Does it edge well? I need to edge a rather long line of grass meeting curb. My previous cordless trimmer/edger couldn't handle the job.

If you disable the guard so the guard can't keep cutting the line shorter . Then you attach.080 line to the unit , it will mimic a gas weedeater .You must wear goggles as with any weed eating job . You can wrap the .080 round the spool only in short lines or it will weigh the motor down .I do not recommended this ! it can void the warranty or be dangerous . That's how I do that myself . It has a strong motor in it .

Mine did not come with a guide so that it depends on your skill to keep a straight line I suppose. I use a BD edger for that purpose.

Yes it can edge well. I use a thicker cordage for the thick weeds in my yard and it works well. Just realize the battery may wear out within five minutes or so.

It's ok if it's the only thing you've got. It will rotate upside down for edging but debris flies all over; also not much on the item to help guide when edging. It does a superb job trimming. Battery lasts for my entire yard, which is very large, and if it does run out it only takes a few hours for a full charge. This is probably one of the best tools I have ever bought.

You don't have to worry about this blade cutting any type grass - I have cut 1/2" saplings with it, BUT they do say to use it horizonally only, not for use as an edging tool.

While it may cut weeds and brush and a variety of other things it's really a hedge trimmer and designed just for hedges. I can't see any practical reason to need the various features like the extension or angle for anything other than a tall hedge. It is perfect because I can keep a 10'+ high hedge trimmed without a ladder.

Yes. Yes I have. I lowered the blades and it did not make a difference. It seemed to barely cut anything and when opening the grass catcher it had almost nothing in it. I ended up going back to gas and couldn't be happier. I bought a troy built with a grass catcher for 199 and love it!

I would have answered sooner but I had to find out for myself. I just finished cutting all my ornamental grasses with it. Easyest job I've ever had, smooth as silk. I will cut my grasses with the G-MAX from now on. Thanks for the idea. Don

I'm not sure about the edge trimmer, I can only say it has worked extremely well with my 18V B&D; leaf blower. I would definitely buy it again.

I'm so use to this cordless that all I do is turn the bottom for "some" edges like around boulders in my yard. Never used it any other way because I don't have anything to really edge such as the photo shows the brick walkway. The motor lasts a long time. I have two of these as each battery only lasts me about 15 minutes due to some heavy weeds. I suppose I could have just bought 2 more batteries. It does cut through thick stuff. I love this weed whacker!

Mine cuts thick grass without even noticing. It does fine with any height lawn, but it absolutely does not cut tall grass. For example, once your lawn starts putting up seed stalks, this mower will not cut them. It is great for keeping my lawn in shape, but I have to mow on schedule or 'sports' start sticking out of the lawn.

It does seem that the motor is not a strong as it should be. It only cuts grass up to a short level. If you miss cutting for a period of time it will shut off. And this was in the first few months last year.

Blade mower is much better when cutting thick grass and when the lawn is essentially flat. This mower struggles in areas where grass is thick.But this mower cut as well as any electric trimmer/edger without tiring your arms and shoulder. I love it because I have a rocky and uneven lawn which is impossible for blade mower. Battery is decent - I have five of them because of possessing other Black & Decker cordless equipments - more than enough to finish my lawn.

I didnt like my worx trimmer because in order to get a nice clean edge you had to stay in one place too long then the trimmer would need to be recharged before I could finish the yard, and I dont have a large yard. The features sound good, the way you can position it and it is light weght. I ended up buying another trimmer from Sears. I was not happy with the worx trimmer. It is now a fixture in my garage.

Dear Batty, this is a very weak edger/trimmer. Tough grass (concrete or no concrete) is too much for this edger/trimmer. We returned it for a refund and would not recommend this unit to anyone. Hope this helps.

No. It is only an edger. Does a great lob ob edging though. Sounds like you need a tiller.

I use another trimmer for edges but I don't see why it wouldn't create a great edge. Only concern with edge trimming is that the blade is very wide, not ideal for curves/bends in the hair line. Hope that was helpful.

It cuts well everything I came across in my lawn in SE USA, including crab grass...UNLESS it gets too tall. If it gets too tall the steel blades don't catch all the grass blades...cutting 60% maybe. So you have to make another pass &/or do this trick: in one motion push to get the blades spinning as you tilt one wheel up from the ground (to attain height) and push over the offender...it works every time. But doing a whole lawn like this would be tedious... Just cut the grass b/f it gets too high and you'll enjoy using this much more than a gas powered mower. I certainly enjoy using it. When I let the grass/weeds get too high...it takes more passes, etc., but then I just take a deep breath and remind myself that it's just a little exercise. I regularly let it get too high and it manage to cut it down.

as long as you use it like you would a regular type of mower (keep your lines straight, mow in rows) it is fine. My lawn was long the first time I did it so it took a little bit to get used to, but you can't tell the difference in my opinion. You can also adjust the string height in mower mode. Hope this response is helpful.

I like my Worx but I have a small yard to mow. I've never tried to stand it on end. I haven't heard too many good things about Black & Decker especially the batteries. That was one of the reasons I went with the Worx as it charges quickly and is easy to handle. If you don't like it you can always return it.
