If you are talking about the trenchblade I tried it and can give you a solid...undecided.

I am using the blade in the northeast to redefine bed edges. My goal is to be able to re-edge beds (after the initial hand edging) with the trench blade. I was hoping the width or the blade would make it clear out more of the weeds near the edge of the bed.

It does a decent job but I am still convinced the best tool for re-edging beds is a weedwacker. Unfortunately, a weedwacker throws up a lot more material and is much more tiring to use than a stick edger.

For $10.00 or so they will send one to you. Why not give it a try yourself and let us know how you make out.
