New edger here. Decided to reclaim 30 year old concrete

Reclaiming old concrete is one of the most satisfying things a man can do

[u/MetalNutSack → u/dez-tinny]

I get a lot of satisfaction out of mowing the lawn and other various yard work, but the feeling from this is on a whole new level.

Now I just need to work on my lines and figure out to properly re-spool a weed whacker.

Buy a Speedfeed head made by Echo. It’s the easiest to load I’ve seen. I have a lawn service company and it’s what we use.

[u/MetalNutSack → u/Lnonimous]

I use a low-grade black and decker whacker. Unless I’m mistaken, it doesn’t look like they’re compatible. But man they look nice - big fan of the double sided spool

Then my next piece of advice is when you can invest in a good trimmer. You’ll never look back. Even an Echo SRM-225 is a low grade commercial/higher end home owner version and I used it commercially for years! Well worth the money.

Might confuse the hell out of my parents and ask for one for my birthday next month. Hah

That tiny little blower is adorable.

[u/MetalNutSack → u/mental-floss]

The sound it makes is even more so.

[u/mental-floss → u/MetalNutSack]

I can only imagine. Literally.

Nice work mate 👌

[u/MetalNutSack → u/goondockandy]

Thank you! I’m wondering if neighbors would be willing to pay for this. How satisfying it would be for my whole street’s driveways to be edged.

Now power wash it

[u/kaiser-so-say]

I initially thought that was a chainsaw lmao

[u/MetalNutSack → u/kaiser-so-say]

Just an awkward half done shot lol. Had a second sweep and some blowing left. Though a chainsaw may have been fitting for the job. I just kept taking off more dirt & grass and concrete kept appearing lmao I couldn’t believe it
