Black+Decker LE750 12-Amp 2-in-1 Landscape Edger & Trencher

The LE750 is the Black+Decker answer to the Worx WG896: same basic promise, different handle feel. Black+Decker's current product page still frames it as a 12 amp 2-in-1 landscape edger and trencher, which is exactly how I would evaluate it. It is a dedicated blade edger for homeowners who want cleaner concrete lines than a string trimmer can produce.

Pick it over the Worx when it is cheaper, in stock locally, or the Black+Decker handle/trigger layout feels more natural. Pick the Worx when the cutting-line indicator and depth-control feel are worth the small premium. Pick EGO when you already own the EGO multi-head system and want cordless range. Skip the LE750 if the curb run is far from an outlet or if the edge is so overgrown that you need commercial torque.

The hidden ownership cost is not electricity; it is blades, extension cords, and patience. A corded edger makes sense only when the work zone is outlet-friendly and you will store the tool indoors. I would use it to maintain an established edge, reopen a shallow spring groove, and trench small landscape borders. I would not use it as a once-every-five-years rescue tool for a buried sidewalk. For normal suburban maintenance, though, it is cheap and honest.
