Product Description

Finish Your Lawn with Craftsman’s edger Attachment

Built to easily connect with most attachment-capable gas trimmers, it secures fast, and gets you moving. The edger attachment’s ergonomic design and the 3-3/4 inch guide wheel almost guarantee a straight line, while the 7-1/2 inch steel edging blade delivers a long service life. Simple to adjust, it covers multiple depths and even edges up to 2-1/2 inches deep. Using the power of your gas line trimmer, the blade easily cuts through overgrown grass along sidewalks, driveways and brick walls, keeping your yard the sharpest on the block.

  • The 7.5 in. steel blade provides excellent edging capability
  • The 2 in. blade thickness is durable and long-lasting
  • Adjustable heights gives you flexibility and ensures a straight line
  • Poly Trail Shield blocks debris from hitting the user
  • Easy to maintain and store with the included storage hook
  • Weight: 4.5 lbs.
  • Warranty: 2 years

Very Good Quality Edger
I first bought a Troy Bilt trimmer and MTD edger at Lowes. Took them both back because the TB525 4-stroke didn't have enough power for the edger, but the edger was not designed well either (the rubber skirt drags on the wheel, thus the wheel didn't turn easily, an overall mess to operate). Went to Sears and found their 4-cycle trimmer to be identical to the unit I returned at Lowes, but the edger was visually much better designed and higher quality. In the end, I bought the Craftsman edger (and tiller) attachments, but went back to Lowes for a 2-cycle Troy Bilt trimmer. Since Troy Bilt = MTD = Craftsman, I might as well buy the cheaper and lighter unit (and I got bump feed standard on TroyBilt), but I highly recommend the attachments from Sears - they are differentiated.

I bought this attachment because I thought it would be very easy. It's not for me getting the attachment on and off is very awkward and hard to do. As far as edging it's fair but I have to work very hard at getting a clean edge and sometimes that doesn't work. It doesn't go deep enough or maybe there's something more I should be doing. I made a shoulder strap from an old golf bag and that helped to take some of the weight off my arm it is heavy after while. I'm buying one less combersome. I use the weed wacker all the time and have no problem with that so this will sit now. Anybody want to buy a used one?

Not for rocky soil

Bought the attachment to bury in ground fence system for my dogs, otherwise I have no use for an edger attachment. Works as expected in our soft rock free soil. Does have some vibration when running at lower speeds. When I hit the first patch of rocks it bogged down the trimmer and jumped up out to the ground when hitting the rocks. Other than the issue with the rocks I was quickly able to get the hang of operating the edger and getting a straight line.

I would recommend this product to a friend.

Takes some getting used to

I've only used it once thus far. I find it difficult to get used to with the trimmer. I actually find it easier to edge with the trimmer than with this attachment. I'm sure that the more I use it, the better and more efficient I will become at edging with it. Unfortunately, it doesn't happen over night.

Convertable edger,weed wacker, tiller combo

I've had the edger 5 years and found it to work just fine. Had to replace the blade. Has a LEFT hand screw so it won't fly off while rotating. Love Sears products, always have.

I would recommend this product to a friend.

Works well

Took a little bit to get used to using a gas edger vs. the electric one I had, but once I did this one seems to perform well. The 4 cycle 29cc Straight Shaft convertible I use with it provides more than ample power for the edger.

I would recommend this product to a friend.

edger...by itslelf?

unfortunately, my opinion is skewed by the weedwacker I got to go with this. It seems to do an ok job. but combined with the head unit that the handle would not secure on, it sucked.

I would recommend this product to a friend.

Gets the job done

I like the added cover compared to my older model edger, less "stuff" flies up at me but it does need to be tapped on the ground to clean out the dirt and grass especially if the soil is damp.

I would recommend this product to a friend.
