The Best Step-by-Step on Rotary Scissor Conversion and Attachment. Kudos🎈👍🏾

[@dwaynesworldlawn]

Thanks Darrell. Appreciate the kind works!!! Thank you for your support

[@sj7601]

Great informative straight to the point video! You made my installation process easy.

[@dwaynesworldlawn]

Nice. The only negative feedback i have gotten is from people that have an ego trimmer that’s not the multi shaft unit. The straight shaft without the multiple head are a drive by wire that doesn’t allow for installation with the rotary scissors. In either event I’m glad you found the information helpful and appreciate the comment and support !!! 👍🏻

[@wadewoytek]

There also another service bolt for grease on the right side of the scissors where the shaft would insert. That one is for the connector rod of the Ego itself. You mentioned it already had grease but it will also need more when you service the rotary scissors itself. Great video! Helped a lot!

[@dwaynesworldlawn]

I think i know what you are referring too. I appreciate the comment and can mention it in future video. When service i am sure i will record it and put it in future videos. I appreciate the comment and support 👍🏻

[@karmicselling4252]

Thanks for the video. Here is Australia, there is a potential issue with warranty coverage for the Multi Tool Power Head unit if anything other than an EGO product purchased from an authorised EGO dealer is used. The EGO Multi Tool Rotocut attachment is similarly priced to most of the third party ones available to us here in Oz. However there will never be an issue with warranty coverage with the EGO branded kit. And that EGO product is designed specifically for EGO Multi Tool Power Head units. Plug and Play. Cheers from the Land Down Under.

[@dwaynesworldlawn]

Thank you for the comment. The ego rotary scissors look like a great option especially for the reasons you bring up. I will say they are not available in the states believe it or not. I do appreciate the support. Cheers

[@SunnyBermuda]

I like my Stihl rotary scissors, but definitely not a replacement for the string trimmer. Give those blades a shot of Fluid Film, too. 🌞

[@dwaynesworldlawn]

For sure!!!! Thanks Sunny!!!

[@dmoss9968]

Hey buddy this Darrell. U gave me some advice & a referral. Thanks again & you’re right about that Fluid Film. It’s Awesome! Take Care

[@RonHenry]

Awwwww yeah. Here we go. 🙂

[@dwaynesworldlawn]

It’s game time!!!

[@xalint1]

What really bites is EGO sells them over seas such as UK and AU.

[@dwaynesworldlawn]

Yes. I wish there was a us version 👍🏻

[@dhowting]

This will only work with units WITHOUT line IQ or power load/split shaft. SOME ego trimmers use a head mounted motor so no drive shaft just wires. Im assumong this only works with the multi tool models.

[@dwaynesworldlawn]

Yes you are correct…. I mentioned this in one of my more recent video. If you want to take a look. It’s at the 6:00 min mark. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h52ohoirirWdn7c

[@dennisthomas87]

Can I use EGO Power+ ST1502SA 15-Inch 56-Volt Cordless String Trimmer with Rapid Reload and Split Shaft

[@dwaynesworldlawn]

I would assume it would work but can’t be a 100 percent. My reasons was it just made more sense to use a attachment as i already had the power unit. I also didn’t want to get rid of a string trimmer as in my opinion the rotary scissors are awesome but there are a few times it’s better to use a string trimmer. Hope this helps 👍🏻

[@dhowting]

No you can't........the motor for the power load units is in the head so no drive shaft running down the tube, just wires.

[@oldmanwaugh]

Can I swap onto an EGO edger instead of a string trimmer?

[@dwaynesworldlawn]

I have never tried it but my feeling is yes. You would need to verify it’s a shafted design vs drive my wire which is used in the trimmer unless you have the multi head unit. Sorry i can’t give a definitive answer.

[@richardlegislador853]

Will this work with the EGO’s line IQ weed eater??

[@dwaynesworldlawn]

I do not believe it will work as the egos with a straight shaft that is not a multi head are a drive by wire vs shafted. Hope this helps

[@nathenjohnson2113]

Can we get links to the parts that u used in ur video

[@dwaynesworldlawn]

I included links in the description after this comment and have updated the description. Let me know if there is anything else you need. Just keep in mind that there are quite a few variation such as tool only and or what battery and size. These factors will Change price and packages offered by ego. Hope this helps you out. 👍🏻

[@danniecarmona2509]

Do you have to get the extra shaft and can't just swap out heads?

[@dwaynesworldlawn]

If you mean swap out the shaft on a edger i believe it will work. Some people have also mentioned that if you get the pole extension which has no head it will also work but i believe it’s a little shorter in length. If you have a full shaft trimmer that is not the mutiple head unit i do not believe it will work as it has a drive by system and not a inner spine shaft. Hope this helps. I also mention this in one of my other videos on the 8 month review of the Terre rotary scissors. 👍🏻

[@davidchurchill1651]

Does terre rotary scissors work for the 60v Dewalt weed whacker?

[@dwaynesworldlawn]

As long as the trimmer has a shaft that spins the head i can’t imagine it wouldn’t work. In some cases such as ego trimmer that is not a multi head it’s a drive by wires system and will not work.

[@letmebreakitdown2u152]

Big question. So we have to buy the entire ego String trimmer first? So that this thing can attach to it? Because thats quite pricey if you have to FIRST purchase a whole separate tool to get this expensive tool? ?

[@dwaynesworldlawn]

Yeah. It’s a big investment. If you are starting from scratch you will need a ego trimmer multi head unit style. A lot of the other ego trimmers don’t have an actuall shaft and is driven by wire. Once you have the ego multi head you will need to either buy the one with the trimmer attachment included or like in my case i purchased the ego multi head with a edger attachment. I then purchased a ego trimmer attachment when i purchased the rotary scissors. The other option would be to adapt them to other string trimmer such as a gas powered one. The only thing is they recommend a 30cc one which is a big trimmer. I like electric as there is instant torque which helps move they rotary scissors fairly easily. Hope this help. 👍🏻

[@letmebreakitdown2u152]

@@dwaynesworldlawn ok I think I understand. There's no getting around purchasing a trimmer attachment head. Ok thanks!

[@atsvc43]

@@letmebreakitdown2u152 I was thinking of doing this with just the mult-head and the extension arm that I have for my pole saw instead of the string trimmer. It should work although you may loose and inch or two on the length, but the extension is only about $55 vs $115 for the trimmer

[@letmebreakitdown2u152]

@@atsvc43 I'm not sure that's possible. I think we MUST have a string trimmer head to do the change. I don't think it would work if you used an extension pole ONLY. (But correct me if I'm wrong,)

[@joefigueroa6059]

So did you put the set screw going up or did you put the set screw going on the side and did it change the angle?

[@dwaynesworldlawn]

I didn’t use the set screw location that was on the original trimmer head. If i did it would cause the unit to be turned 90 degrees. I just went ahead and inserted the shaft into the new rotary scissors and just tighten the side set screw on the rotary scissor. Have had no issues and it works fine with set up i went with.

[@joefigueroa6059]

Sweet thank

[@joefigueroa6059]

@@dwaynesworldlawn sorry to bug you one more time. How would I be able to do it with the EGO weedeater that has the self feeding line

[@dwaynesworldlawn]

@@joefigueroa6059 you want to make sure it’s shafted and not a drive by wire system. I believe the auto head is a drive wire system and would not work with rotary scissor. I could be wrong so you want to do some more research.

[@keemiller4526]

The EGO ST1500 is not the right tool as I have gotten ST1500SF & ST1502SA and there's a wire that goes down all the way down and not a pin within the shaft. Can you please clarify which actual EGO string trimmer model you used please?

[@dwaynesworldlawn]

I address this is another video on my channel. I have linked the video below and is at the 6:00 mark. The ego trimmer that you want is a multi head unit. You will then want to purchase if not include the trimmer head attachment. When using this attachment it’s not a drive by wire but rather a traditional shaft. Sorry for the confusion and appreciate the comment and question kzbin.info/www/bejne/h52ohoirirWdn7c

[@2burning2turning]

Most cost effective way is to buy and extension bar and mount rotary scissors

[@dwaynesworldlawn]

I have heard that would work, however i believe the extension bar is shorter which will impact the over all length of the trimmer. Good call though. I like it! 👍🏻

[@smoothblak78]

This does not work on the earlier model of the Ego trimmer since it doesn't have the shaft down the middle, just wires 😩
