it will run for 9 minutes fully charged. That's it. Something wrong with the battery? Says it should last 45 minutes, but wondering if anyone else experienced this.

I have Ryobi everything, and have yet to be disappointed.

great for homeowners. Not if you're a contractor. I'm in on ryobi.

Contractors use heavier duty cordless tools

Yep, except for the mowers IMO. Everything else is great.

My Ryobi mower gets the job done just fine, but you definitely sacrifice a little power compared to gas.

Mine had issues after one week. Took it back and got a Toro.

Do you have this 18v trimmer and blower?

I bought my Ryobi blower and trimmer a few years ago

Thanks

What about the string trimmer/edger? Or the blower? Do the 18V ryobi versions of those work well? I already have ryobi

supertux

I have both and they’ve been great for me!

DraperCoug22

11/16/21 1:02pm

These?

supertux

Hmm. I did buy the combo pack like that, but they look slightly different.

I don't have the 18v ones, but the 40v trimmer and blower work great. So much better than the old gas ones I had before

I love my Ridgid tools, especially the lifetime battery warranty.

How does the battery warranty work? Have you used it?

supertux

11/16/21 12:17pm

I haven’t needed to. Have to register when buying the batteries.

bluecheese

11/16/21 12:20pm

Yup, just register and you get replacement at HD when it fails. It's great.

DeWalt 20V has worked great for me and they have almost every tool imaginable

I use DeWalt but I do a lot of my own framing and construction work.

You should go into a HD and see. That might be the case with some brands
