Ryobi 24v Li-Ion Cordless Edger Review

Ryobi 24v Li-Ion Cordless Edger Review
I started using the Ryobi 24-Volt Cordless Stick Edger (model RY24310) this year and I've been completely blown away by how well it works and decided it's about time I posted my review here. I've used it practically every time I've mowed and it has become one of my favorite lawn power tools.

This came as a big surprise to me as I really expected it to be horrible. With only a 24V battery I didn't expect much from it. Boy was I wrong!

I received the RY24310 from Home Depot in order to provide feedback on it. If it wasn't for that, I never would have even thought to buy it thinking it wouldn't be that good. I just didn't think it would have enough power to do as good a job as the Black & Decker LE750 Edge Hog corded electric edger I've been using.

To be fair... It's not as powerful but it is powerful enough that I haven't used the LE750 at all this year. Understanding the power limitations of it helps. I have some tips for using it to get the most out of your RY24310 edger.
