Black & Decker GT100 Information The Black & Decker GT100 is a 400-watt electric hedge trimmer that is designed for light-duty trimming and shaping of hedges and shrubs. It features a 42 cm (16.5 in) double-action blade that provides a smooth, even cut. The blade is also asymmetrical, which helps to reduce vibration and fatigue. The GT100 has a number of safety features, including a double-action trigger switch, a blade brake, and a cable lock. The trigger switch requires both hands to be used, which helps to prevent accidental starts. The blade brake stops the blade within 1 second of the trigger being released. The cable lock prevents the tool from starting if the cable is accidentally pulled out. The GT100 is lightweight and easy to use. It weighs just 2.3 kg (5.1 lb), making it easy to maneuver around bushes and shrubs. The handle is also ergonomically designed to provide a comfortable grip.
