Just got one yesterday from Home Depot. Tried it out and I'm very happy with it. This thing does the job and does it very well. Just as good as the more expensive ones.

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

Yea that’s what I’m saying. Affordable tool for home owner. No need for gigantic one. Good point and good luck to you.

[@anthonybrown9832]

Yes it does. I was thinking about investing in the more expensive brands, but no need this one gets the job ✅

[@ItsKibet]

I have had the same edger for over 8 years. This thing is a beast. Used it to lay down the invisible fence for my dog collars and the edging of my lawn.

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

Wow! 8 years looks pretty good investment !!! You know I have used it to dig some line in my yard to conceal cable for fountain. Thanks for comment.

[@brianbrian9696]

Thanks for the video. I just got one of these and have never used one before, so I'm thankful for the demonstration. Your yard looks good too.

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

Oh nice! I promise you will not regret this. It’s great tool and will last for years of you take care of it. Thanks for the nice words ;)

[@GersonSouza1971]

Thank you for sharing your experience with this edger, your video helped me deciding to buy it.

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

I'm glad this helped a lot of people. G luck!

[@dangrimland3427]

I got my first edge hog in 1999. It lasted up until last week, when finally the motor started smoking cutting some thick wet grass. I'm glad they are still making them and this one looks much improved with improvements automatically erasing mud clog and more powerful motor. The first one needed new start switch at least twice about every 7 years. I used it at least 15-20 times per year.

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

Very informative comment. Thank you so much.

[@CocoChanelle-1]

Sounds like you got your money worth’s and time saved out of it though.

[@LonestarYaYa]

Thank you! This video is exactly what I needed to purchase. This end was so satisfying.

[@LonestarYaYa]

I did purchase and love it. So easy to use

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

@@LonestarYaYa You are very welcome and thank you for watching the video. Also glad you have got this amazing little edger! G luck.

[@maryajones3147]

This is a lot of work initially. When completed it looks really neat

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

Thanks for the support

[@cwrobinson6363]

Thanks a lot. I am going to use my edger in the morning. I am not afraid now.

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

You got it buddy, it is so easy to manage and use. Make sure the loan soil is dry to prevent sticking in the razor. Good luck.

[@thurm101]

The “BLOWER” makes it all come together!!!!!

[@janetkightlinger2648]

Thank you for the video. I purchased one of these because trying to edge. My yard was killing my back. I’m hoping that it does what needs to be done. My driveway has so much overgrowth. The former owner didn’t do anything for probably 10 years.

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

Good luck :)

[@jockellis]

Got mine out of storage after years of using string trimmer then watched your video. Good job. Hope you followed this by disposing I’ve your refuse.

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

Wow! That’s warmed my heart! I’m glad my video helped in showing some fast track of using this edger. Keep it up and good luck to you sir :)

[@TheMeanArena]

Got one last week at Lowe's for $90, works perfectly fine. Just makes the job easier and to think I used to do this manually with a shovel.

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

Great job. I did a lot of research on this and found it great for the price and fits my home yard use.

[@cls52766]

Thank you for the video just ordered mine and excited to use

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

You are very welcome, thank you for watching the video.

[@marktaylorp]

The older models have a door that opens covering the blade. The unit gets clogged with dirt- it’s supposed to be a safety thing. I see yours is open letting grass and dirt to clear out this getting a better cut and not have to struggle- I’m going to modify mine to open up blade area-

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

Perfect!

[@scottlloyd9558]

I have both this Edge Hog and the Black & Decker Grass Hog string trimmer (GH900). I haven’t used the Edge Hog in several years, because the string trimmer works so much more efficiently for edging when I rotate it to the vertical position and use the built-in wheel to move it along the concrete edge. Lighter and easier to maneuver as well. I’d probably need the Edge Hog for trench digging, but I almost never do that.

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

Nice!

[@CarterShow]

That looks really good. I need to get one! Thanks!

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

Good luck. You will not regret it.

[@ROMANS.CHAPTER8.38-39]

HOW ENCOURAGING..... I HAVE A HOG BUT COULDN'T GET THE RESULTS. I SEE HOW YOU WENT FORTH AND BACK... TECHNIQUE, TECHNIQUE AND TECHNIQUE! I'M CONFIDENT I'LL GET GOOD RESULTS KNOW, THANK YOU SO MUCH. SUBSCRIBING TODAY, THANKS AGAIN. 🙏🏾🧘🏽🙏🏾

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

You are very welcome. Also, you can get better than my result if you do yours while the soil is dry for at least 3-4 days. Mine was a bit wet though. Good luck.

[@chiltonj]

Purse pants - check Crocs - check B&D Hog - check I just replaced my hog with another one after 8 years. It's a workhorse. Once you get that first cut through which can take some work, the rest is easy and fast. Great video. Thanks for posting.

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

Glad you enjoyed my video and my work outfit LOL, ... Wow! I was thinking the same yesterday when I did my yard edges this machine worth the money and could last really long and boom you just confirmed it may last for years (in good hands) . Thanks for your advice!!!!.

[@beautifullyblessedbygod740]

Nice! Thanks for the video. I'm going and buy one.

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

You will not regret it my friend. This little investment will last for years.

[@zbvtools9386]

I like mine too, good tool. The power and quick start easily make up for the AC cord handling.

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

Perfect. Thanks for sharing the info!

[@RockstarsandMonsters]

When he started I was like, "I hope he uses a blower after." Did not disappoint. 😍

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

Yea lol, it is much cleaner finish with the blower. Thanks

Nice real time review!

Thank, I'm also working on new videos.

[@jashaebrown7263]

Yes you did a amazing job

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

Thanks Jasha, I appreciate it!

[@mikehampton1033]

Awesome video, answeredall my questions

[@l9ikjam]

For the first edge after winter I usually go over the edge first with a trimmer then use the edger. The first time using my edger was back breaking and took a loooooong time. Now that I use my trimmer first me and the edger don't have to work as hard

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

Wow ! great notes. Thank you for sharing this in my channel comments.

[@a.w.s.9227]

What kind of trimmer? I am a first timer and it has been many years since this lawn was edged! Struggle bus over here lol

[@galaxy333]

Thanks for your video. I need one of that good tool for my garden work.

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

You will not regret it. This is very nice home size use. Good luck

[@galaxy333]

Yea, I ordered yesterday.

[@tplus3017]

Just ordered this and a few extra blades just in case. Looks like it does the job fairly well.

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

G luck. It is still working for the 3rd year very well.

[@tplus3017]

@@DIYJohnsVideos Wow. Just got it, put it together and because the warmer weather as arrived I tried it out. This thing is great. It cuts through sod with ease. As you stated hopefully I will get a few years at least with it. Didn't cost much.

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

Make sure to use it when the loan is dry at least for 3 days ;)

[@a.w.s.9227]

​@@DIYJohnsVideosmy lawn is so dry its rock hard, is there a reason it has to be dry? I was thinking of wetting it

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

It will avoid sticking mud to the blades

[@Skittlesskittles-om6hp]

Hahaha funny I use blue crocs and shorts and my neighbor says “You’re crazy”...😱😱😱 So it’s funny to see someone else do the same. Except my hat is green camouflage..👍 Your edge turned out nice. Nice work..🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

I'm glad I've found CROCS supporters in here LOL, I may start my "CROCS Lovers" KZbin videos. Thanks for comment!

[@jarvellwilson2428]

WOW Fantastic Job🤙

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

Thank you fella!!!

[@coldramentpm1013]

looks great

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

Thank you ;)

[@twoawesomedogs]

Can you guys do a demo of the trenching feature? I need to redo my garden bed edges because the grass has grown over and made them a mess, but I'm not sure if I should use the edger or the trenching feature. I think I have a Craftsman though.

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

Will pass your idea, sure!

[@philcore4759]

very satisfying to watch lol

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

Very glad to hear that Lol enjoy!

[@twoawesomedogs]

yep, LOL. oddly satisfying

[@beautyinsimplicity3461]

I got this one because my mower is gas and the smell of the gas is gross it comes with a two year warranty and the warranty you can purchase is two years it cuts nice and deep on my Bermuda grass

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

Hi, I'm glad you get your new electric edger. I believe it is very important tool in the DIYers house. I used to use weed-eater trimmer to do my yard edging and I have to do it every time I cut my lawn because all it does is cuts the grass edge without digging deep to make the gap between the lawn yard and the concrete pavement edge. I'm using my edger every month now just to re-dig the edge and clean the gap also trim the grass edge nicer than the weed-eater trimmer. Good luck

[@acomment2242]

Are you still there? Firstly thank you for the video, it helps a lot. Secondly, what happens if you hit a rock or the concrete on the edge of the path? Finally, are safety glasses required? Thanks in anticipation.

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

Sure! But always wear safety glasses gaggles.

[@brokesaturdays8347]

seems to work best pulling the edge instead of pushing

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

Actually I had to go back and forth because I learned later the soil must be dry for better result.

[@SUBxZEROxIRAQ]

Wow that’s awesome 👌

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

Thanks :)

[@Crossword131]

I have one and I'm fighting tough caterpillar grass. Can't seem to get these kind of results.

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

Make sure the ground is dry. Wet soil is hard to get result.

[@phpprodesign]

will this dig thru sand/dirt - i want for a trencher to bury wire and pex 1/2 inch

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

I have tried it when I mad a deep line to bury a pvc and was good enough to do the job. Wait for the soil to be super dry for better result.

[@AllThingsRenStimpy]

Just grabbed one at a yard sale for 10 bones.

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

Wow good deal lol

[@yeniferdelaguila5398]

Es solo para hacer bordes ??? O que otro uso

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

It is inly for borders

[@Link7029]

how do you keep the blade from hitting the sidewalk?

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

There is an edger metal adapter on the side if the blade you will need to adjust.

[@davidandadamplaygamesphelp3601]

What depth did you set it at?

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

I set it to the first depth for edging

[@grapesoda3921]

Just picked one up at Home Depot for $35.98

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

Wow! That’s so cheap for the original price!! U lucky!

[@tommiespencer7829]

Was that a HD special buy sale or a clearance/refurbished price?

[@grapesoda3921]

Tommie Spencer no they matched Lowe’s price

[@MikeJones-tx6iu]

Good video...what setting did you have you blade on ❓

[@brendamurray6073]

I need one of these, where can I purchase one?

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

It’s available online and almost every store like Homedepot or Lowes or Walmart

[@ELCHE1284]

i HAVE THE SAME ONE.

[@Red_Dead_Director]

I like how when the big nasty grass is featured you hear some hip hop - then the cleanup happens - to ... rock music i guess you could call it ... im just gonna be that jagof and say its symbolic of how our class improves over time.

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

I hope you liked it! Thank you for you note.

[@poisongas6033]

I was working on a electric cordless edging tool years ago when one did not exist and back then bowling greens and many other things would have benefited I always regret not taking a loan to take my prototype to marketing especially looking how poor this version is compared to mine from 20 years ago

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

You still have the time, go submit your one! G luck.

[@HIGHGRADECHANNEL]

Shoes and pants bro shoes and pants

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

Yep, very comfy you guys need to try it. LOL

[@lydiasprouls100]

I like your leaf blower more than your edger

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

Yea, Makita is the best, lightweight and very powerful machine!

[@hectorplascencia2271]

Great job, but modern guys don't even have a broom?

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

Blower is easier and more effective for soil, grass, leaves and other dirt on the ground. However, I also use broom sometimes when have small spot or fast job. Thanks for watching.

[@bislig2alabama]

Chinese or American made? Importsnt to me.

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

Someone to do the job for less!

[@soraxas000treyu]

Can this cut thick tree roots?

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

It depends, I've done it with some soft root and works perfect. the performance may vary based on the tree type, root size, soil dry/wet, depth and the age of the blad. Always B careful to test it on small root just for safety. You may also follow the manufacturer standards on below page. servicenet.blackanddecker.com/documents/English/Instruction%20Manual/90579548,EH1000.pdf

[@DCR52]

Video is good but you need to pull the music. We want to see the product not hear some awful music.

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

Thanks for the note, we will consider it for the future videos. Thanks again.

[@loquillaybuena]

I would like know how I know correctly place between pavement and bras...I’m a woman sorry..

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

Very easy with the this edger, it has spacer lock plade and you will be able to set it as your type of edging. You need to check the instruction page in this url. servicenet.blackanddecker.com/documents/English/Instruction%20Manual/90579548,EH1000.pdf

[@michelleguzman3277]

Rory G M whats that supposed to mean, you just took us back a whole century☹️how sad

[@BobSmith-dm3vp]

Looks way underpowered

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

Its for home use, affordable and effective. However, in the video I have used it while the grass soil still wet. For better result, use it while the soil is dry so the digging will be faster and cleaner.

[@bobmiller9313]

Video slightly too long

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

Sorry for the inconvenience, we do this to cover all angles for the test and the result of the test. You could easily speed the video up with KZbin features. Thank you for watching.

[@johndaugherty7779]

What in the hell is the point of the loud crappy music? No comments?

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

Sorry to know that you did not like the music. You feedback is valuable to us.

[@alanibarra9435]

Are you mute

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

No, the video is in full sound. Please check your device sound control. Thanks

[@ropeysubstance1719]

music ruined the video sorry

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

Sorry :(

[@AmericanConstellation]

Junk...Get a gasoline stick edger. You'll love it. No chords....and more power...very fast.

[@TheMeanArena]

And more expensive too. This works fine for the $90 price tag.

[@AmericanConstellation]

@@TheMeanArena Yep...I still have that one. I just have a big yard and I'm tired of lugging around the extension cord...

[@DIYJohnsVideos]

Good for the price and average home size like mine. Not everyone can spend $300 for gasoline edger. Electric edger still a good choice for every homeowner. Thanks

[@cameranmanner4701]

battery powered ones are available. I think Ryobi has detachable base unit that you just insert into the top shaft the battery trimmer. I think the attachment works with gas timmers as well.

[@paulsmusicballsmusic531]

What's a CHORD ?
