BLACK+DECKER Cordless Shrub Trimmer and Grass Shear Combo GSL35 3.6V — 6-inch/4-inch blades, lightweight 1.4 lb

The BLACK+DECKER GSL35 is a cordless 3.6V shrub trimmer and grass shear combo that swaps between a 6-inch blade for bushes and a 4-inch blade for precision grass edging, delivering lightweight, low-emission trimming for lawns and ornamental plants.

Designed for quick yard touch-ups, the GSL35 combines two steel blades and a compact battery pack to handle small hedges, detailed pruning, and grass trimming around borders. At roughly 1.4 pounds and with a soft-grip handle, this tool emphasizes comfort and control for short maintenance tasks. An LED charge indicator and long storage charge retention make it a convenient grab-and-go option for homeowners who want neat edges without the weight or fumes of larger equipment.

How does this combo handle both shrubs and grass?

The GSL35 ships with two interchangeable steel blades engineered for different tasks: a 6-inch blade optimized for lightweight shrub shaping and a 4-inch blade built for close grass trimming. Swapping blades is straightforward, letting you switch from edging flower beds to tidying small hedges in the same session without bulky gear.
