In our part of the world near Sunnyside, Wash., we are surrounded by cow pastures that have a horrible weed that sends out shoots in every direction. To keep those obnoxious weeds out of our flower beds and from under our border of Arborvitae and spruce trees, we have found it necessary to dig down and cut the invading shoots.
The McLane Lawn Edger is American made and seems really sturdy. We really like it! I had planned to purchase an edger from Sears, but all their products have bad reviews, are made in China, and seem to be flimsey. One Sears customer said, "Craftsman is not what it used to be."
So we are glad we made the switch to the McLane Lawn Edger instead. We know we will give it a lot of use this spring and summer.

The McLane 801 edger is a much better design than the brands at Sears or Home Depot. It works well, however, it was advertised as having steel wheels but they are plastic. The wheels seem to be the only difference from the lower cost model 101. Also, the throttle is somewhat flimsy. Overall, a nice unit that starts easily and has plently of power.

I have had many edgers over the years, but this is by far the best one I've ever used. I received it in 2 days even though I chose free shipping, and my husband said it was very easy to assemble. I was very impressed that it started with only one pull after it was assembled. It has continued to start that easily, & it edges beautifully with little effort. We had tried an attachment to our edger, but it was too cumbersome for me to use. This McLane edger is an excellent edger!

Assembly is easy.
Engine is easy to start and runs well.
Unit cuts properly and is easy to use BUT ......
the belt pulley on the cutter head keeps coming off of the shaft.
It appears to be a friction fit.
There is no set screw or mechanical device to keep the pulley on the shaft.
I have reinstalled it 3 times but it keeps coming off.
I will have to call the factory and find out how to get it fixed.
Other than this defect it is a good unit.
UPDATE:
I contacted the factory and they promptly sent a new cutter head assembly.
Very simply installed in 5 minutes with minimal tools.
Now it works great!
I now rate it 5 stars.
