I have a lot of driveway/sidewalk area in my yard. I had been using a weedeater that had a edging option but it was hard work and the line was never straight. I don't like to use gas operated lawn tools because of the upkeep; especially during the winter down season. The Edge hog worked much better than I expected. It cuts deep and straight with little effort. The only issue I have had so far is the front wheel comes loose every now and then even though I tighten it as much as possible.
