ABSTRACT:
A lawn edging tool comprises a first post which is hollow and having an open lower end to which a cutting blade is secured. A second post is fitted through the open lower end of and slideably held in the hollow first post The second post has a lower end provided with a ground plate below the first post. A spring is trapped between the upper end of the second post and a spring stop provided within the first post. This spring is compressed by pushing the first post downwardly over the second post with the ground plate in a ground engaging position to move the cutting blade on the first post downwardly from a storage to a cutting position. The spring, after being compressed, then provides a bias to raise the first post relative to the second post and to return the cutting blade to the storage position. Also provided on the lawn edging tool is a connector which holds the cutting blade against the lower end of the second post while allowing the blade to slide between the cutting and the storage positions The connector also prevents the second post from completely sliding out of the first post.
