Greenworks 80V All-Terrain Brushless Edger, 8" Steel Blade, 2.25" Pro Depth & Tool-Free Adjust, 27cc Gas Power Equivalent, Battery and Charger Not Included

WOW! I bought a new house a couple of months ago, and the landscaping company overlapped the edge of the driveway with the sod. I've bee trying to trim it back with my string trimmer, but the results were less than desirable. I got my new edger today, and I am astonished at the results! ruler straight edging, 2 1/2" deep and 1/4" wide. PERFECT! . . . and the whole front yard took less than 10 minutes! The edger is very powerful - it easily cut through the sod, deep into the dirt underneath leaving a nice clean edge. My neighbor has a lawncare company, and he was watching me. He came over and said he was going to get one for his jobs, as it is much faster and easier to use.

Since I already have and like the Greenworks mower, string trimmer and blower it only made sense to get the edger. Even better that I didn’t need to buy more batteries. I tried another name brand electric edger and returned it for not holding a charge. This one works great! There’s charge left in the battery after everything has been edged. I was concerned how easy it would be to control but fell in love with it first time I used it. To use just pop the battery in, flip the thumb lever, squeeze and edge. Not as noisy as gas powered equipment and no cords to pull. Feels sturdy in my hands and a good weight that’s enough to not pop up if it hits something but not too much to be heavy to carry back to the shed.

This review is for the 80v pro brushless edger as I know sometimes these reviews end up on the wrong product. I must say I was impressed with this edger. I only recently took an interest in actually maintaining my yard after looking at it one day and realizing it was one of the worst in the neighborhood. I have several 80v Greenworks products (mower, weed eater, blower) and have been happy with all of them. I had never edged my concrete in the five years I've lived here, so I was a little concerned a battery powered edger wouldn't be up to the task. Anyone that has edged after years of not doing it knows, it's really hard on the blade and the edger to trench down into the dirt and create the edge in the grass/dirt. That said the 80v edger worked really well and really quickly. There was only one spot where the edger bogged down to the point of shutting down and that was likely because I was going too fast. It started right back up and finished the job.

Edging was quite a job because I had to do it with a hand tool. I have quite a few Greenwork tools, so I decided to purchase the edger. It works great and I am in general happy with it. The three downsides for me are that tool is quite heavy when it also has the battery in it, that the metal blade decreases in size rapidly because of the friction when edging near concrete, and that the wheel is in such a position that I have to bend substantially while the blade does not edge deep enough so that I have to lean the tool on the metal strip at the bottom of the tool.

This Greenworks 80v edger is fantastic. I was surprised at how sturdy and rigid the shaft is - much more so than the very much more expensive Stihl Brushcutter I used for years. I like the adjustability of the blade depth and the power is impressive. You will get more run time with higher amp batteries - I have both 2.0 and 2.5 amp batteries, but if you have multiple batteries and chargers (from acquiring multiple tools) you will never be waiting for a battery to charge. If you have only purchased Greenworks tools, then you are golden. BUT HERE IS THE RUB IF YOU, LIKE ME, THOUGHT THEY WERE STRAIGHT-ACROSS COMPATIBLE WITH THE SAME LINE OF TOOLS THEY MANUFACTURED FOR LOWE'S UNDER THE KOBALT MONIKER AND BLUE COLOR, AS DIFFERENTIATED FROM THEIR STANDARD BRIGHT GREEN. One of the reasons I went ahead and committed to buying the Kobalt line of 80v yard tools was because Greenworks made them and I figured that it would be a long-lasting and stable design platform, being the same 80v system across two different brands. Then Lowe's dropped the 80v line. I was able to get a few more of their tools for great clearance prices and looked forward to switching over to the complete line of Greenworks 80v tools. was very happy to be able to order their edger because it's the exact same power system - just that all of my gear is Kobalt blue. AND HERE IS THE DEAL WITH THAT: They are different. The Kobalt 80v battery will not fit/slide into the Greenworks 80v battery compartment/housing (*as manufactured). - I guess I shouldn't have been surprised - and it could have been Lowe's that required that the stuff made for them specifically would be incompatible. But since it's the same power system, I wondered what the difference was and if I could work-around their obstructionist corporate bs. What I discovered was that the battery compartment on the tools have two long molded channel-guides (male) that match the two long molded (female) channels in the batteries. The vertical placement of the bottom 'rail' in the tool/compartment is positioned in a slightly different spot between the Kobalt and Greenworks 'brands'. But this actually works, because I just used a hand chisel and removed the 'bottom' rail from the Greenworks tool/edger. WA-LA - EUREKA!!! It worked great! It's a great fit, the top rail is more than enough to hold the battery stably in position and the 'lock' mechanism functions perfectly! I am looking forward to buying more tools in the Greenworks 80 volt line without having to replace all of the Kobalt tools I already paid for AND ESPECIALLY the rediculously expensive batteries...

Powerful and easy to use, this edger will cut through anything and everything. I tried the Dewalt but it was frustrating to use - at only 20 volts it was constantly stalling and choking on my thick lawn. This 80 volt Greenworks is as powerful as a gas edger but light and no gas/oil. No back-and-forth. One pass and its quick. Very good purchase and highly recommended.

A little heavy, but a beast works great

Great edger for sure, better than my gas powered for sure

This does a very very nice job. Impressed.

This stick edger is amazing! Light and easy to use. My neighbours have seen me using it and have asked to borrow it. I have the 80v self propelled lawnmower and love it as well! Great job GREENWORKS!

This is the 3rd piece of equipment I have purchased from Greenworks. It takes me less than 10 minutes to fully edge my lawn. With the electrical cord edger it took me 25 minutes. Fast, powerful and easy to use. Great addition to my string trimmer and blower. Greenworks 80v Pro equipment is the only way to go. I highly recommend them.

It’s a edger, so does what does but also ( I hope) I can put another larger blade for brush.
