A blade edger, also known as a stick edger, is used for trimming along sidewalks and possibly garden beds.

Power and size: Blade edgers come in a variety of sizes. The unit weight goes up with the horsepower. If you are blade edging regularly, a lighter model is suitable. You will need a heavy-duty model if you take on jobs where sidewalks have not been edged in some time or if blade edging is a service that you offer less frequently (i.e., monthly or quarterly). In these situations, the accumulation of grass and soil along the sidewalk may require a little more horsepower to cut through.

Consider getting a multi-head tool for maximum versatility, allowing you to use one machine as a blade edger, a hedge trimmer, a pole saw, and a line edger. Each head is sold separately.

Best names: Shindaiwa, Echo, Redmax, Stihl, Husqvarna.

Author’s recommendation: Redmax EXZ2500S-BC multi-head system.
