Any one used a Ryobi 2stroke?

McCulloch doesnt seem to be to popular in the group? How does the Ryobi
compare?

It is better to have a model with clutch or direct drive? What are the
advantages/disadvantages?

regards


I have a 4 year old Ryobi 2 stroke 'power pack' i.e it will power a
strimmer, brushcutter (or hedgecutter but I don't bother) all from the
same unit.

I was bought it as a moving in present. It works fine but I found that
the shaft was not long enough and caused awful lower back ache (I'm
6'2'') when using the strimmer or brushcutter. Solved by making an
extension piece.

It does have a clutch.

The suppliers are what I'd call a serious garden tool firm - they stock
big lawn tractors and are a Stihl dealer. They freely admit that they
only stock the Ryobi kit for the low end of the domestic market - which
suited me fine.

Can't really say much more.
