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.

3 out of 5 stars Excellent motor, but battery does not go the distance.   September 20, 2008
I purchased this hoping that a manufacturer had finally built a trimmer that was both powerful and had good battery life. Black & Decker got half of what I was looking for. The motor on this is as powerful as any gas model carving through thick clumps of grass from in between walkways stones with ease. The problem is that under this heavy use the battery lasts approximetly 15 minutes. It runs at full strength till the end, but the end comes to quickly for such an expensive battery. When I bought an extra battery for $100, I thought it would be a modern Nickle-Metal Hydride battery, it's not. The battery is Nickle Cadmium. I think if Black & Decker had used a more modern battery, it would have lasted a lot longer. Under heavy use had the battery lasted 25 minutes, I would have been satisfied (or if the battery was cheaper.)



4 out of 5 stars Nice & Easy String Trimmer   September 16, 2008
I own a Stihl FS250 for serious work on large wooded acreage, but wanted a simple string trimmer for light to medium work that my wife (and I) could use around the house. I first bought an inexpensive 18V B&D which served only to prove that the convenience has merit, but even my wife thought it was weak and I returned it. So, after much deliberation primarily about the cost I bit the bullet and ponied up for the B&D 36V NST2036. I am pleased with the dual feed, excellent power for general purpose work and I think the battery life is adequate. There's more plastic than I had expected, especially considering the price. The charger has 2 charging bays. If B&D had included 2 batteries (same price) instead of only one, they would have a perfectly wonderful package. Instead, I resent the obvious marketting ploy to lure us back to buy another overpriced component. I'd allow myself to be more excited about the NST2036 if it wasn't for the cost and then some. For now I simply manage the 1 battery situation and my Stihl is rigged full time with a brush cutting blade.


5 out of 5 stars Love this weed eater   September 13, 2008
After having a gas powered line trimmer for 15 years, I am really glad I went to this electric trimmer for my property. I have an average size 75x150' yard in town and trim around a lot of objects. I find i can get 3 trims before needing recharging. I really like that you don't have to mess with gasolne mixing as well as the starting problems with gas trimmers (choking, pull starting endlessly, etc.). It's nice to be able to just pull the trigger and have it completely stop & start. This is nice when trimming closely around flowers & such as you're not always wacking off the flowers. You can adjust the length in a snap as well---great feature. This is not a cheap trimmer but it has great power and is heavy-duty in construction and excellent ergonomics. Bottom line---simple and easy to use and maintain---period.


1 out of 5 stars 36V battery sucks   September 11, 2008
The trimmer works fine but only for 30-minutes at a time- that is how long the battery works. It has to charge overnight and all you get is 30 minutes. I should have bought a gas-operated trimmer but thought this would be more environment friendly. I have completely lost faith in Black and Decker stuff and don't intend to every buy anything from them again.


5 out of 5 stars great trimmer   September 8, 2008
