Not all lawn edgers are created equal — and if bending over for 20 minutes leaves your back sore, you're using the wrong tool. We put three iToolMax models through real yard tests: a manual rotary edger, two versions of their ultra-light 2.09 lb cordless grass shear. Here's what each one is actually good at.
