Comment on How do I plug this in? Old Black & Decker Hedge Trimmer.

  Looking at it I’ll tell ya right now that’s a proprietary slot right over that plug

  Dremel it out and any normal cord will work, that’s anti-consumer bullshit

    Thanks this is what I did and it’s a good thing too since the tool doesn’t even work. Cut off the extra plastic plugged it in and nothing. 😀

  I wouldn’t pull too hard as it might just be a proprietary slot like the other user said. The plastic around the plug looks like it could be easily ground off with a dremel tool and allow you to use a normal extension cord.
