Black and Decker are well known for their electric power tools. Their Grass Hog XP corded trimmer features a high torque engine that can cut a fourteen-inch wide swath. It also comes in a popular, battery-powered version that’s heavier, but has more freedom of movement without the extension cord. At less than seven pounds, this unit is one of the lightest featured and less expensive than gas trimmers. The line automatically feeds as needed and trimmer head guard can be rotated for easier and more accurate edging. Although not as robust as the gas powered string trimmers, this is a good choice for grass trimming in small yards.
