Does it come with a battery and charger?

That depends on the kit version. Some bundles include a 20V MAX battery and charger; tool-only versions do not. Check the box contents before buying if you are not already on the platform.

Up to 2 inches, set with a 3-position depth adjustment. Shallower settings suit tidy lawn edges; deeper ones cut a trench along beds and walkways.

How long does it run on one charge?

The manufacturer rates it at up to 1,568 feet of edging per charge. Real runtime depends on the battery used, grass thickness and depth setting.

Is it better than a string trimmer for edging?

For crisp, straight edges along walks and driveways, yes: a metal blade and edge guide cut a cleaner line than trimmer string. A trimmer is still better for tall grass and tight corners.

Can I use my existing 20V MAX batteries?

Yes, if they are from the same 20V MAX line. The tool is designed to run on that platform's batteries, so shared packs cut clutter.

Homeowners with a lawn, beds and hard edges who want gas-like results without fuel or a cord. It is less suited to large commercial jobs or overgrown lots.
