Tools and Hardware Reviews of Troy-Bilt Edger Attachment TBLECustomer Review: Great edger, just takes some getting used to. Summary: 4 Stars
This was the first attachment that I purchased for my 27cc 2-cycle trimmer. I've always used purpose built edgers in the past so I was a bit skeptical on this. After purchasing my first home on a corner lot with a wrap around sidewalk and extra long driveway, it quickly became apparent that I needed a quality edger. After dropping almost $400 on a new lawn mower and trimmer, another $200 on a gas edger was not in the cards so I decided to give this attachment a try.
On my first use, I found the rubber flap on the back of the guard was annoying. I couldn't see the edge and it seemed to just be a pain dragging along the concrete. The solution - unscrew the bolts and take it off. I also had to adjust the height to it's highest setting. Anything lower, and the trimmer would bog as it tried to dig into the dirt.
Other things to complain about are the vibration (as others have said) and the awkward balance of the unit. The vibrations take a little getting used to but they don't bother me anymore. Work gloves could help those that are sensitive to the shaking. The balance isn't so bad once you get it rolling on concrete although I normally find that I've got to rest my arm on the plastic cover over the trimmer motor to make it comfortable to hold as I'm edging.
I haven't tested other edger attachments but I would assume that you're going to have the same issues. At the end of the day, I love how this unit performs. The edge that this tool gives me is neat and sharp! I get complements all the time on my lawn and one of the main reasons is the perfect edge that this attachment makes for me.
Description of Troy-Bilt Edger Attachment TBLEThe Troy-Bilt 7-1/2-inch blade edger attachment is a convenient add-on tool that turns any attachment-capable lawn trimmer into an edger using the simple and secure click-to-lock attachment system. It produces beautifully defined borders along driveways, walks, and flower beds using a 7-1/2-inch blade made of hardened steel for durability. Additionally, the blade depth is adjustable up to 2-1/2 inches. A constant torque gearbox keeps plenty of power flowing to where you need it, while a large guide wheel keeps the edger on track to create smooth, even edges. The edger attachment is covered by a 2-year limited warranty.
