BLACK+DECKER BCSTA536L1 — frequently asked questions
Does the BCSTA536L1 come as a complete kit?
Yes — it includes a 2.5 Ah battery, charger and spool, so there's nothing extra to buy to get started.
Can it cut brambles?
No — it's a nylon-line grass trimmer, not a brush cutter. For thick or woody growth you need a metal-blade machine.
