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.

UPDATE: I cut off the extra plastic to get access to plug it in and the tool doesn't even work anyways. Time for the garbage.

Isn't that just a normal North America plug? Most lawn equipment was set up to use standard extension cords so that cables didn't have to be unique.

No, it is just different enough that a regular socket won'tly fit. It is close enough that the special cord can be used for other things.
