I had to throw away a 3-4 yr old edger yesterday. i was using the Lefty Lucy Righty method and it couldnt get it off. If only I had watch this video before attempting to remove.
AWESOME I GOING TO GO PICK ONE UP tomorrow I've had my Ryobi Weed eater for two years now and its still runs awesome 2 stroke gas mix .. I am looking forward to using this edger !
Are the threads ok on the mandrel? I'm sure it can be ordered from Ryobi, but first I would take it to you local lawnmower shop and see it they have it, or If you have a good hardware store near you they may be able to match it. If not, they may be able to tell you what thread pattern you have so you can order it.
@Deer Park Home & Shop its a left turn nut I've tried home depot where I purchased it and ace hardware plus a local shop all didn't have it... one easy task of changing a blade has become a nightmare.. 🤣🤣
@@keithundenson2566 You are right! I forgot about it being reverse thread when I answered your question. Have you tried ereplacements.com. I have had good luck with them when it comes to replacement tool and lawn equipment parts. The shipping will probably cost more than the nut though. if that's the case I always buy a couple of extras and put them in my I always buy a couple extras and put them in my tool parts drawer.
Thanks for this. I took this out the box and the blade wouldn't stay on because a washer was missing. I wouldn't have known if you didn't make this video.
@Deer Park Home & Shop I don't have other attachments just my string. And no I haven't tried lubricant but I notice it gets very hot when I try to detached it.
No there isn't. Of course, if there were notches the height adjustment would only be temporary. As you continually use the edger the blade will wear down and your cut will get shallower.
Yes it still works fine. It's less than two years old though, so the jury is still out concerning how long it will last. Thanks for watching the video.
@@deerparkhomeshop2471 I bought one used it today. The damn shield broke it was going through a lot. Our yard hasn’t been edged in prob 5 years. Kinda disappointed about that, think I found the part just need the shield cover thing for it. No picture on the part tho. Hope it’s right or might try to replace it
I've used the Ryobi edger attachment for over 15 years, by the way the "Echo" stick edger blade will too work on the Ryobi attachment, and they are about $3.00 at NC's Agri-Supply. I started using the 18 volt split boom model with the edger about three weeks ago, works as great as my Ryobi gas model, and it's Lighter ! Haven't been let down w/Ryobi yet, my gas unit is over 15 years old.
the HART edger attachment is exactly identical to the Ryobi edger but is sold at Walmart cheaper along with the other Hart/Ryobi attachments all but the straight shaft and sweeper attachment that Ryobi has but Hart don't have the gas powerheads but the 40 volt powerheads they are at Walmart Ryobi at Home Depot
I'll check that out. I would like to buy a hedge clipper attachment next. Do you have the 40v . I haven't used one and wonder if the rival they power of the gas model.
If yours is missing, you can try the parts dept. at home depot, ryobi.com or maybe ereplacements.com. A small phillips screwdriver works just as well as the pin though.
Im sorry if this is a dumb question 🙋🏻♀️ 😂 What does “disengage plug wire “ mean ? Where is that at ? When you change the attachment yes you turn it off then loosen the part where you switch out the part to whatever other part you are changing it to. But is there another part that needs to be disconnected as recommended by the manufacturer?
Not a dumb question. This refers to the spark plug wire on gas weed eaters. It was a safety precaution that came from the Ryobi manual, and I should have made it clearer, especially since many people have battery units that don't even have spark plugs. Sorry for the confusion.
@@deerparkhomeshop2471 , I wondered, why not just pull the battery? Good video I'm getting ready to buy the battery string trimmer with an edger attachment.
@@rebeccaoliver7977 You're right, If you buy an electric weedeater, you can do just that. If you have a gasoline powered trimmer like mine you pull off the spark plug wire.
You can use the Ryobi 18 volt split boom like I do, or you can use the 40 volt model, I started with the 18 volt tools and stayed w/those ... your choice I guess would vary if you say had the Ryobi 40 volt 21" mower or other tools using the 40 volt battery you might use 40 volt to keep your batteries the same as I do with the 18 volt power tools, hope this helped.
@@bradbarefoot2986 How long have you had yours? I am curious how long the batteries last before they go belly up. I have an 18V B&D system w/weedeater & blower. The batteries lasted about 4 years and they didn't make them anymore.
I bought the attachment in early April and I'm still on the original blade. I have about 1/2" of steel left before I have to buy a new blade. I mow every 7 to 10 days. Hope this answers your question.
Mine an the neighbor's drive way I'd estimate to be maybe 600 ft overall ... blade life, one every other month. One thing to remember, on the aftermarket edger blades there are thin an thick ones, the thin ones run about $1.50 each at Agri-Supply, the thicker about about $2.50 .. I use the thin ones. My 18volt split-boom Ryobi will edge the driveways, and then blow away the debris with the same 4 amp battery.
@@bradbarefoot2986I looked them up on line, and searched under "Ryobi edger blade" but it only listed a single blade for $4.99. How did you find the blades you mentioned?
