Ryobi Cordless String Trimmer P2009 (2019)

Ryobi has offered a variety of battery-powered, outdoor power tools for lawn care since 1996. The current line of products is the 18 Volt One Plus line of tools that feature over 260 products designed to be an alternative to gas-powered lawn care. What distinguishes this line of tools from the earlier Ryobi tools is the lithium-ion battery technology. These products are divided into nine different categories:

• Power Tools

• Outdoor Power Equipment

• Lighting, Lifestyle, and Recreation

• Generators and Power Solutions

• Cleaning

• Storage

• Hand Tools and E-Tools

• Batteries and Charges

• Accessories

The Ryobi Cordless String Trimmer is classified under outdoor power equipment. It is a lawn care device designed to cleanly cut grass, weeds, and other low-lying nuisance plants. It's also useful on steep or awkward, difficult-to-navigate terrain. The trimming is accomplished by high-speed spinning .80" monofilament string. Instead of having a heavy motor on the rear end of the device, this model is made lighter and easier to use with its battery. Further, the monofilament line is lightweight, adding little to the strain involved in lawn care. Overall, the advantage of having this cordless trimmer is using a lightweight tool designed to make yard work easier on the user.

The Ryobi Cordless String Trimmer has highlighter green and black colors. It is a 29.5-inch long shaft with a handle and battery latch on the rear end. The front end has a grass defector and string head for the monofilament line on the other end.

This model comes with an 18 Volt Lithium+ 4.0 AH battery and boasts an 11–13-inch cutting diameter that distinguishes it from some of the other models.

The model number is printed on a sticker on the upper, non-detachable portion of the shaft.
