Recommendations wanted for Buffalo lawn edger

snigdha

My buffalo lawn is about 3 metres long and have to edge all 4 sides so is quite a lot. Need something powerful and effective. I used the ozhito cordless line trimmer earlier but it stopped working and I was then told that its not suitable for buffalo grass. Can I please get some suggestions,prefer a cordless one but open to any suggestions.

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @snigdha. It's sensational to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about line trimmers.

If you're looking for something powerful and effective, it would be best to step up to a 36v line trimmer.  They have a power output more comparable to a petrol machine and run a thicker line. These units will power through your Buffalo edges and won't struggle with thicker clumps or tough runners. 

I use an 18v line trimmer on my Buffalo, though it does struggle. They are fine for light trimming and cleanup when used regularly and when there isn't a whole heap of runners. I've just re-done all my edging and had to spend a significant amount of time with a sharp shovel to finish off the work. I might have to look at a 36v unit myself.
