    Craftsman 12 Amp Edger is quick,easy to use & does a great job! June 10, 2010

    I had never used an Edger before so I was leery as to how good of a job I would do...well, I did not need to worry because this Craftsman 12 Amp Edger is so easy to use that it made my task quick and simple and my lawn looked great when I was done.  My neighbors all came over to see what I was using because it looked so good!  I wish that I had bought one years ago instead of breaking my back using a manual Edger or shovel!

    I love that it is electric and I don't have to worry if the engine will start..plug it in and go..it is a simple as walking behind the Edger and with a choice of three depths, you are on your way to having  the best looking yard in the neighborhood.

    Worst Edger Ever! April 23, 2011

    Bought this to replace my trusty black 3HP Sears unit only because the blades for the 3HP were becoming nearly impossible to get and the guide tab had completely worn away so I was going through blades more quickly.

    This new unit has a "Space Saving" handle that goes to two positions - straight up for storage and a working position that is far too low to use the unit comfortably. I normally edge with my cordless trimmer and only use this on occasions where I missed a cut and have a little thicker grass on the edge. If you adjust the cut to get below the sidewalk even slightly, the blade guard housing will clog with dirt as it is very restrictive. If you do not cut this deep, it is nearly impossible to keep it on track as the handle is down around your knees. I'm not tall either at 5'8". I can't imaging how a taller person could use this tool at all!

    Craftsman Edger gets the job done November 30, 2011
    By dqpd2003 of Rochester, NY

    Easy to assemble and easy to use.  Works fine if you read the owners manual first and follow the directions.  The drier the soil, the less clogging of the blade.  I like the blade design as it cuts better than most since it has cutting teeth and not just a straight edge.  It cleans up very easy and the blade housing comes apart easily for cleaning.
