Dewalt Head Edger Attach Steel 7.5IN DWOAS4ED

Works great easy on and off

I purchased this to add to a Dewalt 60V string trimmer that I had purchased (DCST972) and It works perfectly. It fits my DCST972 unit perfectly, and is easy to swap with the trimmer head. It is also easy to set the blade depth and it seems to have more than enough power to cut a nice edge along the driveway. There was a little dirt build up after the edging was completed due to some rain earlier and moist soil, but it was easily scraped away. I can't speak to the durability of this unit, but if I take care of it it should work fine for a long time.

Works good blade doesn’t stay sharp and gouges so replaced

I have two long pathways, one in the middle of star grass (Cynodon nlemfuensis) and one in the middle of st. augustine. I've been using it for edging both, recently installed and with bits of cement still stuck to the sides, for over 6 months. The edges are now clear along with a 1/4 perfectly clean gap between the grass and the concrete. To note: I only do this once a month, and both grasses are quite aggressive so they throw runners into the path. The only trick here is to be aggressive as well, and the 972 can definitely handle it. Set it on high and start the tool before plunging, then ride de border. The blades are MEANT to scratch the sides slightly and stay fairly dull, any sharpness would be killed in seconds so don't bother. Run along the edge, THEN reverse at a slightly different angle to widen the gap just a tiny bit, this will also clean your line, especially if the soil has some moisture. Try to use it when the soil is relatively dry, else you'll get some mud and compressed grass stuck in the cover, even more so if you don't do the reverse thing after your first pass. If it does, get a stick or a piece or rebar, though wood would probably be better, and go at it from the back below the cover, cleans up quickly, then continue. The sound and vibration will tell you if there's a clog in there way before the tool stops, so use the warning to clean it up and don't wait for it to "go away on its own"

Awesome product for my application. Thank you.

The edger has a plastic housing with the wheel and splash guard attaching to the unit with two screws. When the plastic breaks it is unusable. Poor design that needs to be fixed. I bought this a it is quick to switch out heads for edging, weed whacking and blowing and requiring less space to store multiple products.

Edger works great. But plastic guard broke off already

Absolutely perfect. Loved that I could just buy 1 electric tool from Dewalt, a few 60V batteries, and now have multiple tools at my disposal without having to buy a seperate tool handle for every single tool. Great for me since I generally work on my own, not so great for a crew unless you had multiples which may not be worth it economically. 60V 8Ahr works great, though I do recommend a 12Ahr if you have a very large yard (especially if you do plan to do weed whacking too). One warning, althought the 60V batteries are advertised to work on 20V tools, I do not advise to do so as some people have reported their tools no longer working after using a 60V on a 20V tool.

Excellent tool for cutting edges. Good Dewalt quality.
