ISO an Edger. What Should I buy?

If it's legitimately a lot of edging, I'd want something like this.



But I have the Echo powerhead, so I as bale to just buy the edger attachment to go with the weedeater.

I have a 60V Greenworks edger and I just use my Echo weedeater. Much faster.

If you can edge it a good bit and stay on top of it with a string trimmer, it'll be fine. Problem is when it overgrows, you go through way too much string.

Get an Echo stick edger, PE-2620 is a great machine and the Shindaiwa 262 is a carbon copy so go with either for whichever you find cheaper. I have Stihl Kombi systems and they've worked great for years too but no sense in switching to a brand just for one piece of equipment.

My problem with my current setup is it already shuts down if I have it rotated too long doing the edging. it's more of a 1st world problem, I also like the the look of a fresh edge with a legit edger. I can at times get a little off line and go too far in and I don't get the straight line I want. I am going to have a lot more driveway and sidewalk edging at new house (corner lot). I think I'm going to go with Echo edger. Also going to check out the electric options mentioned.

I have an echo pe-225. Yeah you can get an “acceptable” edge with a string trimmer but with an edger you can walk and hold it one handed and get the most crisp edge you can imagine.

The wall behind ones are so over rated. I used one for years that I inherited and when I switched to a pole edger I realized how much of a hassle the walk behind was having to lug it around and store it. Plus tough to edge tight or uneven edges.

Jokes aside, I general edge 2-3 times a year. Once real good at the beginning of the mowing season and another time mid way through. The rest of the year I maintain with the weedeater.

Mainly just use the edger to get a good "trench" started.

I bought my mom a Troy Bilt one like this. One where you could put a drill bit in the head and pull the trigger and it would crank it. It's pretty nice. She loved doing the yard and using a regular edger was starter to be too hard. This was perfect.

She passed away so I had it at my house and gave it a shot this year. The only downfall was it was a little slower going, I kind of had to roll it back and forth to get a good cut, almost like it didn't have as much power. And cutting out by the curb was a bit of a pain because it was off balance.

I think I'd like it better if I had a longer driveway and no curb.

Echo pe-225 owned it around 15 years no problems.
Change the blade every year and edging is super fast.
