- In this video I attach my new IDECH Power Rotary Scissor head to my 36v Ryobi Line Trimmer and end up with an awesome lawn edging tool.

Ryobi should develop this product. It looks very powerful than stupid string..
I bought one due to your video and a few others on UA-cam. Worth every penny and then some
Awesome - Glad to hear! 🤙
I love the term "whipper-Snipper"
American? G'day mate lol 😆
Thanks bro!
Wish Dewalt had rotary scissors attachment
Thanks for reviewing how these work together. It’s the missing link for my lawn edges where the whipper snippet just doesn’t cut as well as the cylinder mower.
It 100% makes all the difference when you're cutting the rest of the lawn with a cylinder. Glad the video was of some help. 🤙
@@thelionlawn my mate in Victoria showed me his Stihl version, but since I’ve already started with Ryobi gear, I was searching for this option. Thanks again. Best Wishes for Christmas.
@@peterfra177 You too, legend 🤙
damn oldtimeparts is now a shoe shop...
😂 They've had a name change since this video. Try Yardempire.com.au 🤙
mustve got a good offer from the shoe guys! i really want one of these, just hard to justify the almost $500 for it@@thelionlawn
Can anyone compare this to rotary scissors from EGO? Are those from EGO as durable when edging and pulling them through dirt?
THOSE ROTARY BLADES ARE VERY EXPENSIVE, NOISY, SLOW. AND HOW YOU SHARP THEM BY HAND?
How well would it do at the corners on 11:25 ?
Where the brick meets the wood.
Seems it would be difficult to get the grass right in the corner due to the round shape of the scissors.
Yeah, corners are tricky. The only way I've worked out to do it, is pop the head on its side like a knife edge, and run it along the edging to the corner, and then along the brickwork to the corner, and then walk it out from the corner while still on it's edge. It isn't perfect, but gets most of the grass that way. 👍
My 40v was so hot started smoking. I said ahh what the hell lets send it. Managed to finish the lawn. Figured I’d really push it to test warranty. But ryobi is not going to last by any means
Wow that's crazy. How long was it running for? I've done my yard every week for the past year, and used it pretty intensely at another property on some thick overgrown flooded areas, and it's not missed a trick.
Do you know if the rotary scissors will work with the 18v ryobi straight shaft trimmer. I've gone the 18v route with my garden tools but haven't seen anyone online mention attaching it to the 18v trimmer, only 36v.
Hi mate, I'm not sure unfortunately. I know Yard Empire/Old Time Parts only list the 36v as tested.
Ok got the kit! now the headache of finding EP-0 Grease.. any idea where to get the appropriate grease in Australia? what have you decided to go with?
Excellent! I saw OTP posted on their Instagram last night or the night before that they now can provide a tube of grease for use with it, so maybe have a look there. Otherwise, perhaps a lighter gearbox grease from Supercheap/Repco would be the ticket! 👍
@@thelionlawn Ahh great, will get that one. cheers mate!
What are your thoughts on running the idech head on an 18v ryobi? I’ve got all the 18v gear and don’t really want to start getting 36v tools.
I'm sure it would run it, but how efficiently I don't know. I run the 36v at sort of half to 3/4 speed on the trigger and it still chews through a battery pretty quickly. I'm not sure if the 18v is on the list of tested models on the Old Time Parts website, but I'm sure Jason could let you know. It's a big investment for it not to work, that's all.
@@thelionlawn is the drive shaft on the 18v tools the same as the larger 36/40v tools though?
@@iangrogan5261 I'm not sure mate. I don't have an 18v one any more to compare it against. The fact that they don't appear on the tested models list would suggest they're different, but I couldn't be sure.
Do you have to know if it’s compatible with the petrol trimmer or just 36v?
I'm not sure mate. The petrol model isn't on the list of "tested models" at Yard Empire website (formally OTP). But I'm sure they would know. yardempire.com.au maybe get in touch with Jason and see if he can point you in the right direction. 🤙
Is yours the carbon fiber brushless string trimmer ?
No mate, just the standard straight shaft 36v 33cm trimmer.
Hey mate does it get hot mine gets quit warm using a milwaukee
Do you mean the scissor? Or the battery/powerhead? The scissor part gets a little warm from friction, but I wouldn't say hot. And the powerhead doesn't get any warmer than it normally would running the whipper snipper or edger attachment.
I like to use one but can't get it in malaysia.
Have you check with Old Time Parts to see if they ship internationally? They may do?
My Ryobi smelled of burning grease. I don’t think there is enough torque coming from the 40 volt.
Yikes, that's interesting. Mine hasn't done that. Seems to be fine on my 36v.
WTH is a Wippa Snippa? 😂😂🤣🤣😂😂
🤣 Aussie term for a Line Trimmer? Edger? Lol.
OTP are in QLD bruvva
Yeah mate, they sure are! I see you've had a name change?
@@thelionlawn I just meant in the vid you said they were from Sydney haha. Yeah mate, want to start posting other things like digital art and gaming stuff on here too instead of just all lawn stuff. Hopefully some content soon 🤞🏻
Oh man! So I did. I didn't even pick up on the fact that I said that. Odd, because I know they aren't in Sydney, seeing as I had to get it shipped to me. Lol. What a dope.
Good video buddy, what model number is your Ryobi strimmer, looking to get the same setup as you? Cheers
@@antonybirchall9739 Hi mate, it's the RLT36BS.
