Weekend yard work | string trimmer vs blade edger | sunday mow edge the lawn

[KFG]

I love how dads in American, regardless of their culture, ALL love their man toys.

My mother never wanted to use the regular edger, when my parents bought their house. Reason is the edger can slowly chip away at the cement, which she wasn’t going to pay to have repaired. I own the house now and I’m glad there’s YT videos on how to use the string trimmer to do it. It may not come out as picture perfect, especially when you’re new. But, the regular edger was a tool I didn’t need to buy, I can still use the string trimmer and, although it’s certainly not a competition where the neighbors are concerned, my lawn still looks better. I also use the string trimmer to cut the lawn, until I get a mower. Doesn’t look great. But again, some of my neighbors lawns…

Try blowing where you edged to clean all the cut grass out

“So my dads mowing the lawn, let’s see what he’s doing” he’s mowing the lawn obviously

I have both and the blade does a much better job, like 100 times better. Also, I have at least a dozen, or more, Ryobi products, including the vacuum cleaner, and I swear they’re the greatest.

i can never have those cheap equipment

Thank you for a very interesting comparison. Just one question: Do you still think that it is worth to do with a steel blade while it has a chance to damage the concrete (and blade)?

[dustindesalvo]

Ryobi is probably the worst equipment one can own. At that you still made your property look great. 👍🏼👍🏼

Tell your dad they sell a attach so he don’t need 2 of them it will save him room in the garage

use the 40v double sided string one! this 18v single string is not powerful enough

[S.X.S.]

Yo man don't use them, buy a good adjustable string trimmer

so my dad is mowing the lawn, so let's go see what he is doing *facepalm*

[noname-tjrp]

Hello, is there something to stop it from accidentally cutting into the concrete and breaking the blade? I want to buy it but scared I might do this by accident

My string trimmer is way better to edge a property. Edgers are messy and expensive
