Weed Like To Give You A Father’s Day Gift! GIVEAWAY!

This Giveaway Is Closed!


Weed like to give you a brand new…..
 


 

Did you know that Mr. Remodelaholic loves tools?  I’t true!  I do. Any tool that makes the job easier is a tool on my list to buy.  And I was able to receive a new tool for my yard from Black and Decker this week.

Considering our desire to make life a little easier and a little cleaner we are starting to get yard tools that are environmentally friendly and take no fuel or oil to run them.  I am tired of dealing with the maintenance and cost associated them.  I recently received a sweet new Black and Decker Cordless 24-Volt String trimmer.  Yes! It is battery powered, which is great.  Now fuel or cords to deal with.

The timing could not have been better to receive a new trimmer for my yard.  Happy Father’s Day to me!  The trimmer that I have now is dying and needs to die, before I do from the amount of air pollution that it puts out into my lungs, yard and neighborhood.

Let me share with you what I love about this new trimmer.
These are the main features that I found awesome.

 

  • High Output 24V NiCad Battery  (good power)
  • Zero Emissions in My Yard!! (seriously you would choke with our old trimmer)
  • PowerCommand Technology (two speeds)
  • Over sized Handle (easy to handle and carry)
  • Lightweight Aluminum Shaft (not to heavy, easy to adjust for height)
  • Two-Tools-In-One (edger and trimmer)
  • Large 13 Inch Cutting Swath
  • Automatic Feed Spool System
The first thing that I noticed when I pulled it out of the box and assembled it, was how light weight it was.  It weighs about half the weight of my old gas trimmer.  That makes it easy to handle around the yard without straining my arms and back.


It did take me a while to find out how to start it though.  I was searching for the on switch when all I had to do is pull the trigger and I was off.  NICE and EASY!  Battery powered also means zero emissions.  My wife was always afraid for my life when she saw me out there trimming in a blue cloud of smoke.  I had to start wearing masks to protect my lungs.  


The High Output 24v NiCad Battery is a huge bonus.  24-volts is a lot of power for a battery.  It has two power levels too, with PowerCommand, to fit your needs whether you have tall grass or short grass to trim.  The other day I had grass up to my waist.  It is perfect cutting that down.  (Our mower died… so we still need to find a new one, I wasn’t slacking on my husbandly duties)

 It has a nice 13″ wide cutting surface that automatically adjusts the string when it gets short, so you don’t have to stop and stomp it on the ground.  It also holds 30′ of line, which is about double the length of standard trimmers.

It is not only a trimmer, but a edger too.  with a simple little twist of the shaft you can change the angle and cut a nice clean edge.  I love tools that have a multiple purpose.  It save room for me to buy MORE tools (insert evil laugh here)


As a teenager I worked with a landscaping company and had my own company during college so I have used many trimmers throughout the years gas powered and corded.  Overall, I think that this is one of the smartest designs for a trimmer that I have seen.  By the way it would make a great Fathers Day Gift for all you shoppers!  


Thanks Black and Decker for your great product!


-Mr. Remodelaholic

Wanna see the before and after?… and when I say before- I mean SCARY!  (remember our mower died, so we didn’t have one for a few weeks, okay technically we still haven’t forked over the money to buy a new one, but our neighbors have had pity on us, and haven’t chased us from the neighborhood with pitchforks and torches!)

 
Oh, so much better!

 Last week started out with a generous Black and Decker 24-volt Trimmer giveaway.  And the winner of the giveaway is comment number 59.  It looks like it pays off to tweet.
 
 
 
Who is …
 
 
Here is what her first comment was.
 
Oh! I don’t know that I DESERVE it…but we sure could use it! We have an electric mower and weed eater, both of which are on their last leg, but the house we currently live in has only one outside outlet. So we have to put like 5 extension cords together (which is a pain and dangerous!!) To reach all of the front and back yard.

Cordless is GOOD!!!

 
 
Congratulations Lorie!!!

  1. >We deserve a trimmer b/c we have lots of trees in our yard that I refuse to cut down but really need to be trimmed around!

  2. >This is a great giveaway! I forgot to mention in my other comment that I am a follower via Google Reader!

  3. >this is a fantastic giveaway, one that i would love to win, so my boy can have an easier time doing our lawn and to cut down on the cursing that happens each time!

  4. >Well, considering we're closing on a 1937 brick bungalow the end of the month and the elderly people who live there weren't able to do any yard work at all, I 'd say we'd qualify for this!

  5. >Our yard is so bad that we have ripped out the sod TWICE, laid down grass seed once, and laid down new sod once. It is finally beginning to look like a normal yard but we'd love a trimmer to keep it looking sharp!

  6. >As a single girl with no husband or boyfriend to do my lawn bidding, anything that would make it easier to maintain my house would be wunnerful!!

  7. >Oh my goodness! This giveaway couldn't be happening at a better time. Our gas trimmer went out on a us a few months back. Which was probably a good thing b/c it would smoke like crazy! So not good! DH and I just moved and we have a fenced in backyard and without a trimmer to go around the fence, it looks a little rough back there!

  8. >Oh, please pick me!

    My front and back yard has been a complete challenge that I can't quite tackle. I got a mower last weekend and their trimmer would definitly help with the edges and trim.

    Check it out,

  9. >Entry #2!

    PS: I love your little house. Is that storage? A dog house? do you have plans? I'm looking at building something very similar.

  10. >We just got a house a month ago and are still borrowing all our yard tools from parents…and I'm supposed to throw a shower in less than two weeks and all we've got still are tall weeds and no grass!

  11. >Pick me! I have to borrow a trimmer all of the time and it is corded so I can only do a small space. The parking strips for six homes on my block are all maintained by me because I am compulsive. Unfortunately, my extension cord won't reach to the neighbors and it looks bad.

    Please pick me!

  12. >Oooh- if I dared take a picture of my yard. The hubbie and I haven't been able to start the week-wacker this year. This has resulted in a new kind of fence around our yard. Nice mown grass…. with a tall green hedge where the mower won't reach. It's getting to the point of ridiculous as it creeps inches past the sidewalk in front of our door (the sidewalk is a good 4 inches above the normal grass level- perfect for tripping). Since I usually have the baby carrier on while doing yard-work, I've excluded myself from bending over and hand-mowing the edges- its a bit hard with the babe inside. Rambling. The point? We'd love to win a whacker.

  13. >I would love to win this whacker for my new hubby! He is such a good sport about trying to make our new house look nice with crappy old equipment. It would be great if he had something new to work with!

  14. >First off I heart your blog. I think it is making my husband crazy all the things I want to do.
    I can't tell you how much I need this. First off its been a rough year (lost jobs), and I don't have any $ to even buy my husband a fathers day present. We moved into our home a year ago, and haven't planted grass because we can't afford the tools to maintain it. this would really help us. and if you could see my lawn right now… you would know I would need it.
    Please pick me.
    I gave you shout out on facebook, and I'm a follower on there too!
