After using this edger several times, I have mixed feelings about it. The positives include how lightweight it is and the ease of putting it together. I do wish that the blade was sharper and more heavy duty, which would make it easier to cut through tough weeds. I'm going to see if I can get the blade sharpened. It takes a lot of effort, but when this is accomplished, the edging looks nice. It is a good value for what you get. I would recommend it for those who are strong, don't mind hard work, and don't have a large area to edge.
