I live in a rental sandwiched between 2 other renters. Although management does do a good job maintaining the grass cutting, they don't keep up on the edging as much as I would like.I'm female, 5'5, 184lbs. I chose this tool because it didn't require gas or electricity to operate. It wasn't difficult to use at all and it did a good job!
I love when I come across a product that is simple and does exactly what it needs to. That's this little edger. No bells and whistles nothing electric or motorized or battery powered. Just a simple and effective way to get sharp edges in your garden, driveway, or anywhere else. Love it
If you're willing to do the hard work and aren't afraid of a few aches in your legs, then I would recommend this. It's good exercise, quiet, reduces your carbon footprint, and once you get into a rhythm, it doesn't take too long to use.
Very sturdy and well-made. It has some heft behind it, so slices through the turf like butter! I was able to straight edge my entire front yard in under an hour, and it has never looked better.
