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.

If you have a standard-sized residential lawn with minimal edging requirements, you don’t necessarily need to spend a ton of money on a powered edger. However, there comes a time when sharpening won’t help, and the only viable solution is to replace the blade. But, how do you determine when to replace the lawn edger blade? Worry less. In this article, you will understand when not to sharpen but rather replace the lawn edger blade. What to do Before Sharpening Your Lawn Edger Blade The edger is made with a traditional half-moon-shaped blade, with a tread plate for your foot to rest on. However, this foot rest isn’t the biggest we’ve seen, so you might find it a bit small if you have larger feet. If you need a standard moon-shaped edger, we recommend this version of the Radius edger. There is no v-shaped blade, but it still is super effective at cutting through sod and grass. Why We Like It

True Temper half moon edger

Electric lawn edgers are great for a small lawn but can still produce a lot of power to make your work easy.

stroke lawn edgers are noisier with more moving parts. They’re therefore less powerful although lighter and easier to push. Footplate: Again, a steel footplate is where it’s at, but you also want to look for non-slip features. Overall, however, durability in your foothold is important. Injury can be the result of a broken footplate. What’s more, you should look for a wide ledge so you can step down hard with confidence. Longer shafts are more suitable for tall landscapers. It’s best if an edger tops off around your waist, as this enables you to leverage the greatest proportion of your body weight.Makita DUR181Z has a safety catch that you can disengage using your thumb to pull the trigger for an easy start. It comes with single line nylon cord with a bump and feed mechanism. So, you need to simply bump its metal feed against the ground. The Yard Butler Step Edger Manual Steel is yet another traditional landscaping tool with a few modern improvements. This edger has a super wide 180-degree rounded blade. It offers a whopping 9 inches of ground coverage. Keep in mind that gas-powered edgers are fairly pricey compared to electric and manual edgers but achieve great efficiency in trimming lawn edges. However, they also have high maintenance needs in terms of servicing and powering. 2-cycle vs 4 cycle engine edgers Gas lawn edgers measure the power output in horsepower and the engine size in cubic centimeters. Typically, the higher the hp and cc, the more powerful the engine, creating significant differences in efficiency and cost, depending on the product. Professional-grade 2-cycle engine equipped with easy-start system reduces starting effort and boosts durability

Rotary edgers have a long wooden shaft that attaches to a cutting wheel. The tool looks like a pole with a spiked wheel on the end. They work by applying pressure to the cutting wheel and rolling it along the edge of the lawn to cut through the overextended turf. You need a good-performing lawn edger to achieve an immaculate garden with clear boundaries between your lawn and garden features such as driveways, patios, and flowerbeds. It must be sharp for the edger to perform excellently and create smooth lines. For both DIY landscaping and professional lawn edging, the Craftsman E405 lawn edger is a machine I’ve reviewed heavily and would highly recommend especially for one major reason – the 9-inch steel blade with dual tips. This blade produces neat, straight edges even if the edges of your lawn are overgrown with tough turfgrass. The adjustable blade heightsalso make it possible to produce even deep edges. Our courier will send you a 1-hour delivery window on the day of delivery and you have the option to change this if required at no extra charge or you can also let the courier know that you want the parcel left in a safe place. And then there is the star-shape blade, which is the most common. Not only are they good for edging, but they also work well for aeration and digging drainage channels around raised garden beds.

Best Gas-Powered Lawn Edger

The best way of sharpening manual lawn edgers or landscaping edgers that look like shovels is by using an electric grinder. While a lightweight manual edging tool moves on nothing more than the user’s guidance, the weight of an engine typically requires three or four wheels to cover a property without causing strain to the operator. The rear wheels are responsible for moving the entire unit along, while a guide wheel keeps the blade aligned with the task at hand. We found that the Fiskars 38.5-inch shaft was the perfect height for the average-sized adult. We also felt that the blade was securely attached to the shaft, giving us no reason to worry about it breaking. The McLane walk-behind lawn edger draws considerable power from its 127cc gas engine with a maximum power output of 3.5 horsepower (hp). It easily powers through unbroken soil to redefine or create new edge lines. However, the powerful gas engine does increase the weight of the tool to 66 pounds, which may be too heavy for some users. To help manage the weight of the machine, it is built on a heavy-duty frame with four 7-inch wheels to balance and support the gas-powered lawn edger. While the answer to this is typically no (unless you want to spend a considerable amount of time digging) technically creating an edge around your lawn is, in fact, creating a trench; albeit a shallow one.
