 Packaging should be changed March 1, 2010
Jim Chizek (Manitowoc, Wi.)
After receiving my edger and putting it together, the engine would not turn over. The botton of the recoil starter housing was dented in shipping. After reading reviews on this machine, it seems that this could be avoided if it was packaged better. I removed the housing and pounded out the dent and the engine started right away. To avoid throttle problems, I sprayed the cable with a silicone spray and this worked great.

This edger for $299.99 including shipping is the best that I could find for the money. It was very easy to assemble and started on the second pull. It is very easy to use. I have a bad back and the walk behind type of edger is about all that I can use on our 400 foot drive. The engineering on the Mclane 101 edger is vastly superior to the similar looking Sears model that I just got rid of. The lower mounting position of the motor and the quality of construction have a lot of influence on the balance and ease of handling. The plastic wheels must have a better quality of ball bearings because you can roll this edger on the concrete drive with 2 fingers rather than the 2 hands and considerable effort that are required to keep the Sears edger moving in the correct direction. I have only 2 suggestions for the manufacturer. Place a small amount of grease on the throttle assembly at the carburetor to eliminate jamming of the throttle control and do not ship via Fed-X to reduce damage.

This machine simplified our work tremendously. We needed to cut down some brush and tall grass. This edger worked great, we turned the blade sideways and it cut the tall grass down with very little effort. It cuts into the ground effortlessly when we edge.

Received McLane edger today -- very fast shipping. Edger does a good job bur the throtle cable assembly and the recoil starter cover are a little "cheesey". Throtle cable broke the first tiem I tried to use it and I had to remove the cover for the recoil starter and bend it back out so the rivets wouldn't rub against the flywheel. Probably are better edgers on the market for the same money. Will think twice before I order from McLane again.

ordered this edger &am happy with it once I made 3 different trips to hardware store to find appropriate stabilizing screws for the handle
I specifically ordered this product because it was made in USA-fooled again! Sure I could have called the company and ordered
replacement screws,but who wants to wait 4-5 more days when it could have been done right the 1st time!
