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. >I've been looking at these for a while now. We just moved into our first house and my SO just said last week he needed one of these. I like the fact it's light so maybe I could use it while he's at work and help him out 🙂 It would be perfect timing for Father's Day and I could get him the grill we've been dying for too. He'd have the best father's day ever!

    I follow you on Reader 🙂

  2. >We JUST moved into our first house, and the yard is already in need of some serious TLC. This would majorly help the hubs keep things looking nice so the neighbors don't start talking bad about us from the get go. No one wants to be "that" neighbor with the overgrown lawn.

  3. >I need this trimmer because our poor yard is nothing BUT weeds. We have been slowly planting grass and trying to get rid of them, but they are taking over!

  4. >I need this!!! I have been watching the commercials!

    I lost my Dad in 2008 and I lost my 43 year old husband in 2001. It's just me and I push mow 1.25 acres. A weedeater would be wonderful so I don't have to borrow one.

    I already follow your blog. You would not believe how excited I got when I saw this giveaway!!!

    Fingers crossed!

  5. >A weed eater, edger? We need it because we just bought our first house and move in a few weeks. My husband would love another lawn tool that his wife won't let him but yet.

  6. >Yep I could use a string trimmer… we just built the kids a playset and I know the mower won't get into the edges! So… pretty please 🙂

  7. >My husband and I need one because we just bought our first house (so have NO lawn equipment yet!) and it's a short sale that's been under contract for 3 months and we're still waiting to set a closing date – drove by the other day and the grass is knee-high! We would LOVE to win this! 🙂

  8. >Oooh, I'd love to have this! My fence and side walk make it difficult to get a fully manicured lawn unless we borrow my parent's weed wacker. Oh, and that space on the other side of our driveway needs it badly!!

  9. >oh my, this is a nice prize.. I dont do the weedeating, but my son could sure use this. OUrs, although it has been the best we've ever bought, is about to die.

  10. >We need one of these because our backyard is turning into a jungle! There is a portion of our yard behind our detached garage that we can't see so it has become overgrown and obnoxious! I'll have to remember to take a picture and link it so you can all see…
    Thanks!

  11. >I am already a follower, through Google Reader! I love the blog 🙂

    Just yesterday, my mother told me she wants to get my dad a new weed eater for Father's Day! What a coincidence, huh? I would love to win this so my mama and I can get my dad something extra!

  12. >great giveaway! I do my own mowing and trimming, so I would love this for my yard! I am a follower (of course!)

  13. >and THIS would be my Just For Fun entry! Even though there is nothing fun about yardwork, it might be a little easier with this baby!

  14. >I would love to win this for my Father-in-law. He always jokes that every present we give him no matter the shape or size is a weed eater. Plus I think he could actually use a new one.
