THE BEST Ryobi 40 Volt Expand It Hands-On Review on YouTube! (Model# RY40250)

[@DaveBuildsIt]

What are your thoughts on the best cordless trimmer with expandable capabilities?

[@maggarlion]

Ryobi expandit gas trimmer. I have both the 2 cycle and 4 cycle heads. More power when I am using it for weed wacking. I use the 40 v for my auger hedge trimmer, pole saw and angle grinder.

[@lilcheetah28]

I bought Ryobi because Milwaulkee is taking their sweet time getting a lawn mower. I bought the Ryobi 40V HP 21" brushless mower and the 40V HP expand-it trimmer. I like my stuff to match. I haven't used gas mowers for 4 years and now I can get rid of cords. Used the trimmer last night. Tripping on or splicing cords are no bueno.

[@DaveBuildsIt]

I would like to get an electric riding mower but the prices are a bit insane. Since moving to Florida and having a postage stamp yard (temporarily I hope), my ICE Cub Cadet and Ryobi trimmer/edger/blower does the trick. In about 25 minutes. I miss the big yard.

Iv had the first gen for years man. Iv moved to a big fit hill property. It’s kinda turned into my back for my fast around the house stuff. My mother ran over my Stihl…. Man I wish I was kidding.. so after a lot of thought I am getting the new (2021) carbon fiber I think brushless 40v. And the brush cutting. Got a lot of work to do. Subbed man:)

[@DaveBuildsIt]

Thanks for watching and subbing!

bought this the other day from Home Depot.. $139 with 4 amp battery.. cant beat that deal.. the battery alone if bought separate is $139! used it once and i can tell it will serve me well for some time to come.. that lawn of yours looks dope btw..

I'm debating heading there now for this. I think this video finally sold me on it.

[@DaveBuildsIt]

That's a great deal! Glad you saved some $$$. We moved Florida two months ago and are temporarily renting. Hopefully the new homeowner will appreciate my efforts. But this rental lawn sucks!! Full of weeds and over watered. I don't care if it's not MY lawn, it won't look like this when we leave.

[@DaveBuildsIt]

Awesome! I know you will enjoy it. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@joebustos6413]

Their 4 cycle really does put the attatchments to work hard. Great set.

[@jondawson9726]

Amazingly informative: "It has a little holder, so that you know... you can...... hold it." LOL

[@DaveBuildsIt]

I am glad that you enjoyed the video. Thanks for commenting!

[@joebustos6413]

Ryobi is a great product. It's power is crazy unbelievable. The attachments are so dag gum handy it's my best tool for making jobs easier.

[@DaveBuildsIt]

I have not been disappointed yet. You really don't know what a pain gas motor is until you have a reliable electic.

[@1voiceofstl]

Just got the exact trimmer. Once I get use to it I have to get the edger.

[@DaveBuildsIt]

Once I hit the one year mark I'll provide another review. But so far I could not be happier with a trimmer unless someone else was doing it for me.

[@ghiawafa3353]

Thanks for the review!!

[@DaveBuildsIt]

I hope it was helpful to you!

[@lynnparker6407]

[@DaveBuildsIt]

Thanks for watching!!

[@miguelgayon6409]

great video, keep it up!

[@DaveBuildsIt]

Thanks!

[@ARCGremany]

Thanks. This was very helpful

[@DaveBuildsIt]

Glad it was helpful!

[@juergenwelz2591]

What I'd really like to know is whether or how much the Expand-it line of products loses power and battery efficiency when compared to a dedicated single purpose tool. I would expect some motor head to tool coupler friction losses stealing a bit of power and a few watt minutes from the battery. I don't expect the average home reviewer to buy multiple versions of tools and appreciate your efforts to help buyers make an informed choice.

[@DaveBuildsIt]

That's a fair question. If I owned a lawn maintenance business, I would likely prefer single-purpose tools. It's just not cost-effective for the average owner. However, perhaps a test of different attachments on battery efficiency would be interesting. I have the tiller attachment (used once on a gas-powered tool). Let me know if you think it would be an interesting video to test various attachments.

[@dewocheerecords]

Enjoyed the video

[@DaveBuildsIt]

Thank you!

[@Bam-BamMoore-zz2vk]

DAMN-DUDE, DID YOU EVER OUT-KICK YOUR COVERAGE!!!

[@DaveBuildsIt]

Dude, I KNOW RIGHT!!!! 😂😂😂

[@vjfromnj]

Lol steel toed flip flops. Thanks for the vid.

[@DaveBuildsIt]

Thanks for watching!

[@lonesomehomestead9045]

Have you ever used the tiller? Curious if it actually can break anything up

[@DaveBuildsIt]

I have used the tiller attachment on a gas-powered trimmer. I used it to break up a sodded area to lay pavers for a patio (roughly a 10x12 space). It was not ideal. It was easier than doing it all by hand, but it was a lot of work I would guess that a gas-powered, purpose-built tiller is heavy enough to do most of the work for you. A trimmer is not. Not sure an electric tiller would be either unless it was a small area.

[@xfaisx]

you got skills

[@DaveBuildsIt]

Thank you!

[@BabyfaceATL]

sold

[@DaveBuildsIt]

Awesome! You will not regret it!

[@Sweetster444]

Does the battery pack get hot while using it?

[@DaveBuildsIt]

I have not noticed it getting hot while using it. I have noticed then using the edger and it binds, I have to push the charge indicator button on the battery before use again. It's rare and it may be by design, but I haven't had time to research it yet.

[@joseloco2348]

I go full blast with mine an 20mins in it gets hot. So i got another an switch it out an i get a little break as well. But i do high thick brush an it clears it well. But it gets hot if u use it full blast for 18 to 20mins

[@nodescriptionavailable3842]

Even a fuckin Tshirt! Lol!
