Hello
beantin, Millzy and BruceMany thanks beantin for using the gallery system and hosting on our server.

being asked by popular image hosters.
I will add a few points about your posts: -Or has this type of edger been made redundant by the modern line trimmers, which can be used for more tasks than just edging
I guess this style is better referred to as a path edger; as distinct from Line Trimmers.
Line trimmers were introduced in the early 1970s, and most of the tradition power
edger was obliterated. The line trimmers were particularly good at grass/wall boundaries,
and were much cheaper.
However the powered path edgers have survived - but more-so in a niche market.
They are much better for grass/pathways and produce a cleaner, more straight cut.
Millzy has given good advice: -
If you have a lot of pathways then the path edger is a good investment.
For most domestic edging, line trimmers are today's choice.
What things should be checked before making an offer? Are there common faults or items that give trouble on the 38? Also are the SB 38 edger reliable and easy to use?
I'm not good at some of this, but ...
We have received no negative comment from users about the design.
It's a simple, reliable design, and easy to use.
The other good thing is that the Model 38 may be fitted with blades or wire brushes.
Blades are good for straight edges, wire brushes for curvy pathways.
Hope this helps----------------------------
