Fits Black & Decker STS-201
The Rino-Tuff Electric Hybrid Trimmer Head arrived very quickly and was relatively easy to install on my 20V battery-powered Black & Decker STS-201. It fit well (once I figured out how to click the right piece in place). When I gave it a try, the plastic blades worked great for about 4 minutes, but one broke in half when I got too close to a rock. With one blade broken, the whole trimmer vibrated so badly that I had to stop. Also, it drained the battery about 4X faster than normal. I'm not sure why that would be. My second attempt was just as disappointing. I took the blades off and replaced them with 2 pieces of the supplied trimmer string. With a freshly charged battery, I tried it out. The strings cut well, but the battery died again WAY sooner than it does with the factory installed trimmer head. Not sure why that happens, but it leaves the trimmer all but useless. I think its probably time to invest in a gas-powered trimmer.

Great little tool, just not tough enough. Looks like a simple manufacturing fix
It fits my Riobi Electric trimmer easily and made the edging job super easy for about 30 minutes. This is the second time I purchased the item, even though I had the same experience with the first one (like the other reviewers). It's just so convenient and easy to handle that I really hoped I could get the second one to last longer. At this price I'd be willing to buy a new one every other season or so, but I just can't afford to replace it every time I use it. Too bad!The metal prongs holding the blades in are really close to the sides of the plastic head. So they wear out easy. Seems all it needs is a little reinforcement on the outside of the prongs.

Wear protective gear in case the pieces come flying at you when it falls apart
Lasted about 8 minutes and is dangerous. One blade broke off at its mounting hole, the other was released by its guide pin in the hub coming apart. I couldn't chose zero stars so it got 1.

Broke on the first use
It broke the very 1st time we used it. Would not recommend.

Blades/trimmer strings break very easily when used as an edger
Am I doing something wrong? I tried to use this on my Black and Decker trimmer/edger for edging. The strings lasted a few seconds. Tried the blades for the same purpose. Lasted about as long. In hindsight, this product makes no sense. You get two six inch "strings" to attach. Why would I think they would last as compared to a string that is many feet long and gets cut off bit by bit until it needs to be replaced. Imagine if you installed six inches of string on the spool that comes with the trimmer/edger? How long would this last? I tried it as a trimmer and had better results. But the product is made for is an EDGER as well as a trimmer. I now have an edger/trimmer that will weed wack only. Have to buy another tool. Big mistake.

Not tuff
Got it from home Depot. Pins that hold the blades in broke off after an hour or so of use.
