Neuton 26855 36-Volt Battery For CE 6.2 and CE 6.3 Lawn Mowers Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I traded an old gas powred mower in for a Neutron when SMUD had a trade-in program last summer. I got one season out of the battery and now it will not hold a charge. The mower itself is flimsy and I will not purchase another one again. Sad because I believe in zero-emissions products.

Duracell, the battery trusted everywhere, powers the Neuton Mower. With a Spare Battery on hand and you will always have enough power to finish the job.This unique, removable battery simply lifts for easy charging. Drop in a freshly charged battery and start mowing again in seconds.Most other mowers don't have a removable battery, you have to wait for hours to recharge their onboard battery before mowing again. 100% recyclable, the Duracell Rechargeable 360 watt-hour (36v/10Ah) sealed lead-acid AGM battery weighs 26 pounds and recharges overnight. The average recharge cost is only 10 cents, meaning you can mow for months for less than the cost of one gallon of gasoline. Works with Neuton CE 6 Mower models.

Black & Decker HPB18 18-Volt Slide-Pack Battery Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It is amazing how one becomes accustomed, over time, to less that great performance when one has nothing to compare it to. Two of my six (several years old) old batteries finally gave up the ghost and would not recharge. I use them on a cordless drill, pole-extension type chain saw and pole-extension type trimmer. I finally decided to start replacing them while the design was still available remembering the demise of the B&D Versa-Pack batteries. My batteries arrived very quickly. I had either never experienced or had totally forgotten what my equipment could do on new batteries. The model number was different but they were the batteries used by my tools. It took only one battery to do the job normally requiring two to three of the older ones and I still had the power and torque on my tools to continue on to the next project. They must've upgraded the cells in these new packs.
Were my old batteries ever this good? I just don't remember and don't think so, but I am, none the less, a very happy customer with these new ones.

Bayco LBC-600C Deluxe Light Bulb Changer Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This works as advertised. I have used it to replace some flood lights in my high ceiling. My kit came with a pole that telescopes in three sections, but you could use a regular broom handle if your ceiling isn't too tall. To replace the bulb, you push the changer up over the bulb -- the arms spring around it -- and then twist it off. Put the new bulb into the changer, twist it in, and then wiggle the changer loose with a side to side motion.
But it gets better. I've found other uses for it -- this year we had a bumper crop of apricots on our backyard tree and we used the flood light attachment to pick fruit from the taller branches. The basket shape of the flood light changer was perfect for catching the fruit! We put the changer under the fruit and gave it slight tug -- if the fruit was ripe, it would fall gently into the changer's basket. We tried to keep the fruit on the tree as long as possible, and this was really great.
Tonight, I even adapted the kit to change the 9v battery in my smoke alarm! I strapped a magnet to the pole with velcro and used another pole I have to help push it into position and close the door.

Black & Decker HPB18-OPE 18-Volt Slide Pack Battery For 18-Volt Outdoor Cordless Power Tools Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Black and Decker has at least 7 versions of the Slide 18v battery pack. You have no guidance which is better than the other as B&D absolutely refuses to publish the ampere rating or number of contacts of any of them.
Battery identification is poor: Every battery I have seen is marked "244760-00." What good is that in identifying the battery? There are some molded-in numbers but B&D absolutely refuses to tell you what they mean.
On the blister pack for the HPB18-OPE you read "25% more power than the standard battery*" Finding the "*", it says "Compared to the HPB18." Both are the same price on Lowes shelves. B&D absolutely refuses to divulge how these two compare to each other or the FireStorm series.
A Factory Store manager has said two Firestorm versions were once better but have been downgraded this past 12-18 months and are usually worse than the HP18 units. B&D absolutely refuses to divulge any history of the FireStorm 18V batteries.
These batteries will connect to three types of chargers. One will charge the battery in 9 hours, another in 3 hours, and the last in 1 hour. Between the battery and charger combination, severely reduced battery life will result if the battery is left on the charger longer than 2 days. On another the degrade occurs only after 30 days. The third does not damage the battery in any length of time. You are left to guess which combination is optimum and which is a disaster. B&D absolutely refuses to divulge which is which.
I have many hours into trying to make heads or tails out of this, including several contacts on the phone, and e-mails with B&D, ditto plus in person at a factory store and factory repair station. The B&D Factory Stores and Repair Stations concur with my view that B&D is extremely arrogant, totally wrong in their attitude, and show no willingness to change.

Black & Decker NPT318 18-Volt Cordless Electric Pole Hedge Trimmer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)That may seem like an odd title for a review on a Hedge trimmer but if you've read the review by "Frank" you'll understand. The NPT318 is an amazing machine.
I have the worst kind of hedges -tall 6-9feet, difficult to reach because of cramped space/sloping ground and encroaching citrus trees. The hedges are mainly bougainvillea which has awful thorns. The citrus have thorns too.It is hot and the hedges are overgrown because of record winter rains.In addition , I am not particularly strong. So, this is a good test situation.
Yes this machine is difficult to operate at full reach horizontaly, but the alternatives are worse. I have used a 2-cycle hedge trimmer - a viscious ,noisy ,stinky beast. It is heavier! I bought my Dad a 240volt (yes off the mains for use in U.K.) German pole hedge trimmer. It is more powerful but just as unwieldy .In addition you have the power cord to deal with.
I found the run time ideal - it still had plenty of charge after 45 minutes attacking the bougainvillea.By then I needed a rest anyway. I charged it during lunch and then attacked some more hedge. Some of this required me to use it at full stretch - I am 6ft with long arms +the pole -yes these are monster hedges. The machine worked perfectly. The alternative is wobbling on a step ladder ,juggling a power cord and trying to avoid the thorns. So far I've done all my hedges and the neighbor's without a scratch. It is far too hot to wear a shirt and using my old B&D with a power cord+ step ladder I would look like someone from a crucifiction scene in the movies by now. The combination of citrus and bougainvillea is bloody!
My suggestins to B&D to improve the NPT 318 are:
1.Increase the voltage from 18v to 24v. This will increase the run-time/decrease motor weight/increase power.
2.Make the battery and charger interchangeable with other B&D equipment.
3. Use lighter-weight metals(magnesium alloy?) for the blade and pole. The weight of the battery isn't a problem because of it's location on the handle.
4. Consider offering an extending pole like Remington use on their pole chain saws.
5. Design the NPT 318 so you can use it without the pole - like a conventional cordless hedge trimmer.
6. When Black & Decker have a prototype they can test it on my bougainvillea !:-)

Black & Decker CCS818 18-Volt Cordless Electric Chain Saw Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a nice small branch trimmer. Its downfall is the chain oil is gravity feed onto the chain and leaks consistently. Wherever you store the chainsaw will get oil underneath. I'd give it 5 stars if they fixed that issue.I'm still pleased with the purchase and have learned to deal with the oil problem by simply carrying a small squirt bottle of oil and adding it directly to the chain, bypassing the leaky oil chamber.

Sunforce 81096 Solar Shed Light Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When the factory-charged batteries ran out the solar panel would not charge the light. This was a fluorescent version. The replacement unit- quickly sent by Amazon -was LED. The same case and everything but with bright LEDs inside. I liked it much better than the fluorescent one.
The second unit charged and worked very well until the charge was depleted. Then the LEDs would start blinking. Like an emergency light. Sunforce said that this was not normal behavior. I returned it as well. The light will stay up for around two hours, charge quickly but the blinking made it unfit for continuous use. A nice product but quallity needs to be improved.
