Thank you for the kind feedback. We try our best to get good quality!

@Daniel Gray It’s easier to use one of these. Your edges will look nicer too.

definitely vs definately

First time I used it I thought it was trash, my mum bought one for herself, as previously the First 45min of edging was dedicated to starting up the petrol whipper snipper, there was also a 30min struggle with the petrol mower too but she got a battery one that was to my surprise very good.I hadn't used one of these before and it really kicked wasn't sure I was going about it the right way n didn't have the confidence on the throttle to just squeeze it and as it was new didn't want to fk it. she had buyers remorse at the start and was going to bite the bullet and just get a whipper snipper (battery this time) and put this "contraption" in the far courner of the garage. Thanks to the video i had a plan of attack, I did the first 5 or 6 times and now it's easy n she's wrapped with it. Only downside like u said was the weight but after the initial edge has been cut its easier to let the wheels take the weight without having a panic attack. But yes the smaller battery is fine once the line has been drawn. Thanks again!!

No problem! I’m pleased the video was helpful and you’re happy with the tool.

tried our ryobi edger on some neglected grass. was tough for a first timer and the line is messy! a big thanks for the video, i will keep it up regularly now i know it will end up nice over a few gos

No problem. Happy to help.

No problem. Happy to help. Enjoy your new edger.

Cheers for the kind comment Steve!

No problem. Happy to help.

@Barbara Furlo pleased you found the video useful. It’s a pretty easy tool to use. It might take a few times to get use to it.

Glad you got some value out of it!

This tool sounds perfect for you. You are already invested into the echo system of RYOBI. Buy the skin and your good to go.

It’s a good tool to have as part of the garden range.

Thanks for the kind comment!

Thanks @Jinjoo! We try our best to better.

No problem. Pleased you found the video helpful.

No problem at all. Enjoy!

No problem. Would be interested to see how the 36v performs over the 18v.

Can you let me know if it tackles difficult thick weeds on patios ?

Thanks for the kind comment!

You will enjoy using the edger. Let’s us know how you get on using the wire brush as we have never used one before.

You’re welcome. Glad you found it valuable. Good luck on the lawn!

Thank you @Chris Douglas. We try our best to show all the details for the viewer to pick and choose what they want to watch. Do you have one of these RYOBI edgers?

No problem. Happy to help out.

Pleased you enjoyed the content.

Thank you! What size batteries did you use?

@@OmniGarage just the basic battery that fits the drills etc. Didn't last any time.

I find a 5.0 aH battery is plenty for my lawn. I can use the edger, line trimmer and leaf blower all off the same charge.

Thanks for the kind comment Nate!

Thank you. Pleased you liked the content

Wear depends on how often you use it, grass thickness, how much you rub the blade against the concrete etc.

I wish we did. But no all for the love of the tool and providing people like you with all the info.

Nice review! Pleased you enjoyed using the tool and had a similar experience like we did first time round. Now that the groove along the edge has been created, edging from now on will be come easier.

How long it will work on a single battery?

I don’t have the exact run time numbers. I does depend on the size of the battery. For a 5ah battery run time is about 35 minutes.

@@OmniGarage how long the batery last?

5ah battery runs for 35 minutes

Thank you. It’s a good tool. We like it.

Glad you liked it

Thanks for the kind comment.

Glad you enjoyed the video!

Thanks for the kind comment!

Thanks for the kind comment! Glad you enjoyed the video.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Yeah that is a pro for using battery tools I guess.

Thank you for thin kind comment

You will like it. It’s way better at tidying up the edges compared to a line trimmer. The first few times will take a little bit getting used to. Your edges will look sharp.

@@OmniGarage cheers for replying, we have the extendable hedge trimmer, can ends be interchanged if u get me, since they both twist off?, im disabled and attatch the ryobi stuff to my chair, line trimmer, blower, vacuum, they are so awesome

Probably does make sense to start on a lower setting for the first run.

No problem. Pleased you enjoyed it!

Thank you. This tool is fantastic. You can trim the edges with a line trimmer. It is harder to do it that way and doesn't look as good.

Which fence Bob, the railway sleeper one?

You’ll enjoy it! Thanks for dropping a comment 👍

Thanks George!

No worries!

Had this for 4-5 years. So far no issues.

This will help you out.

No problem!

Sounds like you need a bigger battery!

@@OmniGarage what's the next size up?

RYOBI make a 1.3AH, 1.5AH, 2.0 AH, 2.5AH, 4.0AH, 5.0AH, 6.0AH and 9.0 AH batteries for the 18v range.

I replaced mine after a few years. I would say replace when you get down to the last few teeth on the blade. The blades are cheap enough. We have made a video on replacing the blade if wanted to check it out. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/osVdkqSKxLPcYGw.html

No problem! The 18v has a cutting dept of 38 mm whereas the 36v has a dept of 40 mm. Both use the same size blade. I guess it comes down to price and personal preference.

@@OmniGarage Thank you so much for the reply. Do you know if they have a difference in terms of cutting power and strength? Of course I'd expect that 36v is more powerful but if not too much I'd go with the 18v one coz I've got more batteries here😜

That I'm not sure about.

@@OmniGarage Thank you mate! I'll try to find out. Cheers!👍

@@WaynePilot Wayne what one did you go with? I'm considering between 36v and 18v as well

No guide. Use with common sense. If the blade is parallel to the concrete then there is no issue (this is the correct way to use it). If you go perpendicular (incorrect way) then yes is it can create a cut in the concrete. We get this comment sooooo often! Read some of the other comments with my answers attached. I have had mine for 7 years….replaced the blade once (we have a video on that) and I still have a concrete driveway and path intact.

It works like a trigger. Push it down lightly, blade spins slower. As you gradually pull on the trigger the blade spins faster.

😂

Thanks for the kind comment Scott! We generally edge first, then mow. Tidier this way, as the mower will pick up any clippings and clean up the edge nicely.

Sounds like you have used it as a concrete cutter rather than a grass edger.

@@OmniGarage LoL not intentionally! But it was my first run with it so I'm sure there was loose stuff and me not having it figured out just yet.

Answered this question a bunch. Go read my replies.

Appreciate the comment!

Opp just seen the next vid… thanks

Never been a problem around my yard. If you want to do large commercial areas then petrol may make sense.

Answered this question a bunch of times. Read some of my replies.

Thanks for the tips!

Pretty much always, don’t sweat it - replacement blades are relatively inexpensive if you end up wearing yours down. I’ve had the tool for a number of years and I’m only on blade #2.

If you grind the metal blade against the concrete then yes.

Yip in some spots I run the wheel along a wooden edge. As long as they are not sitting too high off the ground and the blade is able to reach the edge you are trying to create.

Generally every mow, takes very little time once you’re on top of it!

The rare wheel is ~35 mm. The width of the wooden edge might be enough for you to use as an edge to drive the machine across. I guess you would have to try and see. Alternatively you could flip the machine around and “free hand” the edge without using the wheel on a hard surface to guide you.

😂

Runtime will be poor.

Cuts through fine but makes a mess as it flicks up mud and grass

Have you tried weed killer spray?

Thank you. Please you found the video helpful. As long as the flower bed has a flat solid edge to run the wheel of the machine across.

Almost no different from the 18v version.

No problem and happy to help. Pleased you found the video useful.

Happy to help.

You keep the wheel on the edge, and the blade will then slip into the gap between the concrete and the grass. It’s easy to manage and get a straight cut!

@@OmniGarage that's what realy bothers me. Is it that easy to drive it? I'm afraid I'm gonna damage my pavement with it.

Thank you!

I’m not sure about the diameter.

@Tvo281 the edger will give you nice precise crisp edges. With the weed eater you can accidentally take away too much grass from the edge leaving you with a uneven ugly edge.

@@OmniGarage Thank you 👍

Thank you. No, are they any good?
