Jump to 8 minutes to actually see the blower working. Talk before that.
I was looking into buying this and ur video was one of the many that convinced me to do it
If you live in the north country where we get snow that makes a really handy way of getting rid of snow off the driveway and the sidewalk besides blowing leaves and grass
I'm blown away
I needed this. Thank you so much 🌿🌱
Hubby got me one of these last summer. Im the yard wife. The lawn is mine haha! I have been debating on buying this attachment or just a standalone blower. I appreciate your review! Looks like Im getting the attachment today. 👍
-The weed eater is brutal! Absolutely amazing!
Hope you enjoy it!
a bit long but a great video! I absolutely love the montage with the POV angle on the blower.. i was hesitant to purchase this but now im certain! great work ill be subscribing for more content about this system.
matthew g // thank you!
With the power sweeper and the cyclone blower you are a one man cleanup team. Ryobi is the greatest pro budget brand I've ever used.
Oh man! I'm getting this tomorrow! Thanks for the video!
hope you enjoy it!
This video really helped me make a decision if i should get the blower attachment for my weedwhacker
Looks awesome
great! I just used it the other day and was still happy with it.
Hot tip. Buy the electric power head. You're welcome.
I bought the Ryobi 2-stroke head and weed whipper along with the Expand-It edger attachment last year, mainly for the edger. There is really only one other Expand-It accessory which interests me... this leaf blower. Your video convinced me. For $118 CDN it is less than half the price of a dedicated blower of equivalent power.
Sweet! It has been perfect for cleaning up after mowing and other odd jobs. I have stopped sweeting the patio now! I hope you enjoy it.
This video helped me decide to buy.
great! hope you enjoy it!
For my home I use the Expand-It battery powered system, also have their 40V lawnmower. Being as their 40V system is so very good and powerful I do not see any need for gas. It is surprising all the gardening tool manufactures are now pushing battery power. Less noise, zero gas fumes, zero end of year maintenance, and the like. RYOBI Expand-It is excellent, I much prefer their battery system. Many of my neighbors have switched from gas to battery lawn tools, not one regretted their move to battery. Their usual comment is “I should have done this years ago.”
Ric Donato // yeah...I really thought about getting the battery stuff. Don’t know why i decided to go gas. That’s good to know they they still have great power. Plus, I bet the batter tech is only going to Kepler getting better.
Is that blower a universal fit, so it can be used with other brands?
My craftsman backpack blower just lost all compression.. And I have the ryob weedeater my qustion is will this attachemet be strong enuff for my needs. I live in the woods and this time of yr I wait for all the 🍃 to fall b4 I clean them up.. It's gets 4+ in deep. Will this be strong enuff of should I just drop the $400 for a new backpack.. Anyone with any experience would like to chime in ples do. It dose look like it works for his use. But I have 5x the amount of 🍃 as he shows... Thanks in advance
Good review! 👍
Thanks! 👍
For your question at 7:38 I believe because it’s a 2-Stroke engine the oil (ethanol shield) is necessary as that’s what lubricates the little engine as it runs. While you might not need that brand it’s still both in the manual and on the gas cap that the trimmer requires a 50:1 mix of gas and oil for it to properly work. Only time you wouldn’t need it is for the new 4-Cycle engines which I believe have their own dedicated oil sumps for use in lubricating. Thanks for the vid though. I have the trimmer attachment and would say it works fairly well on light brush just seem to have to keep it at full speed to get work done with it. I have been looking into this blower attachment though and probably will buy it soon. Do you feel it’s any more cumbersome than a traditional blower?
Thank you for answering my question! To answer yours....I have never owned a traditional blower. Currently, for my needs, this is hitting the mark. It's really easy to store. It's easy to use. It pushes most all of my general yard stuff around. I have not used it thorough a Fall season...we will see how that works. If I needed more heavy lifting from a blower...I would be looking for something else.
I use this to blow the leaves out of my gutters too
I did a search and it seems ethanol shield makes a 2 stroke oil. Any 2 stroke oil will do but if the gas will be sitting a while then it might be good to use. Ethanol in gas absorbs water from the air. And gas goes bad anyway. I bought the big evinrude 2 stroke marine oil. Much cheaper if you can measure it well enough. 76ml (2.6oz) per gallon. I round up to 80.
Man I don't miss trying to crank over a gas powered trimmer. Watching you yank on that cord brought back terrible memories. Cordless is great because I pull the trigger and it works immediately.
Haha! I’m sure I’ll go that way at some point.
I'm just here to say that your channel name is epic.
thanks!
What's the gas can for?
No the ethanol shield is not needed if using ethanol free gasoline. Just use a good 50:1 2 cycle oil
I have the same set up. Love the expand it line.
Hey i have that same line and u messed up when u used regular u should at least us plus or med grade
How does it do with heavy amount of leaves in grass?
It's ok...With being home more now, I've been doing more yard work. It was having some trouble with old wet leaves but it was working. It is great with blowing fresh cut grass and other stuff. If you have a bigger hard blowing job (giggle) ...you may want something else.
Looks a little unwieldy compared to a standalone blower. If you had a bigger yard would you get a standalone blower?
If I needed to do serious blowing...a standalone blower would be best. But for yard clippings and some leaves, this is perfect.
Sold
I have the 4 cycle weed eater so mine should be blow more air than yours
yeah...it's going to blow more! 😄
