Why don't these "experts" ever know to do things properly?

The wheel is on the edger for a reason.

isn't the wheel supposed to roll on the concrete while you edge?

[StLouisStormSpotter]

@JasonsLawnCare1 Yup

very imformative

yes you should. I mean, you COULD use your trimmer as an edger, but it would look really unprofesional. An edge removes overgrown grass thats moved on sidewalks or garden beds or driveways, and makes a nice clean cut. A trimmer trims the grass around the edge where its hard to get a push or reel mower in like around trees.

Do you still need a weedwacker if you have an edger?

[GRASSROOTS504]

Yea. You can use a weedeater/weedwacker as an edger. IF you knew how to control it properly.

@xpstou Yes. The edger is mostly for drive or walkways where you need a clean edge. The weed eater or string trimmer is for reaching areas your mower can't reach, like around poles or up against your house.
