BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX Cordless 12" String Trimmer & Wheeled Edger — 2 Batteries, EASYFEED, 2-Speed

The BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX LSTE525 is a cordless 12-inch convertible trimmer and wheeled edger that includes two batteries, a charger, and EASYFEED line advance for uninterrupted cutting.

Compact yet powerful, this cordless string trimmer is built to handle regular lawn maintenance without the bulk of gas equipment. It combines a 12-inch cutting swath, a PowerDrive transmission for extra torque at the line, and a two-speed trigger to balance runtime and cutting power. The unit converts easily from a handheld trimmer to a wheeled edger, and the included second battery doubles typical runtime so you can finish larger yards on a single outing.

How does the EASYFEED line system simplify trimming?

EASYFEED advances replacement line at the push of a button so you avoid bumping the spool and stopping repeatedly. That means smoother operation, fewer interruptions, and less fuss when managing line length.

• Button-activated line feed—no bumping required
• Consistent line length for even cutting
• Faster restarts during tasks compared with manual bump heads

Will two batteries really extend runtime for bigger jobs?

Yes—the kit ships with two 20V MAX batteries and a charger so you can alternate packs and maintain continuous work. Using the lower speed setting further stretches battery life when you don’t need maximum torque.

• Two batteries included for doubled available run time
• Charger provided to top off packs between uses
• Two-speed control to prioritize power or efficiency

Can the trimmer handle thick overgrowth and edging tasks?

With PowerDrive transmission and a 12-inch cutting swath, the LSTE525 supplies extra torque at the string for tougher grass and light overgrowth. The design converts to a wheeled edger so you get a clean border without a separate tool.

• PowerDrive increases torque for better cutting force at the line
• Convertible trimmer-to-edger mode for precise borders
• 12-inch cutting width balances maneuverability and coverage

How comfortable and adjustable is the tool for regular use?

BLACK+DECKER engineered the LSTE525 with an adjustable height and a soft, premium micro-texture grip to reduce fatigue during extended use. The handle positioning and balanced weight distribution make it easier to guide around beds, walkways, and fences.

• Adjustable shaft height to fit different users
• Premium soft-grip handle improves control and comfort
• Lightweight cordless design for easier maneuvering

Who this is for: Homeowners with small to medium yards who want a fuss-free, battery-powered trimmer that converts to an edger. It suits users who value ease of use—thanks to EASYFEED—plus the convenience of two included batteries for longer work sessions. If you already use BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX tools, this unit integrates seamlessly into that battery system for shared power and simplified maintenance.
