I bought that guy to replace my long handled loppers, much more compact than the 3 foot long handled, but pretty much the same power. I love this tool!
Thanks, I think. Just watched this and now I have to have one. Trimming the branches into smaller pieces to fit in the trash can is what sold me. Old guys like me appreciate this stuff.
@@Nedstooltalk I had the Ozito PXC battery secateurs. Slow to cycle and brushed motor. Returned without hassle because it got too hot stopping it operating till it cooled. Great for irregular use.
I have this Ryobi tool, one of many various tools I own in the line. Of all of them, this one gets used the most!!! Because of the excessive use I put it through, the blades have become dull. According to the Home Depot website and comment from Ryobi, a replacement blade is not available. This is a big gripe I have as to replace it, it would be $150!! They suggest to sharpen the blades which is a joke. I will say it does take a lot of strain off the wrists, especially for the older folk. One more thing, the guy is telling you the truth, don’t get your fingers in the way or you will be missing one… 😱😱😱
I have this brushless ryobi. It stopped working after 6 weeks. I agree on blade sharpening, but it's cut is rather slow. I did use it a lot but am looking for another brand rather than a replacement.
@@rit1chea Maybe I should do that too, with one that offers blade replacements.. but then again, I’d have to get a different battery platform 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️ Can’t win…
Thanks Ned! Looking at these for my Mum. You sold me.
I bought this Ryobi for my mom's 86th birthday. She loves it. Now she can prune all her precious shrubs, trees etc with ease.

Thanks for the informative info. My first power tool, very helpful!!! Glad I found your video.
They are an excellent tool but a bit pricey.
$259 in NZ
My mistake $249 at Bunnings NZ
Yer ryobi is slowly getting more expencive. I might do some videos about ozito tools, i wonder how they perform for their price point
i pulled the trigger on one of these a month ago from Bunnings for $249 and honestly bro it is the most used tool out of all 15 of my Ryobi 18v tools.
