And for optimum control of all that power, PowerCommandTMenables users to select between two cutting modes. Normal mode maximizes battery runtime, while Boost mode delivers twice the cutting power of leading 18-volt string trimmers.Versatile, Comfortable, and Easy to UseThe adjustable aluminum shaft and soft no-slip grip areas make the NST1024 comfortable to use.

Unlike gas-powered engines that produce a total of over one million tons of polluting air emissions a year, the NST1024 releases zero harmful emissions when cutting. In addition, its charging system is Energy Star certified.As an added bonus, the NST1024 is much lighter, starts easier, and has lower operating costs than traditional gas-powered models. It is backed by a two-year warranty and 30-day risk-free trial.About Black & Decker: Nearly a Century of InnovationAs a global manufacturer and marketer of power tools and accessories, hardware and home improvement products, and technology-based fastening systems, Black & Decker has established a reputation for product innovation, high-quality, durable design, and value.
