36v 2Ah battery
Are batteries basically the ink cartridges of electric tools?
No, because they last a long long long time. I've got Ryobi batteries still going strong after over a decade.
Are you serious ? Ryobi 36v batteries are the most shonky ones that I ever had the pleasure to use. Cannot even be left for 1 year and expect it to work the next year.
I have both 18 and 36v going strong for years and years with weekly usage.
@Volumedestroyers: I have already done the Ryobi 36v twice. Both times battery capacity never made it to the 2nd year.
I'm a infrequent 1~2 times a year user. So most of the time the battery is stored in a cool place 50% charge to preserve it.
On the 2nd year, the 4 led lights on the battery, once it drops to 3 lights, the tool will start to stall and battery will blink 1 light.
I had exchanged the kit (tool + battery). After that not doing this anymore. Took a refund and straight away money went into a Ozito which battery is still good as new into the 3rd year.
@adventurer: My personal anecdotal experience is , both with USB power banks and tool batteries, that storage is the death of them.
All my tool batteries that I have used for work, have lasted years and years up to 10 years.(capacity declined but still very usable)
But quite a couple of USB banks and a few tool batteries that I have left in storage - only charging 1-2 times a year - have gone bust. 🤷♂️@ripprind: After dealing with this 2 times I think 36v is susceptible to degradation if it's used in the intended purpose "residential user" meaning infrequently.
Doesn't matter how much care has been taken to store it long term, same result.
@adventurer: Not sure why you are being downvoted. 36v is more prone to failure for the simple reason that they have twice as many cells and if 1 cell fails the whole pack fails.
Also Ryobi battery packs are not sophisticated enough to rebalance cells so over time that 1 cell that is out of balance will ruin the whole battery.
Have a couple that are like 6+ years and still pretty good. Always keep them charged up. I think I recall hearing they are Li+ if you keep them at flat charge they lose holding power over a much shorter lifespan.
I've only had 1 fail out of three I had. But was just over the warranty period so they honored a new one for me.
The one that failed was from 9 years ago. The newer ones have lasted very well.
orange sale signs = all bunnings
yellow sale signs = store specificI have the 18V version of the expand-it whipper snipper and it has been fantastic (Appears to be an identical design other than what battery it takes.). I got it because I was going to get the edger as well, but it's been doing such a good job edging on its own that I haven't bothered.
No idea how far a 2ah 36v battery would get you though. I go through 2 4ah 18v batteries with a solid amount of work around a 700 square metre block.
That only has 1 data point, taken on the 16th. Same RRP on the Ryobi page - is it a new product?
limited time product
It’s not a bad price for what looks to be a useful multifunction tool but that’s the normal price and is not a discount price at bunnings.
@choofa: I used to always keep an eye on ryobi prices and I assume this is just better value proposition than other similar products. Still I would expect the OP to mention that.
Is the mount for this battery the same used on their 36V mowers?
The bigger mower battery might unbalance the whipper snipper but this one might not be a bad spare when the mower one goes flat.
I need an edger. Is it worth getting this for 399 or just get the 299 18v one. I already have ego stand alone whipper sniper and stand alone hedge trimmer. I don't have any ryobi battery appliances.
For an extra 100 youre getting 2 attachments and a bigger battery.
I would try out the 2 attachments and if you like it sell the Ego tools or flog the ryobi attachments off for 50 each
get the $249 kit instead if you don't want the attachments

Not Brushless though
ah right - I didn't see brushless in product title, but you right about it being in desc
I need the edger. Already have an ego 56v line trimmer. Wasn't sure if the performance of the 36v was worth the little bit extra.
sorry - I'm blind - doh
How does this compare to the Ozito 18v line trimmers?
Would it be a worthwhile upgrade?
Stick with your Ozito. Ryobi 36v batteries are a nightmare experience.
I haven’t used the 18V, only the 36V version. It gets the job done, but it’s single line only. I did upgrade or side upgraded to the Ryobi 36V, and on high, it feels a bit more powerful. But honestly, there’s no need to spend more money when what you’ve got already works just fine.
I bought this recently as used the hedge and whipper sniper on over grown lawn. Lasted about 40 minutes
Just wait til the battery starts to age. Takes me multiple charges to do my yard now.
Just go with the Ozito ones—two 18V Ozito batteries in series. You can easily make 3D-printed adapters for them.
I've been keeping a look out for the 18V brushless line trimmer as I'm already in the 18V Ryobi ecosystem. Mildly frustrating that with the cost of batteries it doesn't seem to be cost effective going across brands or even across 18V vs 36V within the same brand, feel somewhat locked in.
So have I mate. But Bunnings has a monopoly on Ryobi products in AU. They price gauge. It won't go on special. I've been waiting over a year now.
Isnt this Retail price? Can anyone confirm?
I asked the Bunnings guy and he said this is limited time making they might not stock this one all is sold out
Thanks
Dude this looks sick, if i wasnt broke…
I think just seen that kit at Beginnings Springfield Central for $250
website always redirects me to search page after clicking the link?
I bought this kit today. The hedger is just okay but does the job, the line trimmer and edger are pretty good though, especially for the price.
Having the weight of the motor in the body instead of the head makes it way nicer to use.
Be aware that the Expand-It system makes the tool heavier than if you bought a dedicated tool instead. So in case you have pain or joint issues it might be worthwhile saving up for the dedicated tool you need, and/or going for the 18v version.
Is this better performing then a standard 36v Ryobi whipper snipper.
Not sure if this brings performance issues
Got this today (https://imgur.com/a/7BGyLX8) on clearance $299
Battery works with the two 36V chargers I already own.
Username checks out.
Is this mainly good because it's brushless for multiple equipment in one?
Anyone used this?

Trying to work out if its better than the 36v 3 piece (hedge trimmer comparison). It looks like the 36v is more powerful but not as long…?
