The GLC1825L model is equipped with an 18V lithium-ion battery that ensures extended runtime and quick charging. Its powerful motor delivers sufficient torque to tackle thick grass and overgrowth, making it suitable for various terrains. The adjustable cutting width, which can be set at either 25 cm or 30 cm, allows users to adapt the tool to their specific trimming requirements.

The easy-to-use spool replacement system makes it convenient for users, further enhancing the overall experience.

Another key characteristic of the Black & Decker GLC series is their ergonomic design.
