The WG898 is a dedicated blade edger with a streamlined 7 inch blade, brushless motor and a dual-wheel chassis that tracks straight. An edge guide and blade indicator help you place the cut right on the line, which is the part of edging most people struggle with.
At about 7 pounds without the battery, it is heavier than the 4.5 pound goodjob, and the wheels provide balance that a lighter tool lacks. The brushless motor wastes less energy, and WORX rates runtime at up to 2,800 feet per charge, a light-load figure. Its blade is smaller than the 9 inch units here, which means a shallower or slimmer cut, but the control is better.
It is sold without battery or charger, so it works best for people already in the WORX PowerShare ecosystem. Brush the blade clean after each use and check it for chips.
