ClintM Report post Posted December 19, 2013 Hi everyone, I need to replace my edgers and upgrade, the low-cost ones that I now have have seen there better days and they're hard to keep sharp. Does anyone have an opinion on who makes the best edgers mostly #1 and #2 standard type? I am aware of most of the makers and would like some input from someone who has experience with the better quality made edgers get alot of use, hold a good edge and cut smoothly. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Itch Report post Posted December 21, 2013 It doesn't appear that Ron is set up to buy from on line. here is his info, give him a call http://www.ronstools.com/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tree Reaper Report post Posted December 21, 2013 Thanks, I saw that but I'd have to call him, place the order and then get a U.S money order and mail it to him. It would less of an inconvenience to just order on line, use a card or PayPal ...and he'd likely get more business if he made it easier for people to purchase his tools.

dkbutcher Report post Posted December 21, 2013 I have a Goods Japan #3 and recently ordered a Barry King #2. The GJ works ok but the BK is like butter If I had to do it over again I would definitely get only Barry King edge bevelers. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tree Reaper Report post Posted December 21, 2013 I looked at Barry's site and his bevelers are numbered as opposed to an actual size so I'm not quite sure how the number relates to the actual opening. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
silverwingit Report post Posted December 31, 2013 Give Barry a call. He's a good guy and is happy to answer any and all questions about his tools. 307.672.5657 Or, just buy a whole set. You'll thank Barry (and me). I like his grooved edgers. Michelle Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tree Reaper Report post Posted December 31, 2013 He might be off for the holidays. I emailed him a week ago about making a stamp for me and I haven't heard from him yet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rawhide Report post Posted January 1, 2014 I'll put my vote in for barry kings...I really think they are easier to control than Ron's, and are less expensive than Ron's. I do like Ron's tools as well, but i'd choose Barry's first. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
