What an edger service actually involves
Edgers cop a hammering. Concrete, limestone, the odd reticulation pipe. Most of them come in with two or three issues at once, not just a blunt blade. Here's what we go through:
Blade inspection & replacement
Edger blades wear fast on Perth's limestone driveways. We check the edge, the mounting, and replace if it's chipped or under spec.
Shaft & bearing service
Sand and grass clippings get into the shaft over time. We strip it, clean the bearings, regrease, and check for play.
Drive belt replacement
Belt-driven edgers stretch and slip. If yours is slow to spin up or screeching on startup, the belt's the usual culprit.
Carburettor clean & rebuild
Two-stroke edgers sitting over winter gum up fast. We strip the carby, clean the jets, and replace gaskets and diaphragms as needed.
Fuel system service
Old fuel, blocked filters, perished lines. Cheap to fix, but it's why most edgers won't start after a long break.
Full diagnostic & tune
Spark, compression, ignition timing, idle, throttle response. Same diagnostic process we've used for 50 years.
A note for Warnbro edger owners
If you live anywhere west of Warnbro Sound Avenue, your edger is fighting two things every time you use it: sand getting flicked up into the shaft housing, and salt in the air rusting anything bare metal between jobs. We see it all the time on edgers from Warnbro, Shoalwater, Safety Bay.
The fix isn't complicated. After every use, give the shaft a quick wipe-down and pop the air filter out and tap it clean. It takes 30 seconds and you'll get years more out of the bearings. Most blokes don't bother and we can tell straight away when one comes in.

If it's a petrol, electric or battery edger and it's broken, we can have a look. Doesn't matter where you bought it.
One thing that'll double the life of your edger
Forty years of pulling these things apart and we keep seeing the same fault: dry shaft bearings.
Edger shafts spin at about 6,000 to 8,000 RPM. The bearings up at the gearhead end are tiny, and they only hold a small amount of grease from the factory. Three or four seasons in, especially in a sandy suburb like Warnbro, that grease has either dried out or got contaminated with fine sand.
You can hear it before you can see it. A dry bearing sounds slightly metallic when you let off the throttle, and the gearhead gets noticeably hot after 10 minutes of running. Once the bearing actually fails, it usually takes the shaft and the gear with it, and that's when you're looking at a repair bill that's worth more than the edger.
Here's what we'd suggest if you want to keep yours running another 10 years:
- Once a year, take the gearhead cover off and check the grease. If it's dark grey instead of green, it's time.
- Use proper edger gear grease (Stihl 0781 or equivalent), not general-purpose grease. The viscosity matters at those RPMs.
- Don't overfill it. Two-thirds full is plenty. Overfilled gearheads run hotter, not cooler.
- If you can hear any rumble or feel any side-to-side play in the blade, stop using it. That's a $40 bearing job if you catch it early, or a $300+ replacement gearhead if you don't.
If any of that sounds like more bother than you want, drop it off with us and we'll do it as part of a service.

Common questions
Do you really pick up from Warnbro for free?
Yep. Saturday pickup, Sunday delivery, no charge. We've been running this through Warnbro and the rest of the Rockingham region for years.
How much does an edger service cost?
It depends on what's wrong with it and what brand you've got. Once we've had a proper look on the bench, we ring you with a fixed price before we do any work. No charging by the hour, no surprises.
My edger won't start. Is it worth fixing?
Almost always yes. Most "won't start" jobs come down to old fuel, a gummed-up carby, or a tired spark plug. None of those are expensive fixes. We'll have a look and tell you straight if it's not worth it.
How often should I service my edger?
Once a year for most home edgers, especially in a sandy coastal suburb like Warnbro. If you're a tradie running it daily, twice a year. Sand and salt are hard on bearings.
Do you service electric and battery edgers too?
We do. Battery edgers don't have carbies to worry about, but the shaft, blade, drive system and electronics all wear and we can service the lot. EGO Power+, Stihl battery, Honda battery, all good.
How long does it take?
Usually back to you within a week. Picked up Saturday, delivered the following Sunday at the latest. If parts have to come in, we'll let you know.
