I originally had a black and decker 20v trimmer and 2ah would last until I was done, but I ended up dropping it too many times. I was scared of 18v vs 20v, but man does this trimmer have power!
I've also reloaded the line and it was super easy! I would wind my own line on the b&d trimmer since it used a spool.
I highly recommend this trimmer to anyone in the ridgid platform, just make sure you have enough batteries for it!

I have a six AH and couple 4AH max output batteries, would that be enough for a 30-40 min run time?
I still have an older and much heavier gas craftsman trimmer, but it's heavy enough to have a shoulder strap and it sucks for edging, so I can wait for a better deal if needed.

Thanks for the review. Shame about the battery life, but good to know. I have Ryobi 40V for yard tools and I've never managed to totally drain a battery using the brushless trimmer even doing a couple hours of work, so I figured trimmers just didn't need much juice! My leaf blower will eat through a 6ah in probably 20 minutes or less in contrast.
If thats the deal that has the 8 year warranty, then yes. I have have a greenwroks chainsaw and the battery went bad within 2 months. They replaced without issue.
I'd also assumed that Ridgid was steering clear of lawn tools since they'll have higher return rates in the LSA program. But hey - happy to see this move happen.

I have a similar trimmer from TTI (Ryobi's "expand-it" system, which is their term for the standard attachment ecosystem) and it looks identical to this.
Plus, in the Q&A, someone asked, and the Ridgid rep said that is IS compatible with attachments "as long as they're compatible" - which is an odd deferral, but I can't imagine that TTI would engineer an entirely new coupling just for this one tool.
I don't own it (yet) but it sure looks attachment capable.
