In this video I talk about how to use the BLACK+DECKER String Trimmer with Auto Feed, Electric, 6.5-Amp, 14-Inch (BESTA510). This is the Corded model. As of now, it is one of the best selling corded grass string trimmer & edger combos on Amazon. I talk about how it looks coming out of the box, how to put it together, the power, the edging feature, how to shorten or extend the shaft, how to replace the string trimming line, why you may want to get a corded electric model over a battery powered or gas model and whether I would recommend this myself. I also show it in use on my front walkway and how it does cutting tall grass and weeds.

Nice video, thanks. Had the B+D 18V 2.0Ah 28cm AFS grass trimmer. It served me well for a few years. Needed more power with battery so moved on to another brand, but no one can beat B+D in its affordable gardening tools. They give good usable products for the price.

My first weed trimmer was Black and Decker and I still have it. My new weed trimmer has more power and I can control the line easier so for trimming it is the one I use but it doesn't have that wheel for edging so I use the B&D for edging. This weed trimmer looks to be a good entry level model I would recomend going with a battery powered weed trimmer than a corded one, it isn't impossible to accidently get the trimmer line to come into contact with the extension cord.

Since this is a corded version, it would have been nice if you would have mentioned what gauge extension cord you need. My understanding that is if you go over 50 ft you need 14 gauge but if you're 50 ft or less you can use 16 gauge. Otherwise an outstanding video. The biggest issue with all these trimmers seems to be line feed problems.

@jamminjamy Ай бұрын

Thanks! This is a really good point and I appreciate you bringing it up! I believe you are correct, since this is a 6.5amp tool if you go over 50 ft you should use a 14 gauge extension cord, if you go over 100 feet you should use 12 gauge, and if you are under 50 ft then 16 gauge is ok according to this website: support.blackanddecker.com/hc/en-us/articles/360057225571-What-extension-cord-should-I-use-for-my-outdoor-power-tool Thanks again for pointing this out :)

Yeah, let us know how it works out for you! I feel like if the trimmer line is wound properly (in case you do it yourself) you should be ok. If you buy the pre-wound coils that could help and the reviews seem to be decent.

@liliahoward671 Ай бұрын

Your video is so far the complete guide but the guard doesn’t go all the way so I put the screw on the big hole instead of the hole where it’s suppose to go, I think it will be ok? Thanks for your instruction👍

@jamminjamy Ай бұрын

The guard should snap into place. You may need to give it a couple firm taps with your palm... you can kind of see me doing it in the video here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i9N1q9adt9OtgJc.htmlsi=gZacHCj0KKROm4Qa&t=71

How do you take the guard off? Mine gets in the way of view when i want to do lawn edging

@jamminjamy 24 күн бұрын

You just need to unscrew the guard screw and then slide it off. You may need a flathead screw driver to release it. It would be the reverse order of what I talk about here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i9N1q9adt9OtgJc.htmlsi=Wb7Rsf1nTZNXExIC&t=65

You can see the cutting in action at the end of the video here, it cuts pretty well. It may not look like it at times since the guard pushes the taller grass away before it gets cut: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i9N1q9adt9OtgJc.htmlsi=EEVL_uDDviwd4zWK&t=506

We had the older version of this model years ago and it died within a year. Black and decker are the craftsman of cheaper tools. Somehow worse than craftsman.

@jamminjamy 2 ай бұрын

Thanks for letting us know of your experience with the older model. This performed well with my testing but it's hard to tell what the longevity will be. The reviews on Amazon have been mostly positive. I appreciate you leaving a comment. What brand do you use right now? And is it a corded model, battery powered, or gas?
