Really? Are these worse than my $40 ozito corded ones ?
I think they're referring to the actual line, not the tool itself.. but reading below possibly your ozito is better
Fascinating.
I, like Im sure a few people, haven't heard about this.I will admit I am skeptical about it.
Watched the video link here and it mentioned it for lines left out in the sun.
Is that what your lines do¿.Only asking as mine are kept in a garage so not in the sun.
Also.. as Im not Line trimmer expert, Im not even sure what the lines are made of. Asuume Polimer or plastic. Which makes me wonder, that if this works by absorbing the water, how does it absorb into this as it looks more like plastic.
I know you may not know this info, but as I say.. Im genuinely curious about this.
Garbage science in that video and not worth watching (i haven't lol).
The sun will break down plastic (it's radiation after all) and plastic is NOT absorbing water as it's a hydrocarbon. Nothing to do with the line being 'dehydrated'.
@eddyah: Although this video may not be well presented, before you put your foot in your mouth you may want to first know that these lines are mostly not plastic by nylon.
Feel free you put your confirmation biases aside for a moment and do a bit of googling. You might surpise yourself on what youll find on this subject.
And I mean reliable sources. Not just other people posting their opinions.
@FredAstair: Yep - checked out the Stihl link below - happy to say i'm a shoe eating idiot on this occasion :)
Mine are stored in the shed, but I suspect they are dried out by the time I buy it. I soak mine an hour before use and get a lot less breakages.
@rabbit71: I'll have to give it a go. I use thicker quality line in my cheapie 18v Ryobi line trimmer and it cuts well enough just the occasional break of line that gives me the shiats
It's false… Soaking does nothing and no one soaks their cord 🤣 they're having you on but it's extremely funny to see!
Just buy good cord, 2.4mm for lawns and 2.7mm for anything else. Guards are optional but I'd look at getting a Stihl 94rce or a 525lst they're the 2 go to models in Australia. You'll notice with the 94rce you instantly use less cord.

Good advice…

Nylon is a type of plastic… Do you need help getting your foot out of your mouth?

More good advice. Perhaps you should listen to your own advice 😁
@1st-Amendment: All Nylon is hygroscopic, meaning that it can absorb and hold onto water. Because it has oxygen atoms incorporated into its structure, Nylon has a high affinity for hydrogen bonds, which is why it attracts water from its environment.

Do you need help getting your foot out of your mouth?
No. not really
@1st-Amendment: wow.
geez thanks for pointing out there are different types of plastics.
No one would ever know this till you pointed it out.
lol.You actually feel the need to add this type of reply here¿
Rather unnecessary and more like a trolling tbhNo one would ever know this till you pointed it out.
You said it wasn't plastic… Glad I could help you work it out…
You actually feel the need to add this type of reply here
The irony…
Soak the spare line in water, or just get the steel wire core line.
Same question to you here as above.
Do you know how this works¿
Any decent info on its claims.
@Richardc: Well there you go.
Although this link looked like a line trimmer website and there some could still argue that this could be unreliable, it does explain how the lines are hydropholic (not sure on spelling) and many lines are nylon.
I did a further few searches and what a rabbit hole.
So many agreed while equally many disagreed, but in the end the lnes who agreed provided better logic and proof than those who didnt believe it.
Im certainly going to give this a try after this.
Appreciate your reply.
Cheers.
Mate just got one of these and the motor burnt out within the first few minutes of use on short suburban grass.
Had a similar issue, returned and bought next model up
Best time for it to fail is at the start though. Easy to return. Mines been going fine but wouldn't call it a powerful trimmer.
I returned a fan to bunnings after like 3 years and no receipt. You be alright
Just looking at the stores list, of stores with stock on hand, And seems to be mostly just city stores in WA only.
Country stores don't seem to have any stock of this model
Bought one as a throw away 7 years ago. Still going strong…
Dropped mine recently and it is not working.
Serious Q. Ever done that and found a solution.
Just trying to decode whether I might need to buy this one here.
Cheers.
If you're lucky the drop will have just bumped a connector loose, if you're competent you can open it up and re-attach.
Less lucky and the drop will have broken a wire or solder joint due to poor strain relief in construction, if competent open up and re-join/solder.
If unlucky a circuit board inside is cracked, or damage to the motor itself. chances are you'll have to throw it away.
Do you have the receipt?
Is it the same model? If I look at Bunnings the line trimmers have a different handle and head than the one shown here.
I had to exchange my after 1 use and the motor died. Wasn't very easy to get a refund from Bunning either, had to really push for it.
Quite the opposite experience I’ve ever had with Bunnings. Never had an issue before
Had the same issue with needing to return, however the return was easy
This deal or Ozito? https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/823645
I've only got a small yard to trim around the edges
ozito if you can find it
4ah would be a bargain imo..
What would you make it out of? Even petrol powered ones are made of plastic.
Oh right, I was thinking on a much deeper level. Like how oil is a finite resource and how when we eventually run out, we'll have to substitute it for wood/steel etc.
Just a random thought, that's all.
You could use ethanol to make plastic. Ethanol sourced from sugarcane/corn.
Or better yet, dont have a lawn. Then you wont need a line trimmer… can still go deeper than a rabbit hole.
@Sweetnsour: Pretty sure science could develop a real lawn that does not need cutting. But that would destroy an entire industry.
The real point of the product is to be more convenient for casual users with a small lawn.
Those people dont need the extra cutting power or want to worry about petrol and associated maintenance.
Slap in a battery and go…. which is what I do, exept with the brushless HP version for a 600sqm block.
Omfg
I have the same one for 4 years and working really well. I don’t use Ryobb trimmer line but this one https://www.bunnings.com.au/oregon-2mm-x-12m-supertwist-trim…
Ryobi one is 1.65 mm and the one you linked is 2 mm. Do these thick ones fit easily inside the spool and the hole ?
Yes it fits well. Have used 2 sets so far
How much is it normally?
99
Not sure why this is a deal then?
"When it is time to edge, easily twist the shaft to turn into an edger, and comfortably get the job done with an overmold handle"
- [Ryobi Product Page] (https://www.ryobitools.com/products/details/46396039484#)hmmm….
My mum has this one. Ok for a small yard but I would go for a dual line one if you have any sort of yard.
If you are already in the Ryobi ecosystem a spare battery is nice for this price also.I have the Makita battery one which was about $250 and it's been fantastic. No need for a petrol these days unless you are a professional gardener.
2ah on 18v isn't going to last long at all.
Would only be ideal for extremely small jobs.
I'm running a 36v Makita line trimmer (218v), I usually use up most of 24ah batteries. I'm on an average size lot with average usage.
Is this one better in terms of reliability? (OLT1832)
https://www.bunnings.com.au/ryobi-one-18v-25-30cm-cordless-l…
It costs $20 more at $119 without battery.
I have a small garden.
I find those adjustable heads tend to end up with slack in them after a few years use. Makes it hard when you are edging, you can't beat a fixed end whether it's single or double line
Thanks. I was referring more to the motor as this one seems to be unreliable.
However, the slacking issue is a good point for consideration.
$99 is the regular price. No deal.
$99 is the regular price like mentioned above. No deal.
I think it's a decent enough deal if you have a Ryobi drill or might get a Ryobi tool ine near future
The line trimmer is good for a small city garden especially one a slope
Mines about 50m2 lawn at most on a slope quite uneven so not worth a lawnmower
Use your own trimmer line for these. The ryobi stuff is absolute garbage that will stick together and snap off all the time
