Deal Details
I saw these in the clearance section at two different Home Depot's in the Denver area. Some came with a 4ah battery and charger for $99.99 or tool only for $69.99. This is part of the Expand-it series so the motor will work with any of the attachments in that line up.

I'll give a thumbs up, because a deals a deal and every tool has its uses.

However, I do have to say that if you have thicker weeds and/or thick grass that needs trimming, to spring for the 40V when a deal comes around. I had an 18V for a while, but the weeds were just too much for it. Just one person's opinion, take it as you will.

Yeah fortunately this attachment will work on the 40V models as well so you can easily upgrade in the future if needed.

Grabbed one off the clearance section and not the garden aisle in SoCal. Nicer than the 13" brushless one I just returned.

What size battery were you using. 1.5, 4, 6, 9
Because a 9 ah battery would be significantly different especially in a product that needs the power like this.

I have this. Use it around my 3 acres. For regular string trimming this is fine. Anything with a woody consistency will prove to much a challenge. Any of your standard weeds and grass are easily cared for with this. I would like to get the tree trimming attachment and test it out. I would recommend this.

Where are you guys buying replacement spools from? Homedepot wants $20 for a 3 pack which seems a bit steep. Amz and eBay, and Walm seem to be saturated with off brand versions that many try to lie that you get ryobi ones but you don't based on reviews. What's a guy to do?

You're still gonna be pretty limited. Even 9AH batteries won't push more than 35A sustained. 35x18ishV is 700W (being generous). Compare that to the 25A that even 2AH batteries will do on the 36V line (900W) that's a good chunk of power. Some attachments (tiller, power broom) really need the extra oomph. But some don't, and if you're not going there, this is a pretty slick deal.

While true pointing to batteries larger than 4AH as having more power is a bit misleading to the average consumer. My rule of thumb is check the manual to see if it specifies a battery size or see what the tool is bundled with and make a note for future reference.

A 3AH Lithium+ HP battery should produce as much power as a 9AH Lithium+ HP, but just for a shorter duration of time. The HP only matters if you have brushless tools (like this one). I am not positive where the output difference line is, but if you run something like the airstrike brad nailer with a 1.2-1.5AH battery you will think the tool is broken. Slap in a 4AH Lithium (not lithium+ or HP) and it works as expected. I have been told it's because the battery has two packs of cells with separate connections to the terminals so it effectively doubles the output power the tool can draw (or something like that) while the smaller batteries are a single pack of cells and single connection. You would think 18v is 18v so take it with a grain of salt I guess. All I know is the smallest batteries can lead to performance problems in some tools, but going to a 4AH battery pack or larger resolves them. There are quite a few tools that are only bundled with the 4AH batteries or higher while some tools like the drill and driver will be bundled with the smallest 1.2AH-1.3AH batteries.

The really odd thing is Ryobi has not been straight forward on this and all batteries work with all tools is their biggest selling point. I did a quick double check and HD sells the Ryobi Nailer with a 2AH Lithium battery https://www.homedepot.com/p/RYOBI.../309086436 I don't see it now but I could have sworn the description used to tout like 400 nails with the smallest 1.2AH battery they have. Currently the description reads 1700 nails with a 4AH battery. Regardless if you have performance problems your batteries may be a old style and you should always try with a 4AH minimum before throwing in the towel (HP if it's a brushless tool, but that even seems to be going away).

Are you saying this attachment will work with 40v batteries? Or that the string trimmer attachment will work with a 40v end?

This setup has the 18V motor included but the string trimmer attachment will also work with the 40V motor. Rumor is that Ryobi is doing away with the 18V motors for their lawn care items and going with all 40V in the future. This is likely the reason these are going on clearance, but I figured it's still a good buy to get a brushless 18V motor for simple yardwork. I dont have anything in the 40V line up yet, so this was more about being able to use my existing stock of 18V batteries.
