I purchased this edger back in early spring, but due to a broken wrist, and injured shoulder, I did not use this machine until last Saturday. The machine is very easy to operate, heavy enough to hold it on track, but not so heavy I couldn’t handle it. What a pleasure it was! There was virtually no setup required and within minutes I was walking along cutting a perfect groove along my sidewalk, driveway, and even the curb. The only problem I did encounter was when I got into the thicker growth (2-3″) and the Edge Hog would clog. But it was really my fault.

I’ve had to return one item bought through Amazon for replacement, and that was an easy and excellent experience. I have used this product only once and it is far superior to the Ryobi that I had before it. When trimming denser grass, the guard tends to catch on the grass. I had to fight with the trimmer a few times to push it along my taller edges. On short edges, the Edge Hog just breezes right through. Even with the overgrowth, the Hog managed to cut through and leave a nice edge.

Shoveling snow can give you a good workout but it can also be too dangerous for some people and too difficult for others. Thick snow can fall at almost any time in most areas of the country and a light winter can easily be followed by a snow-filled winter from one year to the next. When winter comes there are few gasoline powered tools that are as valued as a snowblower. There are many different kinds of snowblowers from fully electric to single stage and double stage gasoline powered machines. No matter what type of snowblower you have, there are some general rules on how to operate them to your advantage.

Adding a wooden deck to your house bestows a warm and elegant touch to your house. It will make your backyard a relaxing and laid back zone where you can host family and friends for gathering, celebrations and barbecue. However, although the maintenance is not so consuming if you will neglect it, it will look old and dull and you will no longer enjoy this area. The maintenance is after all very easy: most of the year all you need to do is to sweep the wood. However, if the wood is rotten, you will need to take more extreme measures.
