    I put a diamond blade on my Mclane edger and had a buddy keep it wet with the hose, and used it to cut concrete. The engine is the 2 hp Briggs and it worked. These edges are durable. Good video. Didn't know they now use Honda motors on the Mclane edges.

I do also like the Power Trim 308H Edger the large single front wheel does give you more balance & control on curbs but the McLane still my 1st choice 👍

      Yes you can. It takes a little practice because the wheels ride on grass and not concrete so you have to really watch where that blade is going. I generally lift up the back wheels so I can keep it steering in the right spot as I go over the uneven grass. It makes a very nice clean cut edge.

    I bought a McLane Edger with a blown engine for $40 I went to Harbour Freight and purchased a 3hp Predator for $99 dollars and its been a workhorse of mine on larger lawns. This Summer though I noticed the cutterhead for the blade the threads are starting to strip. I guess I will spend another $68 dollars on the cutterhead and keep on using it for large jobs.
