Love my Ego power head. Thanks for the review. Been thinking about investing in the rotary scissors to add to my edger and line trimmer. Great tools.
Cheers! You can’t go wrong with these they are soooo good! ⛳️
Geez your a mind reader. I was thinking about gertting one of these. You've just made up my mind for me. LEGEND!!!
Cheers mate. They’re so good you’ll love it.
EGO, needs to make this available in the U.S.!
I love their tools, but the roto-cut isn't available over here. (There is a third-party option available.)
I wonder if it’s not available here due to safety regulations.
That’s a shame but at least there are options that’ll suit.
What’s the third party option?
@@TristenHernandez here's a video on it...

Yea I was looking for something like this... They actually do have it but don't sell it here in the US.
Strange.
Glad they are making their own!! Ill be grabbing it for sure
You’ll love them.
Looks as though I will be adding the Powerhead and rotary scissors to my EGO range...cheers for the review mate 👍 #sold
Hey cheers for that. You’ll have a great time with it.
Awesome review and awesome lawn!
Thank you so much 😊
Great video mate really enjoy your channel lawn is looking immaculate gunna get this attachment in the makita version split shaft makes life so easy
Little tip if its hard to get the attachment on just spin whatever is on the end and the teeth will fall straight in!
Massive thanks for that tip I’ll give it a go.
Thank You for the great review. Only wish I had seen it earlier. I was tossing up between getting a dedicated line trimmer or the Multi Tool Power Head unit with line trimmer attachment. Went with the dedicated trimmer. Pity the Rotocut can't be fitted to all the dedicated line trimmers EGO manufactures. The Blowers are sensational, I hear a Blower / Vac unit might be on the way too. Cheers.
That’s interesting. A blower vac would be amazing
Had mine for about 6 months well worth the money got the sprinklers hard on my borders so I use it to edge as well but like Matt said u gotta watch it cos it will get away from you. More u do it the better u will be 👌🏻
The solid edger I have doesn’t make as wide a cut as the scissors did.
wtf, the rotary scissors aren't available in the U.S.? 😢 I want it, Ego just take my money!!
All good, we can't seem to get the broom attachment here in Aus so we'll call it even 🤣
Yeah got quite a few telling me the same. That’s a real shame.
@@phizzle24 I'll trade you a ego broom for a rotary scissors 🤣
Great genuine review!! I have the same tool and use it on my couch grass after mowing with the cylinder. It is one solid built piece and my arms ache from using it and need to have a rest and go again. One thing that would make the the best lawn tool ever would be a height adjustment. If only it could sit lower as the base place is not so flat so I don't have to tilt it and could just run it along the lawn at whatever low setting you want. Do you feel that is something you would like improved?
I think it’d be amazing if there was a slighter bevel on the edge and flatter on the bottom. If you get my meaning
I didn't know Ego made this!! Haven't seen it yet in North America 😭
I don’t think the US have them. Strange.
Any tips of what not to do Matt to prolong the life of the blades, like how do they go around sand, stones and the like? And do you have to add oil or grease to the heads of the Rotary Scissors and Edger?
Great review, Thank you!
You know what, in the out takes I talk about that I was not confident that it would stay sharp if it is used as an edger like the solid edger if you know what I mean.
We are still waiting for this out in the USA....crazy its still not available for purchase
Yeah I don’t know why they don’t do it. Would be a major hit for sure!
Have you had to do any servicing on it yet or had the need to put gear grease in it yet? If so what have you used that's available in Australia?
I want the ego scissors but not in the US…How come ego. I wonder if the Stens new power rotary scissors will work?
Hey mate, nice review.
Using this in lieu of whipper snipper how would it go against rendered walls and decking? Would it scratch or mark them if it hit?
You might notice a few marks on my retaining wall. That is from the whipper snipper. The rotor cut (if you don’t smack into the surface hard) will not mark much. The blades are so close they won’t catch. You sort of skip on the surface if that makes sense. The pole of the verandah was already missing the paint as it is rather old.
My 7 piece ego power head arrived yesterday and I tried it today for the first time. I clipped the steel fence upright in the first two minutes 🤦♂️😭😭😭
Has it required much maintenance yet?
Finally!!!!
Is this compatible with the ryobi 36V snipper split shaft?
1:27 is one awesome transition!!!!
Cheers mate. Didn’t quite nail it but trying new things.
I definitely need to save up for an ego power unit and all the attachments.
They’re great fun.
@@lawnporn just got my ego power head with the attachments. Love it.
The rotocut is an expensive attachment. Despite the expense I bought one. I use it as to cut grass around trees in my orchard. Previously I used the brush cutter attachment which worked very well at cutting back long grass. However operating a brush cutter around a tree is nerve wracking as a mishap can easily happen resulting in a damaged tree. The rotocut by comparison is much more controllable and aspire to use around trees.
You’ll love it. Yes agreed pricey but so good.
We need this for the US Market.
Ripper video, Matt. Is there a link to this for the US market too? I get a 404 redirect when I follow the Aussie link to the US page.
Thanks mate. By the sounds this product is not available in the US which is a shame.
Right tool right job
That’s it
How do you find this compares with the Idech? I notice the Idech has a flat, base. Does the Ego have a flat base that allows the blade to ‘float’ above the grass.
I haven’t tried the idech so I can’t say. I do like the slight bulge of the Ego as it helps it float so it doesn’t dig in. Super low lawn cuts though you sort of need to andel like I do in the vid.
how does this line up compared to the stihl rotary blade? it is a good idea instead of normal snipping for the good parts but i can see you still needing a normal snipper in the shed
No doubt you still need the line trimmer. I haven’t used the Stihl rotary scissors so can’t comment there on that point.
I wanted to but this attachment but it is not available in the U.S. at this time.
The attachment itself cost $349 which more than the power head itself... I'd like to get one but can't justify the price and Ego never run discount on single items except for bundles 😔
Fair enough points. Had a few ask if I can get some bundles going with Ego. I can only ask I guess.
I've been looking for these for my Ego. They must not be out in the States yet.
I don’t think they have them in the US which is a shame. They’d sell bundles of them. Maybe a covid thing?
That's why I follow Australian lawncare channels. While we're in Winter, Australians are busy and get first crack with companies testing new ideas.
@@lawnporn Maybe you can tell Ego to send us some !!! Ha ha😅
I posted a question to Ego and they said no immediate plans to offer in the US. Don’t know why. Stihl has one and several have used the Idech rotary scissors which seem to attach to most straight shaft trimmers
TIL Australians refer to string trimmers as whipper snippers. Most people in the US call them Weedwhackers, which is a name brand.
Cheers for that. I had heard the term weed whacker but didn’t know it was a brand.
People in a couple of regions call them weedeaters, which was a brand name for the device sold in the 1970s. Now, most people in the US call them string trimmers, which separates from hedge, brush, etc. trimmers. I think Canadians refer to them as strimmers. 😊
What do you have to do to the blades to keep them working? Oil etc?
It says in the manual after 50 hours of use to regrease the gearbox
Wish Dewalt had its own attachment.
How does it go against bricks and limestone though? My only concern.
Sorry for the late reply. I have had some small scarring in concrete. I'd imagine bricks could be the same but not as bad deepening on the colour of them
Any idea where to get the Ego scissors? I have searched and can’t find one. Thanks
Go to the dealer locator.
egopowerplus.com.au/store-locator
If your ego dealer doesn’t have in stock they can get them for you.
How can I import this to the US?
Anyone know if this will fit other split shaft whipper snippers.
I’ll have a look at the shape and get back to you.
There are adaptor collars for shafts to marry to an IDECH landscape blade. EGO are the same I believe. Count the splines on the shaft, buy to suit and enjoy. I have most of the EGO multi tool range and it is all awesome.
Is this not available in the US?
Unfortunately not yet.
When wil! It be available in the US??!!!!
There is so many from the US contacting me. The Australian Ego guy is on Easter holidays and I'll ask him to pass on the people that want this to the US Ego division...
If you could share this vid with likeminded people in the US that's be great and it might give Ego US the motivation to get them in.
Is this available to order in the USA or is there a company you can recommend that would ship to the USA?
Hey mate. I’ve mDe some enquiry with Ego Australia today and waiting to hear back from them. I’ll let you know. I’ve had similar enquiry from others.
@@lawnporn 8 months later....any updates?
Regretting the masport 60V range now, only advantage is the low cut on the rotory mower.
It sucks when you see an attachment you like on another platform.
@@lawnporn do you still use the swardman?
Is this a better version of the edger?
Some might think so and use it in that way but I l like to think it’s different and used in the way intended.
@@lawnporn cool thanks... because im researching about this, the edger and the line iq trimmer. The line iq will be all around...
Do they sell it in the US?
Unfortunately at this stage no
What model is that ego buddy
It’s the Rotorcut. Seems like it’s Australia only
Any decent gardener can strip straight lines.
Is this in the US?
Unfortunately not. There are some aftermarket ones like idtech I believe
So what you're saying is....your workflow has changed? (have a shot every time you say that in this video ;-)
Drunnnkkk
Nice work, too bad it was done previously.
Shut up and take my money! :) Please ship to US asap.
So many message me the same from the US.
Lawnporn ego power bientot au chateaux a versaille a paris 🤣😂
Awesome!!
if you put it in the dirt you'll blunt the blades, that is never a good idea
For sure
Ive been looking online and cant see anyone selling them
As far as I know it’s Australia only.
@@lawnporn Yeah after a bit of searching around I noticed the only place that had it was Australian and NZ websites. KInd of a shame because it looks like a great piece of gear.
Can you purchase the rotary scissors then ship to the U.S.?
You could get one off of an Aussie retailer and pay postage but that’d be terrible expensive
