Yep, I need a "landscape scalpel". I'd love to have this gentleman for a neighbour, I'd volunteer to do his edging as his "student"! Love that reciprocator!!
Can’t beat the finish of a good old fashioned edging iron. Although I do like the look of the second piece of kit that was shown. It would be good for a neglected plot.
It is a very cool thing and lets you cover a huge area. Stay tuned for another pretty amazing tool coming up shortly that you have likely never seen before.
Great video. I would add one option though - the E-Z Trench Bedscaper. It's similar to the Stihl powerhead in your video, but one that you can walk in front of and really focus on getting a straight line, or getting the right curve to your bed. Problem is they are difficult to find. I had to drive 35 minutes to rent one. It has an adjustable height so you can go deep (I went through 2 sprinkler lines - woops!).
Just used a power edger from the tool rental center. Almost like a ditch witch so it’s awesome on flat ground surfaces but if your boulevard strip has any bumps the blade cannot go deep enough. That reciprocating blade is a game changer. Need to get one
Hi just got the Stihl rg-km kombi attachment ( stihls version of the redmax) and it makes the edges absolutely razor sharp....i have the bed redefiner that creates the edge and rg-km that maintains it perfectly every mow....thanks for the tip
Nice video it was great.I would like to see some reviews on Tsurumi submersible water pumps for basements.I looked through your videos could not find one.Thanks again best chanel on Utube !!!!!
There's a lot of smartass people making unnecessary, ignorant comments towards this man that actually showed some very good ways that will make creating a nice new edged line between any surface and the ground from what I understood from the man so why not act like grown ups and show him some common courtesy and respect!!! He did a really good job of showing some technique and ways to make edging your property or someone else's easier and nicer looking, and he was only explaining and giving a quick demonstration also, not what ok need looks like when he's finished!!! Now troll yourself instead of others
Thank you kindly,. I never worry about differing opinions, many people have never even used any of this gear and remain critical but my videos always show the real deal, not just talking but proof in front of your eyes I appreciate you watching and the support.
@@SilverCymbal you're welcome, I try not to say anything generally but you did do a good job of showing different edging blades I've never seen or heard of, plus you said it was only a demonstration, also just a little common sense should help others realize that. I was raised to show respect, and I was born with it in me to treat others with respect and be considerate. There's too much of everyone trying to bring each other down and I am to the point that I just can't take it anymore sometimes. I don't know where people get off thinking they know everything either, because the day any man or woman believes that they are a fool. I can't stand that saying, "Old Dogs Can't Learn New Tricks", it's complete bullshit and I for one try to learn something new everyday. I was a Master Toyota Technician for 16 years before my health caused me to start the process of being placed on disability but I would give anything to go back to work tomorrow and I still do as much as possible along with learning. But glad I could hopefully negate some of the ignorant comments being made, it's got to make it difficult to keep doing the videos sometimes when people are usually just upset with their own lives so they project on to others and no one deserves to be spoken to and treated like that. Keep doing what you're doing my friend and glad I could help hopefully a little
Every time you show a close up of your grass blades I’m envious of how clean cut the tips are. I own a Honda push mower and I can’t get a clean cut. They’re shredded at the tip of each grass blade. I’ve tried sharpening my blades, buying new blades, and tried different cutting heights but nothing seems to help. It’s frustrating.
Hi there, theses are all great tools, however my issue is that i have gravel meeting my lawn area and therefore I'm not sure if any of these would work as the gravel might break the string, or in the case of the other gadgets, the gravel would fly up and be quite dangerous, don't you think? Just wondering if you have any ideas for me. I do like a perfect finish so this does cause me issue
Yes, they clean the edge well but they don't really remove any material. I ended up finding that they are more useful for stone or concrete edging which can be a little time consuming with a string trimmer.
You can buy it at any Stihl retailer. They don’t sell online at all which is weird to me but that’s how they do it. They do make nice tools so it’s worth a trip.
Yes the reciprocator is absolutely incredible against a hard edge like that. Check out this video to see how well it does in that exact situation - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iVnaBCv75p0.html - Thanks for watching and the comment
Try the blade for the echo bed edge redefiner on the kombi edger attachment. It cuts a better bed edge than the stihl. I've got the straight shaft edger for my 130 kombi. It's a beast.
I have ask you five times what type of grass is this.....you have not responded back .....please let me know is the lawn kentucky bluegrass,rye grass or tall fescue. ...it's more beautiful then GCI, conner ward , the lawn nut, and Ryan,....the best I seen on you tube ......
I've watched lawn vids for a decade here and never seen the reciprocator. My imagination is firing with what could be done with that tool. Surely it can't cut dirt and then clip hedges. May I ask what kind of grass you have?
It really can do just what you said. Sadly it never caught on likely due to the price but you see them at golf course too. They should have made a residential version a little cheaper so more people could get it. It's a very slick tool.
@@SilverCymbal Seems still available. Yes pricy for most homers. Probly a must for golf courses. Also good for underwater work like pond edges cattails etc. they say.
HELP I’m not sure if you can help. I would like a suggestion on how to handle problem with a product you reviewed ( and used) on a video regarding battery operated sprayer. Even though you had experienced a problem with your sprayer (YT25E) the company replaced the sprayer immediately. I ordered the same sprayer because of the ease of operation. Well, It appears that the company needs quality control because my order was 2weeks late in delivery and did not contain the lithium battery in the box. Amazon does not carry the type of battery need for the sprayer
OMG I feel like a complete jerk. 🤔My daughter took the sprayer out of the box and put it together checking for all the connections. I don’t believe she knew it was there or she just didn’t tell me. THANK YOU so much, you made my day. Now I need to apologize to Amazon and the sprayer company. Thanks, Teddie Huber
How much abuse can the reciprocate take? I don't see many other videos on RU-vid where someone is just lodging it down into the soil like you are. If you wanted to go deeper, could you just keep cutting? Essentially it's a saw? I have at least 100' linear feet of live edge to maintain and the string trimmer alone makes it too laborious. Deciding between an edger or rotary scissors.
So after a few years with it, this and the power scissors is not fantastic. It does dull out in soil, its best used for pond side cutting since it doesn't throw clippings. Its been a while since this video and my favorite way to trim now is: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Fqe1zPTSCVo.html
Yeah, you look like you would know a lot about paint.... especially how to huff the shit to get high properly!!! Do us all a favor and go walk into on coming traffic that way no one will have to deal with your smartass comments anymore that are beyond neceassry
why are you going backwards? that's very strange to me. I don't think that is the correct way of edging. You have to know where you're going and keeping your lines straight. Sorry, but doing a demo that is incorrect is not very helpful. If your intent was to show difference in equipment, okay I get it. But otherwise bad information and technique not very helpful.
Great question. If you visit some of the pro sites this comes up. Some like to go forward others as backwards. Each feels as you do but there is no right or wrong answer. It’s personal preference
VJ, it's really simple, the arrow walking backwards has the lineup arrow ahead of the edger blade therefore it is much easier to keep the correct line than going forward because you can't see the blade so until you actually know something about what you are talking about have someone just see your stupid mouth shut!!!
@@SilverCymbal we call them lawn edgers here in Australia. I had a look to see whats available in the US which there were not many. I found a Mclane gas powered lawn edger on amazon and that was about it. As a lawnmower contractor i couldn't live without mine. So quick and easy and it comes up a treat. Just not sure why they are not widely used there.
Looks very heavy duty. Power edgers in the US that are wheeled are not common at all. I am not sure why but you don't see many at all, though they would certainly be helpful.
