Anyone use these? I saw the patio scrubber which looked ideal for getting the weeds out of cracks. Came today minus the battery. When I checked that's how they sell them and you have to purchase a battery separately, which seems a bit of a con. They want 87 quid for a battery.
Is it worth the money or am I better sending it back? |  |

Cost £6.99 from the garden centre, came with a spare wire brush.
Man up and stop trying to be so middle class. |  |
| Enduringly lovable, intelligent and thunderingly exquisite. |

the battery is universal, so if you get more ryobi tools, you can swap the battery over...
that's it |  | | |

His gardener should have the sufficient tools to do it really. |  |

I do, got a lawnmower and drill, plus a couple of batteries. Had them years now. Both are good. |  | | |

Ryobi convert here.
Got the mower & strimmer deal inc battery.
I'd suggest that it's worth the battery cost IF you can take advantage of the other Ryobi portfolio items. If not.. |  |

Get searching on Amazon, you can up unbranded ones from there a lot cheaper. Mine has last 2x as long as the branded one, which died after a couple of years
Agree, you need to go all in on one brand - I have a combi drill, impact driver, strimmer and circular saw |  | | |

I have a number of their tools (hedge trimmer, leaf blower, edger, power washer) and have been impressed with their quality. As for the batteries, when I first started buying their stuff about five years ago they came with batteries but more recently they seem to be a separate purchase.
The only tool of theirs i would not recommend is their snow blower. Mine struggles mightily with our Midwest winters. The batteries just don’t have enough power to fully clear the ice and slush. |  |

I used to have a Ryobi fishing reel, but that not the line you’re taking is it? |  |

I just use a karcher pressure washer. Does the job. |  |

I’m happy with Ryobi. I’ve got a bit of their kit, a drill, a hedge cutter and so on.
All works very well, and seems to be of a higher quality than the other stuff I’ve bought.
Not being clear that you need to buy the battery is annoying, but then bundling a battery with anything else you buy from them, when you don’t really need it is wasting money.
I’ve got a number of Bosch batteries that have been bundled with stuff in the past, and that is something of a waste |  | | |

I went into B & Q to look at the battery and they had a Ryobi strimmer for £99 including the battery . Needed a new strimmer so killed two birds with one stone. | |

Sounds too much like hard work for a man of my age. | |

You're better off with a blowtorch for that job and you can solder pipes for fun too! |  |

I certainly wouldn't recommend putting it down with your dog, there must be far more practical ways of applying it.

They tend to run out when you're halfway through a task so a spare is necessary either way.
I've literally had one run out with a single last strip of grass left down the centre of the lawn leaving it with a Mohican. Unless you want to wait for the recharge each time that happens you need a spare. | | | |

Depends on the dog. Something long-haired would probably take up too much of the product, but something like a short haired sausage dog would be ok. You could put it on a bent rod, like a paint roller

I have a few Ryobi power tools and a couple of batteries. I have no complaints at all. I bought the battery lawnmower last year and it does my three lawns on the two batteries.
A clever idea to get you to be loyal to Ryobi having the interchangeable batteries, but it works for me, not having to have separate batteries and chargers for different tools. | | | |
