With a 2.5-inch depth of cut, Edge-EZE is ideal for maintain- ing established edges at up to 500 feet per minute. Twelve-inch vertical adjustment, a reversible disc and electric actuator allow convenient edging from the sidewalk, turf or curb. Dependable, heavy-duty construction makes Edge-EZE ideal for daily commercial use, so it easily pays for itself in no time at all. The Grasshopper Co. HONDA VERSATTACH MULTI-PURPOSE SYSTEM Honda Power Equipment recently entered the split-shaft trimmer market with the introduction of the Honda VersAttach multi-purpose system. Featuring 2 powerhead options and 6 different attach- ments, the VersAttach system combines the power and reliability of Honda 4-stroke engines with a robust lineup of tools to fit a wide range of lawn and garden needs. The VersAttach system offers 2 powerhead models: the UMC425, powered by a Honda GX25 mini 4-stroke engine, as well as the UMC435, powered by a GX35 mini 4-stroke engine. The design of the Honda mini 4-stroke engine provides for full 360-degree operation, allowing the VersAttach to be used — and stored — upright, sideways or even upside down. The 4-stroke engine also eliminates the need to mix fuel and oil, saving the opera- tor valuable time, money and frustration of trying to get the right fuel/oil mixture. Each model can be paired with an optional interchangeable edger, line trimmer, blower, hedge trimmer, pruner and cultivator that fit quickly and securely into the attachment shaft by way of Honda's SureLoc joint-locking system, saving time and effort for the user.
