I grew up in a neighborhood where no one ever edged. The grass (mostly weeds) hung over on the sidewalk and you never saw the edge of the sidewalk. Many years later I rented out the house I grew up in. I bought a used B&D Edge Hog and did the first edging ever. It wouldn't work at first and required me to use a flat-edged shovel to chop the overgrowth off. After that, edging was very easy for the Edge Hog. It looked so good, the neighbors took notice and within a few weeks they all started edging too. What a visual difference !

In many videos during the time they are speaking they also play music; often the same volume as the presenter. For those of us with hearing difficulties we find it a challenge understanding the presenter. Sir, I tip my hat to you, and your video; thank you for sharing.

Thank you! Blades are now $11.00 for 7.5” X 2”. Just got an edger on marketplace for $20. The old blade was 2” short. Never changed from new I guess. I don’t weed wack the edges. I cut my yard at 3” and Wacker cuts too much off and that’s why I wanted a edger. New blades on mower did great.
@thepiecesfit50496 жыл бұрын
Picked this up based on your recommendation. It is really easy to get a clean edge. I tried to do it with the string trimmer and it was really tough to do cleanly. I will still use a string trimmer for trimming weeds and grass near fencing or trees. But this is perfect and affordable. The only complaint if any is that the Black and Decker is pretty light sometimes i lean into it a bit around curved sidewalks.

I fully realize this video has aged a couple years, but I was using the same model successfully for the past 5 or 6 years. I recently, however, invested in a few Greenworks Pro tools that utilize the 60v Max battery system. Their 60v edger surprised me by doing as well as or maybe even better than the B&D model. I have about 160’ of curb to edge as well as about 60’ up one side of the driveway and 50’ down the other side. A single 2.0 amp hour battery can easily edge all that length on a single charge. No more dragging cords around. Thanks for the channel - really enjoy seeing your techniques as well as the new products from time to time.

It's wild to think that people in Australia,... if I could see through the earth, you'd be doing your mowing and trimming and edging upside down! (Or at least at a very steep angle somewhat underneath us, here in the USA). Of course, come to think of it, WE in the US (including me in Texas) would be "down under!" For instance, when I mowed my lawn today, if the earth were glass and my voiceover client in Sydney Australia could see me mowing my grass here in Garland Texas, I would be down under THEM!!!

I let my wife talk me into getting rid of my Edge Hog and get a B&W cordless string edger / trimmer. Big mistake. The thing uses up nylon string like it's going out of style, plus, I go through two charged batteries each time. That's a drag. I have a corner lot in a subdivision so there's a fair amount of area to trim, along with edging along the curb. Get that corded Edge Hog with a blade. Dragging an extension cord behind you is no big deal, and do it every two weeks, not once a year. It'll go quick and easy. Good video, Ryan Knorr.

I used to have one of these electric ones. I now have the PAS echo with an edger attachment. The only downside of these electric ones is the first time on overgrown edges, it lacks power. You end up "stabbing" back and forth to get through. Once you've edged once and keep up on it they're great. Also, as cheap as the electric ones can be, the proper guage cord and the length needed is expensive. Sometimes can more than double the cost of the machine. If you have other plug in tools, then you can divide the cord cost among the other tool(s). But since getting the echo PAS, I can't think of going back. Yes the edge depth on this electric is nice, but once you edge a few times with the gas one, you get the ability to depth the blade right, and it's more agile on curves and especially garden beds and things like that. But just starting, nothing wrong with electrics. Maybe the machines of today are stronger than the one I had 25-30 years ago too though

We purchased the LE750 Edger and Trencher. So far I'm not really happy with it. I wish my old edger had not broke. LE750 does not seem to follow the concrete edge. I have it on the correct guide, and I end up holding our left hand down farther on the pole to put pressure on it to try and get it to cut straight. The top T handle does not appear to line up straight with the handle either. I've used it twice and still not sure it is a keeper. I either end up with a ton of sparks from hitting the concrete or a 2" gap cut off from the concrete.
