Cordless edger

Why We Chose It

The BLACK+DECKER LST522-CA is the trimmer for those who believe in power without compromise. It features a Power Drive Transmission for torque that could probably intimidate a small animal. Two-speed control gives you the option to choose between brute force or a more conservative approach when your neighbor starts giving you the side-eye. The automatic feed spool means you won't have to engage in the traditional wrestling match with your trimmer line. And yes, the battery is part of the 20V MAX System, so you can swap it around like a kid with trading cards. All this in a package that weighs less than a feather, assuming you're in an alternate universe where negative weight exists. It's like they built this thing to laugh in the face of physics.

What It Doesn't Do

• Defy the laws of gravity despite its weight.
• Make your lawn self-maintaining.

Who It's For

Meet the lawn warrior who treats weekends as an opportunity to tame the wilderness, armed with this trimmer like it's a lightsaber. There's the gadget geek who appreciates a tool that can multitask, transforming from a trimmer to an edger faster than you can say 'overgrown garden.' Lastly, there's the battery hoarder who smirks at the idea of a proprietary system, knowing full well that every 20V MAX tool is just another excuse to expand their collection. They all have one thing in common: a distaste for garden equipment that requires a PhD in mechanical engineering to operate.
