ONE+ 18-Volt Lithium-Ion String Trimmer/Edger and Blower/Sweeper Combo Kit - 2.6Ah Battery and Charger Included

I used this string trimmer two times since I ordered it on July 2020 . Now, its connective edge of tube broke apart. You can see in attached images. I just connected the tube twice and it broken. The plastic parts are too weak to handle the heavy head.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this about a month or two ago so far works great!

The trimmer and blower are both lightweight and easy to use. The battery last long enough to handle most average size jobs. This combo is a great product and worth the purchase.

WOMEN BEWARE - The products themselves work fine, but the batteries are designed so that anyone with small hands (i.e. women) will find it impossible to remove them once the job is done. They're designed to be removed one handed, but smaller hands can't reach all the way around and disengage the locks at the same time - see picture. I've learned to dread the 10-minute struggle session I have when it comes time to remove the battery, and as long as Ryobi's batteries are designed this way, I won't be buying another one of their products. Ryobi, please design some women-friendly batteries!

Super easy to assemble and for the price, it's a great return on the investment. I used it for a very over grown back yard and worked very well. It took down some weeds that were about 3/4 inch thick. (Was only able to upload one photo due to size limit) For the autofeed to work, you have to let go of the trigger for 2 seconds, I neglected to do that, but once I figured it out, it worked very well. I was able to use a smaller Ryobi battery from another set that I had and was able to use the weed-eater for about 15-20 minutes. And that's on a battery that is half the size and was partially used. I imagine on the battery that comes with this set it would work for about 30 mins. I just didn't have time to wait for the charge.

Second set. Fan broke in original blower after about 5 yrs. Got another set same as first. Trimmer is great for a light weight trimmer. Easy to handle and my main trimmer for just under 2 acres with structures, trees and a pond. Cuts cattails as well as my 40 volt trimmer and thick weeds/ grass surprisingly well. Battery lasts 1 to 2 hrs especially when new. I wore first battery out after 5 yrs. Highly recommend this trimmer and blower set. Handle broke on first trimmer but I installed it upside down. Actually I love the trimmer without handle so never replaced it even though you can get a replacement. Picture is of old set and new set. Haven't actually used new trimmer yet as old one is still working great.

Great product saves a lot of time being battery operated love it

I bought the original set many years ago, about 6-12 months after I first Saw the blower on ryobi's site, but I hadn't seen them in the stores until the combo kit came out for $99 one summer around 7-9 years ago at Home Depot. I mainly also bought it after the 2 NiCads from my 6 tool combo set started to die. These are what I had in my combo set. P2105 Blower P2005 Trimmer The blower became my most highly used tool and the Trimmer became the 2nd most used tool. The lithium battery still has pretty good life after years of weekly use, for 6-8 months out of the year. I still get 70%-80% of the original usage time out of the battery. It's definitely not quite enough to complete all my work in one use, but I use the blower daily during the fall, so I just split up the task over 3 days instead of just 2 days when I come home from work. The blower's fan/impeller cracked 2 weeks ago and, as far as I can tell, there is no replacement part available, or I would have just fixed it. I might epoxy the blade to the shaft or just remove the motor for some hobby project. I use the blower to clean the leaves off my very large deck as well as clean out the gutters just before the rain. We do have a lot of trees around the house, so we constantly get leaves during the fall. It's not a very powerful blower, nor is it a powerful trimmer, but it was adequate for my needs. Since the Ryobi 40 Volt blower and trimmer combo kit is now on sale, I bought that as a replacement and I can actually finish everything in a single go. The blower is very light weight so the wife uses it too. I got the trimmer, blower, battery and charger at a fantastic deal for the $99 at the time. There was no 40V models back then, and it was really the only battery powered trimmer and blower set at the time, so I bought it. The newer 40V model is a bit heavier so the wife's already complaining about it.

I love the cordless aspect of these tools. They are light and super portable, which is exactly what I wanted. The string trimmer is perfect for my yard/needs, the blower will do 70% of what I want and need. It is great for blowing off the porch and walk ways and even the garage. When the fall leaves drop in earnest, I will likely go back to using my stronger corded blower, but having this smaller option is great. It just doesn't have the same strength to handle the soon to be wet piles of leaves. Still, for the price, I am thrilled with them, and having the battery interchangeable with my drill is bonus for sure.
