Truper 35195 Rotary Lawn Edger with Dual Wheel - Fiberglass Handle with Non Slip Grip, 48 Inch

Product Information

This tool makes clean and consistent edges thanks to the center step plate. The T-handle is also cushioned and provides greater control. The whole tool is powder-coated steel and resists rust and corrosion. You also have a saw-tooth blade to help rip through tough grass and roots. Admittedly, by the time we tested this edger, the lawn edges were well defined and only needed routine maintenance. It only took about 5 minutes to edge both sides of a 70-foot-long driveway. We would expect slower and maybe less perfect results if we were starting with overgrown edges, but with established edges, this manual tool made for easy upkeep. To help you choose the best one, we have put together a guide of the eight best manual lawn trimmers on the market today. Gas-powered lawn edgers, available with a 2- or 4-cycle engine, boast considerable power and are better suited for larger yards. While 2-cycle engines are more common, users must replenish fuel and oil. They are far less environmentally conscious than 4-cycle engines, which run clean but cost and weigh more.

Choose a suitable lawn edger that meets your preferences and needs for yard work. This can include a battery-powered edger, a gas lawn edger, a corded-electric lawn edger, and a manual lawn edger. From my own use and review, the WORX WG896 electric lawn edger produces clean, professional-looking lawn edges, thanks to the line indicator on top of the edging unit. This always guides you on the cutting line while you move the little machine along the edges of your driveway, walkways, and flower beds.To always ensure your lawn edger blades are sharp, use the techniques discussed in this article to sharpen your lawn edger blade. You can use an angle grinder, sharpening file, or electric grinder. This edger is great especially for producing deep and more defined lines along with your lawn because of the 7.5-inch blade. I also liked it because with 12 amp power output and weighing just 12lbs, this WORX WG896 lawn edger is powerful yet lightweight, making it easy to maneuver even where you want to draw rounded edges. Weight: Weight can make a big difference with a manual tool. Keep the overall weight in mind when purchasing. The difference in a few pounds can make a big difference in the labor you have to use. The DeWalt battery edger kit features an efficient brushless powerhead run by an included 60-volt MAX 3.0-amp-hour (Ah) battery. The powerhead is compatible with universal attachments, like a string trimmer, brush cutter, hedge trimmer, and others (sold separately). This kit includes the lawn edger attachment with a curved-shaft 7.5-inch hardened steel blade, a heavy-duty plastic debris shield, and adjustable guide wheel. The variable-speed safety trigger and high/low power switch allow you to control power output for optimal battery life. AMES took saw teeth and added them to a manual edger blade for a highly effective moon-shaped edging tool. Why We Like It

Another creative design comes in the form of the Radius Garden 206 PRO Ergonomic Stainless Steel Edger. The Radius’s most notable feature is its bold O-shaped handle. The line trimmer arrives in separate parts, but you can easily assemble them using a screwdriver (Philips). Its total weight is 2.5 kg. The tool is marginally lightweight than other models. Still, due to a robust built, it feels solid and trustworthy. It has a steel shaft that measures around 35 inches from the ground. The shaft is extremely durable thanks to its steel-welded joints. Its hip-level height is ideal for most adults. However, it might be a bit cumbersome for large individuals. Construction – Whether a manual or electric lawn edger, you’ll want to choose one that feels solid and well constructed. Make sure it isn’t flimsy or wobbly and, if it requires assembly before use, read the instructions carefully when putting it together. There are many different types of edging to choose from, from simple shaped pieces to more elaborate materials. Which one is right for you depends on your budget, needs, and climate.

This Worx corded electric lawn edger weighs less than the other corded electric models we tested. Unlike those others, it trenched beds fairly well for landscape bed renovation, but it probably should not be used extensively for new bed construction. The handle and controls felt comfortable for extended use. Key details – Size: Overall length 90cm, tool head width 21.5cm; Materials: Stainless steel blade, ash handle; Weight: 0.76kg

Electric – These edgers are usually marketed as grass trimmers. You’ll find cordless battery-powered versions, as well as corded tools for larger areas. Cordless edgers will be powerful enough for most average-sized gardens.

While there’s not much to dislike about the Yard Butler, many customers recommend having it professionally sharpened. This can be done inexpensively at most hardware stores. Pros The runtime on a single tank of fuel (1.5 hours) outperformed all of the battery-powered edgers we tested. That said, the potential for engine damage from stale fuel is real. Our test was on a large suburban lot with a long driveway, patio, walkout basement slab, and numerous landscape beds—an ideal scenario for a gas edger. Those with only a limited amount of lawn edging might be better off without mixing and storing gasoline. But for the widest range of adaptability and top-end user comfort, it’s hard to beat this edger. So, apart from just edging, you’ll find this landscaping tool handy when digging trenches in your yard for planting bushes, installing outdoor lighting, and laying wires in your yard a much easier task to do. For commercial lawn care and edging, go for a 4-stroke lawn edger because it can handle long hours of use and produce great results consistently. You’ll, however, need to contend with regular maintenance.
