Black and Decker STC1820PC 18v Cordless Grass Trimmer 280mm
Battery AH Explained
The best way to describe battery amp hour is that this is effectively the size of your fuel tank, the more amp hours your battery has then the longer the battery will last between charges. More amp hours does not increase the power of a given tool.
Battery Voltage Explained
A tool with a higher voltage than another is a bit like choosing an engine in a car, the higher voltage will generally mean higher power & performance. As with cars though a bigger engine does not always translate to better performance so it is important to compare the specifications of tools at different voltages between different manufacturers.
Black & Decker 18v System
The Black & Decker 18v Li-ion System is a range of 18v tools where all 18v batteries of all ah ratings fit all tools, allowing you to buy just a few batteries but as many of the range of bare tools that you need without the expense of a new batteries and chargers each time.

Very light & easy to work with. Copes well with short, fine grass but anything thicker is more of a challenge. Has 2 speeds, Normal & Turbo. Turbo works better for longer grass & is faster. The auto feed for the line works very well although I have no idea how long the line will last. Battery on Turbo lasts 15 minutes. It takes 4 hours to charge from flat. Have not tried the edging wheel. I find I have the machine fully extended to be a comfortable length to work with so very tall people may find it a bit short. A good strimmer on the whole for lawns or short grass.

Great trimmer. I was surpised of the sturdyness of the trimmer. Battery lasts long enough to do the back & front gardens. A well made quality product.

I can only pass on what I have been told. I bought this as a birthday gift for my son, he has used it several times and says he is very happy with it, easy to use , the only problem is the length of time to charge the battery.

Order received very promptly from Tooled-Up. Strimmer was easy to set up, is well balanced and easy to handle. The guard piece seems a bit flimsy but otherwise it looks pretty robust. I'm impressed with performance and battery life so far, gave it what seemed to me quite heavy work for a lightweight strimmer (very overgrown long grasss and weeds) and by cutting a layer at a time it had no problems, finished the job with no loss of battery power. I'm very happy, for its price I think it is a very good piece of kit and is ideal to meet my needs (occasional use on ordinary garden scale)

Great for edging borders in fact I wish I had bought one years ago. As a strimmer it is quick and easy to change from edger to strimmer for those long bits of grass that are missed. Rather lightweight as a strimmer for a large garden so I use a petroleum strimmer for large areas as this wouldn’t manage it but would be fine on a small garden. Not the fastest charge but does run for 30 minutes which is long enough to edge my lawns - just. Spools are meant to be replaced every time so no rewinding but I bought the line to rewind which was much cheaper. Wonderful buy and very quick service arrived in 2 days

Very happy with strimmer. Feels solid and well designed. Shame it doesn't extend just a couple inches more. I'm 6'3 and would suggest anyone taller would be better off with a longer strimmer to avoid bending and getting backache. Great service from Tooled Up - received quickly.

An excellent strimmer, charges easily and the charge lasted long enough for me to trim and edge both front and back gardens (medium sized), without running out. The edging facility is really useful.

I have never used a grass trimmer in my life (I am new to gardening) but this tool is a delight to use. It is quite light in weight and is so easy to use. The only slightly negative point is that the battery doesn't last as long as I would like (however, I might be expecting too much) and it takes a long time to charge up. For the price I am very happy with my purchase. Delivery of the tool was quite quick, and Tooled Up kept me well informed right up to the actual delivery.

I ordered a Black and Decker strimmer as mine broke. I was very pleased to find one for sale without the battery as I already had one from my old model and it meant a much cheaper price. Very pleased with my purchase and the speed and condition of its arrival.

This is my first Black & Decker cordless purchase, the strimmer to replace an aging budget corded one. After an overnight charge i put it to work along with the lawn attachment on the small lawn. Did a good job quick enough, albeit feeling a little lower powered than the old mains one, but to be expected. Completed the job and trimmed other edges. All easy and battery to spare. No cord means storage less cluttered, the optional lawn attachment has lots of moulding shapes underneath so clearing grass from it is not as easy as could be. Height adjust of it was easy. So ideal as advertised for a small garden. TooledUp service was quick and price really competitive.

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.

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.

Customer Questions & Answers
Q : How is it with cutting weeds?
A : It depends what you mean by weeds really - these types of machine (especially the 18v cordless battery powered ones) are primarily designed for cutting grass, though they obviously won't differentiate between weeds and grass, up to a point. However the tougher stuff will cause it to jam frequently and will place a lot more demand on the machine, so it might be wise to step up to something more heavy duty if you'll be doing more than just lawn edging. For especially overgrown areas, a brush cutter is what you'd normally use - these are designed to be used either with trimming line, or a solid blade, which will slice through tough stems without issue.
Q : Batteries and charger not supplied so what do they cost
A : All compatible batteries and chargers we stock are listed in the "accessories for this product" column on the right of the page - however, note that this is available with or without batteries and charger - you just need to select the appropriate kit you require from the green drop down menu before adding it to your basket
Q : Whats the guarantee with it is it 1yr or 2
A : Hi James, the STC1820PC has a 2 year guarantee - you can find the warranty information for any item on our website if you scroll down to the "More Help" section at the bottom of the page
Q : How does the automatic feed work?
A : I don't actually know the mechanics behind it but I've got the 36v version with the same type of line feed and the only time I ever notice there's no line deployed is on the odd occasion where the end whips around and jams back inside the hole. Other than it always feeds it by itself (somehow).
Q : Kindly advise where B & D are manufactured. Thanks
A : Hi Jeremy, I believe they actually have manufacturing facilities in several different countries but I'm sure the bulk of manufacturing and assembly will be done in China.
Q : I note you only sell this product with the 2ah battery, can you confirm if it will work well with the 1.5ah battery or would this be underpowered?
A : I can confirm that this will work with the BL1518 1.5ah battery. The ah rating is the amount of storage and not power.
Q : Can I use a bigger battery ?
A : I can confirm that power wise this is only compatible with Black and Decker 18v batteries, however, capacity wise, Black and Decker do manufacturer 18V batteries in the following capacities 1.5ah: BL1518. 2ah: BL2018. 4ah: BL4018.
