Yard Machine Battery

Review by Bonnie J. Peach "Bonnie J M Peach" : garden culitver

I ordered the cultiver to use in my garden. It is light weight and easy to handle. The batteries are nice. I don't have a cord to drag around. I have a big tiller, but it is heavy and hard to handle. It does a good job breaking up the dirt and weeds. I would recommend it to anyone to use. It isn't hard to handle and it doesn't hurt your muscles like the heavy ones do. Bonnie J M Peach

Review by William F. Adams "WFA Angelfire" : This is a Time and Labor Saver

Black & Decker's new cordless cultivator is a real innovation. It is perfect for those smaller spaces that cannot be reached with a conventional cultivator. This would include smaller garden spaces, raised garden beds, and lawn patches. The overall weight of the unit is very manageable, and the handle-mounted 18V battery provides a nice balance. It is best that the soil being cultivated is not too wet or muddy or having too much of a clay consistency. In those circumstances the digging tines of the cultivator can get repeatedly clogged with mud or clay. Before dealing with tough clay soil, it would be wise to incorporate soil amendments (such as peat moss) to break down the clay. This product works very well in fixing those dead spots in a lawn. After the soil in the dead patch is loosened, new grass seeds can be sown, and then covered with a light layer of top soil. This turns a dreaded back-breaking job that is done usually on one's hands and knees into a quick, simple, and even fun stand-up assignment. The adjustable hand grip will help fit this unit to a wide variety of people, large and small. The Black & Decker Cultivator has plenty of power for all normal soil surfaces. It won't replace a jack hammer or a trench digging machine any time soon, but for its assigned task of loosening soils so that you can plant your garden or repair your lawn, it is very well-suited to the task. It also makes a great "weeder" for patrolling between planted rows to get rid of unwanted weeds. So far, the battery life easily has outlasted all of my cultivating chores. Thus, this is a really well-designed and truly functional tool that most home gardeners will use from early Spring to late Fall every time they plant or till the soil.

Review by Carol L. Moore : Garden cultivator

Excellent product. I found this cultivator very easy to use and wasn't heavy at all. Outstanding battery life on one charge.
