What to look for when buying a power lawn edger

A power lawn edger allows you to sculpt and manicure your property where your grass meets the sidewalk, driveway, curb, patio, flowerbeds and more. This tool is for you if you want a professional and polished lawn. Here are five critical features of a power lawn edger.

1. You can modify the blade angle. Many power edgers have a fixed-angle blade. This works well along solid surfaces like driveways. However, an adjustable blade is best to create a natural look around flowerbeds.

2. You can adjust the cutting depth. To help you get a neat, sharp line, look for an edger that lets you set the depth to at least three different positions.

3. You can easily replace the blades. If you plan on using your power edger frequently, purchase a model with a quick-release cutting blade you can easily replace when it starts to dull.

4. It has safety features. Safety is critical when using a power edger. Therefore, look for a model with safety features like a blade guard to prevent accidental cuts and flying debris. The model you choose should also have a blade disengagement feature to quickly stop the cutting blade from turning.

5. It has additional accessories. You can find multi-tool lawn edgers that can also be used as mowers, trimmers and trenchers. If you want to do more than edge your lawn, an all-in-one tool might be something to consider.
