This compact walk-behind edger has quite a lot of features that make it easy to own and easy to operate. If you want something more precise than a hand-held trimmer, but you aren’t ready to go whole-hog, this 3LUXE “Best Of” is what you need. The folks at Yard Machines, a highly practical bunch, have included a handle-mounted depth control lever, which encourages you to reset the depth and edge that tough little patch in the back as long as you’re at it. There are six settings, with the max depth 4 inches, for the 9-inch blade. The central front wheel makes it easy to round corners and handle other maneuvers if your landscape is unusually shaped. The Tecumseh engine is by the Wisconsin folks who in 1905 designed an engine for Midwest winters. They’re the king of snow blower engines, and they know a heck of a lot about reliability. This edger features a very dependable 148-cc Tecumseh that hums to life every time. All in all, this Yard Machines edger is an able and worthy power tool that promises to keep your lawn looking extraordinarily clean cut, and you looking gratified. Pride is a beautiful thing.
