Question 1

What’s the difference between a lawn edger and garden sheers?

Accepted Answer

A lawn edger is specifically designed to cut through the edges of grass and along the edges that flank your lawn, such as driveways, walkways, and flower beds. As such, you can expect a lot better results with a lawn edger. With sheers, the edges likely won’t be even and you could potentially cut too deep into the roots and damage your lawn. Not to mention the fact that you’ll need to exert a lot more energy when you edge your lawn with sheers.

Question 2

How do I sharpen the blade of a lawn edger?

Accepted Answer

You do have to keep the blades of a lawn edger sharp in order for the tool to work properly. With some models, in order to sharpen the blades, you’ll need to remove them from the tool. Once they’re removed, you can clean them and then use a grindstone to sharpen them. With other models, the blades are easy to access while they’re still on the tool. If that’s the case, you can just clean them off and use a small grindstone to sharpen the blades.

Question 3

Is using a lawn edger hard?

Accepted Answer

At first glance, operating a lawn edger might look complicated, but in reality, it’s a lot easier than it seems. In fact, it’s really no different than using a lawn mower. Simple place the edger at the start of the edge of your lawn, start it up, and start walking forward; if you’re using a manual edger, there’s no need to start it up, just walk. You can guide and maneuver the edger using the handle, just like you would a lawn mower. Once you get to the end of the edge, change the direction or stop. That’s really all there is to it!

Question 4

What manufacturer should I choose?

Accepted Answer

If you aren’t sure which manufacturer to use, you’re best bet is going with a well-known brand name. Greenworks, Sunseeker, Ryobi, Sun Joe, Crafstman, Scotts, and Black and Decker are some of the best-known brands.
