Black & Decker CCC3000 18-Volt Cordless Electric Lawncare Center Review

I was previously using all gas powered yard tools, blower, hedge trimmer, string trimmer, great products but loud, smelly and sometimes difficult to start. I had been looking at electric powered products to get rid of those trips to the gas station, however, pulling an electrical cord around my yard did not appeal to me at all. Then i came across this kit on amazon. The Black & Decker is a good one IMO so i took a chance and ordered from amazon.
I have been highly satisfied the battery power last well enough on my 12,000 square foot lot. The tool are nice and quiet and i can do my yard work early in the morning without disturbing the neighbors. I must say all 3 products work great for their intended purpose. The bonus IMO is the batter charger mount that can charge all three included batteries at the same time. Also, the mountable storage station is great and makes storing the equipment easy. My father came over and was hooked on these and placed an order the next day, great products at a great price from amazon what could be better, lol.......
**UPDATE**04/17/2010
Im still using this same equipment right at 5 YEARS! later and they work great. Im still using 2 of the 3 B&D batteries that I purchased for the set. I was just searching for new batteries and could not believe its been 5 years that this equipment and batteries have lasted, well worth the money for the quality and ease of use.

Everything you need to put the finishing touches on your lawn is right here in the Black & Decker 18 Volt Lawncare Center. You get three rechargeable tools to prune the hedges, clear hard surfaces, and trim and edge the tight spaces in your yard. The included charger keeps the two batteries juiced up, and a wall mount lets you store everything out of the way.
An Electric Blower That Sweeps in SecondsMake quick work of clearing grass clippings, dry leaves, or loose debris from your walkways, patios, and garage with the NS118 Cordless Broom/Hard Surface Sweeper. The rechargeable 18-volt battery gives it plenty of air pushing power, and its light weight lets you finish off any task without getting tired. It's designed for quiet operation to protect your hearing and reduce noise pollution.

Take Care of the Details with the Grass Hog Edger/TrimmerThe included NST2018 Grass Hog Cordless String Trimmer covers more lawn area with its 12-inch cut path, and it switches quickly and easily to edging around pathways and flower gardens with the touch of a button. The Automatic Feed Spool keeps the line at the optimum length for every task. This string trimmer is light enough for anyone to use, and its adjustable handle lets you find the most comfortable position while you work.

Sculpt Perfect Hedges and ShrubsA low-vibration, dual-action mechanism makes the included NHT518 Hedgehog Hedge Trimmer more comfortable to hold and use, and its 22-inch blade makes it easy to reach and trim branches that are up to 3/4 inches thick. At just 6.4 pounds, it's light and easy to maneuver, and the rechargeable battery holds enough juice for 25 minutes of trimming.

Power on Demand from Two-Battery ChargerThe included battery charger holds and powers the two rechargeable batteries--so your tools will be ready to go when you need them. Because the batteries are interchangeable, you can switch them out among any of the three tools for extended work time, or enlist a couple of helpers to knock out multiple tasks at once.

Store the string trimmer, hedge trimmer, and blower in the included wall mount to keep them protected when not in use.

All three tools are covered by a two-year warranty.

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

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 !:-)
