i love my black and decker trimmer, i can cut thru brush so fast, but its not the best for shaping.
should i use a mitt held one for shaping before or after and still use my electric one?

thankfulness!
Answers:    The gas trimmer or battery trimmer will facilitate walking around freely. I am other wrestling with my power cord.
depends what im using it for. for a massive overgrowth, a trimmer is great. for purely snipping here and there pruners or shears are the best tool
