Greenworks 12 Amp Electric Corded Edger 27032

I really wanted to give this a great review. Upon arrival it looked l like it was just thrown into a box. There was no damage and the handle was wrapped in plastic. C'mon GreenWorks, you can do better than that! I did not like how hard it was too get the darn handle aligned to bolt it together. Tolerances for the bolt in the handle together are too tight. Also the curled cord going down the handle center kept getting in the way of the bolt. Once I got it I felt the handle was a little off. It does not have a guide that allows you to easily align the blade with the side walk. There is a visual guide but its pretty useless. You will find that the only way to be sure that you are against the sidewalk is to scrape the blade against the concrete.. Not good for blade life. You will definitely need an extra blade. That being said, it was reasonably powerful and did a good job although with sparks flying. I had also purchased last year a GreenWorks string trimmer which is very powerful and does a great job. If you don't mind a few sparks, give it a try. I'm thinking the Black & Decker would have been a better buy.
