- 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.

It may work, but your back is going to hate you for using it.
I was thinking the same thing.
Yup - a back breaker if you did that very long!
Needs a longer handle, too much pressure on lower back, ouch!
I thought what you had was the best, same feeling about your back!
Sawzall for edging..Great idea..I'd be reaching for my backbrace though
Tim, you are a very adventurous person and I love seeing you trying New and Crazy things 😻😻😻😻. It turned out really nice, great job 👍
I've watched so many videos of people using edger equipment, shovels and pick axes and still struggling to remove the debris. Bravo! You made it look effortless.
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.
Brilliant!! Why didn’t anyone ever think of this before? It seems so logical now that you’ve done it🤣
This is how a reciprocating edger born, lets call it Tim’s edger🎉
I think it needs an extension on it to save your back. Awesome edges.
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 😁. ❤️
Your edges are always super sharp without this tool. It's perhaps useful for a small plot but in your case, I'd say your back would suffer too much.
I’ve seen one used to get stepping stones in, which would be cool. But yeah, as an edger? Oof, my back hurts just thinking about it.
no big deal put it on a stick
@@dongordon4464 That's true but a tool that is designed for the job would be better right?

😡 How 🤬 Dare 😡 You 🤬 Say 😡 That 🤬 Dont 😡 Be 🤬 So 😡 Raven 🤬 Transphobic 🤬😡
@cadejust6777 I have absolutely no idea what you're saying.
There’s nothing like using the right tool for the job!!!
Another fantastic job Tim👍🏆
I was glad to hear you say you won't be using it on a daily basis👍, from someone who's had spine surgery please Tim look after you spine because we only get one 🤗❤
With a Sawzall, he could always get an extra spine! 😁
You made that edging look so quick and easy,brilliantly done.
I can see future back problems, using one of those things. The Whipper Snipper looks easier, faster and does a much neater job.
Mate I’m a chippy and I wish I’d thought of using my reciprocal saw to do my edges!!! You can get shorter blades (100mm) that will still do the job without the rebound of the longer blades👍
I think it’s an amazing idea for getting the overgrown edges the first time. Not for everyday use but great idea
reciprocating saw for edging 🤣now ive seen everything
The use of the saw was brilliant...very clean and effective!This video was very satisfying! More please 😁Stay safe and healthy! Take care!
Your edging is impeccable,I’m trying to teach my husband this 😂
When I used to mow my yard, I had what was called a " shuffle " blade to do the edges before the whipper snipper. It was GREAT. Another great job, Tim. Thank you.
I cracked up laughing, I used the reciprocal saw for everything, too, even my neighbours' tall palms 😅, but my partner told me off as he said it was not for that, but I said , ur not using it 😂😂😂
If it makes it easier or you like it, do it. Looks great ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Not a bad idea at all! For first time use on a grossly overgrown walk or curb, this makes clearing a clean line very accurate. Also, I've got some stubborn spots along my driveway where this would quickly resolve a persistent problem. Thanks for sharing!
I come here when my anxiety is unbearable. It makes me feel less alone and calms me down. Thanks, Tim. 💚
You already patented the shovel/rake, 60 gallon collapsible waste can now you will have the lawn jigsaw!
The innovation man, well done.
😊
I get what others have said about the saw being a back breaker, but I also agree that it seemed to do a quicker, cleaner job on the badly overgrown edges.
You do such an awesome job on edges. Thank you for helping clean up the walk ways. God Bless you ❤❤
I love how you make those edges so crispy! Thank you for all that you do!
I think this is a good alternative for someone who has really overgrown edges!
I say, "NEXT LEVEL SMART!♡" WOW😲you made that walkway NEW AGAIN🤗 AWESOME and AMAZING job Tim😎
That is an amazingly sharp edge combined with the string trimmer! Love it!!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🥰🥰🥰
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 😄
Hey Tim! No, you're not crazy!🤪 You ARE a genius!😉 The Sawzall works great (if it's not too hard on your back) & leaves a crisp edge!🤗&😘from SE Tennessee, USA!😊🌱🌲🌳🌴🌹
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.
Im so happy to see the comments weren't absolutely hateful this time around. You have a great community Tim :)
I love how they make a walking path sound so glorious. "A Nature Strip." A nature path sounds better actually.
Now I must invent a handle for my reciprocating saw! My late father was a master of the Sawzall! But I never saw him use one this way. LOL Great idea!
It certainly gives razor sharp beautiful edges
Ingenious! Those are some sharp edges! I have one of those for yard cleanups.... never thought of edging- watching from Lake Wales, Florida
That was an insane amount of overgrowth on the driveway!
I think a reciprocating saw is the next big thing in lawn care. One could use it to cut turf when creating a garden as well.
I agree. Just needs an extended handle.
You deserve support for all the free work you do well done and thank you
Those edges are beautiful you are a pro!!
Very kind 🙌
Ooof, be careful Tim, that looked pretty strenuous on the back. Hope you're doing well after, and thanks for another amazing cleanup
I'd use whatever it takes to get the initial job done. And using such a tool makes a great cut so follow on edging will be a lot easier. Thumbs Up!
Excellent job snake gators good idea snakes are sneaky
I've ALWAYS used my saw-z-all for edging. 20 years or so. Finally bought a battery operated one this last year.
Never imagined a sawzall for edging. Looks sharp.❤ I would think you might go thru alot of blades from them breaking.
not a hole saw, its a sawzall.
@@BUDSBEAU your right I just checked cause I thought I got the name wrong. Thanks. I will correct it.
My exact thoughts, especially about the back. Would need several charged batteries, & they can be quite expensive
Creative adaptation of hand tool! Good results, all around.
Tool looks more efficient, faster and once the edge is cleaned up....looks like a winner to me.
You have always been inventive and resourceful. I remember the video where you used the hedge trimmer under the fence instead of pulling them by hand. Like I said...resourceful. Thanks for sharing. 👍🏼👍🏼
That worked much better. Now a long handle version needs to be invented!
Hi Tim. Interesting method, looks painful. Lovely finish.
That reciprocating saw is a back breaker for this task!!
It does appear to have done the job well.
I was surprised to see you using a saws-all on the edges, but it sure gets the job done! Gots down to the deep roots! Great video!
Using the saw is a very clever idea and seems to work a treat. I’ve got to say , though, that it made my back ache just watching you.
Yes, looks like the saw works well, but wow that had to be rough on the back! Surely there is a good edger that will do as well? All the best to you and yours from Ohio.👍's up always!
Man your edges are on fleek!
Well it is a good idea and it works. Who would have thought that a saw could be used to edge. But I'm sure your back is not going to be happy. Lol, but you did it. Edging looks amazing! Thanks for your videos!👍
Wow just wow amazing detail so crisp and neat.😊😊😊👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
You do some of the best edging!!!
I never would have thought about using a reciprocating saw for a lawn edger. But I must say it did a faster better job than most tools that are designed for that purpose.
Just the job for tidying aound all the stepping stones through my lawn, wish I’d thought of it !! 👍👍👍🇬🇧
Nice job, very crisp and clean.
Great idea, I think that it will work great. However I would try to fabricate a handle to use to save on the 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.
Job well done. Always nice edging and cleanup of the trimmings takes it over the top. ❤
My back is aching just watching the trim. Oh my God! You are amazing sweetheart.
Great work, as usual! Love watching you work.
Amazing job!!!!! Very nice and clean looking sidewalks. You always do awesome work!!😊😊😊😊
I love seeing beautiful crisp, sharp edges. My dad was a stickler for that.
Good idea. Makes for a crisp edge but it sure is hard on the legs and back. Looks great and thanks for sharing another good idea.
Greatings again from The Netherlands. I watched this video several times with big fun and respect and a great result. Have a nice day.
I agree with the back ache, also that tool reminds me of a reciprocating saw.
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.
I've used the sawzall for cutting tree branches, but never saw anyone use it to edge before. It has to be killer on your back, but all in all it did a good job. Just be careful of your fingers.
Thats actually a good idea. Im gonna try it on some 3 inch thick overgrown edges. Save busting out the edger.
The saw seems to have made fast work of the edges with a lot less mess. Contact the saw manufacturer and see if they'll make a long nose saw like they do for the deck screw guns. Great job as usual.
Speaking from someone who has bad back problems from doing heavy yard work for many years I personally I don't care for it. I can hear/feel my back screaming! But, as usual you do a great job with or without it!! Thank you.
Mate I’ve used a reciprocating saw to cut slot of crazy things, but I’ve never seen it used to cut grass edging before! You, are an ideas man 😎 I guess if it works use it. Until it clogs I guess. Love your channel mate!
I agree. Back issues, eventually. But, it works
That was a wicked lot of overgrowth and was a time saver for this walk, but I have to agree it will shorten your lawn mowing career if you keep that up. Jobs like this one though good call. Love the scraping tool. Kudos for thinking out of the box. Love that you pick up the grass! Much better end product.😊
A job to be proud of!👍
You’re crazy Tim 😳 Using that trimmer on the edges like that will do your back in 😫
Ack, ack!! No sawzall, please, too scary!! Your edges cut butter just fine with your weed whacker. Stay safe and God Bless.
If the muffler cut off saw is all you have, use it. I still think the tool with the iron bar that goes round and round is the best yet for edging though. Take this from a guy that did all the edges at his first house with a spade shovel. Jon from the USA.
Wow very creative Tim
Back breaking for anything more than a small driveway. You do a great job on the edges with the weed eater. Thanks for sharing. God bless.
Looks like it works great but it’s a lot of bending and not sure if it would handle wet soil/mud as well.
Timmy..you have one steady hands😊
I think this works very well for you I love this job God bless you 🙏❤️
Tim, I like the new tool. It does a great job!
I think I hear someone out in their shop figuring out how to put a reciprocating saw on a long handle… helluva weapon! BTW great job, once again!
Lol. I don't have an edger, and I'm horrible with the whacked, so I might try this on the strip in my back yard.
Looks great!!
Good job.
Nice edging. Gotta love those 'lawn snakes'!
Why are all these guys jumping on the bandwagon trying to copy you? You’re still the best!!!
Wow! That saw worked great, work went a lot faster for you. Good job!
Nice use for a reciprocating saw! It works, and the blades shouldn't be terribly expensive. Go for it!
Wow! It gives a really sharp edge!!!👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
