This is a wheel guide you can attach to your weed eater (whacker, trimmer) to make it easy for you to trim the edges of your lawn where it meets the sidewalk.

This should work on most trimmers that have about a 1 (or 3/4) inch diameter pipe.

It is very lightweight. The bearing accounts for almost half the weight.
