Nice attachment [Posted on 2008-06-01] I needed an edger that would attach to my existing Poulan line trimmer. This item filled the bill nicely and so far it has performed flawlessly.
The only negative that I have experienced is that I needed to make some changes to the way it was assembled to get it to rotate 90 degrees to use it as a brush cutter. It would not turn to the correct position to cut brush on my trimmer without that modification. I will need to undo/redo the modification depending on whether I am edging or cutting brush.
Best choice out there [Posted on 2008-06-03] My search for an edger attachment began with the Troy-Bilt unit. I have a Troy-Bilt string trimmer, so I figure why not stay within the same brand? Well, there's a clear reason not to - their edger attachment does not work well at all. Cumbersome to maneuver and hard to control to get a clean edge. Also cuts poorly. Bought it at Lowes, and it went back the same week.
So, the next stop was the Expand-It attachment. I saw it on Amazon for a very nice price, but was not sure that it would be a keeper. So I bought it at HD instead. Very glad I did, since it also was returned the same week. While it cut better than the Troy-Bilt, it was very cumbersome to use and difficult to adjust.
Fortunately, the third time was the charm. Tried the Poulan based on the positive reviews, and am happy to say everyone was right! This works very well, cuts great, easy to adjust, and I had no problems maneuvering it right from the get-go. Solid construction and clear instructions round out the list of pluses. I'm using it on a 2-cycle Troy-Bilt trimmer and have no problems getting through thick grass/dirt.
Finally have nice, clean edges along the sidewalk! Good price from Amazon, and quick shipping (as usual).
Great attachment (if paired with the right power head) [Posted on 2008-06-09] The Poulan Pro Edger attachment performs admirably when paired with an appropriate power head (plenty of muscle). I'm using the attachment with a power head similar to this one: 16" Aluminum Fixed-Line Feed Head, 29cc 4-cycle Straight Shaft, Split Boom, Accepts attachments.
The only complaint that I have is that the shaft is not long enough. In order to keep the guide wheel on the ground I need to really bend over (I'm 6' tall), which is the reason for the 4 stars. I don't believe that I've seen anyone mention this issue, so maybe it's just me (please let me know if you've seen an extension for sale). Overall, a nice attachment for a great price.
PP100E works great.. [Posted on 2008-07-17] I recently purchased the PP1000E and found it to be everything I wanted. My only minor gripe is the wing nut that allows you to move from deep edging (MAX) to less deep edging (MIN) comes loose too easily.. making the edger dig deeper than you want when it loosens. I have not tried replacing the nut, but I have over tightened it to the point of it not coming loose.. but then it is stuck on MIN. ANyway, for what I need it for, it is great. Attaches and detaches quite easily from my Poulan trimmer without any tools. Worth the $50 some bucks I spent.
Poulan Pro edge attachment for trimmers [Posted on 2008-07-22] This item works great! I used a corded trimmer that would take me about two hours to complete my front yard. After I bought this product it took me 30 min Wish I bought this first.
