Hi Tyler,
I have never taken any notice of these Ryobis I have always just thrown them in the whipper snipper pile probably 10 of the Ryobi ones there. I started having a bit of a play and the motors don't seem to be the problem with them it seem the big thing that gets these dumped is the bump heads fail and they are rendered useless. Have you or anybody else tried fitting one of these manual type heads? I have ordered one to see if there is some way of fitting them.
