Tools Now Is A Lousy Business:
I bought this combination String/Edger/Hedge trimmer from Amazon who was the agent for a company called Tools Now. Tools Now Internet Sales Department 650 N Lincoln Spring Hill, KS 66083 I got the first one.....yeah the first one. And in an almost comical way someone had sprayed expandable foam right on and into the motor housing. I spent a couple of hours scraping all that out. But I really didn't care cause it's just for the lawn whatever. It was a good deal. Then I put it all together and ran it for 5 minutes. Shut it off and it wouldn't start again. I'm a 48 year old male farmer. I have in excess of a million dollars worth of farm equipment. It was getting gas. It had spark. The motor had lost compression. I contact this Tools Now place. And had to send it back before I could get a new one. My dad (who is 84) and not much longer for this world, and I Were, are every year in a home yard landscaping contest in the entire county on the 4th of July. We needed this thing back fast to compete. I told Pamela Andersen the deal. (That is her real name. Customer service at Tools Now) Just hoping since they already have two strikes, the foam (crazy) the break down, I was really nice, that she would give a crap and expediate my return unit. After I sent a kiss her butt email asking for her help I basically got a "get in line sir, when your turn comes you'll get proccessed like everyone else I hate this F'in job thank you." So then nothing for a long time. I finally email her and ask what the problem is....."Oh, shipping forgot to tell me your return unit had arrived.....sorry." Thanks. I got the unit on the 5th of July. The contest was on the 4th. We got 4th place. Really we thought this was our year. I have had better service from pot head type kids on ebay. I would advise you to stay away. Not a good experiance. There is more to selling and buying then just the product. Good service when you need it is worth it's weight in gold. And I'm not sending any more of my gold to Tools Now. Kansas. If I would have known it was coming from Kansas. That's almost as bad as Canada.

good bang fot the buck:
Bought this recon setup for $139. All three attachments work well. As other reviewers have stated the hedge trimmer is heavy and awkward but once you get the shoulder strap adjusted properly and get used to it, it works great. I would buy again especially since I got three tools for the price of one.

Ryobi combo trimmer/edger/hedger:
Positive so far, but haven't really worked all the blade combinations much yet. Motor starts easily, runs smoothly, and the tools seem to have good balance. NOT on a par with a Stihl, but very attractively priced...........

Dortch:
I've been thrilled with the Ryobi® String Trimmer, Hedge Trimmer and Edger Combo. No real problems getting her up and running and swapping out components. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is due to the surprise weight of the hedge trimmer - HEAVY. I could manage, yet only for a short period of time, then switch arms, then put down and rest. My package came with a nice extender to reach the high branches, yet it was just too cumbersome for me, and heavy. I could not be more pleased with the whole package. Got my whole yard looking real nice.

2 cycle:
Product was listed as a 4 cycle, (no mixing of gas and oil), they shipped a 2 cycle....I haven't used so hope it works fine..looks good.........
