BLACK+DECKER Edger & Trencher, 2-in-1, 12-Amp (LE750)

Well, I wasn't too sure about the product reading all the reviews with stories of breaking blades, no guide marker stuff, but decided to give the LE-750 a try. Guess what - I ran into the best edger that I have ever used. Even though the cautious side of mine made me get an extra set of blades, I have already completed all the trenching and edging projects on a 3 year old lawn all, in professional quality. The blade refuses to go, it is as good as new. As for the absence of guide, it is way too obvious to know where the cutting blade is when running the edger. It is right under the seam of the blade chamber. I had no problem cutting the sod on the street side in a straight line without causing any sparks. The sparks may come out when your blade hits concrete, but what else would you expect? The product is easy to operate and has enough of oomph to get a trenching/edging job a breeze. The key trick that I found for myself is to lift the right side up, press the trigger, start the blades humming and then slowly sink it at the right spot. This way, the thing holds and doesn't budge left or right. My neighbours are in awe over the finish of my lawn and I tell them, if you like what you see, go and get a Black and Decker for yourself. I am very happy and satisfied with the product. By the way, I don't know what to do with the extra blade that I ordered, because the current one doesn't seem to be in trouble for a long time to come. Wish you luck.

I've had this product for over a year. The Good: It cuts through almost anything, dirt, roots, grass, no problem. The blade settings are easy to change (from edging to trenching). I edge my yard weekly, and also trench-cut around my beds; it takes 2 seconds to switch between the 2 settings. The electrical power also is key, it never has a lack of 'torque' and powers through anything (except for concrete, which I don't plan on cutting, but when edging by the sidewalk, there are some overpours of concrete down in the gap which I don't try to cut through). The wheels are balanced well, so it's very easy to push. The Bad (if you can call it that, since these are very minor nitpicks): You need a lot of extension cord, but that's obvious. The top handle could be a bit sturdier, I have to re-tighten it every few weeks. Comparison to gas edger: I used to use a multi-attachment gas powered edger (with swap out stems for the blower and weed-whacker). The always "ON" power in the B&D edger is far far superior to what the gas powered one could do. I find I spend 1/2 the time with this edger doing the same work. I actually do more work now in less time since I use it for trenching the flower-bed lines now. My multi-attachment gas unit is now just for weed-whacking and using the blower... which also has extended the life of that tool since the edging was brutalizing the internal moving parts and stressing the motor.

I had been using my string edger, (B&D 20V battery) but when I was hurt in a fall, my edging didn't get done for over 5 months! So over-grown in my driveway, walkway, and curb the string edger just could not cut the thick runners of grass. Well, I ordered this one (I REALLY wish they would make a battery-operated one) and it still took a bit of time, it did get the job done.d But does a decent job, sometimes I have to run it twice over the thicker spots. I know that once done and kept up weekly, it will become easier. I'm keeping it and will continue to use it. The downside is carrying and 100' electric cord over my shoulder! I don't like that, it tends to cause me to lose my balance at times. Overall, I love my B&D tools. The next venture with B&D will be kitchen appliances! Just a note on B&D - - - ALL my tools are 20v B&D tools - I still use the stringer for trimming around trees, home, garden, and hard sport to mow. I have the 20v power drill with a whole lot of tools for doing all sorts of things, I have a 20v blower that is wonderful for sweeping the front porch, blowing refuse off the curb and driveway that is powerful. (It even works for drying the dogs! LOL* Lastly, I have the 20v hedge trimmer. It works great for overgrown vines and hedges. I have a huge Confederate Jasmine the during, my lapse has invaded my neighbors' fence, another's garage, and growing forward to invade my back yard and potted plants. This tool is a honey! Easy quick and far enough in front of me that the vines can just fall and I go. Tips: If you go with B&D 20v battery tools it is important to clean them and give them a light spray of WD40 when putting them up. Also, these tools all come with a 20v battery and charger, some have 2 batteries included, but I have 8 batteries so I always have one 'ready to go". All of these are very easy to use, light enough for carrying (I'm 73 y/o). I wish they offered a battery-operated saw for small projects like bookshelves, border fencing, making pallet tables, and other small projects I would like to make for my back yard. One other thing is that all the battery chargers and batteries are interchangeable to each other, but do not buy the battery with the "black" back (others are cream or grey) because I have never gotten it to take a charge, the charger gets hot, and I've tried with all 4 of my chargers and the problem is in the battery! I never sent it back for replacement so I keep in a small box and dead batteries go there for charging but the box keeps my "needs charging batteries separate from the box with "charged and ready".

First the edger works as advertised. I had a battery operated one before and took it back after the first used. Underpowered and light weight. This unfortunately has a cord but works like my old gas engine model. Heavy enough to hold in the path along the driveway sidewalk and street. I have to work on my curves but my straight runs look professional. Now the bad part Assembly. The cord did not and would not push into the handle tube as described in the directions. I had to disassemble the handle and cut close to 10” of excess wire. The wire ends had ferrules to tighten properly into the switch. I did not have ferrules so I had to solder the bare ends to build them up to get a good tight connection in the switch. If the amount of excess wire is typical I would not recommend someone without electrical experience doing this. Return it. I was anxious to use it. Again works very well for intended ourpos once you can get it together 🤔🤗

Easy to use. Gives a nice clean edge to my flower beds. Works very well. Definitely recommend. Way easier then using an edging tool.

少々切れ味は荒いですが芝生のエッジ処理があっという間に出来ます！ エッジカッターなどでの作業量、時間を考えれば買いだと思います！ 日本でも需要あると思いますし取り扱いすれば良いのになぁと思います！

Was using a shovel to edge my lawn. Have a corner property, so it was a lot of work. A friend suggested I look into an edger. Assembly was pretty basic! This handy machine made it a snap! Took a few minutes to get by bearings with operating it, but then it was clear sailing. Great tool! Works very well on city sidewalks and everyone is already commenting on how good the boulevards look!

Another win from Black and Decker. It has good power and works well. Only downside it the cord it needs, but at the price point, its well worth it.

It will turn your yards ar garden beds straight. Makes clean perfect cuts . It will crunch through the ground . It even can be used to lay christilights string under the ground a inch so you won't see the wire . Its a must have tool light weight easy to use and lots of power . The blade is steel and will cut up any ground . Highly recommend tool . Thanks
