Abstract
A hand-held edger capable of suppressing wear of a cover without an increase in the number of parts. The hand-held edger comprises a main rod supported by an operator's hand; a gear case supported at one end portion of the main rod; a rotating blade connected to a gear in the gear case; a power unit mounted to the other end portion of the main rod, for driving the rotating blade via the gear in the gear case; a resin-made cover attached to a flange of the gear case, for covering the rotating blade; and a wheel supported by the cover, and an outer periphery of the flange is coplanar with the periphery of at least the lowermost portion of the cover or diametrically outwardly protruded therefrom.
