Received McLane edger today -- very fast shipping. Edger does a good job bur the throtle cable assembly and the recoil starter cover are a little "cheesey". Throtle cable broke the first tiem I tried to use it and I had to remove the cover for the recoil starter and bend it back out so the rivets wouldn't rub against the flywheel. Probably are better edgers on the market for the same money. Will think twice before I order from McLane again.

ordered this edger &am happy with it once I made 3 different trips to hardware store to find appropriate stabilizing screws for the handle
I specifically ordered this product because it was made in USA-fooled again! Sure I could have called the company and ordered
replacement screws,but who wants to wait 4-5 more days when it could have been done right the 1st time!
 Great Trimmer, minor issue September 16, 2009

For years I would just use the string trimmer on its side to edge my lawn and although that works I always wanted a better and safer edging system. A year ago I purchased and attachment for the string trimmer and this gives you a better edge but still can be dangerous and can pull when it digs into the dirt. The blade has worn down so I went and purchased a new blade even though my thoughts were to start looking for better alternatives, I could not get the old blade off the attachment after several different ways of trying so I thought to myself, this is a sign that I should get a stand alone trimmer. (Of course my wife wasn't thinking along these lines). I took a look around the standard places, Home Depot, Lowe's and Sears prior to looking on Amazon, which always seems to have the best deals. I read all the reviews for this model and decided to purchase it; I received the product faster that the expected date which was a bonus. Assembly was easy and the engine started up on the first try. I took it out for a trial run and like all the other reviews this product worked great, it gives you a nice clean edge and will save you a ton of time if you have a large area to edge which I do, I have over and acre and I have a lot of flower beds to edge around. I do not anticipate and kick-back or pulling from this machine which eliminates any of my safety concerns. Although you can use this as a trimmer, I don't think this will save you any time, I tried it out but don't think I will be using it as a trimmer, you will still need to use your trimmer to get close to areas which are against vertical items such as foundations or any other structures.
The only issue I have is with the throttle cable, it is very flimsy and actually broke away from the engine area (a plastic piece that connects the cable). I can probably fix this myself as I am pretty handy but it is brand new so why should I have to. The alternative is to just manually adjust the throttle that is located above the choke, in my opinion this is just as simple to do as pushing the little red throttle cable lever. I will give McLane a call to see what they have to say but over-all this is a great edger. I would have given this a 5 star rating if it weren't for the throttle issue.

We love our McLane edger. The entire purchase process was wonderful. The product was delivered as promised and, after slight assembly, worked as advertised. Having used McLane products 20 years ago, we were pleased to see the product quality had not diminished through the years.

After unpacking, the assembly was very easy and fast. The performance is outstanding and this product is the best I have ever had. I will look at this unit for replacement. Bottomline: it now takes less than 20 minutes as opposed to over an hour with my previous edger- an attachment for a line string trimmer.
