This tool may not get used every week, but it is one that I will not be without. In fact, I have just purchased my 3rd one because it keeps disappearing! It makes trimming the yard almost fun it is so easy to use and makes such a big differance in the appearance of your yard and garden. I am 65 years old and not inclined to do yard work unless it is very easy, and I almost can't wait for the grass to grow so I can use my trimmer again. My son also uses it to dig a trench in which to lay wiring or pipes underground without having to dig with a shovel. I recommend the Steppin' Edger to everyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars 35 NEGLECTED FEET IN LESS THAN 30 MINUTES, May 25, 2007

I am NOT a company hack. I am a homeowner in Missoula, Montana. I subscribe to a number of gardening magazines and saw that a tester at one of the magazines said this was a remarkably effective tool. Perhaps on very dense grass it is ineffective or perhaps the unhappy reviewer below used it incorrectly. For me, it was a great problem solver & I wish I had bought it years ago.

We had not edged the lawn along our driveway for over 10 years. I bought this tool and was able to edge about 35 feet in less than half an hour. We have very stony glacial soil in our yard and I would say that our situation was about as challenging as this tool will normally face. I was truly amazed that it was so fast and effortless to take care of this neglected chore. I will do it every year from now on and I am sure it will take even less time. A winner of a "gadget".

I did note that a reviewer before me said this edger was effective but became bent. I'll keep that in mind and try to prevent that from happening to mine. It is worth it nonetheless because the alternatives would be more costly or time consuming than buying a new one occassionally.

A few years ago, I got my first house and the yard desperately needed to be taken care of. My old man was such a nitpick when it came to his yard and I never saw much point in that. That is, until I got my own yard. Edging was always one of those things I thought was worthless. Again, until I got my own yard. I happened to run into this while at Home Depot and it looked rather interesting. It was on sale, so I bought it and immediately jumped on my yard. This little guy did a BEAUTIFUL job on my sidewalks and front walk. So much so, I got a lot of my neighbors starting to ask who did my yard! It provides such a clean cut and doesn't take a lot of effort to use. What a backsaver! I just got though using it on my mother's yard and was still happy 4 years later! The blade periodically needs sharpening to give a nice clean cut and the step pivot needs to be oiled every now and then. Aside from that, this thing needs no attention. The blade on mine has a lot of scuffs and nicks from scraping the side of sidewalks with it, but it has no rust or corrosion of any kind on it. Pretty surprising for the abuse I've put it through. So if you're thinking you want a nice clean edge on your property and don't want to spend a lot doing it, this little guy is a good way to do it. It's a lot better than spending hours breaking your back with an old-style blade or worse, paying someone else to do it...
