41273 79cc 4-Cycle Walk-Behind Edger, Red/Black

Runs great!

Great value and quality. Hubs and I put this edger together in about 4 hours. Worked on it the first day in triple digit heat for a couple of hours out in the garage. But on day 2, I gathered all the parts and pieces, took them to the kitchen, and called hubs. He finished it under the AC and we were both much happier. Dang thing started up on the second pull. Awesome. 🤩 Full disclosure, I know Jack about putting stuff together and am not strong enough to start any equipment, but I can read directions and usually find the tools needed. Hubs worked with Special Ed and is very patient, but I’m not. I’m a total geek and have a Master’s in Information Technology and now with AI, I wish I become a plumber or electrician. It’s the tool belt generation, you know.My only complaint is that the instructions need a parts list with pictures of actual size nuts, bolts, etc. Also, one of the pieces was a rod that was painted and I needed a rubber mallet to pound it through the holes. Not that I do any pounding, mind you. The paint made the rod too tight a fit. Really, how hard would it be to have mentioned that? Likely that rod was one which the wheels went on.

The package is delivered as a kit with the parts needed to build an edger. At least the engine is complete. If you are young and agile, you should have it complete and running in under 2 hours. I am old and not agile, and with rest and frustration breaks, it took me 5 hours. Initially, I thought the instructions were fairly good. However, the frustration breaks were to find online photographs that illustrated the actual assembly. You also need metric tools from 8 mm to 19 mm and a few in between. The engine did start right up, and I am grateful for that.

Easy to put together and worth every penny. It is adjustable and cuts through even the hardest ground.

Love it and it is easy to handle. Does a great job doing its thing. Makes for comfortable edging and you don’t have to carry anything.

I used this edger maybe a dozen times over the past year. Engine smoked a little from the start and the compression is low. I should've returned it after the first use but I figured it just needed to break in. Now, it won't start at all. It's getting spark but no fuel. I suspect the carb is gummed up. It's not worth dumping money into it.

Bought this edger a year ago and it works for 1 season. Trying to use it now and it won't run. Always to be a carburator issue as it doesn't seem to be getting fuel. It starts easily with starting fluid but will not run on its own. I had high hopes for this edger.

Just what I ordered. Instructions are written by an engineer, back wheels kept falling off after first use, need better instructions and axle for this. Runs great best straight lines I have had in a while. Also the lever of hieght adjustment moves while using - would be nice if this would lock somehow, My 30 year old McClanes unit did the same thing. Overall pleased
