one the GT6060 does it in under an hour. absolutely brilliant. Would definitely recommend.

Well satisfied with quality and performance

I bought this as my old hedge trimmer was hard work and heavy (circa 10 years old). This new one is fantastic and I wish i had bought it years ago. i just cut my long privet hedge in 1/3 of the time! The build quality is high. It feels robust. The switches are easy to operate. My hands no longer get cramp gripping to keep the switches in contact. The cut is excellent, requiring a couple of sweeps to get a good finish. It manages thicker stems easily, allowing a more severe cut where required. The trimmer is reasonably quiet. It was just noisy enough for me to want to wear ear defenders for longer usage (1 hour plus) due to the motor noise. A decent blade cover would have been nice, but the thin slip is adequate. This is a small negative for an otherwise brilliant product at a great price. I would recommend this any time.

This is my third b & d hedge trimmer over recent years and each one has been satisfactory and reliable. The motor actually burnt out on the last model after more than 8 years of use. this latest hedge trimmer worked well on my annual cut of approximately 90 meters of beech and hawthorn hedge. It is a slightly more powerful version of the prior model and this makes a difference. It is reasonably light and easy to use and the longer blade enables a good reach when cutting the top of the hedges. Build quality is satisfactory for the its use. it is probably not the most sophisticated of hedge cutters but the price is very competitive when compared to the competition. while i had thought of buying a more expensive model, a bosch, i decided that this offered best value for a product i need once a year. based on my history with this brand i would certainly recommend dependent on your needs. I see no reason why this model will be any less reliable in the future than the others i have had.

Very pleased with this product, it makes light work of even the thickest hedge. as i have three large hedges to deal with it has been well tested, hopefully the performance will stay the same with time.

Great, powerful hedge trimmer from a reputable brand you can trust. The blade guard is the only thing that is flimsy, but that is the only minor imperfection. Overall very happy with the item, the service from tooled up.Com and the delivery service.

John 12/07/2014 10:17:26

Good price and includes lubricating oil. Trimmer works very well and is nice and long. The blade guard is just a cheap flimsy plastic sheath, awkward to put on. They should include a rigid one like my bosch came with at this price level.

Exactly what i wanted, blade length, tooth size and top price combined. The tracking service was fantastic, enabled me to get back to the house just as the van pitched up and not waste my day wondering when it would arrive. This will be my first stop for all my future equipment purchases and will recommend it unreservedly.

Long reach blade with wide teeth for sizeable branches, matched by a powerful motor. A good length lead, combined with the build quality and safety features that you expect from black & decker, it made short work of overgrown shrubbery and provides all that most home gardeners will ever require of a hedge trimmer. Very good value for a model at the top end of the electric trimmer range.

well balanced and sharp works well on small branches

Mark 12/09/2018 09:42:58

As always, being asked to review something that’s less than a month old! Had one of these before though, it lasted about 2 years before the trigger packed in. Decided to take a gamble on another, as it’s so cheap and I like working with new, sharp tools. Cuts well, has fairly good balance and not too heavy. Delivered promptly by Tooled up.
