Tools and Hardware Reviews of Factory Reconditioned Expand-It ZR15518 Edger Attachment For String Trimmers
Customer Review: Not able
Summary: 1 Stars
It is impossible to rate this item as it requires attachment to the Ryobi 4 cycle weed wacker that was purchased in conjuntion. That has been in the shop for the last 2 weeks. It worked for 10 minutes and would not restart. Not what you need during summer growing season.Customer Review: Not for Ryobi
Summary: 1 Stars
This is not universal. The alignment is off center for my Ryobi trimmer and the edger attachment is on an angle.. Yes - I tried all the hole alignments. Hard to believe that this would not align with one of the popular name brands. I am guessing this was reconditioned because it is a factory error and no one thinks to check that it is mis-aligned. Someone else will get this as a reconditioned unit in a few weeks, would be my guess.Customer Review: Nothing wrong with this...
Summary: 5 Stars
unless you wish to spend more money on a new one. Don't know why though. Out of the box, and yes, the shaft looked like it had been used, but this is refurbished, right?. Everything else was new looking and it attached easily and quickly to our RYOBI trimmer with no problem. Couple of depth adjustments and we were edging. Nice clean look to the cuts (much better than using string). Very easy to use, but a couple of notes:
This is a rather heavy attachment.
Keep the RPM's high on your trimmer.
Go at a slow to medium pace. Initially, anyway.
If it doesn't attach easily, you are doing something wrong. Probably.
If you bend the curb guide, you are definately doing something wrong.
Keep the sidewalk, driveway, curb, to your left and you're good to go.
Almost want to do it again today, lol.

This attachment is the second most useful tool in grooming my yard. And so well priced when reconditioned!
Like some reviews said, I agree that the first trip is painful. But when used regularly, this tool makes the edge look great! I've even taken it to other places in the yard such as flower beds to re-establish the border, and later to "dig-in" for 3" composite edging.
There is an adjustment setting that allows you to move the blade deeper from the guide bar, but it really doesn't doo much. For me, it's either all the way up or all the way down. That is, 1.5" or just even. The guide bar requires you to place it on the left of the edge, so the blade cuts to the right. The only place the is an issue for me is on one side of the driveway where it comes right to the house. With that in mind, it's pretty simple to figure out a "one-way" path for your yard.
This reconditioned item came with a hanging cap that covers the open end when not on the weedeater/trimmer. This specific one has a loop on it that also allows you to hang it, and a hole for the detent and ball to fit in properly. I can't find them anywhere else and the other attachments I've purchased simply come with rubberized caps that are easy to lose. If you get one of those caps, hold on to it! It's gold!
For as little as this cost, it has done an amazing amount of making my yard look good! And now it's so easy.
