Tools and Hardware Reviews of Poulan PP1000E 7-Inch Pro Lawn Edger Attachment
Customer Review: I Love Modular Construction
Summary: 5 Stars
The concept is elegant but simple. As manufacturers of lawn care machines (residential grade, that is) have been mostly consolidated, shaft sizes as well as mounting points and patterns are as standardized as they have ever been. With this little darling, you can buy one power head unit (string trimmer with detachable/2-piece shaft), and then add this or other implements as needed. The implement is cheaper than a purpose-built or standalone edger, and when the power head wears out, you can toss it and get another that mates right up to the edger.
Performance is tightly coupled with your power head, so choose that wisely based on weight, power and form factor. The edger's guide wheel supports its extra weight, but this isn't true of other attachments. If you like the power head you have, you're likely to be pleased with it behind this edger as well. Mine works fine with an older 31CC Ryobi which I demoted after buying a commercial string trimmer. I wish it used the bigger (9") blades simply cause they are heavier duty ... still, the 7.5" ones are just fine, and edger blades are relatively cheap. It would take a stronger power head to run an edger with bigger blades anyway. You'll probably wear the blade more on the first edging of the season than the rest of the season combined b/c it's harder to break new ground, ya'know? The visual improvement of edged versus string trimmed is appreciable, and this little implement delivers a professional look, and is quick about it.
For the money, ( approximately $100 less than the closest alternative, $200 less than the "quality" dedicated edger I would've bought ) you can't beat this edger. I use it for the inner and outer edge of my concrete circle drive and both sides of the sidewalk from said drive to my door. By the time I finished using it the first time, I was acclimated to the motions and postures needed to use my setup, I had established my feel and sightline for expedient usage, and was confident this would be a dandy tool. You will find familiarizing yourself with the depth-of-cut-adjustment to be a worthwhile initial expenditure of time. Too shallow a cut necessitates your contorting to edge. ( NEVER adjust moving parts while your machine is running!! ) After the initial annoyance of having to adjust the blade depth to suit my height/power head setup, like I said, it was a dandy. Nothing has happened this summer to contradict that initial impression. I've had some practice, and plenty of opportunity to find weaknesses. This is how I use it:
Total distance: 500+ linear feet
Edging time: ~ 7 minutes
Edging time ( very first pass & acclimation to tool ): ~30 minutes
Edging schedule: Approx. every two weeks. ( As you may surmise, an electric model wasn't an option since I don't have, need or want a 200' extension cord. If you have considerably less to do, or don't already have a compatible gas trimmer, the B&D Edge Hog might be a lead to follow first as an electric alternative. Many feel electrics are less muss and fuss, though I would rather mix a little fuel than futz about with an extension cord all day )
If you need an edger, and would like to spend $60-$80 ILO $200+, I think this is a winning alternative. I have a lot of edging work when I mow, which used to take just over an hour to perfect with a string trimmer - a miserable experience I dreaded. There's no way I'd spend another $200 bucks on a dedicated edger unless I had 10 times as much to do. Spend your bucks on a powerful and reliable power head instead. Cross-reference accepted alternative power heads/engines ( the one you already own may work; most will - attachment is indicated for other makes besides Poulan, though their PoulanPro Series seems to be a good value ). The string trimmer will still work without the edger, and can do double duty, while the mid-grade dedicated edgers are Johnny-One-Notes that introduce another possible point of failure in your yard arsenal. Can you tell I'm pretty exuberant about gaining back that sweaty, awful hour of my life from the string trimmer, and doing so for a savings?
DISCLAIMER: You should know I research and read reviews and excerpts before deciding to invest my time and/or money in a book or product. Your reviews are helpful to me, and I hope mine are helpful to you too. That said, after having read your opinions, I find I am consistently satisfied with my purchases, and thus most of my reviews are positive.
If I fail to recommend a product/book, and/or fail to explain why I like or dislike it, I have not done you any service. I will try to cite evidence, facts/contradictions or at least make a case for personal objections or preferences in my reviews. I appreciate you other reviewers who do the same. Cheers!
