Electronic Gadget Reviews

You’ll get great results with this Black & Decker heavy-duty Edge Hog landscape edger, one of the easiest-to-use pieces of equipment we’ve come across. You’ll be thrilled with how quickly you can get to work, as assembly takes only a few minutes. This is an electric model, so you’ll need an extension cord and an electric outlet handy, but you won’t have to deal with gas or oil. And it’s so quiet you can edge at any time of day–even early Saturday mornings–without worrying about waking up the neighbors.We found the Edge Hog has plenty of power in its 2-1/4-horsepower motor for both edging and trenching, and it’s easy to switch from one to the other by simply raising or lowering the edge guide. The edger weighs only 12 pounds, which allows for easy transportation and great maneuverability around curved paths, but makes it more difficult to maintain a straight line when you’re tackling a lawn that hasn’t been edged in a while. If you’re digging out quite a bit of dirt along with the edge you’re creating, it takes some effort to keep the unit stable.

Undoing a screw toward the front of the edger and raising or lowering its leading wheel easily adjusts the depth of the edge groove you’re making along with your edge. The unit can also be adjusted to fit the height of the user more comfortably by changing the angle on the guide handle. The blade requires only a pull of the trigger to start instantly and, unlike many gas models, stops as soon as the trigger is released—an important safety feature.

From the Manufacturer
Is there a Hog in your yard? Well there oughta be! The Edge Hog 2-in-1 Landscape Edger (LE750) offers versatility and increased power to create perfectly manicured lawns around sidewalks, driveways, curbs, and patios. The edger feature has the ability to tackle tough overgrowth along hard surfaces creating a defined trench between the grass and the surface. The exclusive Pull-Up Edge Guide converts the edger into a landscape trencher. The landscape trencher is powered by a 2-1/4 hp* high torque motor to shape gardens, shape tree borders, install outdoor lighting or install underground invisible dog fencing. The 3-position blade depth adjustment provides depth of cut at 1, 1-1/4, and 1-1/2 inches to maximize the control of the trench depth. Weighing in at 12.4 pounds, and possessing a three-wheel design provides lightweight comfort and balance while edging. The 7-1/2-inch hardened steel blade’s counter clockwise rotation throws dirt and debris away from the operator leaving a crisp edge on the trench. A built-in cord retention secures the extension cord for increased safety and continuous edging with no interruptions. The assistance handle can be attached on the right or left side allowing for variations in user preferences. Tool-free assembly. 30 day no-risk satisfaction guarantee and full two-year warranty. *hp ratings equivalent to gas engine at peak torque.
