Used these blades a few times , last summer. Near any metal or brick type of edging, FORGET IT. They DO get torn up FAST. Plain grass /basic weeds, no problems.
So I guess they would be no good for edging then, correct?
Everyone is saying how fast they wear down. They are only meant for grass and weed, not for thicker brush, branches or small saplings. No one said you can hit hard surfaces with them. Use them properly and they will work like a charm.
The blades shown in this video are the older version and they are a lot more durable than the new version with replaceable blades.
The older blades worked fine for me trimming around fences and cornerstones and such.
I used to wear out 2-3 trimmer heads of this version per summer.
The new version with replaceable blades is a whole other matter.
I have done one run of trimming this spring so far with the new version.
The same lawn and exactly the same areas trimmed as last summer with the older versions.
Approx 5 minutes of work.
3 pairs of blades already busted.
Not worn out, they all shattered.
They shatter at the first minor contact with the mesh in a mesh fence.
They shatter at the first contact with soil.
They shatter at the first contact with any piece of wood or stones larger than 1/2 inch.
The new version only works fine in areas where there are no risk at all for hitting anything else than grass.
The only problem for this product is that for those areas a lawn mower is the tool to use and not a trimmer.
The whole purpose of these smaller trimmers is to cut the grass around objects where the lawn mower can't reach.
With such weak blades, you can't even use your trimmer where it's supposed to be used.

I'm getting a Ryobi today and wondered how to change the head. Thanks for your help. I have a lor of tough weeds.
I went through two of these in a very short period of time and had to return both of them for an exchange on the first and then a refund on the second. The entire head and blades are made of plastic and do not last for long. In my case the plastic head itself broke on the first head after only approximately eight uses, and one of the plastic mounting pins for the blades broke on the second head after only two uses. I bought both at HD for my Ryobi 18v trimmer and they got only light use in a small suburban lawn. The problem is, the higher stress parts like the mounting pins the blades are mounted on need to be made of metal, not plastic. If while they're spinning the plastic blades hit anything solid, including the ground, what you're trimming around, etc, something will soon break, and it's almost impossible to use it as a trimmer without ever hitting anything.
Do they sell them at Walmart
Yeah, these blades suck. Same experience here, but my blade snapped the first time it hit a large weed… replaced the one that broke and went out… broke again second use 😡 I only use the wire now… stupid stuff
2 came free with my Ryobi weed wacker
Was looking for a real review
I've seen blades made of metal like a chainsaw blade for weed wackers.
They work, just have to be extremely careful about kickback...they'll take a leg off pretty quick.
A true test of this brush heads ability would be to drive out of town
on a country road & stop at a bridge & start whacking the weeds &
brush which have been growing wild for 40 years. Your county
would appreciate the help.
!
Plan on going through a couple sets of these per year if you have to wack weeds along fencing.
Ryobi does sell auto-feed string trimmer cartridges with their 18 volt trimmers, but they're probably worse than bump feed heads since it lets out a 1/4" of line every time you let off and spin back up the head.
How do you remove the head! 😭 you skipped over the part I need to know
Awesome. I have the same trimmer and wasn't sure if it would work for it or not. Thanks for the video!
I been looking everywhere. And I tried these before they don’t last long trying to cut around bishes or close along the fence or house. But wanted to ask if you can do a video on the universal ones I been seeing say it works on all trimmers. It’s a real metal blade or there’s one I seen that has real sharp brissels or whatever lol. I’m trying to figure out how to instal one knowing the trimmer has the plastic thing you see that the dual blade clips on but somehow that needs to be removed somehow for the universal blades.
just a helpful suggestion, you did not cover *HOW* to install new blades, and moreover, how *LONG* those plastic blades last, when just trimming, no edging....????
me tooo wtf
Yeap! Thought may be he'd cover blade changing since i dont need to spend more money on the whole spool head. Blades themselves are cheaper. However, these blades you'd better not use them on fences or cement or any hard surfaces or boooooy i tell you what! They'll break off like a mofuka! A pair lasted me literally 3 minutes before i found out. Btw if you only use them for weeds and grass they'll hold up ok.
The blades on these are not replaceable. They SELL replacement blades, but these are riveted to the plastic head. If you drill out the rivets on the head, you might be able to replace them with a nut/bolt, which would give you replaceable blades. Until the nut comes loose. Then you have a lawn shuriken. Ryobi's intention was that you'd just replace the whole cup/blade assembly at once.
@@RedHeadKevin wrong. The unit rotates and the bladed pop out. Replacements slide rt on then you rotate it back and they are locked. It's simple as hell to do. You can Google. The replacement blades have a video showing how. If you could post video replies or even pictures here I'd show ya.
Easy to replace. The replacement blade show a simple video how to replace. If I could reply with a video or even pictures I would.
They SHOULD make metal blades for these. Someone should but I can't find them anywhere.
The blade last long as long as you don't his sidewalks, brick or any real trees.
but when the blades broke there is no option to remove them since they are attached to it no screws , I had to order a different head, blades & with screws & bolts ! but I love my battery power Trimmer !
Get on them weeds dude what are you trying to do nothing?
I just inherited a 18 volt one and those heads with the short blades fit better they need to make them longer for the bigger ones like yours
ooo we have similar folding knife! Nice.
That tip about the cement...stay away. Another TH-camr used it for edging and whittled the blades to a nubbin, right out of the box. His cost - $15 bucks. also, avoid dragging the blade cover along the sidewalk. It's incredible how abrasive cement and asphalt can be.
Idk how ppl would be surprised by that.
Mine lasted only one edging job at my house which has a very small lawn. They wear out very fast used as an edger. Probably better on edging with no sidewalk/concrete. Ryobi tools however are great.
They say not to use for edging in the instructions
Thank you
I bought 2 of these. They both broke within 15 minutes of use on basic tall grass. Cheap quality crap.
I literally don’t know how you just snapped in in a second. I’ve been struggling with it for over 10 minutes and I’m so frustrated.
Cool video 😎📸
They sell longer blades that fit your unit better. How ever, they all suck the same. They will last you three uses and the blades will be roasted. Also drains your battery very fast due to the added weight.
I bought the replacement blades not the head can’t figure out how to take the blades off any ideas?
With the head removed from the edger, hold the base of the head with one hand and turn the other end of the head with your other hand. It should pivot and expose the blade mounting points. In my experience it will pivot and allow changing of the blades only when the head is removed from the edger.
The pair that came with my trimmer definitely will not take replacement blades; hope to find a replacement head that will.
Ever change the plastic blades when they break ?
JUNK......learned it the hard way. Worked ONE TIME then broke the pins on the head itself on the second use. Stay away. This is poorly thought out product. If this is the best Ryobi can do? SHAME ON THEM. Very disappointed.
Yes mine don't even seem to fit with the 36V unit I bought at same time from Bunnings (similar to US's Home Depot I think). Thanks for the comments I will return them never used. Waste of time as in grass the line lasts a long time, and Ryobi's simplified feed in system is inspired design which I love using on those rare times I need to load. I discovered using line trimmer for edging late in life, but retain my Chinese no-name petrol edger for tough work. I like that it is really digging down a slot 2inches below the surface, also easier to get straight lines. Maybe I can make a guidewheel for the Ryobi and licence the design to Ryobi, or any manufacturer I could adapt it to.
Same here.
Same here…not for concrete edges
Works good but green blades are very weak , so I bought the orange Ryobi blades works better , orange blades stronger
Gets jammed when cutting thicker weeds
Where do I order it from
Your alternative is not the same shape. We have been trying to find the ACFHRL2 for months, and it has been out of stock. Nothing else is compatible with our model 40 volt RY40210A. Did Ryobi just forget about their customers???
I would like to se how they work on a urban environment 😐 not in a little jungle 😂
Where did you get that wheel on the left hand side of your trimmer? Is it available for the 40 volt string trimmer?
It comes on the edger/trimmer that also has a head that pivots 90°.
Where did you purchase those
It does not show how to replace the blade on the trimmer
If it’s a forty volt with quick line spool head this doesn’t fit that’s washtub I have and it doesn’t fit
Is it possible to use this bladed trimmer with a Black and Decker 20 volt cordless string trimmer? Would it fit?
I think it will only fit ryobi
It dosent work with my ryobi trimmer, complete waste. Why aren't trimmer heads universal
Now how to replace the actual blades.
I haven’t had one Ryobi product that hasn’t had problems so this should be interesting. 1:30 in and taking bets on how long until those flimsy blades break the hell off. Oh, but then he only used it against a hard surface for a few seconds. I’ve got a couple hundred feet of brick edge it’s gonna have to cut and I see those blades snapping like a twig.
In my experience it's not the blades that break, it's the plastic pins the blades are mounted on that break. If a blade breaks it can be quickly and easily replaced, but if a mounting pin breaks the head is useless. They needed to make the critical parts like the mounting pins out of metal, not cheap plastic.
The instructions say do not use them for edging. They do cut tough weeds that string won't touch.
Soooooo I can't use this on my gas ryobi?
I bought one for mine and it didnt fit so i returned it their bump and feed head sucks.
Wow you really know how to make me feel like a gay- great video
Dude, it doesn't cat trees. It's plastic. They work but don't use near sidewalks, brick or trees. They will either wear down quick or break. For weeds they are fine. That "it will cut trees" is an idiotic comment and honestly one no one would make that's even touched the product if they were honest.
Whatever buddy show us the check they gave you.
It fits hart too
The high pitch beeping made it where I had to watch it with no sound. Yikes!
Ryobi spending some money to make sure you don't air this video! Lol No censorship huh!!!
All it does is show loading arrow going around and around!!! Poor consumers!
Really. That would be crazy.
The first thing you hit looked like poison ivy.
$14.99 for 2 set, easy broken, you have to change it so often.
I agree. They didn't last long. I was looking for something better one week later. Great comment.
is it possible to change the individual blade for something stronger?
@@cameranmanner4701 yes chainsaw chains small lengths
Cameran Manner no
I removed my blades and put on a hacksaw blade I drilled a hole in and bolted with lock nut on. Works amazing on my hart weedeater lol fits the same as ryobi probably made in the same factory in China lol
i went thru 4 heads in 1.5 years i hate it
I know a guy who knows a nudder guy. Well his Cuzin let's just say he wacks to.
I bet this one or, my comment above the one about censorship gets magicaly erased!
Nope it still here.
Well, I was wrong, I truly do apologize.
I have no problem admitting If I screw up! Again I'm sorry!
Love all around!!!
the teeth are no good pulls the weeds into it instead of cutting them i like the blades better when you removed the teeth with a ✔pocket knife
Don’t waste your money, but if it was made out metal 😂 would probably be good. If what you’re cutting is bigger than a match stick it will just eat up the blade.
If you paid a dollar for that head..I hope you got 75 cents change!
Crap, one lasted a minute 2nd maybe 10mimutes,back to the string.
Does not work for edging - about 1 1/2 inch short of touching the ground - smaller cutting disk.
Those things are absolute garbage!! I've tried them several times and they always break very quickly. It wasn't the blades themselves, it is the little plastic mounting pins that hold the blades, they break every time. It's a great idea, just poorly made.
You did nothing.
Don't buy it. It doesn't snap it properly and cracked on first use. Biggest POS waste of money. Through it right in the garbage. So incredibly frustrated with this line. 065 just breaks all the time and always have to open it up and run the line back through the hole. There has to be a better option. Tired of gas trimmer not running properly and really like the convenience of battery but really hard to find the proper line feed
These were discontinued. Some guy wanted 400 dlls for ONE out of an opened two pack on eBay
I just bought a pack from home depot last week
@@biggpmm I think you are referring to a very similar looking product where you can change out the blades. It is the same idea except in this featured product once the blades wear out you have to get a whole new assembly. The product I thin you refer to is fairly new, I got a couple a few months ago. You can buy spare blades and switch them out. Ot works great. I buy blades not intended for it, slightly longer (I removed the safety guard) and it works even better.
looks weak!!!!!!!![
total junk ever made by ryobi!!!
This thing is absolute garbage. Don't waste your money.
They melt really fast , so I found this other one that allows you to replace the blades and the plastic pins just break off not to mention I spent 17 bucks each time . The string feed also has issues. So here is my advice : pay a bit more and buy a name brand machine , you'll save on the long term and will save yourself a lot of trouble and lots of cussing.
Those damn things are junk. No you won't break string but will the cheap plastic wanna be blades. Cant use around anything stone or your fence lines or your house unless you wanna start snapping blades. String just ain't that hard man lol
