hahaha yes lads! :D
Used a line trimmer for years but have just purchased an edger for the reasons you touched on. Clearly, my preferred option is for you to come to my place and do it. I can hold the camera.
Finally, a video I can get behind!
Thanks for the review. The multi head stream trimer attachment rotes in counter clockwise direction so avoid getting hit by debris the operator will need to stand one the left side of the trimer's head and trim with the tip on the top left side of the line for the best performance. Even as an ambidextrous person I still find it too heavy, too long and uncomfortable to use and that is why I am going to sell it off. Install the handle onto the shaft of the trimmer attachment will increases the accuracy of the operation. The best option maybe getting the new ST1632 16" carbon fiber telescope trimmer with quick release handle, Powerload and Line IQ that is few pounds lighter and easily adjusted to any operator's height for the best balanced and ergonomic trimming experience. I have the Darwin Grip 5.0 on the edger attachment and it will save your back.
I've used the EGO multihead and did a review on it too. Honestly I loved it. Yes, maybe a little heavy, but its so nice to have something with several tools and take up less space.
You’re supposed to hold it at a 90 degree angle.
I forgot what we were talking about in this video 😅....
You got some balls using the weed eater with no shirt on 😂 I already get pelted enough by small rocks and gravel from time to time
glad to see you wearing safety glasses during this demonstration.
I'm 13 and mow grass I'm a master with the string trimmer but it only has one use and isn't that great at lines so I've been looking into getting this so thanks for the amazing review!
I had the edger and it was well made, easy to use and cut well
based on ur vid - i’m getting the edger- thanks for the demo
when i use my ego trimer as an edger the line break often to the point where i have to take it apart and reinstall the line
Battery trimmer s are light and does a great job
She could review the grass growing and id watch it. This was helpful though.
Why did the push mower didn't cut the grass really well because you have a dull blade
Awesome… 😬😂 you need the 650cfm blower love! 😊🙏🏾🤙🏾
You’re so cute! With the line trimmer you want edge vertically along the street not horizontally and put a little groove in between the grass and the pavement. The stick edger is the way to go on these when edging along the driveway in the street. Use the edge guide on the tool to stay consistent. You get a more perfect edge with the stick edger. Use the line trimmer along the fence.
See, I thought that you used the edger for the edges, but you used the trimmer for cutting down weeds that might be close to fence lines and such. Well I learned something new today. When I used to help my dad, my dad had a strap. That helps with the weight aspect.
I have the Ego power head with both of these attachments too - suggest you get the strap it'll take the weight and allow you to focus on placement. Also, the leaf blower makes clean up a cinch and reveals the bits that may need a tidy up...clears everything away easy as.

EGO makes a string trimmer strap that will take the weight issue away. Much easier to control. Generic straps at $8 also work well. Work smarter not harder.
South of the equator, the EGO trimmer rotates in the opposite direction.
Got to go with blade! When my edger was broken, I butchered lawn trying to edge with the line trimmer.

Good job
I find lawn edgers are only effective when there's plenty of depth to the edge you're trimming. If it's shallow, the blades hits the bottom of bounces around. Whereas a line trimmer allows you more of movement to adjust for those variations. Plus, if you're trimming grass against walls and fences etc, as well as cutting lawn edges, you can do both without needing to switch tools, saving time. I've got a lawn edger and haven't used it in years.

I use the edger along the sidewalk and driveway. Then switch the battery to my string trimmer to cut the grass along my house, fence and trim under bushes and around mailbox post and trees. When I used the trimmer as an edger, it wasn't as effective and I wasted a lot of line on the edging. Another pro tip: Replace the blade on the edger every couple years. I just replaced it for the first time after 4 years of usage. I should have done it a long time ago. It was only $17 and edging became effortless in comparison.

Subtle! Nice Bunnings hat btw - I have one myself. Wide brimmed straw hats are the best for working in the sun. Yes, line trimmers take a LOT of practice to get right in terms of edging. My preferred method for cutting vertical trenches with a line trimmer is to hold it upside down instead of on it's side like you were. Anyway, I'm looking at both of these products, so your video was informative.

Interesting that you find holding it upside down easier. The biggest problem with the snipper in question is that its a clockwise rotating head and not the typical counter-clockwise (yes makes a big difference) If I am doing a vertical edge, I hold it on its side but I walk forward (counter-clockwise pulls the head along), sure I may be in the firing line of debris but its (for me) a hell of a lot easier and faster. With nearly 6 years professionally doing it under my belt, I can edge at about 1-1.5M/second in both "trench" and "flush flat edge" this way. Nothing more cringe worthy than watching someone undercut to edge or approach from a side susceptible to undercutting. See 1st attempt with line trimmer for that one.
sorry what products were they looking at again, I kinda lost focus after the first 2 seconds
Nice
Why is half the video blurred out!
Hes doing yard work in a pink shirt, white and sandles. No wonder hes blurred. He definitely has some sugar in the tank.
Ego has a strap that can be attached to the string trimmer which helps with the weight & navigation. I have one & it really helps.

I had to take my trimmer back, it pulled constantly and didn't look good. Also it didn't release the line, I used ego line and mine and It never fed the line. If I buy another one I'll get the much simpler one.

Try turning the line trimmer over and walking backwards
Idk how he does that with hair done but I’m jealous
Why did the battery couldn't charge because the battery was toast
If you look closely you can see lawn tools in this video
I'd rather stick with my line trimmer or get the power shear attachment
Nice video but they need to watch a how to.
I don't know why all electric line trimmers default to clockwise rotation. The standard, thanks to petrol, is counter-clockwise. Husqvarna at least has a option to switch between clockwise and counter-clockwise but for the best cut you need to spool the cord counter-clockwise too which is the opposite to the directions on the spool. The only problem is Husqvarna is very lacklustre in performance. The second attempt with the line trimmer would have been far more successful if the head had of been counter rotating.

If the motor is at the head it spins clockwise. That’s just the way the DC motors spin. If it has a gearbox at the head it will be counter clockwise. It’s just the way it is. Contractors primarily use trimmers with gearboxes, the average home owner would of normally had a bent shaft petrol line trimmer before battery became popular. They spun clockwise. The average home owner doesn’t care about rotation direction.

@@TheBasher05 you do realise that an electric motor (DC or otherwise) can spin either counter clockwise or clockwise, this is a benefit of electric motors over ICE. If you bothered to read what I typed out, I said the Husqvarna electric offering has selectable rotation at the press of a button, a feature that would be nice on all electric snippers. and how anyone ever used that POS bent shaft weedwackers is beyond me.
Edger wins!❤
No need to hand clean the curb with your hand. Use the blower. As for me I prefer the string trimmer for edging. The blades are intended for overgrown grass. Stating using a Microscope is going a bit overboard.

I own the MultiHead metal blade edger attachment and it's TOO heavy to use for me for long time! Honestly it doubles the weight of the whole edger as its heavy solid steel. Why did Ego make the attachment SO heavy ? I have no idea as they could have simply used a carbon filament attachment I think and would have been much much lighter. I wont use it anymore as its too heavy.

I think the blade edger has it's advantages and disadvantages, for you don't need to be a professional to use one of these to do a great job compared to how you did it. With probably only a couple of goes, you do well like a professional compared to how your husband, or boyfriend, or, for me, a better way of saying, who use to be your boyfriend and is now engaged to be married to you, did it. I dare say, that a woman can do as much of a good job compared to what a young man can, or even better and so there's no excuse for a woman to say no, well done for trying- to the advantage, he showed us how it was made, like a professional if he's not one. The disadvantage is that I think if you use the metal blade edger regularly, you may wear the driveway out a bit as you said, which may not leave you happy in the long run. A thought, popped in my head, me sharing it with you, that a robust, strong plastic edger, if they have one, made out of plastic are probably better off. Off course, it makes sense, they wear out a lot quicker than a metal blade edger, and if they have plastic ones, they may come cheap for the sake of your driveway. Or maybe, the wise decision is to liaise with a structural engineer on that one and also a second opinion with another structural engineer for maybe a good call. I say that, for it's permissible with some councils, I discovered, to use a metal blade edger. I'm not giving an expert opinion- so, hope this helps.

The line trimmer is too big. Smaller models do a better job. And when using the lawn edger you must go back and forth to cut the grass if it is long. Much easier if the grass is shorter. Cut more often and don't let your grass get away on you.
