LAWN EDGERS
Wild Badger Lawn Edgers: Three Ways to a Clean Edge
A crisp edge along a sidewalk, driveway, or flower bed is what makes a whole yard look finished. The Wild Badger edger collection gives you three ways to cut one. For frequent, heavy edging, the 31cc gas walk-behind lawn edger rolls on its own wheels and drives a 9.5-inch metal blade at 9800 RPM through five cutting depths, so you carve a clean trench-edge without bending over or eyeballing the line.
Already own a Wild Badger gas string trimmer? The straight-shaft edger attachment clicks onto it with a 9-inch blade and up to 2.2 inches of adjustable depth, turning a tool you already have into a precise edger and saving space in the garage. Prefer battery power and less noise? The 40V electric kit pairs a 13-inch string trimmer with a 13-inch wheeled edger and comes with a 2Ah battery and charger, and the 40V 2-in-1 electric string trimmer and edger trims and edges with one 6.6-pound tool.
Gas Edger, Edger Attachment or Electric Kit: Which Fits Your Yard?
The right edger depends on how often you edge and what you already own. Wild Badger covers three answers, from a dedicated walk-behind machine for weekly upkeep to a snap-on attachment for the trimmer already in your garage.
Gas Walk-Behind Edger for Frequent, Heavy Edging
For long sidewalks, driveways, and hard-packed soil, a dedicated machine does the work with the least effort. The 31cc gas walk-behind lawn edger rolls on wheels and drives a 9.5-inch two-teeth metal blade at 9800 RPM, with five depth settings so you can start shallow and step down to cut through an overgrown or first-time edge. Because it is push-along, the weight stays on the wheels, not your arms. Best fit: homeowners who edge often, larger properties, and anyone cutting a fresh edge into tough ground.
Straight-Shaft Edger Attachment for Trimmer Owners
If you already run a Wild Badger gas string trimmer, you may not need a second machine at all. The straight-shaft edger attachment connects to the powerhead you own, adds a 9-inch blade with up to 2.2 inches of adjustable depth, and weighs just 6.19 pounds, so it stores easily and costs far less than a standalone edger. Best fit: occasional edging, smaller yards, and trimmer owners who want a clean edge without buying a whole new tool. See more compatible parts in our edger attachments collection.
40V Electric Trimmer Edgers for Cordless Edging
The third option skips gas altogether, and it comes in two forms. The 40V electric weed eater kit with a wheeled edger is a 13-inch string trimmer that converts to a 13-inch wheeled edger, so the wheel follows the sidewalk while the 6500 RPM head trims the edge. The kit also includes a 400 CFM, 90 MPH leaf blower for clearing the clippings, plus a 2Ah battery and charger. The 40V 2-in-1 electric string trimmer and edger is the lighter pick: one 6.6-pound tool with a 13-inch head, a 6500 RPM motor and auto feed line, and it comes with three spools of trimmer line. Both edge with trimmer line rather than a blade, so they are the right tools for keeping an existing edge neat; for cutting a new edge into hard ground, choose the gas walk-behind edger above. Best fit: small to medium yards, noise-sensitive neighborhoods, and homeowners who want one battery tool for trimming and edging.
How to Choose a Lawn Edger
Three things decide whether an edger is right for your yard. Get them right and you cut a clean edge the first time, every time.
1. Blade Size and Cutting Depth
An edger's blade does the cutting, and depth control decides how clean the line is. The gas walk-behind edger and the edger attachment use a 9.5-inch and a 9-inch two-teeth metal blade that slices rather than tears, and adjustable depth lets you match the job: a shallow pass to touch up an existing edge, or a deeper setting to carve a fresh trench-edge along a bed. The walk-behind edger offers five depth steps; the attachment adjusts up to 2.2 inches. The two 40V electric options edge with trimmer line on a 13-inch head instead of a blade, which suits touch-ups on an edge that is already cut.
2. Walk-Behind, Attachment, or Battery
Match the format to how much you edge. A gas walk-behind edger is the pick for frequent edging and long runs, because the wheels carry the weight and the engine handles hard soil. An edger attachment is the smart choice if you already own a compatible gas string trimmer and edge only now and then. A 40V electric trimmer edger suits smaller yards and anyone who wants a quiet, fuel-free start: the 2-in-1 is the lightest option, and the kit adds a wheeled edger and a leaf blower.

3. Engine Power and Build Quality
For a motorized edger, engine size sets how easily it powers through roots and packed dirt. The 31cc gas engine on the walk-behind model spins its blade at 9800 RPM, enough to cut a clean edge in tough ground without bogging down. Look for metal blades over plastic, and check the warranty: every Wild Badger edger and attachment is backed by a 3-year warranty, so a tool you buy for this season keeps working for many more.
A dedicated lawn edger is a standalone machine. The Wild Badger 31cc gas walk-behind edger rolls on its own wheels and drives a 9.5-inch blade, so the weight stays on the wheels and it handles frequent edging and long runs. An edger attachment is a cutting head that clicks onto a powerhead you already own: the Wild Badger straight-shaft edger attachment adds a 9-inch blade to a compatible gas string trimmer. Pick the dedicated edger if you edge often or work larger properties, and the attachment if you already own a Wild Badger gas trimmer and edge only now and then.

The straight-shaft edger attachment is built for Wild Badger gas string trimmers. It uses a 0.31-inch square coupling and is labeled compatible with gas units, and at 6.19 pounds it stores easily and turns a trimmer you already own into a precise edger. Check that your powerhead accepts straight-shaft attachments before ordering.
