2 Cycle Full Crank Straight Shaft String Trimmer
2 Cycle Full Crank Attachment Capable Straight Shaft String Trimmer is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 3117.
Rated 4 out of 5 by from RYOBI Scores Again As with all the other RYOBI tools I’ve taken a chance on, I am pleased. Came preloaded with line and extra supplies in the box, was super easy to assemble, and fired right up out of the box per the instructions. Handled a 5-hour heavy duty trim job with ease; first use. Hopefully will last as long as good as it works. The only things that could be improved upon: - The gas tank should be twice as big, as one load of line lasts twice as long as one tank of gas. - The knob that secures the attachment to the power head needs to be really cranked down to keep the attachment from rotating out of position during use. Great value! 🤙🏼

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great utility tool with many uses. I've bought several of these over the last 10 years. Love the flexibility to use it for edging, weed eating, hedge trimming and as a blower.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Powerful, versatile, and easy to crank! I bought this trimmer recently and I am quite impressed. The trimmer is versatile in that you can purchase additional attachments which are quick to swap out. The trimmer is extremely powerful and it cuts through my thick grass like a hot knife through butter. The motor has cranked up fully every time and the steps are straight forward and effective. Priced lower than most competitors yet even better. Don't pass over this one!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great new design This was a.replacwment for one I have been using for 7 years. I repaired it several times and it held up well. The new design looks like it will hold up better

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Runs great...When it runs I bought this to upgrade from a cheap, electric, and cordless Hyper Tough weed eater. I had it running 5 minutes after opening the box and the power difference is substantial! I wouldn't even get 1/2 way finished before the battery died with the last one I had and now can do my yard 2-3 times on a single tank. It's also much easier to spool and comes with a crank for the bump head to make it super fast. I also bought this bc it is attachment capable and later on I can get a tiller attachment or many others to use with it. Only annoyance is I've already replaced the carburetor twice already now and have only had it for 4 months but you can find an entire kit with fuel lines and fuel filter, spark plug, and all for under $15.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from A Great Buy I had this on a a few months and bought to replace the previous model that finally stopped working. Its not my main trimmer though I use with my blower attachment, but at a trimmer itself it gets the job done.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Ryobi weedeater I have been a Ryobi fan/user for years. I have the wed-eater, the edger attachment, and I recently purchased the hedge trimmer attachment. The equipment in my opinion is second to none. The equipment is tough, long lasting, and most importantly very durable, and affordable. I highly recommend Ryobi to all my family and friends.
