I guess I'm partly just remembering the atrocious cordless screwdriver my shop had when I was in the military. It worked really well for about ten minutes...and then became completely useless. I belive we had a drill that wasn't much better. I've been very skeptical when it comes to cordless things ever since.

On the other hand, one of my brother works in assembly and uses cordless tools, and he's tried to convince me they're much better now! I may try to find some user reviews on that model, but if it sounds like it won't do the job, I don't wanna waste my money. I'm talking about a tiny yard, so I would THINK it would be enough, but I don't want to risk it if it's likely to have less and less power time as it gets older.

The life of the batteries may dwindle over time, and you might have to replace batteries.

I have an electric trimmer I would give you if you were just down the street.

SSQ loves cordless tools! He has a DeWalt Cordless Drill that he uses ALL the time! The power packs have gotten better, and hold charges longer than they used to.

A cordless one sounds like it would be good for you. Like Hair said, go to the store and pick up a few to see how they feel.
