As for the Bump Feed system on the bottom you don't bang it on the pavement or hard surfaces ? That's common sense . You always bump on the grass or soft part of the lawn . This will make it last much longer .
Finally!!! Someone else who uses the term " Jerry can" !!
Thanks for the video, well done. I just picked one of these up and am excited to get the yard looking sharp. Your string reload demo was nice, thank you.
Thx for the tutorial we just bought one today plus a lawn mover
Got one. Had it for 3 years also have the tri blade attachment for heavier grasses, weeds and it will cut down small trees 1 - 2 " diameter. Looking into other attachments. Only issue I have is the weight of the unit with the battery. Not as young as I used to be and after 30 minutes or so of using it I have to take a break. I would suggest a battery pack for the battery like the leaf blower backpacks with just a cord to connect it to the unit. I am trying out a wheel attachment on the weed eater to see if that helps also. The unit works very well and you are right about restringing. Easiest I have ever done.
Shorter string is less weight on the motor. So, in turn you get improved battery life.
less torque, so less power required
I wish I had found your video first. I bought one of these today and found that most of them was so fast I couldn’t get nothing out of them
how do you like this unit?
Great explanation 👍🏼!
By the way, when encountering tall weeds like the one featured in the video; try to cut from the top down... It's actually mentioned in the instruction booklet as I too was experiencing issues. Thanks!
Just the fact that you're wearing Crocs, I'm IN! :-)
Thank you for a simple and easy to follow video. The hard copy manual is not user friendly & has minuscule print.
All bumb and feed line trimmers heads eventually wear away.If you use .095 line it will cut through heavier growth that much easier.
The Ryobi Web site says using the shorter string length uses less battery power, so the battery will last longer.
Thank you so much - you are a good teacher - keep up the good work.
You're very welcome! New lawn tool coming soon!
playing with fire trimming that close to your car like that 7:07 😱
I have the same one My battery last at least 40 minutes. I use thicker string And it cuts through little branches like you had that you were having problems with. One out of 5 honestly I give it at least a 4 star. I mean I love it.
Great explanation and demonstration 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Glade you enjoyed it!
I paid a lot less than what you payed for mine yesterday with a battery and charger- 149.00 at Home depot for 40v battery, tool and charger...love it!!!
How did you attach the safety head side to the trigger side?? On mine the hole looks to be small and won’t even fit inside.
I paid 72$ for the whole set up dudeeeeee DTO
Hey man. Great video. I truly mean it. Thank you.
Glad I can help!
Shorter string, less strain for high speed, longer battery life. It would be ideal to go around the house
Makes sense! Thanks 🙏
The benefits of having a shorter cord is in yards that have colour bond fencing. There is a 5 inch gap that you need to get into to cut the grass that eventually grows in the actual fence overtime long cord cannot get all of that grass cut and it’s annoying to dig the dirt out of the bottom of the colour bond fence, another option would be to poison that grass but who wants to go and spray poison everywhere😂 If the longer cord hits the colour bond fence, everyone knows about it it is loud which kind of defeats the purpose of having a quiet string trimmer with a battery
Good review.
Excellent video. Informative and to the point...
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks ❤
I just got one...connecting the actual weed wacker end pole to the base pole is not smooth...you almost have to jam it in to get the attachment to connect...I actually had to use wd-40 to make it smoother so that the 2 pieces could connect and fit.
Perfect video!! Thak you very helpfull!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you perfect 🤙🏼
My RYOBI 40 volt, brushed model smoked and caught on fire the second summer
RYOBI did zero FOR ME
I bought my mower at same time,it has 110 hours for example
Nice yard you got there! 😂
Man this tool is loud when the trigger is fully pressed. I would put the DB close to a two cycle trimmer.
I found this unit to be very heavy. I had to get a shoulder strap. I also have small hands and can't get the battery off.
Great demo. One question, I know it comes with edger but will it edge without buying the attachement?
Wish I knew if I could replace the auto feed head with a bump feed head. Watched videos of how to remove the auto feed feature but I would just like a bump feed head.
My trimmer head won't spin after three uses even though the motor works and the batter is good.
i guess the length of the metal part is not adjustable...?...i wonder why they make it like that...Also wondering if your handle comes loose...?...Thank you....
You’re not supposed to strike any bump head off of concrete or pavement or bricks. Ya know, avoid the hard stuff. Try bumping it off of the grass. 🤷🏼♂️👍🏻✌🏻
How do you put the head on when your sting gets stuck inside
I just got this...are you still there? I absolutely don't trust the battery life on electric tools. I also hate Ryobi but it's the affordable option for now. I wish this was plug in!
Just buy a second battery. I got a second battery with a blower. Wired sucks. What if you have a large yard? What if you have flowerbeds you have to constantly move wires around? Trees? What if the cord gets a nick in it as you're pulling it around? Once you have a couple of batteries in your garage you can just grab tools and go anywhere you need to instantly all around your front yard, back yard, side yard, the street, your neighbor or mother-in-law's place. It's effortless.
Oh I see you did demo edging.
I tried a Milwaukee battery powered trimmer, didn’t like it at all. Is this way better than a Milwaukee? I also used a 12ah battery and it didn’t last very long.
Shorts, car, glass table. You like pushing your luck; and, you obviously don't have any rocks/pebbles your worried about.
How long the battery last
1 hour
this is the brushed motor version and not the brushless one, correct?
You have to get a brush cutter attachment? Ryobi said there are blades for this. Anyone know or have? Do you need a separate attachment, put the blades in place of string on this head or need a separate head? Theres nothing in the manual about this, nothing in the spare blade packs that says what models or how to install. Ive never seen a single company that explains how anything they make, works. Yikes!
Have you or anyone else used these to cut down alfalfa?
How do u open the spool
Hi, i just brought the same trimmer. Question: how long did the battery last?
Should last 1 hour of use
Can you use any brand string with this thing?
Any brand of string, only thing that matters is thickness.
Just to let everyone know, when you by this trimmer for 179$ American here in 2023 you must then pay 219+ taxes just for a extra battery.
Plastic handle, plastic wing nuts, plastic shafts and tubes and soon to be plastic drive shafts.

"Why do you even need to use the tool"? Arthritis in your fingers.
Oh my God.... your crocs are disgusting. I like the vid though.
