Black and Decker STC1820PC 18v Cordless Grass Trimmer 280mm

David Leach 07/04/2021 16:07:18

Pretty good so far, had 2 flymo cordless strimmers previously and both batteries failed within 2 years of light use so will never buy a flymo product again, only used this one twice so fingers crossed this will last far longer, seems well built and well made quality construction.

Good so far, great price and quick delivery and easy customer journey

Steve Munslow 01/04/2021 20:49:32

Nice strimmer at a great price

Band D battery strimmer. Had one for years and it was getting tired. Looked on internet and this was by far the best value. The service was great and it arrived early. Already put it to use and it is great. Definitely recommend this company.

This was bought very easily from Tooled Up. Even in these difficult times the service was excellent (as always) and is highly recommended! This was bought to replace the same model of B&D 280mm strimmer that I had been using for over 2 years now - it was a very opportune time to buy it, as it was for Christmas! This strimmer performs very well, is well balanced and easy to use, which is why I chose it again (I already had several good lithium batteries and a decent charger). Its only weak point, if I have to mention one I experienced with the previous identical unit, is that the final mounting for strimmer head / gear train, being plastic, wears away after several years' reasonable use. This produces increased vibration, as the strimmer head starts to wobble, and eventually it would probably come loose. Hence just 4 stars for build quality - every thing else was very sturdy. (B&D may of course have inproved this aspect of the design - time will tell.)

I love this strimmer, light and easy to use and the wheel for doing edging is just great. So far so good.

Dave powell 08/09/2020 08:54:13

First time ive used battery product. Effortless.

Susan Benford 12/08/2020 15:30:42

Very pleased with this strimmer. Excellent value for money as includes battery and charger. Fully charged within an hour, light and easy to use.

Stephanie Walton 23/07/2020 14:43:04

This is a new purchase only used twice. Up till now I am very happy with its performance. It is much lighter than my previous petrol strimmer with far less vibration, and is extremely easy to use. I am very pleased with my purchase.

Len 22/07/2020 18:16:42

Early days, but it is light and easy to use, and Black and Decker tools are as a rule pretty good.

S. Holmes 13/07/2020 18:50:13

I bought this as a present for a short & slightly built female. The weight & ease of use of this model has proved to be ideal for everything she has done with it so far. Had clear instructions , charged in exactly the time suggested, is well made & perfect weight whether holding downwards or higher up. She says it's great value for money & would recommend it.

This trimmer is light in weight so not fatiguing in use, and plenty of power for my needs.I now have three tools in this range and have been very satisfied with each one. Good to know that replacement batteries are readily available unlike previous similar purchases. A faster charger would be very welcome though. I would happily recommend this tool.

Jimmy 25/06/2020 18:03:46

Bought this to take advantage of the two B+D 18V batteries that I already have from a power drill. The grass trimmer works fine in lower power mode, the high power mode is a handy option for dense areas which I don't find the need for very often. The guide wheel for use in edging makes the job a lot easier. The telescopic body also helps maintaining a good posture whilst in action. Overall, the unit is sturdy with decent finishing. Happy with the purchase.

Great little strimmer for light work. I have a petrol strimmer for the hard stuff and also have an electric flymo, but I reckon I will use this more. Its just more convenient -no cables and no starting or running problems. It goes through the battery in about 15 mins but I have spares from my drills, so not an issue for me. I would advise having a spare if you have anything but a small garden. I have a fairly big garden and you can get a lot of grass and tree edging done in that time. The petrol strimmer really damages tree bark, even the electric harms the apple trees, this doesnt so ideal for what I wanted. I was pleasantly surprised at not one single line break (nightmare with a petrol strimmer) -probably because its not spinning as hard as a petrol. That saved a lot of time and annoyance. Nice length adjustment and swivel for vertical/horizontal cutting too. Some complain the wheel gets in the way but I didnt find it an issue at all. Very pleased with it.

Joan Forrest 23/06/2020 18:00:40

I bought one of these for myself and my son ask to use it because his was broken, he was shuff to bits with it, he said it was so light also easy to use so he ask me to order one for him and I know how light and easy it is myself because I am 80 years old

Ian Forsyth 16/06/2020 18:15:23

Great strimmer. Much better than a Gtech. Might need a spare battery for big gardens.

Caroline 28/05/2020 16:19:24

I bought this strimmer as I needed something lightweight and it is fine for what I want. Its not heavy and the handle adjusts to make it comfortable for different areas you might want to work on. I bought an extra battery which is useful as I know I will have time to complete what I want without running out of battery. I would recommend getting two batteries.

Igor 26/05/2020 15:54:34

Recommend this Grass Trimmer. It is really powerful.

Brian Nicholson 25/05/2020 14:19:52

An excellent tool which is easy to use and works efficiently.

ian matthews 10/05/2020 16:58:20

Good machine reasonably priced does what it claims to do

Jocelyne Cumberledge 03/05/2020 21:33:39

Brilliant strimmer Excellent value for money Easy to use

R.C.Smith 16/04/2020 15:53:53

Used it twice, to date, and found it well up to the task. The ‘boost’ feature is a useful option, as is the peripatetic battery, for use in other B&D power tools.

A Mairs 03/04/2020 15:49:00

Good product. Easy to assemble, lightweight to use. Very useful having two power levels.

MARCIN STEFANSKI 01/04/2020 16:59:34

It is battery powered so not as strong as plug-in models. Still for small garden, it is all I need. Only criticism is that I am 6'1" so for me handle is a bit short.

Ian 18/09/2019 19:27:42

Good piece of kit. Already having the required batteries made it a no brainer. Does the job of any corded strimmer.

Sharon 17/09/2019 18:11:43

Easy to set up, although it took a while to charge the battery initially. Easy and efficient to use. Needs something to say when the battery is about to run out - flashing light/beep? If I were taller it may be a bit short for me, I'm 5 foot 8 inches.

Thompson 23/06/2019 11:04:09

Speedy delivery. Product lightweight, charge lasts 40 mins. Very happy with purchase

Robert Mc Ewan 14/06/2019 15:58:25

Great service ideal no wires ease of use around the garden

John Hopewell 02/08/2018 15:36:07

no problems

John Hopewell 02/08/2018 15:34:43

Super product and serves my requirements.

David Williams 06/05/2018 21:22:35

Great way to buy this strimmer without the battery as I already owned one. Seems quite powerful and the battery last at long enough for all my tasks.

H Greenland 17/07/2017 17:27:05

Lightweight strimmer which I bought for work when the petrol one would be 'over the top'. There is a technique to getting it to cut longer grass/weeds, but the Turbo feature is excellent.

David Barnett 15/07/2020 15:58:26

Typical B&D, not a bad useful tool. Only used it once so to early to give thorough review. Delivered a week earlier than quoted.

Greg 22/08/2019 15:27:08

It’s ok fit for purpose

Eddie 28/08/2018 21:03:36

Very disappointed that the trimmer only came with a 0.4amp charger that takes 5 hrs to charge the battery. When I ask if I could change it for a 1amp charger I was refused. Would not buy from TooledUp again.
