Your lawn mower is obviously the most used tool in your yard, but the trimmer or edger is not far behind. If your lawn meets up against a wall at any point, you can't cut everything with your mower. If you have a patio, you cannot mow everything. Even if you simply have trees in your yard --you cannot mow everything. An edger is the only way under these circumstances that your lawn can be fully groomed.
The basic trimmer has 2 blades an a long wooden handle. They are outdated, but do a very good job. They are good because of their simplicity, needing no gas or power. They are also light. As long as the blades are sharp, you can work quite quickly. The downside is the amount of physical effort involved. It may not be practical for older people to use, because of itís potential to be tough on ones wrists and back.
Power Tool Combo
An option that is physically easier to use is an electric trimmer. They are relatively inexpensive and cut through grass by slicing it with a spinning plastic string. This option is very effective, and can even work in areas that manual edgers won't. Examples of this are situations where grass is up against a shed or around large rocks or bricks. The string will cause no damage, but will cut the grass well.
A gas powered edger is another option. It can be good, but it also has some disadvantages in lawn care. They are noisy and heavy, but they have no chord to get in the way. The lack of a chord means you can take them anywhere. This advantage is good if you need to trim far away from any outlets. Gas powered trimmers also have more power, so if you need to work in thick brush, weeds, or debris, they are your best option. They are the most expensive of the three types, but if their advantages are important to your needs, it is well worth it.

Hitachi's DV18DL Hammer Drill features class-leading 570 in./lbs. of torque to power through the toughest materials. Its unique two-step switch lets you select from four different speed settings to dial in the perfect speed for the job.
The ergonomically designed grip and handle provide maximum leverage, and the five-position belt hook and lightweight design allow you to take this tool anywhere. The DV18DL measures 9.95 inches long and weighs just 4.9 pounds.
DH18DL Rotary Hammer with Two Modes for Versatility
The DH18DL is a cordless rotary hammer designed for optimal performance when drilling holes in concrete. The DH18DL's two-step speed switch has a Power Mode for fast and efficient drilling in larger diameters and a Save Mode for conserving battery power and preventing bit damage. And thanks to an electro-pneumatic mechanism, the DH18DL produces one foot-pound of impact energy and can drill up to 105 holes (1/4- x 1-1/4-inch) on a single charge.
Always user friendly, this rotary hammer is 25% lighter than competitive models, making it ideal for overhead drilling. For further convenience, the DH18DL comes with a quick bit insert for rapid accessory changes and a convenient five-position belt hook with integrated LED work light.
For long life, the DH18DL features an idle strike restrictor that prevents no-load hammering and eliminates unnecessary wear on integral parts. A slip clutch protects the tool gears--as well as the user--in the event of a bound bit, and externally accessible carbon brushes make for quick and easy tool maintenance.

Producing 1,330 in./lbs. of torque and weighing just 3.5 pounds, the WH18DL Impact Driver is ideal for tackling projects like sinking deck screws, hanging doors, and installing cabinets and windows. This impact driver features an industrial-grade, two-piece motor that uses heavy-gauge copper coils to increase power and durability. Hitachi's unique Cool Flow system further enhances durability by supplying a steady stream of air to the motor for harder and longer impacts without motor burnout.
Always user-friendly, the WH18DL has easy carbon-brush access to help extend the life of the tool. For further ease of use, this driver drill features a convenient five-position belt hook with an integrated LED light.

In LED mode, the lantern can run up to 150 hours on a single charge; in florescent mode, it can run up to five hours before needing a charge. For convenience, the automatic switch changes the lantern from florescent to LED when the battery gets low.
And with a convenient 360-degree, eight-position handle, the lantern can be easily carried or hung from a pipe, rail, or tree. It measures 11-25/32 x 3-3/16 x 4-3/16 inches (HxWxD),weighs 0.9 pounds, and is compatible with both 14.4-volt and 18-volt lithium-ion batteries.

HXP Lithium-Ion batteries operate within optimal voltage limits, protecting both the tool and batteries from damage. Protection circuitry built into the batteries and charger monitors the charge and discharge for each battery cell, resulting in peak operating performance.
Additionally, if a surge in power is detected during use, Hitachi's Over-Current Protection technology will temporarily shut of the power to protect the batteries and tool from being damaged. This feature allows the power to return to optimal voltage, thereby extending battery and tool life beyond any competitive lithium-ion products.
HXP batteries come with a two-year HXP Lithium-Ion Battery Warranty, which protects against possible defects in materials and workmanship.
