Had no idea there was a larger blade! Its on my list to order now. On a side note, I always mow first. That way when I place my blade on the grass it will trim at the level that I mowed at.
Great to see you talk about the other blade geared more toward edging. No one has talked about that…There is also a smaller blade available that’s smaller than the standard blade that’s geared towards finer grass or getting a finer cut.
Great video! Would love to see you try and hold the rotary scissors sideways. So much more comfortable, so much faster. Basically the same direction but the stick facing your right at about 45 degrees.
Is there a trick to get a tight fit from the 2 screw? I put adapter in and have problem getting a tight fit with both those screw all the way tightened. Yes I did put the insert sleeve in also. Mine is a Eco trimmer. Yes straight rod too.
I thouhht that was how one keeps it steady! Letting the housing roll on the cement keeps it steady right? Otherwise you have to free hand it and expect it to ve straight?
Really once you put the blade between the sidewalk and the grass, it guides itself. I definitely prefer my larger blade now. No wear and tear on the housing at all.
With your scalp, do you tend to irrigate more often? I usually do but with restrictions in place have you seen it recover well with less water? I let the mowing get away from me and hard scalped yesterday. Def fed it, threw down some Carbon and Hydretein.
I’ve burnt up one without the brushless motor 3 seasons ago. I’ve now had this one 3 seasons with no issues whatsoever. I’m also no big Ryobi homer lol I just happened to already have a lot of the 40V system when I got into lawncare.
@@LawnInsider I greased my rotary scissors. I replaced with the larger blades. i decided to just start using the 6.0 amp battery. My trimmer didn't overheat the entire time I used it. Not sure which thing I did that solved the problem, but problem solved.
I’m not sure! Seems to me like that might be an application where a string trimmer might be better. But I know that chain link isn’t easy on the string.
Brett, have you totally did away with using strings for all your edging and weed eating functions? You now just use exclusively the metal scissor attachment now right?
I also have this on my Ryobi HP 40v. Has the insert collar of the rotary ever backed out (and slide up the Ryobi internal shaft) that the scissors stop working? I've only used it 4 times but it happened to mine after the second use. It's like it needs a sleeve collar to go over the internal shaft that will keep the insert from backing out.
I have a 5ah battery. I never have to change my battery whenever I’m working on my own lawn. I would think you’re good with a lawn up to 5K sq ft. Maybe even bigger if you don’t have to do the entire perimeter.

All your neighbors have dormant grass. Good job on keeping yours green!
I'm doing my best! It's really come back nicely in the past week. Hopefully I can get a video out this weekend to show everyone!
First Aussie 😁. Rhett, a great instructional video on a useful product to give you a great edge. 😎

Good feedback!
I burned a hole in mine in the same place as yours....JB weld to the rescue. I miss using it as an edger.
I've actually thought about going that route too!
I use the ego stick edger. Game changer especially with my miles of sidewalk. I do want of of those power scissors eventually though.
Love the thumbnail 👌🏾
Thank you! Tried to get a little creative haha

Didn’t know about the smaller blade! Will have to check it out.
SK-2824NW is the model number. I’ve never used it but would love to see it in action. Great content you have!🚀
Just bought them just now. Between my Franken-Fiskars Electric Reel Mower snd the rotary scissors we are about to turn up 100%
Great Job !! That’s a great tool to have ! No doubt !
Great video. You may have mentioned , how durable (do the blades dull out quickly)?

Looks great.
How cool, gotta get me one of those, thanks.
The lawn insider got a Madden Ultimate team card 😂
I love your scissors
Thank you!
My god that was satisfying to watch
Looking good . Is that crabgrass growing all over ? Couldn’t tell but looked like it
No, no crabgrass. Just clumpy bermduda. I scalped last week though, so we're on the road to recovery now.

I try to just maintain my normal watering schedule. Any added water from precipitation is a definitely plus though!
When you were weed eating along your porch and foundation, how does that not scratch it?
I have that same Ryobi trimmer with this rotary scissors. after 20 minutes, the trimmer overheats. I may switch to Ego trimmer.
I’ve burnt up one without the brushless motor 3 seasons ago. I’ve now had this one 3 seasons with no issues whatsoever. I’m also no big Ryobi homer lol I just happened to already have a lot of the 40V system when I got into lawncare.
@@LawnInsider yea mine is brushless. i ordered some grease, maybe that is all i need to do.

I have a lot of rocks to trim around, north Arkansas. Basically a rock farm! Would this work?
How long does the ryobi battery last with the scissors? Do you need multiple batteries?
Looks like Amazon is out currently with the larger blades.
Will this fit a Echo gas straight shaft trimmer??
It should fit, but I couldn’t tell you 100%. They come with several adapters.
How is it around chain link fence?
I’m not sure! Seems to me like that might be an application where a string trimmer might be better. But I know that chain link isn’t easy on the string.
Which Ryobi trimmer do you have ?
Are your rotary scissors loud or is it the grease that makes them quieter?
What is the cost of the rotary scissors as I could not find it on Amazon
Hey Rhett does anyone make this circular head w the big blades already on it?
I believe Stihl has one, but I don't know if they fit on other trimmers.
What brand of grease were you referring to that is hard to come by ?
I believe I was referring to the Maruyama grease. But there are some other good options currently available on Amazon right now. Just checked!
Brett, have you totally did away with using strings for all your edging and weed eating functions? You now just use exclusively the metal scissor attachment now right?
I will very occasionally use a strong trimmer. But with my day to day work on the lawn, I only use the landscaping blades.
How much is this attachment and the bigger blades
I think all in would be around $350, but the price fluctuates periodically... usually up unfortunately.
I also have this on my Ryobi HP 40v. Has the insert collar of the rotary ever backed out (and slide up the Ryobi internal shaft) that the scissors stop working? I've only used it 4 times but it happened to mine after the second use. It's like it needs a sleeve collar to go over the internal shaft that will keep the insert from backing out.
No sir, luckily I haven’t experienced that. In fact, I rarely ever use my string trimmer at this point. Pretty much leave this shaft on at all times.
@Lawn Insider i never use string trimmer either. Hard to explain the exact issue without a picture.
How much battery life do you get using this attachment?
I have a 5ah battery. I never have to change my battery whenever I’m working on my own lawn. I would think you’re good with a lawn up to 5K sq ft. Maybe even bigger if you don’t have to do the entire perimeter.
Will this unit attach to the EGO 56V string trimmer?
I don't believe so, due to that automatic feed button at the bottom of the Ego shaft.
Think I’d rather the line trimmer as it flicks the grass out ready to mulch when mowing
Crispy edges is correct.
Get the Gorilla Grips and it's not so difficult to hold for long periods of time.
What is the part number of the LARGEST BLADES?
Just looked and they’re currently unavailable but SK-2118VW
Man I got my hopes up. Then I saw the price. Ugh. 😂
I feel you, I got mine a few years ago and they were considerably cheaper. Snagged the one on Marketplace for $100!
@@LawnInsider wooow. Yeah that I could go for. I’ll just stick with weeding till I can get lucky too or they come out with something cheaper 😂
Like to see in. Action please
No need to explain why you went with the bigger blades. We're guys. Bigger....always go bigger! 😆
*Tim Allen grunt* “oh yeaah”
Hey guys I’m selling a power rotary scissors brand new never used for $250 if anybody would like it ?
