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

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.

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.

Great for around the house!

Reliable and easy to use. This is my second purchase and I run the heck out of it.

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.

My previous electric edger was a SunJoe. It finally gave up on me due to overwork and old age. I was completely satisfied with this product and was looking to replace it with the same product. Evidently SunJoe no longer offers this product.I decided to try the Black +Decker just because I know the reputation of the brand. I was not disappointed, in fact I was very pleased with the performance of this edger. It was more powerful and easier to manage while in use. It makes keeping the lawn looking clean cut a breeze. If you are looking for an electric edger I think you will be satisfied with this product.

I chose to purchase the weed wacker/edger because it is one of the lightest cordless options available, which is very important for me. Being 5'3" and weighing 110 lbs, I often find that many edgers and weed wackers are too heavy to use comfortably.I’ve found that this weed wacker is effective at cutting down weeds, and the edger performs admirably, especially for a non-gas, non-electric tool. It suits my needs perfectly as I have a small yard, allowing me to edge all my landscaping and lawn in one go without needing to recharge the battery.If the battery does run out, I appreciate that it only takes about 30 minutes to recharge. Additionally, the option to purchase a second battery or to use interchangeable batteries with other cordless Black+Decker equipment is a real plus. Overall, I am very satisfied with my purchase and would not hesitate to buy it again.
