Ryobi Expand-It Hedgecutter - spare parts?
Hi,
My hedge cutter sadly has been abused to death (by me). Without having dismantled it fully, it sounds like a stripped gear in the head that converts the rotary power coming up the shaft to reciprocating motion. Could also be the clutch... But before I sacrifice a morning and make a big greasy mess on the kitchen table, *can* you get parts for these things? I've googled to death for AHF02 (the model) and Expandit Hedge trimmer spares and nothing... Ta Tim -- Tim Watts Managers, politicians and environmentalists: Nature's carbon buffer. |

Ta Tim Have you tried the cunningly disguised http://ryobispares.com Oddly, very disguised - they didn't come up. But genius on you for the link - ta. Device seems to have a code name of HS1100 and it has to be one of two gears that's stripped: http://ryobispares.com/assets/applets/HS1100.PDF I'll search the actual device for model numbers, but that looks like the device alright, but the RRP on each of those gears is 23 quid (+VAT I expect). Still, it's cheaper than a new device if it's only one gear and I bet it's the little pinion gear. Seems to have no clutch which seems poor for something that *will* jam occasionally in normal use, on an oversized twig. Probably why the gear is (almost certainly) stripped... or even http://www.shouldersofshoreham.co.uk...Bamp.mvc?c=Ry? Did find them and drew a blank, but now that I know Ryobi refer to this as an HS1100, they do list the gears. 35 quid each!!!! Nearly as much as the device cost (Ok was on special offer). Rediculous - the device is eminently serviceable and there is no way a gear should cost more than 10 quid. Should be a law against that (especially an eco-law). I'll strip it down and see what gives - thanks very much  -- Tim Watts Managers, politicians and environmentalists: Nature's carbon buffer. |

My local lawnmower shop (Redblade, near Southport) has obtained Ryobi bits for me in the past. They have a big book of everything, it does show up in the end, but they always complain about Ryobi being awkward to get the parts for. Quite often though, I've fixed a Ryobi by machining a new part from scratch - and better than theirs was. My fasteners don't shake loose like theirs do. |

Witness the Pollyfilla advert I saw the other day aimed at twenty-something couples who find even filling a small crack in a wall a complete mystery without phoning their dad. Pete |
