I am so happy with my new tool! It was easy to put together, and to use. It is lightweight. I am an able bodied 66 year old lady and I love this! It edges real nice! I wanted to mention one thing. I had read some reviews where people were asking what kind of extension cord to use with this. It gives specifications on what to use in the instructions, but I also want to mention that I used a 40 ft. Lawn & Garden Cord, 16/3 Medium Duty in case anyone was wondering. It worked fine with no problems at all. The instructions that came with this edger are thorough and it would be prudent to read them thoroughly before you operate this.
