Expand It attachment compatibility

Since it looks like its time to replace the motor bit of the line trimmer, does anyone know if the Ryobi expand It attachments fit any other brand of trimmer?



I don't want to lose the investment in add on bits, but at the same time am less keen on Ryobi than I was ;-)

Someone mentioned Husquavana a while back IIRC

Yup that was me! ;-) (my hedge cutter was from them).

Not many places do them, and none of those I have seen so far have a split shaft.

Makita do one, plus a similar range of accessories, but I don't know if they are interchangeable.

all 'expand-it' branded items will fit.

Will fit what though? - that is the question!

i.e. if I get a brand of trimmer other than Ryobi that takes similar accessories, will the ryobi expand-it ones that I have fit? The look similar to Makita's for example, but looks can be deceiving.

Has this discussion really been going on since 2010? Brian

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 fiddl> >> Toro powerhead will fit ryobi
