Black & Decker Hedge Hog Trimmer Review

I though going electric and cordless was the best way to save . not only my time but a buck here and there on  gas, that was I went and bought a B&D Hedge Hog . remembering how well my 18V Bosch Drill performed for more that 6yrs.

Now let get back to the Hog.

Day 1. After charging both batteries for the recommended 24hrs.My Hog ate up first battery in less than 24 minutes and gobbled the second battery in about the same amount  of time. Well I figured I didn't leave them charging long enough so back on the charger they went. So I figured I get the shrubs picked  and cleaned up.noticing that the trimmings where more of a break and tear then a nice clean cut.Not a problem I'll give a touch up tomorrow when the batteries are fully charged.

Day 2 After another 26 hrs . I removed my batteries and just to be sure I got out my volt meter and took a reading.They where charged 20.8 DCV. Needless to say my Hog ran slower then the before and ate up the batteries just as quickly. What more can be said I purchased it in Nov. 07 and didn't open the till JUN. 08 and where did I put that receipt
