          Fantastic machine made by a USA company
          Excellent RIDGID tool, fully compatible with my batteries Speed 1 did the job, speed 2 is to cut oak trees :) I saw pros videos complaining about power, it is absolutely false My yard is 9900 sqft(see pics) it did it with 1 (2amp) + 1 (4amp) no recharge, impressed with the power and handle allowed me to turn it 180º for edging easily no flipping necessary I am amazed by this machine, go for it, it is all you need for home yard, it feels sturdy By the way "made in Vietnam" not China

            Metal pin??
            My trimmer works great and is great value for the money. Taped to the brush guard was a 3 inch metal pin. The instructions don’t say what this is for and I can’t find any info online. Can anyone assist in what this pin is for?

                Ridgid String Trimmer
                My gas trimmer finally went out, decided to make the switch to cordless. This definitely exceeded my expectations. I was concerned the power wouldn't be there, but that isn't the case with this trimmer. Its very light weight, with a ton of power. Even has two speed modes so you can dial it back as needed. I have a few other Ridgid tools so the value with a 4ah battery made this choice easy.

                    Powerful, lightweight, efficient trimmer
                    Assembly out of the box was simple enough and took just a couple of minutes. It was not tiring to hold after trimming ~0.25 acres of grass edging or around 25 minutes of time. I'm excited to see how it will perform on longer grass/weeds once the weather warms up here in the PNW.

                      Quickly overheats
                      The trimmer works fine with a large amp battery. A two amp battery last less than five minutes before overheating and shutting down. I used a nine amp and cut for about twenty minutes .

                        Poor Design for removal of Bump Feed Trimmer Head
                        I purchased the Ridgid R01201B Trimmer 5 weeks ago and am pleased with its performance. However, when I recently attempted to remove the “Lower Bump Feed Trimmer Head Housing” due to a jam with the string, I found it almost impossible to rotate, counterclockwise, the Lower Head Housing as instructed in the Owner’s Manual. Instead, I had to secure the Upper Head housing in a bench vice, then use a hammer to gently tap the Lower Head Housing counterclockwise. This is some type of design defect.
