Fiskars Steel Long-Handled Edger (35 in.), Black and Orange, 1 Piece

I'm 80 with back issues. I'm using it to edge around a flower bed wherein Bermuda grass triies to jump over some brick like stones (actually made of plastic). I push it down (into ) soil by stepping on it (shovel) rock it a bit) then I grab the weeds and grass and pull. )(easier if it's just rained. ). It cuts the grass where inserted and rocking it loosens roots. I work at it 30 min to an hour ,quit and rest.

Never used on but with a new house and endless gardening ideas I wanted it for many reasons. It's fantastic! Easily edges out a simple straight cut into the grass just as needed. Once you push it down you can remove the grassy bits with a swift movement and go to the next area giving a beautiful clean line. Absolutely love it. Matches my other discard tools. Lifetime guarantee. Heavy duty. Really nice!

This edger is thirty-five inches long. The head of this edger is black in color and is made of steel metal. The handle of this edger is made of plastic that is in an orange color. The handle has a hole in it. I use this hole to hang this edger from my garage walls. I hang it from one of the tool hooks we have on the wall. The handle bar is made from a hollow structured plastic. The edger's steel metal head has a ninety degree bend in it. That bend is to allow me to step on the edger to cut into the ground. It did a great job going into the soil around my walkway and my garden bed. I was very pleased with how well the edger did with the weight of my husband's foot on it. This is a very sturdy and useful tool.

Fiskars Steel Long-Handled Edger (35 in.) Came in the nic of time since last summer my husband broke yet another shovel. I was surprised by how light the shovel was for how sturdy it is. It is made from minimal pieces and soldered where the handle meets the shovel. So far it seems like a very strong shovel that may actually withstand my husband's brute strength. I love how wide the foot plate is on it. I always struggle with the super thin strip on our other shovels. The tip is "sharp" but not sharp to the touch. We both really like the "T" shape to the handle as opposed to a standard shovel. My husband has limited use of one of his arms and this design he finds easier to use than the traditional one. It is also easier for my smaller frame because between the "T" shape and wide plate I can easily put my weight into it and break through the rock layer sitting right under our lawn that makes many projects extremely difficult for us. Our Fiskars steel shovel is a quick favorite for all the projects we have coming up this summer especially cleaning up the garden edging and putting in the new running path on our property. By time we're done with this path if this shovel holds up it will no doubt be the strongest shovel/edger we've used. I was playing with this shovel all day on our property and it is so light and easy to maneuver. When I say light I mean walking my several acre property with my toddler and it bot bothering me to. Ring the shovel along with me to work. I honestly am not a fan of shovels. I usually struggle with them. I was using this one handed half the time. It made cleaning up the garden bed take so much less time my mind was blown. Go figure, get the right tool for the job and suddenly it becomes easy lol.

My first impression was how light this tool was compared to any other steel shovel or spade yard tool. I was expecting something wimpy and bendy. But I was surprised to see this tool was good to do the job it was designed for. Edging the lawn. If you have some paved spots that have soil eroded onto it and maybe even sprouts of grass or weeds, this tool will cut that soil area away from the lawn and allow you to weep away the soil and greenery. It is stiff and strong enough to allow you to push it into the soil and give a little push away from the pavement to keep that newly created trench to be pushed away from the walk, creating a nice edge. The light weight of the tool does not make it tiring to use it, and it is stiff enough to do the job. Great tool and Fisker quality.

Arrived faster than estimated and works very well. I edged both sides of a 75ft long driveway very easily and quickly using this edger. Just a note - after ordering this I found the same edger for a couple dollars less at the local Ace hardware store. (Not a big deal - except during COVID-19 when I'd prefer to support my local stores.)

The only problem with this edger was that it was very dull. I had to put it in a professional knife sharpener to put a sharp edge on the blade.

Works well. I would recommend it. I do not do a lot of edging so it isn't something I will use all the time, but it is nice to have one on hand for when you do want to clean up some overgrown edges. It took a bit of weight for some of the tougher areas. Had to try and use two feet to weigh it down enough to cut completely through some spots, but it worked really well on the less tough areas. It is not as heavy as I expected it to be, it is actually pretty lightweight, but seems very durable. The handles were a good size for me and easy to grasp and hold on to. It stands upright really well or can be hung on a peg or hook which I like. There is not really much else to say about it. If you need an edger, this should get the job done for you.

We will have to play a little he said, she said on this one. My husband used this as well as myself and we for the most part agreed. However, a few details we did not. Overall, our opinions were the same. This edger seems very sturdy with a well done, thick weld where the head attaches. It was made of sturdy material and yet isn't terribly heavy. It was a nice height for each of us even though I'm just shy of 6 feet and he is about 6' 5". We both found the height to work well. I think even if you are substantially shorter, you will still find the edger's height helpful. Now, the details we did not agree fully on... She said: I thought the way the handle was attached could be an issue. It is a medium weight plastic but is attached to the shaft with a small rivet. There is also no reinforcement and a keyhole-like spot. All of that together (to me at least) creates a weak point that can easily crack with use. He said: "Its not a big deal. You aren't supposed to put weight on that part, it's just for control." Okay, I get that but if you are shorter and need some leverage or lack sufficient leg strength, you may unintentionally use pressure on the handle. He said: "It could use a little wider lip on the spot you step on." She said: "No. It's fine. Not everyone has ginormous feet like you." I think the lip is fine. My husband wears a size 15 shoe. I imagine he has a hard time with many things of this nature. I am a size 8 in women's and found the lip to be ample but can see his point. So, I guess the verdict is if you have huge feet, you may have a learning curve to overcome. Everyone else, this is a non-issue. That being said, again, overall we were both satisfied with this product. It seems well made and is comfortable to use. We do recommend it... Both of us.

The cutting blade was too small.
