Wheel Rotary Edger
A wheel rotary edger is a power tool used for creating clean, consistent edges along lawns, gardens, and paved surfaces. It utilizes a rotating steel blade to cut a neat groove into the turf or soil, separating it from adjacent areas like sidewalks, driveways, or flowerbeds.
Material:
- Blade: Typically constructed from hardened steel for durability and effective cutting.
- Housing: Often made from aluminum or a robust plastic composite to balance weight and strength.
- Motor: Electric motors are common for residential use, offering convenience and lower maintenance. Gasoline-powered models exist for larger properties or areas without easy access to electricity.
- Wheels: Steel or durable plastic, providing stability and controlled movement.
Purpose:
The primary purpose is to define edges, providing a manicured appearance to landscaping. It enhances the visual separation between different ground covers and materials.
Function:
A wheel rotary edger functions by a high-speed rotating blade vertically cutting into the turf or soil. The blade's action creates a trench, establishing a clear boundary. Depth adjustment settings are standard, allowing control over the edge's definition. Some models incorporate features to collect clippings, while others leave them in place.
Usage Scenarios:
- Residential Lawns: Defining lawn edges along sidewalks, driveways, patios, and gardens.
- Commercial Landscaping: Maintaining neat edges in public spaces, parks, and business properties.
- Garden Beds: Creating defined borders for flowerbeds, shrubbery, and other garden features.
- Paved Areas: Establishing clean lines between lawns and paved surfaces like brick or stone walkways.
Common Types:
- Electric Wheel Edgers: Popular for home use, offering ease of use, quiet operation, and lower maintenance. Corded and cordless (battery-powered) options are available.
- Gasoline-Powered Wheel Edgers: Provide greater power and runtime for larger areas, but require more maintenance (fuel, oil, spark plugs).
- String Trimmer with Edging Attachment: Some string trimmers can be converted into edgers with a dedicated attachment, offering versatility but potentially less precision than dedicated edgers.
- Manual Wheel Edgers: Less common, these require physical effort to operate, suitable for small areas or occasional use.
- Vertical Edgers: Utilize a vertical rotating blade, often used for more precise edging along hard surfaces.
The declared goods, “wheel rotary edger”, can be classified under the following HS codes based on the provided reference material:
- 8205.59.55.05: This HS code falls under Chapter 82, which covers handtools. Specifically, it covers handtools not elsewhere specified, including glass cutters, blow torches, vises, clamps, anvils, portable forges, and hand/pedal-operated grinding wheels. The code further specifies “Other handtools…Of iron or steel Edged handtools: Other”. This suggests the item is an edged handtool made of iron or steel. The total tax rate is 60.3%, comprised of a 5.3% base tariff, a 25.0% additional tariff, and a 30% additional tariff effective April 2, 2025.
- 8205.59.55.10: Similar to the previous code, this also falls under Chapter 82 for handtools not elsewhere specified. It specifies “Other handtools…Of iron or steel Other Edged handtools: Other”. The total tax rate is 60.3%, comprised of a 5.3% base tariff, a 25.0% additional tariff, and a 30% additional tariff effective April 2, 2025.
- 8479.89.95.60: This HS code is under Chapter 84, covering machines and mechanical appliances with individual functions not specified elsewhere.
