40 volt gas-like power cordless head trimmer by ryobi
24 inches one inch cut capacity rotating handle and head sweep debris remover
so there it is with the cover off 24 inch trimmer and i'll throw the battery in and show you what
it does all right like most electric things it has a dual trigger there's a trigger up here on
the top and there's one on the bottom so you have to do both at the same time i'll try to set it up
it's kind of hard to do because you have to have both triggers going at the same time
let me see if i can do one over here by the air conditioner
i'll just set it up here on the air conditioner and um start it up here we go
hopefully you've seen that but it works well just this electric
hedger um it's a lot more manageable because you don't have to worry about wires and it's um
fairly light it's not heavy now they have one that's on a stick and i'll show you something
so here's my expanded stick that i use for my trimmer and my edger and it works well for
that they actually makes attachment for the hedge trimmer to go on it too so that big hedge trimmer
would go on the end of this some stick where that trimmer is now my problem is that thing it's
pretty heavy looking i don't want to have such a heavy device when i'm edging i'm not going out far
hedger and this works well for what i needed to do the battery seems to last decent and it's strong
i just didn't want one on the stick and it'd be so heavy that i get tired really quick using it
so i didn't want to get the one on the stick but they do make it and it's cheaper this one
was about 120 939 dollars and it didn't come with a battery of course you know but i have
a bunch of batteries because i have a bunch of these now but i think i could recommend this
i've only had it for about a month and only used it twice it's got a up to a one inch cut capacity
the handle rotates and it's got the um head sweep debris remove all right so here's the manuals
you get and the other junk registration and you also get this hedge remover here
it's just a piece of plastic with an angle on it and what you do
is you slide it onto this top orange part here and i guess as you edge the edge
it keeps the debris from um hitting in the face or something maybe
so they give you that little thing
i actually forgot about it i had it on my desk but if you want to use that it comes with one of those
it might be good because sometimes the branches get a little unwieldly
okay one thing i just noticed is it has this rotating um handle you can move this handle
different directions and basically it's pretty simple that you put lift this and you could twist
to 45 degrees or whatever and you might be more comfortable at certain cuts doing it that way
i'll probably never really use it because i just don't use stuff like that but
it's actually on the switch here you lift it up and turn
now the instructions is pretty awful on all these ryobi products i think they really
need to work on the instructions they're so concerned about safety that they put
very little effort into the instruction part of their tools and it's kind of annoying in a way
um i don't know if you can see that but that's the instructions for that you basically lift
a and then you could twist it but the wording doesn't really match up the picture that much i
mean it really needs to be more um explanatory and ryobi just has some awful instructions
now one thing you're gonna need is sooner or later you're gonna have to oil it
which i've never done with my old one but um i'm going to definitely oil this one
with um wd-40 or something and then you could actually sharpen the blades with a with a file
and their instructions are just guard teeth cutting teeth um that's their
instructions on how to sharpen the teeth okay come on ryobi get better than this
um so we'll see in a couple of months maybe i'll do another review but i think this will
work just fine for what i need to do it's five year warranty 90 day return policy
and um uses the 40 volt which is what i use
