Yup loads of places seem to have the ryobi... on the plus side the
attachments are readily available and cheap, but most of the reviews I

Warm starting seems fine on the 25cc engine. Line feed is OK. Flimsy -
maybe; I'm having some suspicions about the starting cord ratchet but if
it's dodgey I'll make sure I break it in the warrenty period.
