WOLF GartenMulti-Change RBM Lawn Edge Trimmer

Have tried various edging tools and streamers but this is the best. I am a Wolf Garten fan to be fair but this is good. It does require a bit of grunt to push and I highly recommend you purchase the small handle as the usual long handles are more difficult to use. I also recommend using when there's been a bit of rain, not when too wet but not when bone dry either

This is actually perfect and a good design, but it takes practice, a bit skill and physical effort.I was using a strimmer rotated vertically but this is really hard to do neatly without scalping chunks of grass, going off line, awkward back twisting angle and also fast strimmer line wear against the stone edges is annoying. If you think about it, standing still with your back bent over slightly and trying to run a strimmer in a straight line perpendicular to your stance - it’s almost impossible to do a straight line, what is required is you standing over the line you’re cutting so you can see where the strimmer line is accurately cutting, a skill I couldn’t master around oblong stepping stones.I read the mixed reviews but proceeded because everything from Wolf Garten is pretty damn good, I have accessories I still use that are 30+ years old I believeAround lawn edges it’s a breeze to use but I only have one edge, the rest are all mowing strips of block pavers or edges around inset stone stepping stones in the lawn - which present a different problem, let me explain:This tool works as shears, you are rotating the cutting scissors which slice grass against a steel anvil (one each side as this device can be flipped to use left or right handed of course). In order for the scissors to rotate they need about an inch / 30mm of free air below the level of the grass for the fixed anvil to move along in. So I have effectively cut a narrow slot / trench around all of my stepping stones. The first couple of times you use the edger you have to clear this slot which involves a lot of shoving and thrusting and makes a bit of mess ( best clear up is a garden blower) subsequent use is a bit easier as there is free passage for the shears to move in, rather than snagging on soil or thick root clumps.My technique is to angle the edger slightly too, which reduces the dig-in snagging issue.I think the more you use them it not only keeps the slot clear for them to rotate easier, and therefore allows you to make nicer straight cuts, but your technique improves too.Footnote: This tool is the cheap solution - what I’m probably going to buy is the Stihl ‘rotary scissors’ attachment for their combo system when I can justify the cost! YouTube videos of the rotary scissors have convinced me, this wolf tool is a manual version of the professional toolUPDATE:I attached the ‘D’ handle off another wolf garten short handle onto the end of the long pole type handle I was using with this tool and now it’s even easier to use, manipulate the angle of the edger whilst rolling it forwards and backwards, keeping in a straight line for a good edge. It’s easy to drill-out the rivet holding the D handle in place, the pole handle just has a bung in the end to pull out, then drilling and riveting the D handle onto the aluminium pole is very easy (just be sure the D handle is exactly in the horizontal plane). I didn’t try the D handle on my wooden handle, it might be a different diameter, but would be even easier to attach with a couple of screws I suppose.Now during use I feel I have more control against it rotating off angle since one hand is controlling the angle of the cutter to prevent it digging-in.

Very sturdy, but hard to use.

Great when you get used to using it

WARNING!!!!!!!!!WILL CHIP THE EDGES OF ALL OF your tiles when dragging this across. The force needed to drag this up and down unfortunately rubs against the edges of tiles and ends up chipping them.Not worth using if it will damage your tiles

You really have to prep your lawn edge first to create a gap (trough) and this edger works fine. I have approx. 120 meters of lawn edge over 4 separate lawns, all with paving around them. I spent a day edging them all with a straight edge and large knife. Since this was done last year, it takes me about half an hour to go around all 4 lawns now using the Wolf edger. You also need to edge regularly, at least once a week in the growing season. This keeps the trough you create clear and you will find that the more you do it, the easier it becomes. Just as a tip, I keep mine sprayed with a food grade WD40 type lubricant which isn't harmful to plants or grass. This does seem to stop it jamming if you do come across a clump of grass and makes glide better against the edge of the lawn.

Hard to use at first, but gets better as you get used to it. We hired a handyman to re-dig the channel between the grass and the concrete slabs first . This made it easy follow round with the tool.Since then, we've used an old spade, or a crescent-headed lawn edger to start the process off.Hint ..... Hold your end of the handle fairly low, and don't push too hard, the thing has it's own pace and once you've found it you've cracked it!Also, it's heavy, expensive, and looks like a weapon in an online role-playing game.

I read the other reviews and I also had other wolf garten products which I had been pleased with. I bought it as a substitute for edging shears in the hope that it would speed up the job of edge trimming. It is not a substitute. From my trials it is near impossible to cut the edges tight to the lawn edge as with shears and you need several passes to make even a relatively poor job. If your lawn is at all uneven or the edges not cut to perfection you will find the job more difficult as the roller can jam in ruts as you push along. The effort required can be substantial especially when cutting against paving. The cutters only go a few centimeters down so any straggly bits of grass will have to be taken away using some other method. I was not able to establish these shortcomings until l had used the product and the supplier, who is based in the Irish Republic, refused to take it back with any sign of use so beware!

Di tutti i prodotti wolf garten questo è quello che mi lascia un po' perplesso per la sua funzionalità. In ogni caso come tutti i prodotti di questa azienda la qualità dei materiali è sempre il top.

Ich habe mir zuerst ein YouTube Video angesehen, da ich von der Effektivität nicht überzeugt war.Ich habe ca. 160m Rasenkanten an meiner Pflasterfläche. Da der Rasenroboter zwar das Gras kurz hält, jedoch nicht verhindert, dass das Gras auch die Pflasterfläche wächst, muss regelmäßig abgestochen werden. Dies war bisher doch Recht mühsam und zeitaufwendig.Ich habe nun den dritten oder vierten Durchgang mit dem Rasenkantenschneider gemacht und kann sagen, dass es immer einfacher wird.Wenn man deinen Mähroboter hat, muss man auf die verlegten Kabel aufpassen.Das Gerät ist doch etwas größer als gedacht und hat in etwa die Größe eines Handballs.Bei dickeren Graswurzeln muss man schon paar Mal entlang gehen, jedoch macht man dies auch nur einmal. Bei den zukünftigen Durchgängen wird es immer einfacher. Inzwischen schaffe ich ca. 15m/min. Es klappt sogar so gut, dass ich nicht überall im Nachgang die abgetrennte Rasensoden rausfummeln muss, sondern diese gleich abgetrennt auf der Pflasterfläche liegen.Meine Frau schaffte es beim ersten Schnittdurchgang nicht, da der Kraftaufwand doch sehr groß ist. Auch ich kam mit meinen 1,87m leicht ins schwitzen und hatte nach 30m keine Lust mehr. Es lohnt sich jedoch am Ball zu bleiben und nun geht es sehr einfach.

WOLF-Garten 3323000 Rasenkantenschneider multi-star RB-M.Jahrelang wucherte das Gras auch in Bereichen, wo es nicht wachsen sollte. Um endlich Herr des Grünzeugs zu werden, hatte ich die Qual der Wahl zwischen einem preiswerteren Rasenkantenstecher oder diesem Gerät, für das ich mich letztendlich entschied. Den Kauf habe ich nicht bereut. Problemlos und mit relativ wenig Kraftaufwand kann man mit diesem Gerät wunderbar saubere und gerade Kanten schneiden/ziehen und erhält einen Top gepflegt aussehenden Rasen. Vor dem Erst- Einsatz des Gerätes sollte mann allerdings die überwucherten Rasenränder von Hand aus mit einem Rasenmesser freilegen, da es andernfalls mit diesem Gerät ziemlich anstrengend wird. Aber wie gesagt, die Pflege der so hergestellten Kanten danach ausschließlich mit diesem Gerät ist dann leicht und mehr als empfehlenswert. Das Gerät ist für mich zum Rasenkantenbearbeiten super. Die Zeitersparnis ist enorm. Mit dem Stiel hat man eine bessere Kraftübertragung als mit einem gewöhnlichen Stiel. Die Kraft braucht man allerdings höchstens bei der ersten Anwendung. Danach läuft das Gerät super in der Spur und hält die Kanten messerscharf sauber.
