Best WORX Cordless Lawn Edgers (2026)

This is the only dedicated blade edger in the range, and it is built around being light and easy to track. The listing describes a uniquely streamlined blade that makes clean cuts, and it weighs only about 7 pounds without the battery. Dual wheels and an edge guide with a blade indicator keep the tool balanced and on line.

The motor is brushless, which runs cooler and wears slower than a brushed motor. The 7 inch blade is smaller than the 8 and 9 inch blades on rivals, so the trench is narrower and shallower, which suits maintenance more than restoring a lost edge. It is sold as a tool only item, so a 20V battery and charger are extra, which means the headline cost understates what you will really spend if you start with nothing. If you do own a pack from a drill or blower, check that it is the same 20V family and that it clicks in firmly before you buy.

Against the WG163 trimmer it cuts a crisper wall, and against the WG154 it is heavier but much more precise. Clean soil from the housing, inspect the blade after concrete work and store the battery indoors. Since the blade indicator sits on the housing, take a moment at the start of each border to line it up with the pavement edge, then let the wheels do the rest. A narrow blade also wears quicker against concrete, so keep a spare and replace it when the cutting edge looks rounded or the cut turns ragged, and wear eye protection because the blade throws grit.

A push button command feed system advances the line on demand, which removes the old habit of bumping the head on the ground. The head tilts 90 degrees so you can switch between trimming and edging in seconds, and it works on slopes and tight spots.

A 12 inch swath cuts a good width for a small to medium lawn. The edge is a string edge, so it is softer and shallower than the WG898.9 blade edger, but it is quick to use and light to carry. It shares the 20V battery family, so a pack from another WORX tool will run it, and so will the charger. Because the head tilts to edge, look at how the guard sits when tilted, and make sure line cannot hit your shin when the tool is at a slope, which is the one posture where the tilt feels awkward.

Change the line when it thins, keep the guard clean and charge the battery after use. For a gardener who wants one tool for trimming with light edging, this is the best fit in the range. The push button feed deserves a note: tap it with the head spinning slowly and the fresh line extends to the cutter blade on the guard, which trims it to length. If the line jams, stop, remove the battery and re wind the spool rather than forcing it. A fresh spool each spring avoids most feed trouble.

Three tools in one: a precision string trimmer, an in line wheeled edger and a small mower. In edger mode the head sits on a wheel and rolls along the border, which helps keep the line steady, and in mower mode a deck lets it cut small patches of lawn.

Seven handle adjustments and six rotating head settings give a flexible fit for different users and tasks. The command feed line system advances line at the push of a button. It is sold as a bare tool, so a 20V battery and charger are extra. Against the WG163 it adds the wheeled edger mode and the mowing deck, and against the WG898.9 it has a softer edge.

Clean the wheel and head after each use, and check the mode locks click home. Small yards with no room to store a second machine are its natural home. In mower mode, work in straight rows and overlap the passes, and cut only short, dry grass, since the deck is a light one and will clog in wet or tall growth. Switch back to trimmer mode for the edges, and take care to seat the head fully so that it does not rattle. A single pack will not stretch across all three jobs on a large lot.

Weighing only 4.2 pounds, this is the lightest tool in the range, and the compact 10 inch swath makes it handy for tight yards. It switches from string trimming to in line edging in seconds, and automatic line feed advances line without bumping.

Light weight is the point: it is easy to carry, control and store, and it suits people who dislike a heavy tool at arm's length. The trade is a narrower swath and a softer edge. Against the WG163 it is lighter but has a smaller swath and no push button command feed.

The WG898 trencher head throws soil as well as grass, so clear the blade housing before it dries hard. It is the right tool for a small yard and quick tidy ups, and a sensible second tool for someone who already owns a bigger edger. Because it is so light, the main risk is letting it drift: keep the guard side toward the curb and walk steadily, and let the head do the work instead of pressing down. If you use it all season, buy spare line and a second pack, since the 10 inch swath means more passes and a little more battery per square meter than a 12 inch tool.

The kit pairs a 12 inch trimmer edger with a 360 CFM blower, so the same pack handles both trimming and sweeping up. The trimmer converts to an edger by pivoting the head, and the push button command feed supplies fresh line on demand.

A blower is the finishing tool for edging, because it clears clippings and soil from the pavement in a minute. At 360 CFM it moves a modest volume of air, enough for driveways and walks, not for heavy leaf work. Against the WG163 it adds the blower, which is the reason to pay for it.

Charge the battery after each use, change the line when it thins and keep the blower away from damp debris. Store both tools together to keep the kit complete. When you finish a border, switch to the blower with the same pack and sweep from the grass toward the street so the clippings leave the drive instead of landing on the neighbour lawn. Wear ear protection for the blower, as the high speed air is loud, and keep the nozzle low so grit does not fly into your eyes.
