- The best lawn edger for the money? (Value) Doc reviews his new gas powered lawn edger. www.howtowithd...
This gas powered lawn edger also has a curb function that Doc really likes. This lawn edger is FAST. It cut our edging time down in half.
Just purchased this edger and have to say that I am thouroghly impressed with the lines it made for me. I was using a old Ryobi electric since November of 1997, lol, so it was definitely time for something new!
Thank You, great review Doc. I am particularly happy to see you concerned about price. Many UA-cam creators review only the high end stuff and report how good it is. Many of us homeowners want good products that are more affordable. Thank You again.
Just ordered the edger. This will be great for my needs. I’m like you. I will probably only run it about 30-40 minutes per use. This will definitely sharpen up my edging game lol. Thanks for bring it to my attention. Love the videos and the recommendations 👍
Hey Doc. Just an update. I’ve had this edger for one year now and this thing is AWSOME. It has not give me one problem. The only thing I’ve had to do is routine maintenance and replace the blade as needed. My edges have been on point ever since it arrived. Thanks again for the recommendation. Hard to believe it’s been a year already. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
There is only one battery powered Edger with excellent reviews, and that's the EGO 56-Volt Edger. With over 5,000 5-star Reviews, it lives up to the hype--love it! No gas, no oil, and no annual maintenance makes it even better. Unfortunately, EGO is like the luxury version of battery-powered lawn equipment, so there stuff isn't cheap!!
Doc I'm 43 and my dad had a Snapper model like this back in the 80's. I used to send sparks flying trying to use that thing as a kid lol. This is an OG edger for sure. I need an edger myself but I think I'm going to get a stick edger. Thanks for the review!
Doc.
My lawn is so thick this green season 2021. It’s so unreal. 😁😅
Thank you very much.
Time to purchase an edger.
I have an older, Craftsman branded version. Looks to be the exact same thing, except its a different engine.
LOVE IT. Odd thing is, pump the primer 4x and it just plain starts. I can have year old gas in it and it runs like a new engine. I'm never getting rid of it. If I needed more room in the garage, I'd start pitching stuff out to make room!
Just bought this during black Friday. Was nervous it wouldn't do the job. Little did I know, Doc had already made a video about it. Thanks
That’s the same damn edger my brother gave us last year! For FREE!! I like mine even though my curbs are sloped and all I have to do is angle the blade and let ‘er roll!!
Super job and it is hard to start 😂
i got the Powermate edition of this edger. Same thing except it's orange from Home Depot. Problem is this duck don't quack! Tech support said they don't really use regular gas very well because of the ethanol, so I siphoned the tank and put that expensive fuel fro HD in. Still no start. After exploring some video reviews of this model, I found someone who confirmed that this is a very hard engine to start. It took him several days to get it to start and much work. And he said it's still hard to start.
Subscribed not because of the edger review (though I did enjoy), but rather I subscribed just because the lawn looks so damn good. Man, I’m jealous.
I have found that edging every time I cut the grass only takes about 2-3 minutes.
Small yard? Or what tool are you using I'm in the market for a edger
Your lawn is better than some 4 or 5 stars resort I've been in 👌
I have an EGO edge with a 5.0 battery. My battery last for about 50 minutes without any issues. Takes me about 20 -25 minutes to edge my lawn every two weeks. Takes 30 minutes for a full charge with the super charger. Bought mine new on Ebay for $145.00
Hey Doc, I put together an Agri-Fab plug aerator last week, 203 parts! Should have been about 1.5 hour job. However, with me being a bit dyslectic when it comes to pictograms, it took me over 3 hours with re-do's! LOL
Have a great day.
I have had Troy built with Brigg Stratton engine, best value for money I have owned for 14 years and runs well. Maybe you could replace engine later, but yours may not be heavy duty.
The one downfall about your edger is it's another big piece of equipment taking up room in the garage.
I own this edger,he’s cutting short fine grass,I cut st Augustine grass and you have to go really slow for it to do a good job.it’s also hard to start.
Call me an*l but one of the things that drives me “crazy” about this type of edger is the stripes left on the sidewalk from the dirt under the tires! Just another thing to wash off (can’t blow those off!!!) to get a really clean “finished” job. Yes, I know I am.... 🤪😎😁
Thanks for a great review though Doc!
I'm with you Brother, mine does the same and drives me nuts! I wind up cleaning the tires several times doing the edging, just to alleviate the tire marks.
I noticed that as well, I was thinking that a pass with the power washer afterwards would clean those up
I bought the edger attachment for my husqvarna string trimmer and it works great and only $64
I like the curb feature.
Curious why the angle on the blade.. I have always ran mine straight.
Yep I paid $700 AUD for a a well known battery powered brand, skin only at $270 AUD but by the time you end buying the battery and charger it was 700. I could have bought a decent petrol edger for that. The one of got is decent enough and has battery power to boot at 36v, but at that price I'd rather the simplicity of a petrol model. Love the videos btw, I have Bermuda here in Australia, or as we call it couch, so your vid's are very helpful.
love the doggy cameo
Guess I'm old school , still love my Briggs and Stratton gas Edger . Mine doesn't have the curb adjustment- I do love that part . It's a pain to do my curb with mine . But I just give $50.00 for mine 10 years ago , I'll live with it .
Thank you for the amazing demonstration but, someone raised a question. He/she said “ where can you store it”. He/she is right, an average household like me has two car garage so where can I put this?
That curb feature alone makes it worth it. Im using a old McLane edger and it lacks that feature. Gotta use a lot of wrist to keep blade contact. Cheers Doc
Does good for walkways but doesn’t do a thing for flower beds and tree circles. The 15 degree bevel is only a straight cut so you gotta still go back with a shovel and remove. It doesn’t throw the dirt out of the trench.
Thanks Doc, I've watched a couple of your videos and enjoy them, you seem relaxed and eager to help people 👍
I recently bought an older McLane edger with a Briggs engine and the original blade was wore down to about 6 inches so I went to Lowes and bought a star shaped blade with a 5/8" hole and I needed one with a 1/2" hole so I also got a 5/8 to 1/2 inch reducer sleeve and welded it to the blade. So far so good, and I also painted and oven baked it with lime green engine enamel (rattle can variety). I didn't want to wait on shipping for a blade with a 1/2" hole and Lowes didn't have any in the length I needed so I went the country boy route, lol.... I'll find out tomorrow how it all goes, fingers crossed.
I have a black and decker electric edger which is just fine. Yes it is a pain to drag cords. I am going to buy an edger attachment for my stihl powerhead.
Hi ,
Great video. Could you please tell me when the Super Juice will be available?
Thanks
I have worked with these before make sure all fillings and dentures are tightly secured lol
Your yard is absolutely gorgeous wonderful job with the edger.
it gives a better cleaning edge and it's good for a lot over. if it's a lot of over growth on the sidewalk Leslie if you get a new house you just first .
You only need to edge a yard like that probably once a year and the rest of the time you use a weed eater at an angle. The reason for that is a weed eater can't cut into the dirt at least not in a timely manner. Those push edgers are a must when you're cutting a lawn that is over grown and or has never been edged before.
They craftsman edger i have must be 35 plus years old - and its the same basic style as the new ones, just with more features and better built.
Doc, the yard looks really sharp. Thanks for posting.
Man, your Bermuda grass is really uniform already. Your Super Juice is working just as you said it would. My Bermuda is still 1/2 brown!
Hey Doc lawn looking great. Had a similar edger for years found it easier just to balance the wheel on the curb rather than put the wheel down upgraded to a Stihl handheld edger
What about the stihl bed redefiner? Same same or different?
I like it that you can adjust it to trim on the street side
This knockoff reminds me of my Craftsman Eagle One, 3.5hp, edger (ancient). Looks and has all the same features. Love it and still does a good job. Thanks for the Vid.
I have the same model, works like a champ
Also, engines can be swapped out... or upgrade with a bit of effort
My dad has the exact same edger and he loves it. Nice video
Great video Doc, thanks. My dad had me taking care of the lawn when I was 13. That was 30 years ago and walk-behind edgers were commonplace. I still have a 25 year-old right-sided blade Pemberton. Do you have any idea why the newer model walk-behinds are only available with the blade on the left side now? It seems counter-intuitive.
Thanks for another good vid, Doc!
Lawn looks awesome, BTW
👍👍
Thats a major disadvantage, but it does wash away after a watering or two.
You should of showed when you did the curbs?&
Another great video! Man that Reel Mower is amazing! I will have to see if you have a recent sprinkler video like this one.
So old school I live on corner property the ego stick edger is amazing light weight easy to use same blade as big edger your lawn looks great good luck
great for home use ,dies real quick if you use t for hours every day...suggest the $399 DR if you cut more than 3 yards a week P.S. most cordless electric edgers are sold without battery so add 150 bucks or more to the cheap advertised price
Can you Please do a New Sod guide or tutorial? We had Tifway 419 installed in our new house at closing, a few days before Christmas 2018. It is starting to green up now, but needed some direction. It hasn't taken root yet, and is mostly weed free, but my neighbors is probably 95% weeds and don't want it infesting my lawn.
I know your webpage said DON'T put pre emergent on new sod, and I don't want to shock the lawn, but was thinking of ordering Super Juice as soon as it's back in stock and putting it down full strength. Other than that, I have a little Nutsedge, but was thinking I could spot treat that with Image Concentrate in a 32oz water bottle and some dye, so I only hit the small problem areas?
Other than that, the lawn hasn't been treated at all for weeds yet, and I really don't have any weeds, but was curious what granule or stuff I should use to strengthen this lawn up as quickly as possible without shocking it.
Love the channel!!
Nice how much cost
Your lawn looks great. OK, bought this edger last yr and find myself not using it because it doesn't handle curved lines well at all. Is it me or the edger? Agree with everything else you mentioned in your video. Any tips?
Buy a Stihl that has changeable heads. You can put an edger, a bush trimmer, and weed wacker on it.
Have all those and more. Needed an edger.
Let me correct you on your "Battery Edger" comment. I have a complete line of battery lawn products. I also work for Samsung EV Battery division. So believe me when I say My 80v Side walk edger "Rocks" it will do both sides of 200ft of side walk on 1 batt. If you want more info let me know. I enjoy your vids, Keep them coming.
You seem to have a fairly nice size property...There’s no way I’d be messing with a stick edger with that size of property.
Your lawn is beautiful!
Beautiful Lawn Doc!!
8:34 you have a beautiful lawn..
What is it?
That’s the nices grass I ever seen👀
Thanks, for sharing. You have a gorgeous looking yard.
I love my battery powered Ego. It easily finishes the job on one battery.
Can you tell me what make this edger is iam looking at a baumr-ag edger I don't know if thy are available in the states
Doc's website shows a price of $219 at Amazon but it's really $248 plus tax. Not much less than at local stores.
What do you use to edge between your planters and the grass? That's where I have a huge problem of grass runners growing into the flower beds. What edger is good for that? I don't like how the string trimmers look.
Used to have one like this. New one cost close to $300. And would take up to much space in garage. Plus noticed how it left tire marks on sidewalk. Im looking for a smaller and lighter. Getting tired of using the weed whacker
Look for a stick edger... I just tired of carrying one with all the edging I do.
My husband has this edger and loves it but I’d having major trouble changing the blade. Has anyone had any luck with this process??
I have the 20 year old version... changing the blade is super easy, just like on a lawnmower. Use a wood block or a heavy glove on your off hand to keep the blade from moving and loosen the nut.
beautiful lawn, what do you use to keep it this way?
BELT LOOKS A LITTLE LOOSE. NO WAY TO PUT TENSION ON IT ? IT'LL ONLY GETS WORSE ONCE IT BREAKS IN.
Whats a good thing to get rid of the clover in my yard, do you have a video on clover and or other weeds... just started following you this week, Doc, think your awesome! Going to do the Doc treatment to my yard this year. Lol
I just use the weed eater its faster and a lot cheaper just takes a little practice
I'll choose an edger any day. I use to use the weed eater to edge but then switched to an edger -- the difference is night and day. It gives a much cleaner, crisp and consistent cut.
Personally speaking, I don't like this type of edger. They're too big and way too expensive. I have a combo system that had attachments for trimming, edging, blowing and others. Works great and takes up very little space since the attachments hang on my shop wall.
Which edger combo are you using??
I have the exact same model you just displayed. I am unable to locate my manual I need too replace my belt that is worn out. Would you have the part number for the belt to this unit? I purchased it a generic belt however, this belt is unsatisfactory. Hope to hear back from you thank you.
I love my 18v Ryobi edger even tho I have to replace the blade every three months
My driveway is not straight and I have some beds with curves and one circular bed. How does this edger handle the curves?
Excellent review! I went about getting one of these backwards - bought one, THEN looked for reviews! But I just assembled it and look forward to trying it out. What are your thoughts on using ethanol free gas?
Good video just earned a new subscriber
What edger is it? Would help if its name were in the title.
Doc Super Juice is a unicorn, it doesn’t really exist
Around April 17th
Good vid Doc. Helps me with purchase considerations. Thanks!~
Thank you Sr. Very much.
Why not a Kombi system and a edger attachment? Yea I have close to 1200 in mine. But String trimmer, pole saw, hedge trimmer, edger
Ive got the km130 motor and the edger is awesome
Nice lawn, looks awesome.
I bought a work x battery weed eater/ edger, it's junk.
What happens if you accidentally went over the sidewalk. Will it damage the blade?
I was thinking about getting your old edger just for my driveway area and little sidewalk, your thoughts on it?
What about the weed whacker attachment
I have an edger similar to this. I love it but hate it. It requires little to no effort on your part, but it's too bulky to edge around beds. The manoeuvrability isn't the greatest.
wow cleans it right up nice job
Could this be used to maintain the edge around flower beds?
No mention of what the name, brand amd model is of the edger
He mentioned several times in the video that it would be in the description and it was
Hello, I just bought this edger and I'm reading some of the reviews on this and it's scary. A lot of reviews about it leaking oil and being very hard to start. Have you experienced any of these issues? Mine is coming tomorrow.
Doc. Apr 2021. How is it holding up?
Did he ever mention the brand?
Use 100% gasoline without any ethanol.. it will plug the carburetor jets esp. idol jet.. it the engine idols ruff.. it is corn crap gas....
Any ideas when super juice will be available again?
I just use the weed whacker and a flat shovel but. Guess I just like to sweat enjoy my youth
Use it or lose it unless it brakes I guess
How well does it work on curves?....
Hi Doc, I have an off topic question?
When will super juice be available on amazon?
now
Senthil Sundaram it’s available now
I really want to buy one but is sold out in Home Depot and amazon can’t deliver this to California 😩
I cannot find the primer on my edger. My son says it doesn’t have one, but I cannot start it
