    After years of frustration with the old style line trimmers bought the same Ryobi line trimmer as in this video and also the Ryobi lawn edger. Edger had the 4.0mah battery and chargers, trimmer was skin only. Cannot believe after 3/4 hour trimming have not had to touch the line. The old school ones I had here you’d be lucky to get a few feet done before stopping to re feed line. Thanks for your tips about using tip of the line.

    Thanks Tim, great video. Everyone is an expert until they see your vid ! I'm only 72 but learnt so much. I have a Ryobi trimmer but it's a two-stroke. Love it. I bought it maybe 6 years ago. I finally found out what that circular piece of yellow plastic with the handle that came with it is for ... it's to wind on the bloody plastic line !! Just as well I didn't throw it away ! It was always a pain winding the line before now it will be so much easier. Anway, well done Tim, you now have a new subscriber.

My co-worker insists that we get one that's gas powered instead of Battery, but I'm not comfortable storing gas at home; neither is my husband. Thank you for explaining how to change out the line - others do it so fast that I don't see it very well. And not all workers are helpful.

My advice to any buyer is watch this channel first and get it right the first time. Well done for the coverage. I am now better equipped to at least thread the spool correctly.

      I have also have a Ryobi 2 stroke line trimmer (7-8 years now) and mine always starts easily with 4 to 6 pulls cold.
      Once or twice a year it takes about 3 million, that's when I think I should go battery. But my yards far too big regarding battery run time.

    Thanks for a really detailed video mate.
    I’ve downsized properties over the years, and keeping my 2stroke line trimmer serviced etc has become a pain, especially as my mower is 4 stroke, so I’ve got to keep different fuels as well… Will definitely look at the ryobi as a replacement option now. I always keep on top of my edges, so certainly don’t need commercial-type power.
    Good stuff, and yes, yes, yes on eye protection, every. single. time!!!

    • @Beer_Dad1975
      @Beer_Dad1975 4 місяці тому

      My old 2 stroke needed the carb rebuilding last year, like you my mower is 4 stroke - and moved to an electric chainsaw some years ago when I melted the piston on my 2 stroke - so I thought "f*ck this, I'm going full electric" - after doing some research I decided the 18v Ryobi, same model he uses here, would do for me (I already have a huge pile of Ryobi stuff so just needed the skin) - no regrets, it's a great tool for my property (around 800 sq. meters but mostly taken up with pool and deck - all of which needs edging regularly though) - anyway I would say go for it, it's a very capable and great quality tool for the price.

    @rossthefiddler5890 28 днів тому

    I tried an early Ryobi unit that was eventually recalled (poor & underpowered design for what it was sold as), particularly on our buffalo grass, so over seven years ago I found the AEG 58V line trimmer with a 43cm cutting width which greater with loads of power etc., but it wasn't light & I soon found it a little tiring just for edging grass, so after they brought out the 18v line trimmer (with a 33cm cutting width) I decided to add that to my kit. Even after all these years, I hadn't been fully flipping it for the edges (around rocks etc) & wondered why I didn't get great consistent results until recently when I saw lawn guys working nearby using a flipping hold (including above the shoulder). I decided to try it & surprised myself how much easier, neater & more effective everything was. AEG line trimmers all come with a slimline head now (holds 3.6m) with 2.4mm twisted line.
    Thanks for your good & simple demonstration. It just reinforces the ideal way to finish edges.
    Another thing I had seen in a grass edge along a path was the neat angled back grass edge & had wondered how they had achieved that. Now I can see how that may have been achieved, flipping & keeping low walking on the grass or high (at the shoulder) on the path.

    Great tutorial - recently been worrying about the amount of plastic that ends up in the environment with whipper snippers as the line breaks - especially as mine seems to chew thru line. Is it a case of getting thicker line that doesn’t break so easily or is there a different option that’s better ?
