I acquired this older Black & Decker Hedge trimmer and it seems to have a special kind of cord. Any idea where I could find this cord or what its called? I have not been able to even figure out what the cord looks like yet.

    I tried to pull them out but they don’t seem to move. I’ll try harder if I can’t find a cord. Thanks!

      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.

      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
