I used the 18v Ryobi string trimmer a couple nights ago too, and it got the small job done, though I wouldn't say it was a great tool. It has a single 5" line (10" diameter) that is a bit underpowered. I don't need anything better for my yard, but for a large yard I would want something with more power. Also not thrilled that the line advances any time the trigger is released. That has me walking around with a spinning head as I reposition just so I'm not wasting line.

But, it has no adjustment for the carb and the fuel lines leak. I don't have enough property to need the gas version.
Reconditioned Worx trimmer is on sale with 2 batteries for $58 right now (price reflected at checkout).

Probably worth it for the batteries alone.
