- Kobalt electric lawn edger. Unboxing and use.
In this video, I unbox and assemble the Kobalt 40V lawn edger. Pretty nice tool.
It does not come with a battery or charger: amzn.to/3EbLFbB
4 AH battery on Amazon: amzn.to/3o8IcF7

I sharpened my blade. After that it was like cutting through butter.
You can make your own blades w 1/8” x 2” mild steel. I made a ton of em at work for the guys
Purchased the Kobalt 40v edger, thanks to this informative video.
Sorry, it's a piece of crap.
Thank you for this. I do have several Kolkat battery operated items. Just recently thought about purchasing this one. Your video was my deciding factor. I love the brand.
Mine came with a guide plate attached that makes it impossible to use. The guide plate extends beyond the wheel. Even if adjusted, the wheel can't be positioned to cut/edge anything.
did you leave a review on lowes about this? did you ever fix the issues?
Hate to tell you this brah but I just bought the same damn edger and for whatever STUPID ASS REASON, they welded a FUCKING METAL PLATE to the plate where the wheel is attached which- like you said, makes it impossible to use.
I had to go to Loews and buy a grinder just to cut the extra plating off. You have to take the wheel off also FYI.
Good luck...
Okay I thought it was just me. It makes it impossible to use like you said. I kept wondering what I was doing wrong. Everyone was just guiding it along calmly and i was lost on what I was doing wrong.
I have the exact same edger. It really has one functional purpose: Edge along concrete driveways and walkways. I found its is not well suited for edging lawns when compared to string edger. My lawn edger has a slight angle to it (about 30 degree) and this edger has no way to adjust the blade cutting angle, it is limited to a vertical cut. You can lean it to get an angle, but is not as effective as string edger nor as easy to use if you want cut at an angle.
Wow great review and presentation i just wish they made it gear drive instead of direct drive motor gear drive has more torque and less strain to the motor its torque that you need to dig in in dirt mowing is different you need blade speed to whack the grass. Its amazing it did that much work for only 2.5ah a testament to the efficiency of a brushless motor.
Thanks for sharing. I just bought the same one and was wondering if I assembled it properly and used it properly.
I don't blame you for not edging that long a*s driveway. Ain't trying to walk a mile edging. I've been looking at this edger for a few years now. Still deciding. Was impressed with how well it did with you. I have a lot of the kobalt lawn tools. I borrowed my bro in laws gas edger and it handled everything with like half a tank of fuel. And I loved the little rumble it gave me after using electric for everything else.
I’ve been eyeballing this edger for a bit. I have the 40v weed eater and leaf blower combo. If I juggle 2 batteries should be a solid purchase. Thank you for the video
The edger is a tough one to justify. I’d love one, but realistically, I’d use it 2-3 times a year. Thanks for the video. I always wondered how well the Kobalt ones work.
I use my edger every week.
Thank you. This video will help in our purchasing decision.
How do you replace the blade?
This was just what I was needing to see! Have the lawn mower and weed Wacker. Now, I need the edger so I can reclaim my driveway lol.
This is the perfect video to watch. Real use of a tool. My driveway or sidewalks are not near as long as yours, but going through the heavy growth helps a ton! Thanks
Thanks for this vid, definitely needed this vid before I bought it
I've had the Kobalt lawn mower for several years had no idea about the battery level tester built in. Awesome thanks. Will my mower batter 40 v 4 ah work with this edger?
My understanding is the 40v batteries work in any 40v tool they sell.
@@jodaddysworkshop786 thank you so much. Stay safe out there.
This definitely helped. This is perfect for the size of my property. Thanks.👍🏾
Two years ago I switched to Kobalt yard tools, a blower, hedge trimmer, 40v edger, and weed grass trimmer, and I could not be happier! They all have worked flawlessly for me. Getting rid of all the gasoline stuff made my day!! Love not having the starting problems and gas/oil mixing.
Can you give a one (?) year update?
It’s still working fine.
Nice review, thank you.
Extremely helpful! Thank you
Excellent video. Thank you
Awesome video, thanks for sharing 👍
Mine keeps shutting off
Take it back.
Well, respectfully so, I'm dying laughing typical man. Read the instructions first and you would know what the tools are for. Just like my husband LOL Thanks for the info
What's the size of the bolt that locks the blade in place?
Wish I knew!!!
I'm able to use 3/4.
But I'm still trying to figure out how to get the blade off
@edc8751 you lock the circle with a screwdriver then use a wrench going opposite what is normal
