I now wish I bought a Ryobi. A friend gave me four Ryobi power tools to
go with my one Ryobi battery, but a string trimmer is not one of the

tools is to get the customer into their "ecosystem."

Watch out for counterfeit Ryobi batteries.  One of my friends gave me
three of these nightmares:

Notice:
- Two different types of 18650 cells.
- Melted FET.
- Fuse failed to blow when the FET burned up.
- Thermistor not touching the battery.
The only think that was good about them was that they were cheap. I'll
probably scrap them for parts instead of putting them in service.

Of the major battery powered too manufacturers, I don't think there is
one that I like.  Everyone manufacturer has a few problem products.
Little wonder because of the fast and furious rush to market when the
politicians decided to save the planet by forcing everyone to switch
to battery powered tools.

I prefer gasoline powered string trimmers:
