                I did an edge and it came out very clean.

                  I just received mine and noticed the T-handle is not aligned with the blade. It's off a little bit. If I try to edge a straight line by looking at the handle, the blade will not be straight. Is this normal or did I just get a defective product?

                  Answer This Question

                  I never noticed the handle vs blade alignment, but I use the blade in a slow rocking motion to run a straight line stepping back often to check my work. For longer lengths, I run a string line for guidance & mark interval points along the length.

                        Good while it lasted 2 months
                        Flimsy. It bent while using it. I was not using it for anything rigorous, but it somehow bent. Now I can barely use it as I can feel the metal give way each time I use it. It's sharp and easy to use, but its durability is questionable. I do not recommend.

                          Easy to use. Clean, cut lines. Seems study. My brother brought over his from a different maker but the handle broke since it’s plastic. Will not be an issue with this product being metal. Used to completely dig out two flower beds in the back of the house. And straighten the bed border at the side of the house. Made the job feel like cake! More and more I’m enjoying the Ames brand as holding up well and well made. Also have a shovel from this maker and use it every chance I can.

                          Edging all day
                          Edging my lawn has become strangely satisfying thanks to this tool. It glides through the soil like butter, and those clean, sharp lines are motivation to keep going. This Ames steel edger is a whole different experience. It's sturdy, feels great in my hand, and makes me feel like a landscaping pro. If you're looking to get a little dirty and define those curves, this is the tool for you.

                            Great edging tool
                            If you're not afraid of some manual labor this is the tool for you. It does a nice job getting a good deep edge on some mulch beds. I have used this tool for over 3 years now on multiple landscape jobs and I don't have any complaints with it. It has always given me good results. Yes, it does take a little bit of extra time, but it's more controlled than a gas powered edger. It has met my expectations so far. Please hit the thumbs up if this was helpful.

                              This is not the sturdiest tool you'll ever find, but it seems like it will hold up vis-a-vis its price. The serrated edge really does seem to work well. The foot-push-edge (open to suggestions for proper term) is not as wide as I might like -- I used soft soled sneakers to use this and I would have been better off with some harder soles. But really, it wasn't too bad since our lawn was nice and watered. I found my technique improved quickly. I had to redo the first 20 feet after I got the hang of it. In the end, I did three passes. 1) straight down a couple inches from the concrete. 2) at a 45 degree angle right at the edge of the concrete to cut through pass 1 and make a trench. 3) used a hoe to pull the resulting sod out of the trench I made. In step 1, I used my foot. Step 2 I used my thighs to push on the T handle (worked surprisingly well that way) since the tool was laying over at 45 degrees or more. Step 3 was fairly easy since I had cleanly cut the sod in passes 1,2.

                                If you hate to weed eat / edge and tired of your string breaking all the time. Or tired of the motor won't start on a gas powered one. Or you just hate it so bad you let it go for a long time before giving up and doing the job. I have about 200 feet of this to do at my home. I had an old one similar ( no teeth on the blade and no T handle ) that I had bought from Sears many years ago. A couple of weeks ago the handle broke and they do not sell them anymore. I found this one at Home Depot. This really works well in my yard. My grass grows with what I will call runners and they are tough to cut with string trimmers but not for this baby. I am 73 and I did this 60 feet in the attached picture in half an hour.

                                  Great Edger
                                  This is a Nice edger,It has plastic handles but the rest is galvanized painted steel. The edge of the blade has teeth and works well at defining your line and cutting threw sod.The welds are smooth and there is nothing bolted on that would break like some others I have used.This is a Great quality edger that should last for many years.I really like the design.
