Buying guides
Best-of and under-$ budget guides for trimmers and blowers.
The best string trimmer for edging is the WORX WG163, a lightweight 2-in-1 that twists into a wheeled edger and rides on two wheels for a straight line. The SEYVUM 12-inch is the budget 2-in-1, and Viabrico .095 line is the cheap upgrade that cleans up an edge.
The best hedge trimmer for tall hedges is the BLACK+DECKER LPHT120, a cordless pole trimmer that reaches about 11 feet so you can skip the ladder. The EGO POWER+ HT2600 is the cordless pick for thick branches, and the BLACK+DECKER BEHT350FF is the budget corded.
The best leaf blower for a small yard is the BLACK+DECKER LB700, a 4.4-pound corded blower that clears a driveway on a single sweep. The VIBOGEN cordless runs on two batteries for grab-and-go jobs, and the MZK 20V runs the longest on one charge.
