All the popular power tool brands make a ton of excellent tools and accessories, but if one stands above the rest, it's probably Ryobi.The company has a loyal following of DIYers and offers over 350 products that all work with its 18V ONE+ battery system.When it comes to weird tools, Ryobi is one of the best, and that includes a versatile new tool that might be perfect for renters or those with small yards.
As we all know, Ryobi makes all the common items DIYers, homeowners, and professionals use.I'm talking about drills, drivers, impacts, lights, saws, etc., but what truly sets Ryobi apart isn't performance, but affordability and all its oddball tools and accessories.A prime example is the newly released Ryobi 18V 3-in-1 mower, edger, and string trimmer combo tool.
Here's what you need to know.One tool for all your lawn care needs Green grass not included Close Announced earlier this year and released in August, Ryobi finally has an upgraded version of its unique 3-in-1 lawn care power tool.The outgoing model was discontinued, like several of the company's products, and now it's back and better than ever.
Ryobi's new and improved 18V ONE+ 12-inch lawn mower, edger, and string trimmer 3-in-1 tool (PCLST05B) is only $159, and can handle all sorts of jobs that you'd usually need three tools for.Gas or even electric lawn mowers are expensive, and that's without getting an edger or trimmer on top of it.That's what makes this versatile tool so neat.
It can do all three of those jobs at one affordable price point.The 3-in-1 lawn tool from Ryobi is perfect for light-duty maintenance in small yards, tackling weeds and getting straight edges on small patches of grass or walking paths.Related 5 Ryobi tools you need to level up your lawn care Get ahead of weeds and trim that lawn until it looks like a golf course.
Posts By Cory Gunther Out of the box, it looks like any other string trimmer from most brands.You have a long, adjustable handle, the string trimmer on one end, and the battery compartment and trigger at the top.It features a telescoping shaft and a versatile 3-position head designed to quickly trim, edge in line, mow, or fold for convenient storage.
It goes from an edger to a trimmer with the push of your foot and a quick rotation.But what makes it unique, aside from the 3-position head, is the attachable 12-inch lawn mower deck with four large all-terrain wheels.When you're ready to mow a small yard, get it out and snap the trimmer and pole assembly into the deck.
From here, you have a capable (albeit small) mower with four height adjustments, making it easy to cut or scalp as low as 1.5 inches or as high as 3.5 inches for a lush lawn.My retired father recently bought one for his small yard in a retirement community, and says it's fantastic.He didn't want to spend hundreds on a loud gas lawn mower and deal with maintenance, only to mow one tiny patch of grass.
Then, to keep up appearances, he'd also need an edger, trimmer, and weed whacker, making that trip to Home Depot even more expensive.The Ryobi 3-in-1 mower combo tool is perfect for his needs, and after using it four times, he's sold.Anyone with a small yard might want to consider something like this as a cheap solution.
It's also a consideration for renters, as long as the yard isn't too big, because I'd hate to mow a quarter acre with this little guy.Even if you have a newly built home in a master community with a slightly larger yard, this might be more than enough to get the job done.Sure, you could get a bigger mower later, but in the meantime, this little gadget is certainly up to the task.
Related Ryobi's best advantage over Milwaukee isn't power—it's all these oddball tools Weird tools you'll actually love.Posts 9 By Cory Gunther According to Ryobi, a single 18V 4Ah battery will keep it running for over an hour, and that's more than enough time to tackle an entire yard.The package also includes a grass deflector and an optional front handle for improved usability.
And if you have a ton of obstacles, trees, and bricks around your small yard, this would be far easier to maneuver than a full mower.Keep in mind that this 3-in-1 combo tool is brand new, and some Home Depot stores don't have it in stock yet.Once they do, keep an eye out and grab one yourself.
