BLACK+DECKER 12 Amp 2-in-1 Landscape Edger and Trencher, (LE760FF)

What can I say but WOW! This is exactly what I needed. I tried the wire ones which would tear every 2 minutes but this little power machine did the job. I have a corner house so it's a very big area to do but it was no problem for this machineI would definitely recommend!

I maintain my small yard as long as I'm physically able. I can't really afford a mowing service. The money I would pay a service; I save and buy equipment. This edges my yard beautifully. I use it several times a year to cut through that trailing grass a weed eater can't cut through then keep up the edging with the weed eater/edger. This is actually my second one. The first one I bought lasted 10yrs. Being in a southern state I'm uncomfortable keeping gas around and love my electric edger. It's also quieter than the gas one's lawn services use. I don't disturb my neighbors as much. I have no complaints.

Very good, strong

Works perfect. Great edge trimmer. Very Happy

DOES A VERY GOOD JOB. EASY AND QUICK TO USE.

Probably could've/should've rated this 2 stars yet it works well when it works. I purchased this edger to edge my drive and sidewalks and not for trenching. The edger arrived very quickly after I ordered it (I am not a Prime member so this was a nice surprise). Assembly was easy and straight-forward. The first use went smoothly and the edger performed flawlessly and provided clean, smooth edging. About 20 minutes into the second use I noticed that the edger was cutting and quickly determined that the blade was spinning freely -- fortunately the hex nut was still attached to the threaded shaft. I reviewed the manual that came with the edger, grabbed the correct sized socket and torque wrench. I removed the hex nut, the first washer, the blade and then the second washer. To install I followed the directions ensuring that the flats of the washer aligned with the flat on the shaft and tightened the hex nut to the specified 140 in-lbs. The edger worked well for about 10 minutes and the blade once again became loose. This time I replaced the original blade (which did not need to be replaced from a wear perspective) with a new B&D blade and new washers. Once again I followed the instructions and this time the edger performed flawlessly until about 5 minutes remaining in my edging when once again the blade came loose. my experience has most certainly been frustrating to say the least. one should not need to carry a socket and torque wrench with them and repeatedly need to tighten the blade. So, when the edger performs as intended it does an excellent job at edging; however I have no confidence that this edger will be able to perform as intended throughout repeated uses and more importantly has shown that it cannot complete my edging without requiring tightening the blade (which requires disassembly down to the second keyed washer). Potential buyers should be prepared for this experience and make your decision accordingly. Note: I tried contacting black and decker via twitter (@blackdeckerhome) and never received a response; I could not find a separate customer service/support twitter account. Trying to contact customer service via the phone these days is an exercise in patience to say the least.

This is my second BD edger. The 1st one lasted for many years. Great product!!!

Lots of bad reviews about blade coming loose. So I took it off first and the blade pinch washers were oily. I degreased them then put it back together with blue loctite on the nut and tightened the nut super tight, just did 250’ of heavy sod and no issues so far!PS need 1” open end wrench smd 9/16 box end wrench.
