This handy little guy works off of a rechargeable battery (woot woot, no cords) and comes with two blades that you can swap in without even breaking out the screwdriver (woot woot, no tools). So whether you’ve gotta show your overgrown shrubs who’s boss or need to bring the smack down on some border grass, here’s your new weapon.

  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • ELIGIBILITY: This bad boy ships to the US only.

    WOOOOOOOOT yeah! I need mad SKILZ, John!

    One of the main skills that I need is a sense of balance. Heck.. I scream and freak out when cross country skiing on weenie hills. I can trip on my own two feet. =)

    I NEED SKILLS and I apparently need to learn to delegate. So says my Principal. I personally would like to learn to bake the most fantastic melt in your mouth, moist cakes and of course dominate the field of dog training. Victoria Stilwell is my hero, and now I’m off topic.
