Ryobi 40V HP Attachment-Capable 17" String Trimmer Review

In this video, we take a close look at the Ryobi 40V HP Brushless Attachment Capable String Trimmer (RY40HPST02) to see whether it’s a smart buy for homeowners who want more power and versatility from a cordless setup. This model is part of Ryobi’s Whisper Series, delivers 32cc gas-equivalent power, supports the Expand-It attachment system, and features a tool-free adjustable 15–17 inch cutting swath. We cover real-world performance, how useful the attachment-capable design really is, and whether the quieter operation is enough to make it a better alternative to gas. It offers up to 45 minutes of runtime on a 4.0Ah battery in low speed, while high-speed no-load testing came in at just over 20 minutes. We also break down the design details that matter, including the 12.2 lb weight with the 4.0Ah battery, the shorter 68-inch overall length, and compatibility with Ryobi’s broader attachment lineup through its universal square drive. At the time of the review, pricing was listed at $189 bare tool and $249 as a kit with battery and charger, backed by a 5-year limited warranty. If you’ve been considering a battery-powered trimmer that can do more than just trim, this one looks like a strong option. #NewTools #Ryobi #RyobiTools #Lawncare
