Craftsman  158cc 4 Cycle Gas Edger- 49 State

For the price, I couldn't be happier. I've had this edger for a full summer and it works great. I did have to return the first two out of the box due to the starter pulley not working. A bit of a hassle but the gave me a floor model and I have been satisfied so far.

This is one Great lawn edger never had a problem with it form day one , and Iv'e had it now for two years . all ive had to do was to replace the blade on it . Glad I bought it .

Easy to assemble and cranked first pull out of box. Must use gas stabilizer to ensure reliability. Plenty of power and provides great straight cut for a well manicured lawn. Curb wheel is a little tricky, but achieveable with balance. I plan to change the blade at the end of the season and keep using until it quits. Much easier to use and saves time compared to using a weed eater for same task. No messy oil or respooling line. I am happy with the purchase. Don't understand the negativity.

Did my homework on edgers and many brands have problems but I found the craftsman 4 cycle edger had the least. So far my husband has edged the whole yard, driveway sidewalk and he is pleased with his new machine. Very easy to assemble and he said a 4 cycle is the way to go. It will be durable and last for years.

I purchased this edger because I was tired of holding my line-trimmer at weird, uncomfortable angles to get the perfect edge. This makes edging a whole lot easier. It's powerful enough to cut through thick grass and it goes deep enough to make a good smooth edge. It cranks right up with no problems. I would definitely buy this one again if I had to but I think this will be solid enough to last a looooooong time!!

I had a Craftsman edger for 30 years and liked it very much. So when it wore out I chose to replace it with a like product. The new one works well except the handle for the drop down wheel is a pain to adjust and could use some review for future construction.

I really dislike lawn work. Tried edging with a string trimmer... what a joke. Gave up until the neighbors gathered with torches and pitchforks. Took the modest hint and decided if I have to edge, I wanted something that would do the work instead of me. Wow! This edger chopped right thru the gnarly, matted, trimmer-busting growth of jungle I had growing over the edges of my walks, driveway, and curb. It was almost enjoyable..... ALMOST! If it can tame my very neglected lawn, you should have a breeze. Get it.

My wife bought me one last year for Father's day. After one year of use, I absolutely love it! It makes quick work of edging and my neighbors are jealous (I do let some of them borrow it)! If there is any negative to the machine is that it sometimes can be a little hard to start. You may have to prime it a couple of times to keep it running, but once started, it works fantastic! I am considering getting one for my 80 year old father this year!

I bought this to replace my 25 yr old Crafts.. edger.I took the first one back because of bad blade handle. I have seen this review before. The curb hopping design makes it impossible for 1 person to set it.Big nightmare. Otherwise OK, but I have a curb.

I ordered the gas edger about 5 weeks ago. I got the first one after 3 weeks and took it out of the box and the handle had been crushed in shipping so I took it back and ordered the same one again. I got the second one and I put it together and the motor was seized up and the starter cord would not retract. I took it back and am waiting for my 3rd edger. Where is your quality control?
