McLane Gas Edger/Trimmer (801-3.5RP-CA) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have had my McLane edger since 1974. The new ones are built virtually the same as mine with the exception of different wheels. I have had no problems with mine at all. If you take care of things, they will take care of you. I have used this edger just about every Saturday since 1974 and it performs great. I have seen no engineering problems like the previous poster said. Maybe his was assembled incorrectly. Very dependable edger and it will probably last me the rest of my life.

Troy-Bilt LE720R Trimmer Plus 7-1/2-Inch Lawn Edger Attachment Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My best friend has a dedicated edger. It's large, expensive, takes up space and can't edge any better than this TrimmerPlus accessory.
I've used mine nearly every week of the lawn mowing seasons for the past two years. My edges look great!
I finally replaced the original blade (well worn after 2 years worth of use). The new models (or replacement blades for your old model) now have a large v-shaped notch (scallop) at the edge of the blade. It makes cutting more efficient than the orignal rectangular blade.
After a few months worth of use I finally did discover (as did several others who've reviewed this item) that it really does work best to walk backward. I find that with this technique I can edge my sidewalks, drive, and curbs in one pass.
If you've not edged before and have overgrown edges (I moved into a new home where the edges hadn't been maintained) it will take longer the first time and requires a slower technique. Move the unit back and forth (like a vacuum cleaner) to nibble & carve away the soil & grass to create a new clean edge. After the initial cut to regain control of my edges, it's a snap to run the edger through once weekly or bi-weekly.

The Ryobi add-on lawn edger for TrimmerPlus system does everything a regular edger can do, except take up a lot of room and leave your wallet light. The hungry 7-1/2-inch steel blade cuts an edge up to 2-1/2 inches for clean, deep edges along your driveway, sidewalks, and curbs. The wheel is just large enough to offer perfect stability without sacrificing maneuverability. Like all Trimmer Plus attachments, this edger add-on snaps securely onto any gas-powered Trimmer Plus unit with the Click-Link shaft. And when you're done edging, just remove it from the trimmer shaft, and you're ready for a new task: trimming, pruning, hedge trimming, leaf blowing, cultivating, and when the snow flies, even clearing your driveway. This lawn edger attachment comes with Ryobi's 2-year warranty.
