can this be used to cut down weeds and small brush

Yes!!, but be careful not to hit rocks or anything that is too big for the teeth or it will nick them and then need to be filed and sharpened.

While it may cut weeds and brush and a variety of other things it's really a hedge trimmer and designed just for hedges. I can't see any practical reason to need the various features like the extension or angle for anything other than a tall hedge. It is perfect because I can keep a 10'+ high hedge trimmed without a ladder.

Most definitely, but you probably need to go slowly if the diameter of the bush is beyond 1/2 and inch.

It can but it's really a hedge trimmer. Weeds might get caught up between the blades thus slowing your progress. A string trimmer would work better on weeds but I believe this unit would suffice .

This unit will take down tall weeds, no problem. I'd bet that the bramble will be cut easily as well. I am very pleased with this weed eater especially it's power.

I use this for patio and walks but have a back-pack gasoline blower for grass. Unless you have a very small grass area, I wouldn't bother with the Black and Decker. Although it's so much more convenient for the hard surfaces, it's very slow on grass. I think a rake is faster.

Absolutely, just put a pruning blade in it. I do it all the time on my farm. Goes through small limbs easily

my husband uses it forpicking up grass clipping and any bits of paper,etc. that is on the ground.its not meant for large objects.

Yes, you could use it for it but only if the blades of the pruning shears are as thin as a chef's knife.

Technically it probably could since it can do some cutting tasks but I would not recommend it. There are other tools much better suited to that job - like a coping saw.

I think it would be good but have not tried that yet I only used it on weeds so far and it works good for that.

No you cannot. This is a different type of trimmer that cannot be used as an edger. The primary use of this type of yard equipment is for weed whacking tall thick grass and weed with at least 1/4" branch. However you can buy this combo trimmer/edger.

I've used it for small bushes. It works fine. Just try to keep it out of the real tiny limbs as this will sometimes knock the chain off.

Not well at all. Dry grass is optimal. Tall standing weeds it has a problem cutting

This is really a lightweight unit designed for small yards. It does a decent job with small amounts of leaves although I have not used it yet or grass clipping,I doubt that it would be able to used in a sizable way for yard clippings unless the area was very small. Up north we have not yet had to cut the grass yet. When we do...I can try it and let you know.

The 9 inch blade work well for all brush and large weeds, small trees also.

You could use it to cut your head hair, if you don't have much hair... this is a small trimmer, remember.

For sure...I use it on my palm trees, which look like much bigger stalks than the summer sweet bush.The blade is only 5 or 6 inches so it's not a sweeping hedge trimmer, rather an individual branch trimmer. Good luck.

Yes, but it is too large for this type of use. It was designed to be used primarily on grass, but with a little extra care, it should do the job. Keep it sharp!
