Questions & Answers

The ego is involved in the process?

The ego boost I get from it is perfect

What is the compatibility of this product with Ryobi electric trimmers?

It is true. You will need the square shape drive shaft attachment, which is already installed with the correct size sleeve. The square piece can be dropped more easily into the rotary scissors shaft using needle nose pliers, then the trimmer head can just be pushed into the shaft of the scissors. There won't be any spray towards your face with this guard since it's about 1/16 of an inch too short. As long as there isn't anything spraying in your direction, our guards can't be installed. The rotary scissors head was easy to attach despite the fact that I had never changed the attachment on a string trimmer before. The whole process took about 3 minutes.

Can this be used with Stihl Kombi and drive shaft extensions?

There is no way it will work. You won't be able to modify the combi shaft unless you make some substantial changes. Combi systems are basically the opposite of Stihl combi systems.

What types of battery powered machines are compatible with this?

I would not say all, but some certainly. This motor can't be located at the string head's end it must be located at the handle end because the string head must be removed and replaced with this tool. You can see the model number on the review picture. It fits my 60v Dewalt. These are some of the ones I posted.

There must be one for you
5/5

Among the top 10 inventions of the past decade, this is the best. The only thing I would like the manufacturer to upgrade is to paint it with grease points. Apart from that, this is a great product.

This device cuts well, but it takes up a lot of time
3/5

In a nutshell, To use with my Dewalt FlexVolt 60V trimmer (DCST972X1), I bought this accessory, and it fits on the trimmer well, however it is quite Although it works well to trim grass as long as it is not growing against concrete, it takes more time trimming grass between concrete patches. It's imperative that you hold the blades against the concrete as they spin, causing the blades to consistently push the trimmer away just far enough to miss some grass blades. As well as wearing down the blade tips and the concrete you're bumping up against, a String Trimmer that is made of flexible plastic will cause less impact on the concrete and won't push or bump away like metal blades would, allowing for quicker cutting by As a result, the clippings from the string trimmer will also be flung away from the concrete, so it will be easier to ensure that the job is completed. Likewise, I would keep this away from any cables and copper grounding rods (check image) and chains. As the blades will likely pinch them and cause damage to both your trimmer and the fencing it hits, avoid trimming down chain-link fences. I'm not sure whether it's worth the tradeoff versus the more efficient, lighter string trimmer, but it is a cool concept overall. The pros are Cutting grass instead of whipping it off with a string means no messy shoes, pants legs, etc. . The risk of yellow spots after getting too close is reduced. The cons are *Hard surfaces like concrete or other hard surfaces require more time to cut grass. It is hard to see if you cut some grass but not others after you leave it where you cut it. It is heavy, so it is more tiring to operate.

Are you looking for a career in ballerdom? Last year, when I looked at these scissors for the first time, I was extremely intrigued by them
5/5

Recently, I bought a reel mower and wanted to find something to provide me with the same quality of cut as my reel over a conventional rotary mower for edging my lawn. My old string trimmer had reached the end of its useful life, so I just bought a new four-stroke Ryobi to power it. This was my first time using this setup and I was totally blown away by it. Cutting with this tool is like using butter, and the scissors do not throw debris like string trimmers do. My scissors are a bit heavier than the heads of string trimmers, so I bought a shoulder strap to make it all work out. The reason why I chose 4 stars on comfort is that these are not for someone who just wants to cut their lawn and get it done, but if you are looking to create a professional looking lawn then these will definitely put you on the map as a baller.

The program does what it says it will
3/5

of all, it's pretty cool to have a tool like this to go along with my multi-head Only problem is that I was unable to use any of the sleeves as the hole for the bolt runs on the wrong side. The only con is that it is A pair of earplugs is required for me.

Unlike what it seems, it is heavy and not as nice as it seems
3/5

It is very difficult to use these scissors due to their weight. It takes a lot of effort on those of us with joint issues. They cut very well, but you have to weed by moving the grass to the side to see how much more there is As you can get closer to the bark with these, but you must still be very careful when using them around trees. A lot of the chain link and steel mesh fencing on my five acres is chain link. During the cutting process, a fence was struck. Damage to the scissors or the fence is a concern to me. In order to trim my fences, I will stick to my string trimmer.

The weeds are slayed! Here are a couple of things to consider
4/5

It is good to note If you swing this like a golf club and bash it against where you are trimming, it won't damage your fence, siding, etc. Unless you really swing it like a golf club and bash it against your wood or plastic trim. A great deal of grass, weeds, woody vines, and small saplings are effortlessly glided through. Any object that can fit between the teeth will be immediately divided. If you use a string, you can trim a long distance very quickly without having to go back and hit the places you missed. Now, you can trim in shorts, and there will be no shrapnel flung at your legs, or at your siding, windows, pets, or There's no need to mess around with strings anymore. I was initially attracted to this because I was so excited! The place is no longer littered with bits of plastic string. There is only one bad thing I have found this to be incredibly expensive. I paid more for this than I did for weed I attached it to an eater. There is a lot of weight on this thing. made of stamped steel, so you'll need to have some kind of safety harness to help you carry the A mulching action did not take place. It mulches your cuttings when you use a string trimmer. As a result of this, they just lay over, as the thing cuts them at the base and just lays them there. It's therefore necessary to come back with a rake and remove the cuttings so that they can be mowed up with the mower. There is a danger to this object. The thing will rip your fingers off instantly. While I don't want to get hit by a string trimmer, I know that this thing won't be kind to my hands. There is a much higher level of courtesy expected of it when compared to a similar vein, be sure to clean up your coaxial, network, or any other cables you have attached to your house (those with slab floors like me) or else you will cut them all to pieces (don't ask me how I know this). They are kind of beat up by string trimmers, but they do not chop them up. I think it's more useful for digging through dirt and it does have replacement blades if money is not an issue. It does say you can edge with it, but, at its price, I can't justify using it for digging. Take the time to read the above and weight the benefits to determine if it's a match for your needs. The electric string trimmer in this photo is mine, but I'm not selling my other. When I need to do some heavy cutting, I will use that for light work and detail work, and this monster for the heavy lifting.

This is amazing
5/5

can't say enough about how useful this product is. It took me around 15 minutes to install on a multi-screen EGO monitor Hair trimmer for the head. Fencing and siding are cut perfectly and gently with this tool. This is also what I bought to line the borders of my There has been no sign of wear on the blades after I have edging several hundred feet of beds and sidewalks. Last but not least, I find the noise and weight of the device It has been said that it is heavy and noisy, but I think that is inaccurate.

String trimmers are not as good as this
5/5

It attaches to the shaft of a Shihl trimmer with the included square adaptor and avoids the use of trimmer line and fence for both reel mowers and regular lawn mowers because the scissor action does not result in yellow tips, but clean cuts. Easy to assemble and took only 2 minutes.
