What Black & Decker Lawn Equipment Would You Have? Discussion in 'Lawn Mowing' started by OldLawnMowerMan81, Apr 11, 2011. Tags:
black and decker
lawn and garden
trimmer
I am not sure where to place this topic, but: Does anyone familiar with Black & Decker lawn and garden equipment - trimmers included know what the best models that I should get? I am trying to stay away from anything "Made in China" which is why all the models I want to find are old (I want "Made in U.S.A." or, in a lesser case, "Made in England" or "Made in Canada"), outdated, obsolete and parts NLA.

Don't mean to disappoint you. But black and decker equipment is junk. Straight up garbage. Do you planning using black and decker equipment for commercial use? I hope not. Posted via Mobile Device

I also need to point out that several of the 8209 and 8255 grass trimmers had been recalled, so if I find one of those they would have the appropriate CPSC-mandated modifications. Otherwise, I would have to find myself such parts the CPSC wants me to use. ~Ben OldLawnMowerMan81, May 26, 2011

The best B&D lawn tools are the ones owed by someone else.
