Sure, they're a lot cheaper when you buy them in bulk like that. :laughing: When I bought a 2-pack of blades for my Echo PE-225 at my local dealer, they came out to about $4 apiece, and Home Depot is even more expensive. The Ryobi blades have a lot of fancy serrations and are thicker than the standard Echo blades, which is probably why they cost more. Anyways, I'm just a homeowner, and get about a year's worth of use out of a blade, so it's no big deal to me.

Thanks for review and updates.
I'm going to give this edger attachment a go, as I picked up the 40v trimmer recently, and happily it performs better on floritam (st augustine hybrid) grass than expected. The battery has more than enough power to trim on one charge to fit my yards needs, so hopefully the edger will complete the task as effectively with the remaining battery juice.

so I had just created a new thread about this edger, when I posted it the forum sw was nice enough to show me this thread... I bought a new edger over the winter for $79 I finally got around to testing it and it has worked very well. I was very happy to hear the the original posters experience was positive after all. Gives me hope mine will work out as well. I had not ready anything on the box about the connexion system tho' I am looking forward to this when new attachments come out.

The price has dropped another $20 to only $89 ! That's only $9 more than the cost of just a battery.

Haha, I'm sure you remember my good fortune when my first one broke after only 10 minutes use, and I returned it to Home Depot for a full refund. I got my second unit from Ryobi for free, which is the best price of all !
