Best Option Around – Best Gas Lawn Edger Review
Not so, I tried used the product but went back to the grass hog. Its okay for digging trenches – if that’s all you need it for.
The real test will be how it is working 5 years from now. The Black & Decker LE750 is a very nice machine.
I have seen this model in home improvement stores for much more. Delivered as promised and in perfect condition. The blades on this edge cutter will just crush the grass; it won’t give a fine cut, thus leaving the cut edge weird looking. Gladly returned to Lowes.
The key trick that I found for myself is to lift the right side up, press the trigger, start the blades humming and then slowly sink it at the right spot. This way, the thing holds and doesn’t budge left or right. Light enough to facilitate being hung on a bicycle hook hanger for storage between uses. The first time I used one of these edgers belonged to my son. The pull-up edge guide converts the edger to a landscape trencher. The three-position blade depth adjustment is really important to help you control the cut.
But much to my delight the Edge Hog cut through everything like butter. What I was expecting to take a few weeks took a few hours instead.
It gives a nice separation between the yard and our landscaping border bricks. I’ve only used it a couple of times since purchase but I love it! The edges look clean and it is easy to use. It could use a little more power, but we expected that going in.
By the way, I don’t know what to do with the extra blade that I ordered, because the current one doesn’t seem to be in trouble for a long time to come. Wish you luck. Glad I purchased this product. The first one that we received was defective. I was looking at the electric edgers since I didn’t think I’d be using it that much and frankly using an extension cord is not that big of a deal to me. It’s extremely easy to put together, all you have to do is put two screws in and you’re done.
Purchased to replace 30 year old B & D Edger – easier to use and great for sidewalks (you don’t need to carry it like string trimmers). It was total waste of time and money when I found that it was just not better than an electric toy. There is a height adjustment for the trenching level of the blade but that’s useless. This is a powerful easy to use edger.
My only concern is how well it will hold up over time. Windshield Chip Repair Cost.
