Title: Black & Decker Trimmer - defective design
Review: I was unable to complete my first trimming job, as the trimmer stopped working.This is my second, and LAST, Black & Decker trimmer.The design of the line feeding mechanism is defective. In their smaller model it is a small plastic swivelling piece which wears out.Apparently recognizing this, in the 7.2 amp version, the plastic knob has a thin metal jacket which, at some point, must have come off, since the small plastic knob on the mechanism has once again sheared off, preventing the line from feeding. Making the entire (small) piece out of metal would solve this problem.I would never consider buying this product again. The 10 cent piece that wears out is not replaceable. UGH.I also had a problem with the cap coming off and flying across the street into my neighbor's yard, where it landed next to their infant.
