Avoid this GL720 strimmer at all costs. After a few hours of use the drive belt broke and melted the plastic drive cog inside. Unable to get spare parts. This machine has ended up in the bin where it belongs. Poor Product from Black & Decker. I'm now away to buy a Flymo.

The Black and Decker GL720 is useless - drive gone after limited use.
Plastic melted on drive gear and cannot get spares.

Externally the Black and Decker GL720 appears to be a good design but failed after less than 4 hours use. Belt failed, melted drive cog assembly, not easy to locate fixing screw under label.

The GL720 looks neat and is easy to use but it is not robust enough for such a brand and price.
