I got one. 70505 had 4 in stock at the north store and 2 in stock at south location. This is a heavy duty trimmer compared to my other 2 ryobi trimmers which are for light stuff. Some reviews stated that respooling trim line is difficult, will see what happens. 30 day return policy if needed. TOOL ONLY, no battery/charger, but I have plenty of batteries already.
HD site and app states clearance price is only for instore purchase, not for shipping nor store pickup.
First let me say most of my tools are on the Ridgid platform with about 20 batteries ,and was not interested in starting buying batteries a new tool platform,but because new tech i got a Ridgid to Ryobi adapater and my $70 trimmer works flawlessly, the Ridgid 18 volt trimmer was north of $200

Those people are out of their minds, respooling is no different than my previous Ryobi trimmer and is incredibly easy - pop out the spool, find the midpoint of the line you just cut, thread each end through the eyelets, and use the included winder to wind up the rest of the line. I'm not sure how they could make it much easier tbh.
Even if you lose the winder, doing it by hand isn't that bad.
My only complaints about this vs my previous are : the trigger is a little more annoying with the folding "lock" component (vs a large lockout paddle you simply hold down on the older one)
and this one has a bit of a longer delay for spin up vs my previous model. Not a huge deal, but it's slightly annoying having the longer delay when trying to dial in the right amount of pressure on the adjustable trigger.
I'm sure I'll get used to it.
The bigger width, quietness, brushless power/battery life, are all worthwhile upgrades IMO. This one also doesn't seem to need a cool down period when you work it hard for a while vs my older model.
Certainly worth the $70 and the whisper /brushless leaf blower on sale for $80 is an even better upgrade over my past unit.
Get 'em both!
