Ryobi RLT26CDS 26cc Start Easy Line Trimmer   

I have seen this on ebay, it says it is manufactured refurbished so I was thinking I would get it for Christmas.  Do you think it looks ok?

I've had one from new and I think I've been influenced by people saying it is hard to start.  Maybe that's why they have added 'Easy start'  to the title.  Go for it.

Cheers,  Tony.

I have a Ryobi and to be honest I wish I had saved for a stihl.

After a few hard works it would not run so I phoned a mate who phoned a mate and I took it to him and he told me straight .....Ryobi drills etc great but petrol  you will be better with a stihl.

Anyway to cut a long story short he took it apart and cut slots through the running adjustable things ( not sure what they are called) and he told me I could use a screwdriver to adjust them now , if he didn't do that then I would have to have it serviced with Ryobi every time because they would be the only ones with the tool to adjust this and it would have cost me a fortune because since then having it 1 year I have had to adjust the things 4 or 5 times .

I am saving for a stihl  :)
