Any of you guys use this attachment for your trimmers? If so what do you think? Can you do sidewalks and regular trimming with it? Pros & cons please. Thanks Harvestman

No but with enought practice and 155 line i was getting pretty good.But the best look is still a push or stick edger.

I like mine. If you get one give it a week. Most guys try it but don't give it a chance. Great under chain link and for edging. However a blade does look better.

I LOVE mine. The finished look is as good or better than a blade. The secret is to use it as the directions say. Hold the loop with your RIGHT hand, hold the throttle with your LEFT hand, walk forwards, dragging the edgit behind you. After a couple hours of this, you will be addicted! I usually use the edgit just for edging, when trimming, the Edgit causes a suction problem that makes it hard to use. But when I do use it for a quick trim, I switch it back to right handed. I think you should try one, you'll like it. And, you WILL turn heads using it.

One thing, it should be used on an Echo trimmer, which is what it is made for. And use .90 line, .80 breaks too often.

Have used 2 for years and wouldn't hav eit any other way. Run echo 2500-2600? and .90 line with auto feed heads.

On etrip around the property and you can edge any hard surface, tree wells and beds and routine trimming. Makes for super efficiency.
