Note sure what the question was here, however I can confirm that Ryobi
style attachments can be made to work on a Sthil Kombi power head. It does take a bit of fiddling to get the bits mated sometimes though since the ryobi shaft does not have the alignment bush that guides the internal drive shaft into the coupling on the power head.
