![]() So, one thing to establish straight away: this edger comes as only the blade – the shaft needs to be purchased separately. It’s especially useful for those gardeners who already own other Wolf Garten products, because this lawn edger head can be fitted onto Wolf Garten’s ‘Multi Change Range’ shaft. The only thing to bear in mind is the handle is not that long – if you’re over 6’ tall you might find that it’s a little on the short side.įor something a little different, there’s the Wolf Garten Lawn Edger. ![]() The tactic is to lift the edger up vertically, and then bring it down with force, saying goodbye to any medium-sized roots as you go. It digs through lawn edges and roots with ease thanks to its sharpened cutting blade and root-cutting teeth, staying sharp for an impressively long time too. Now, that’s not to say that you don’t need to put in a bit of work, but the things that can be achieved with this Radius Garden Root Slayer, with a little bit of elbow grease, will leave you wondering how you ever lived without it.Ĭomplete with a round, ergonomic handle, designed to be comfortable and reliable, this lawn edger also provides 4 x the grip of traditional D-handle tools. Not only does it neaten borders, sitting up there with the best lawn edgers around, it also hacks up roots, obliterating before they even know what’s hit ’em. There are some products that really do live up to their name, and this Radius Garden Root Slayer is certainly one of them. This Spear & Jackson edger isn’t quite as tough as some other models, and its weaknesses become apparent when faced with hard ground or solid roots. Whilst well-suited to creating neat edges, and well balanced in general, you might want to choose a different tool if you’re looking for something that will help you in the fight against roots. It doesn’t have a padded handle, and nor is it ergonomically shaped, so you may find it’s more comfortable to use with gloves over extended periods. Thanks to this edger’s lightweight design, it’s pretty comfortable to use for extended periods, and the wooden handle provides good grip even in the rain. This lightweight lawn edger is made from mirror-polished stainless steel which works in two ways against corrosion: it’s rust resistant, and also prevents soil from sticking to the blade causing damage. ![]() It’s also completely weatherproof, meaning that jobs don’t have to be rained off just because the weather won’t play ball. The Spear & Jackson Lawn Edging Knife is an excellent lightweight tool, weighing just 760g. This model is well suited to creating neat, straight lines, and long arcs, but not smaller curves. ![]() Something else to bear in mind: if you have small, curved edges in your garden – such as flowerbeds – you might be better off with a narrower edger. This Spear & Jackson edger is best suited to use in soft ground as it doesn’t work as effectively on hard soil. On the flip side, the foot ledges are generously sized, making it easy to push the blade into the soil. For those gardeners with larger hands, there may not be quite enough room to hold the handle as one might like. With a comfortable non-slip handle, this edger isn’t too taxing too use however, the T-bar is a little on the small side. The carbon steel head doesn’t add much weight, whilst still cutting firmly into soft ground to create neat edges. The reason it’s so light is that the tubular shaft is made from steel, cutting out the weight that other solid-wood shafts bring. Weighing just under 1 kg, it is a particularly useful item for gardeners who struggle to manage heavier equipment. Spear & Jackson have created an incredibly lightweight tool with their Select Lawn Edging Knife.
