  • Today on Free Mow Fridays I try out the M18 Milwaukee Super Sawzall on these overgrown thick lawn edges. Is this the best way to get straight lawn edges? I mowed this nature strip at no charge to the resident, I make my money through these videos.

    Hi! My name is Tim The Lawnmower Man and I love to clean up overgrown yards and make fun videos doing it. I'm able to do them for free as these videos have ads on them and the revenue from that enables me to cover my cost.
    I'm always looking for the worst yards around. Sometimes I drive around looking for them, sometimes viewers send me suggestions.

    I am going to dig out my reciprocating saw and get it ready to do some edging now I have seen this! That was so much nicer to watch and listen to, for sure. I can't bear the sound of the edger to be honest. Sadly, I know they are a necessary evil however I would much prefer the saw or just the weed eater edging. Regardless, you do a fabulous job anyway Tim.

    I would think OH&S may have some thing to say about the back problems that may easily occur from that particular lawn maintenance equipment Tim. Needless to say, it did the job. A bit too close to ground for me. However, watching and hearing the wippersnipper or blade edger is so much easier to watch 😁. ❤️

    The results look great although I'm not sure it's a tool I'd use for that purpose more than on the odd ocassion when I'd forgotten the proper edging tool. There's a chance of the saw kicking if you hit a stone of paving edge, and as someone else has pointed out, your posture when using it is definitely putting a strain on your back. You're not getting any younger, and we don't want you to get hurt 😄

    Things could go real bad if a reciprocating blade hits a rock or an edge of the concrete below ground. Other than the back issues, I still feel that a rotary tool is safer. and having a rotary tool on a long handle will save your back.

    That was such a lovely "Grime Line" 48 seconds in. Wouldn't have thought of using a reciprocating saw to handle matted overgrowth and cutting in the soil, bending over would be tough, but it is obviously capable of doing good work. To some degree being humorous, my husband would say people use the skills related to their trade. As plumbers and builders may use a reciprocating saw, where they could peer skeptically at a Trimmer, they may pitch in on some small garden rescues with something more familiar. Perhaps they would chalk-line a potential edge before starting? Do like the sharp and neat edge. Your long-handled scraping tool has been a great find as well. End result was very sharp. Nice test and good on you for keeping on eye out for things that might work.

    I see the concerns about your back, and I agree that can be an issue. However, I like the creativity of this solution for certain circumstances. It's fast and effective here, even if impractical for long runs. It may be hard for some viewers to appreciate how truly tough some species of lawn grasses are. A string trimmer or blade edger won't necessarily cut through them on one pass. Whether or not you're serious about using this beyond this video, it was clever and fun to watch.
