    I like that this is electric not battery. It has great power, easy to use and does a really good job of trimming down driveway and it is really good for digging trenches. I like to dig some trenches by the side walk for rain water run off.

    This is my second Worx brand tool (the first was the pole chain saw) and I love them both. Durable, well designed tools for home use. Adjustments are easy and don't require tools. I get the impression that whomever designed this actually has edged grass before. It cuts through dense turf easily. The price was very reasonable. Very happy with this purchase.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Takes The Edge Off!

    This is a decent product. If you are going to do a lot of edging, or want to do deep trenching to run conduit, etc. this is NOT the product you want. It is electric, so you are tethered to an outlet, and of course, the farther you go on extension cords, the less of the 12 amp juice you get. It also trenches to 1 1/2", which is OK, but not enough to dump conduit, etc.

    That said, this is a very good edger. Out of the box, it is minimal assembly. You connect the three pieces of the shaft, removing some edge tape from it, and inserting two metal bolts and plastic knobs, similar to most lawn mowers these days. Then you install the plastic handle with another bolt. That's it.

    For use, you have a lever which you pull up for edging and lower for trenching to adjust the group clearance. You also choose 1", 1/4", or 1 1/2" depth. Then you plug it in.

    There is a white line on top of the blade cover so you know where the blade is. You just pull the trigger to run the blade, or release the trigger to stop the blade.

    Be careful not to lose sight of your electric cord so you don't hit it!

    I edged along my driveway, about 50' on each side, as well as my front of my lawn, so another 85' along the lawn and the apron (both sides). That's over 350'. It cut through the grass and dirt easily. It struggled a couple of times, on some tough mounds of grass, but like any other tool, you don't force it when that happens, just back up and do that area again slowly.

    If you come too close to blacktop, Belgian block, stone, etc. you will see sparks so you will know.

    Just keep in mind, this is an edger. You will be left with the severed grass/sod to remove. In my case I was loooong overdue for a edging, so I spent a long time scraping the sod off the pavement with a shovel. I expect with more frequent ending, and now working with a cleaner edge, this will be less of an issue. Either way, that is not on the product, but the state of the lawn.

    The edger has 2 read wheels and one smaller front wheel so , although this is not like a big, gas-powered curb jumping unit, you have the option of attacking a curb edge from either the blade side or other side of the edger, so you can get real close to a Belgian block curb.

    I also did the edge where my grass meets my mulched flower bed, but that was more of a trimming than a edge removal.

    Overall, the Work edger did as good, or better, a job than my string trimmer, and I didn't have to stop every few minutes to rewrap string. Plus it trenched enough to give me a definitive edge, whereas the string edger just cuts into the grass, not a real trench.

    I'm thrilled and pleased with the Worx edger. I bought it because it's electric, cheaper than other styles and I don't have to fool with a 2 stroke engine. I bought Worx, because it has a good guide to help me keep the blade away from the sidewalk, as well as a white mark on the housing to give a general idea of where the blade was. Also I thought it seemed to have a good engine. Now I'm sure it has a good engine. I looked at 3 other comparable trimmers, and because of the guide and engine, chose Worx. I read the 1 star reviews, many of the 5 star reviews and in between, as well as all the specifications I could. One of the competitors was attractive to me, but the 1 stars indicated there was a small tendency for the engine to quit. There were many less reviews for most of the models and many for that one, but I chose this one for the same amperage of engine, but less HP, which might, in my mind, over-work the engine which would account for it being ruined. One had a better warranty, but Amazon offered 2 more years for about $750, so I upgraded the warranty to 4 years,I have Tall Fescue grass in sandy loam soil in SE Wyo because of drought resistance, and it's a Northern grass). The grass is taller and tough as well as more in clumps. The ground probably is much easier to work than clay. The edger handled the tall grass ok, with all the clippings which had accumulated. I It was a long hard job to do the first trimming, and I was impressed with the 'Worx. I tried not to work it harder than necessary but it took more than 5 or 6 hours of work. I used the blade down almost to the long hole marker and had parts of 2 teeth left. It worked well; didn't clog; had power. Didn't ruin the engine. Didn't work me hard! I had to tighten the blade after about 10 feet, but only that once. In one area I had to run it on the wrong side, with the wheels on the grass. It worked ok, but worked much better where it was possible to put the wheels on the cement, and thus use the guide! It would be nice to be able to move the handle and the guide to the other side instead of the way I did it. The cord holder worked poorly for a 3 wire 12 gauge extension cord, but worked fine when I got out the smaller 14 g. The metal trimmer guide that helps hold the blade away from the side walk pulls up for use of the edger as a trencher. My lawn looks terrific. The blades were MUCH more expensive than the B & D; so before I bought Worx, I searched the internet and found an electric company which had a 3 pack of original equipment blades for it for $28, and on sale for $22. I scored on the tool, and on the blades! PTL!!
