Delivering long battery life and power to tackle trimming and edging tasks, the Black & Decker LST420 High Performance Trimmer and Edger offers the freedom of cordless convenience and extended runtime. The LST420 features a new dual-mode switch, giving you the option to choose between high power or extended run time. You’ll get up to one hour of runtime1 for trimming large yards without the hassles of gas-powered trimmer/edgers.

B00HXCPC6K-LST420-trimmingPatented PowerDrive Transmission prevents bogging down in heavy grass and weeds (view larger).

Ideal for trimming areas of overgrowth after mowing and edging along borders, sidewalks and flower beds, the LST420 is quiet and easy to start. The adjustable height and pivoting handle positions provide maximum comfort and control.

Runtime Extension Technology

Black & Decker’s Extended Runtime Technology features electronics that allow this trimmer/edger to maintain constant speed in a variety of grass conditions so the it runs at an efficient speed for extended battery life. In high-power mode, the LST420 ramps up the power output to quickly take down heavy grass and weeds. In runtime mode, the trimmer/edger provides up to one hour of runtime for normal trimming.

The LST420 comes with two 2.0 amp-hour lithium-ion batteries (model LBXR2020), which offers 33 percent more runtime per battery pack than the previous LBXR20 pack.

Trim in Comfort

Easy to start and quiet to operate, the LST420 cordless trimmer/edger weighs 5.7 pounds. Plus, it’s fully adjustable so you can work at the ideal height, with pivoting handle positions to trim at odd angles in comfort and a telescoping pole that easily adjusts to a your preferred length.

This cordless trimmer/edger also features Black & Decker’s PowerDrive Transmission, which delivers consistent power in most grass types, helping to maintain cutting performance while trimming and edging in heavy grass or weeds. That ultra-efficient performance plus a generous 12-inch cutting swath help every job go faster.

Smooth Operation with Fewer Stops and Starts

With the LST420, you never have to bump to release the string or waste time continually adjusting the string spool. The Black & Decker Automatic Feed Spool keeps the string at the optimal length automatically and continuously. The LST420 also converts from trimmer to an edger in seconds. A wheeled edge guide has been added for balance, helping to eliminate the need to hover the trimmer/edger over the line of grass between the lawn and sidewalk while edging. Simply roll along the sidewalk or driveway, and the wheel supports the weight of the trimmer/edger for a fine edge and straight, clean edges.

Cordless Freedom

Black & Decker’s 20-volt MAX lithium-ion batteries2 offer a longer lifespan and retains its charge 5x longer than similar 18-volt NiCad batteries. They’re compatible with the full line of Black & Decker’s 20-volt MAX line of power and gardening tools, and you won’t be limited by an extension cord.

Easy to use and maneuver, the battery-powered timmer and edger eliminates the need for gas or oil to be stored.

Overall very satisfied It’s a great trimmer for people such as I who have a somewhat small lawn . It’s power is good for it being one string in oppose to other two string edgers. If you’re looking into have a good electric edger and not spending more this one is for you. I also recommend to use number 1 power . There’s a option of choosing 1 or 2 , 2 is of course powerful but drains the battery. I just cut my edges with the 2 and my battery drained just when I was about done . With the 1 set on I never drained my…

Nice cordless weedeater (and combo edger). I would have given it 5 stars if it would have run an hour on the two 20V batteries This Black & Decker LST420 trimmer / edger is part of the 20V Max tool system that uses the same line of rechargeable 20 volt batteries. It is a nice cordless trimmer with 2 power settings. The trimmer can be rotated so that it performs as an edger (which allows the orange wheel at the bottom of the trimmer to be rolled along a flat surface). As an edger it seemed to be adequate, although I admit that I rarely do edging. It was really good not having to drag an extension cord all over the yard…

Not as powerful as the 40 volt but still gets the job done I recently purchased a B&D 40 volt lithium trimmer and then was offered this via the Vine program. Since we have a 2nd property, I jumped at the opportunity to try this one out. As might be expected, it isn’t quite as powerful as the 40 volt version but otherwise, is very similar in function, weight and appearance. I should also add, I’ve been putting the 40 volt to the paces and have been impressed by what it manages to handle. My first day out, I used it to trim everything between a bunch of…
