Lame and stupid. And the editing is annoying. It feels like the vid keeps jumping. Really bad.
Don Lessnau 421,000 views ... Thousands of Thumbs up and hundreds of comments later. Thank God you deposited your productive 2 cents which happens to be out there all alone on an island of self ignorance. Thanks for participating LMAO
Oof
Don Lessnau get a fucking sense of humor bud.
🦗 🦗 🦗.....
You a hater don lessnau. Gtfoh
Watching a couple videos before my first day on the job, this was very useful. Im only 16 but I wanna show up this summer ready to work. Thank you 😊💪💪
good ambition!!
Flynn Riyadh don’t edge backwards or on top of the grass. On top of the grass you can’t see what you are edging and doing it backwards won’t be as fast as going straight forward
Why can’t I find a young ambitious chap like yourself by me
Thank you for being an upstanding young person willing to work! Not only work, but researching to do the best job. Wish you lived by me,I would hire you without hesitating.
I'm 17 turning 18 soon and I love this job and I'm finally.mastering this career and getting money,.I'm so proud of myself
As a young man who has actually been cutting for almost 20 years,I best video I've seen so far ,
ive been doing it for almost forty years and this is the first guy thats fully legit
Thanks for being the dad I never had for 20 minutes. I’m so grateful that you took the time to make this so I can go clean my yard myself 🥰❤️🏆
Such a wholesome comment haha, hope your yard is lookin good!
You attacking the under growth before edging with the string trimmer is a game changer for me!! Im going to get me a string trimmer for Father's day tomorrow and can't wait to use that idea!!! Thanks!!
Ever since I had removed my String Trimmer Guard I have increased my accuracy and comfortability when doing my edges by at least 60%. I make sure that I wear safety glasses at all times and in some cases I wear a full face guard. Best thing I ever did for me at least is remove the guard. A neater job all round.
I tried to use the shield, it blocks too much of my view
@@DansVlog i never really had an issue wit the sheild but then again i never took it off to compare it, im gonna try tis summer
Thank you for the very helpful tips. I started using my string trimmer on over grown grass and had terrible time. I wish I had watched your video first. You make it look so easy :)
Fired the last bad gardener I ever hope to have. None of them ever did the job as you just illustrated. Undergrowth removal - great tip! I now own garden tools and, thanks to you, I'm not afraid to use them!
Yayyy!!!! Congratulations hun! I miss Miami. Grew up in Hollywood/ Pembroke Pines area
This is simply the best video on UA-cam about how to edge with a string trimmer. Comprehensive. Detailed. Perfect. Thank you.
Thank YOU!
Helped me also!
This is the best video on UA-cam that demonstrates edging techniques. I learned a lot. Thank you Dan!
vmst80 Thank YOU!
Learning how to care for my own lawn for the first time, and this video is just what I needed. Informative, real tips and tricks, awesome all around 🔥
Hahaha from Sydney Australia here. The rotation of the head on a commercial sniper rotates in an anti-clockwise direction looking down as you use it, conventional/residential snippers rotate clockwise. As for our toilets, mine just throws the water down haha
I was looking for this comment
Very helpful! I never thought of hitting the undergrowth first when edging but it works GREAT! My yard hasn't been edged in over 40 years so thank you for making my life easier!
I switched from 0.95 to 0.80. you're right, it cuts much better. thank you for the tip.
Heck ya! Just remember if you edge with .080 it will wear down faster so be easy on the power so you don't just waste the line burning it up
@@DansVlog - Seems that I heard you, or someone else mention that 80 will also cut into and damage fences alot quicker as well. I've been trying out that Rotary, Copperhead Vortex 95, that George Packard highly recommended, around the house, and really like it. Have always used Sthil, regular orange 95, and this black Vortex stuff is a bit thinner, more like 90, and kicks butt. Said he got turned onto it in Florida, and liked so much, brought it back to Wisconsin to use, and lasts way longer than other trimmer line he was using. I know you love the 80, but try this Rotary Vortex 95, and maybe do a video on if it's as good as they say. Thanks for reading my long comment, and thanks for all your informative videos.
@@stevecarr1992
I saw his video and still using the rotary. Definitely nailed it. Also switched from orange stihl.
Another amazing video Dan! Techniques were very useful and you explained them in a beautiful way. I was about to buy an Edger alongside a trimmer but now you’ve taught me how to Edge with my trimmer!!! Thank you so much your a living legend!!
That undergrowth tip just helped me out tremendously.
This is a great video. Lots of good tips. The guy knows what hes talking about. And he does a great job of trimming the lawn and teaching about it at the same time. Awesome bro!
Just bought myself a Husqvarna 129Lk and have used it in the front and back yard . After strimming and getting abit of confidence after a day , I tried out your edging technique Dan and I felt like a pro on my first attempt!! Although I will continue practicing and getting better at the craft.
Thank you for help buddy 💪🏼
Excellent! Happy to read if your success
Dan--you have a good, steady hand--it always looks easy when someone knows how. I tried this, and went through line like crazy and it was not as straight and true, but you have encouraged me. And a big THANK YOU for pointing out the safety side, it would be so easy to hit yourself, someone else, or a car, or whatever. Note for people in my situation, where people are coming and going constantly. Look often up and down the street, be sure no one is coming within "the line of fire"
Thank you so much for posting this video I really appreciate it there was a man across the street just now and he was trimming and edging a yard and I asked him if he could help me because I'm trying so hard to learn. I'm a 58 year old female just started cutting grass last year, I do OK but I don't know how to edge the yard and my first weed wacker or trimmer broke. I tried to get the issue resolved with Home Depot but they let me down they would not assist me, well maybe that's not correct it's not that they would not assist me they just did not assist me with what I needed. When I tried to show them what was going on, they did not listen, then they said they would have to plug it in to see what was going on for themselves. So I waited for a half an hour only for them to tell me they did not have an extension cord and I would have to come back, I went home disappointed. I called the manufacturer, they told me to take it to Home Depot (smh). After several attempts, I just threw it away. So last weekend my son gave me a Black and Decker trimmer and I'm trying to learn how to trim the edges of my yard, so I whispered a prayer and went across the street and asked the gentleman that was working on my neighbors yard I have seen him several times in the neighborhood I thought if he could just point me in the right direction just give me a heads up on how to do it. He was kind enough to stop with you was doing and gave me a 5-minute lesson, he basically said that my yard was in bad shape and that what I had trying to trim my yard with was a toy compared to what he had. Explain to him that I had gone to Home Depot to try to get my issue resolved, he said I was wasting their time that's why they did not help me. I came in the house feeling so disappointed and your video was playing because I looked up some things earlier on taking care of your yard and you just happen to be on when I came in the house and the things that you addressed is what's going on in my yard, especially the way it's overgrown to the sidewalk. So in about 12 minutes, I learned so much, I'm going to try and apply what I have learned today, it may take me a couple of times, but I'll get it and I have your video to watch over and over again. Thank you so much! I'm so grateful to people that take their time and post these videos it is such a great help God bless you and have a wonderful day☺
The undergrowth tip alone was worth it. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the tips this would make my grass cutting enjoyable!
very detailed walk through and great tips. keep up the good work my mans!
I am very grateful ton find your video! Tried watching others, but your is most helpful!
Hey thanks bud. We need people like you to show us things like this. Thank you. I loved the beginning part. Lol!!! It was a nice touch. I loved it. Keep your humor buddy.
Michelle Burt Thank You
@@DansVlog you are welcome. People need to be appreciated where deserved and not to be criticized.You did great with this.
Thank you for this awesome video. I’m going to try using my son’s Husqvarna Weedwhacker for the first time. I’ve used a little electric before but lost it in a house fire that consumed my back porch and all my tools. So this is a new experience and I really appreciate the tips. Also I watched a couple videos on stringing the trimmer. Thank God for UA-cam because I spent about two hours trying to figure it out on my own before I decided to look up Stringing! So here it goes... wish me luck! 👍🏽
You’re welcome
Very informative, love the humor and very easy to follow. Just what I needed in the times we are livng in. Thanks for the edging tips!!
Thank you
thank you for showing how to trim overgrowth on an untrimmed grass line. i just moved in and i have tons of overgrowth. i was making the mistake of trying to line it before cutting the extras. thanks for the tips.
i like how simple you explain things. i just bought the stihl weed eater attachment (your recommendation) and am loving these vids on how to use it. thanks!
You’re welcome
This vid was a great help for a new homesteader like myself and i love your personality brother, thank you so much
Thank you
Great tips man, just bought a new weed eater and starting to seriously keep my lawn and plants in check.
Awesome!
As a fellow lawn guy with 16 years experience, this guy knows how to use a trimmer (almost as good as me). I also take the guard off, thing gets in the way when trying to blaze through a lawn for quick cash.
Vertical edging technique - exactly what I was searching for - Thanks.
thanks for taking the time making this video. loved the beginning when you acted like a trimmer warming up for a run.
Thank you Anthony
Thanks for the tips, I notice you let the string tip do the work, which works well, very helpful suggestions, thanks
You make it look so easy that many will not understand that there is a talent to this as well. I am the voice of experience. I am very mechanical but have my problems edging and have learned the thing about weed eating first by trial and error. I am going to make sure I am using your angles when performing the actual edging. Thanks!!!
I want the edger machine used on my lawn every time. That's the best and perfect way to get a proper, clean, sharp edge.
I agree
I had a new guy wear out a new weedeater head in two days last year on sidewalks. He had to finish the second day without letting the head touch the ground even in the grass. Then the next few days he got to use the heavy weedeater till the new wear cap come in. It was some good training learning the hard way. The next one lasted the whole season. Lol
Did it the first time the other day. I’ll get better and this was very helpful. TY
Beginner here starting a lawn service....Great advice... Even better tutorial... Had to subscribe after that.
You're the best dad I never had.
Thanks. The first 45seconds is my favorite part 😂. Do your thang Dan
Was hesitant to watch (cuz 11😛) SO GLAD I DID WATCH! Only have nasty stuff to get trimmed. Really appreciated your attention to detail. THANK YOU 😊
Cool tips, especially the under growth tip. I will try this the next time i cut my parents yard.
I just wanted to thank you dan for all your great videos i have learned alot from watching them.
Thank you!
I been watching your video since I subscribe and let me tell you i enjoy it and i been learning a lot of tricks thank you for doing it. Also i love 😂 the sound effects you putting now it makes the video funny and enjoyable.
Thanks.
Awesome training demo… I really like and understand the clock analogy.
I'm heading out to buy a weeder now.....thanks Dan....you've given me the courage to know I can do this.
You CAN do it!
That first part was funny. Like your heart was a weed eater engine! 😂
Lol
Thanks for the over grown grass tip!!! 🖤
This is a good video...I appreciate the techniques you used on on to clean the undergrowth when edging. Keep up the good work! Very informative on how to edge, especially for someone that very little practice. Thanks👍
Finally watched this 1-year old video, Dan, and I laughed my butt off at the opening. Loved it. Good tips, and I'll put them to good use. Thanks so much for your videos. Really fun to watch, and useful too.
Thank you Jack
Bad ass man.I don't have a stick edger yet and I have a lot of over grown yards you just saved me so much time!
Great video, especially the introduction and the finish.
I’m just getting started doing lawn work, and I appreciate these tips. Definitely learned a lot here.
Glad to help
I’m learning how to edge and I have to say this video has helped me a lot!!! Thanks!! 👍🏼
My pleasure
only six months into this trade and I already like it.
thank You for sharing this video
simple explanation but helpful.
I have a question
I'm 5"11 something about the handles of a weed eater that makes it difficult to get one certain posture
for me to speed up.
I always feel awkward the way I'm standing or walking while edging...
any Idea?
That lazy neighbor on the corner is looking out the window like.... who the hell is cutting my grass???
This video help me alot how to use my trimmers it teach me alot.yes I know how to use my trimmers now.thank you for the video.
You are so welcome
Thank you so much for this detail video. You truly helped me because i was struggling using my weedeater to edge my lawn.
My pleasure
Thanks so much for the video. I've decided to let go of my "yard man" and start taking care of my own lawn in order to save money and this was a great tutorial.
Happy to help
The editing in this video is better than most Hollywood films.
Greg Meise Thank you
Awesome video. I learned two things: 1) my cheap battery powered eater blows 2) why I have been getting rocks and debris smacking the piss outta my skins lol. Thank you! Great video.
Happy to help
Good road warrior tie in! Been string trimming for years and havent had a clue what I was doing. Great hacks. Thanks
Glad to help
Thank you for the tips and tricks. Very useful for a newbie as myself. Gracias!!!
Dinada!
Great tips Dan, and great video. Keep pushing Sir
Fantastic video, really helped me out! Thank you for spending your time to do this :)
Thank you
"Mom that man that cuts our grass is doing weird things again"
LOLOL
Excellent video, the best and I've watched several thank you!!!
Thank you
I have to say.. thank you for this helpful video!! Kudos to you!
You really are an excellent teacher
Thank you
You make the straight shaft looks easy. I got both a straight and a curve shaft. Thanks for sharing.
Hey Dan, I'm subscribing right now. The beginning was hilarious, that is a good sense of humor. I'm starting my business, so I have just a couple of month of experience here, I mean nothing... anyways, I have a hard time having the correct technique with the weed eater, so today a friend of mine borrowed me a blade edger and it was easy and fast to finish the yard. I don't think it is a bad idea to buy one of the edgers when also I'm planning to charge an extra $20 o $25 in every new customer.
Thank you
Great video .. very well explained with good tips and tricks .. can’t wait for summer !
Great video, lots of informational tips!!!
Thanks...very helpful to this newbie
Thank you were much this helped alot keep up the good work
Thank you
Lmao, at the begging moving to the sounds of the weedwacker

Dan's Vlog Yep
Nice videos. Only been in my house 2 yrs. can’t get the lawn in shape, hired pros this year to fertilize/weed spray/aeration. I mow and clean up.
I just ordered a EGO 56v brushless power head with edger attatchment. Watched your other edging vid. Can’t wait to do mine.
Congratulations on your new purchase!
Had a good chuckle with the start of your vid mate..some good Tips on snipping..
Thank you
“Cleanup the undergrowth then edge”. Great tip!
It helps
loved this video, for sheer entertainment value! subscribed.
+foofoo rabbitt Thank you very much
I see I'm not the only guy trying to save money anyway that I can. 😂
Dan you are very creative and informative thanks, from cypress texas
Thank you Pablo
Really handy tips especially on finding that edge on an overgrown edge.
Just picked up a new FS91 to replace an old freebie that I've been running with in the last year. I'll keep it for small jobs and learning how to tune and maintain the motor.
Oh and down here in Melbourne, Australia only the 2 strokes go backwards...or the timing is out.
So helpful! Thank you for the thorough explanation/demo:) Homeowner here with a little more confidence, lol.
This tutorial kicks ass!
Mate.... good on ya with the Aussie joke I actually laughed hahahaha. Hi from Queensland and thanks for the video
Haha glad you enjoyed it and thank you
😂 the start was awesome 👍
australian here. our trimmers rotate same direction as you guys! on a straight shaft of course
Thank you. I was mostly kidding though!!
Awesome Video Brother!! I just got my first weed wacker and just started on my yard. Sure I've been using weed edgers for years but never game a shit about it until I now own my home and yard and of course I now respect my lawn and want it to look great. I kind of messed up on a few parts but it's getting easier and easier over time and experience. Anyway Love your video! You are totally Cobra Kai Material my friend and know how to sweep the leg! lol A+++++++
hektorlinko Strike first strike hard no mercy sir
@@DansVlog Hell Yeah! Can't wait for Season 3 to come out as soon as this Corona craziness is over. Cobra Kai Never Dies!!! and neither does your lawn...lol
Awesome video I'm using it as a training tool for newbies. Thanks !
+Karl Williams Thank You
That’s really cool in my opinion
Great video. Very informative and helpful
Dan miss you uploading new videos, but even the older ones like this are timeless. Hope you are doing well my friend 👍
I was like what is this?! I don't have time for this. I need to get this edger tutorial before it gets dark. This was so hilarious I had to watch. Thanks for the added action
Thank you Asias. I try to entertain and inform but more infotain so the lesson is remembered
🤣🤣🤣 Was going to sub just on the intro alone! Until I realized I was already subbed!💯
Hello from downunder, great video! If I knew what I was doing, I wouldn't be watching this video, so of course my grass is nasty. So that part of the video was the most helpful!
Hope I was able to help
Thanks for the tips. Just started using a gas trimmer and I was covered in grass and dirt after edging my yard!
Lol ya it takes time to get used to directing the debris away from your legs
Great video and Tip about finding edge by cutting back overgrowth first.
Nice video Dan, keep up the good work your tips are very handy.
