BLACK+DECKER GL7033GB Review

The BLACK+DECKER GL7033GB Electric Grass Trimmer is a highly effective, easy to use and powerful grass trimmer. It has a cutting width of 33cm and a powerful motor (as well as high torque gears) that let the blades cut through tough grass/weeds quickly and without clogging. The trimmer successfully and precisely reaches areas where lawnmowers can't.

We particularly like the grass trimmer's edge cutting functionality. It has a wheel guide which both facilitates neat cutting and prevents damage to plants. It works on borders such as pathways and next to flower beds, as well as up against walls, fences and sheds. We also like the second handle which provides extra grip. Note that the trimmer comes with a 10 metre long spool.
