Love This Trimmer [Posted on 2004-07-18]
I am a single woman who wants NO problems with lawn equipment simply beacause I can't work on them. I was at a local hardware store and found this Ryobi 132r TrimmerPlus on the clearance table. (...) I haven't weedeated all spring or summer and it cut right thru all the tall weeds and grass like butter! I didn't have the owners manuel but was able to find it right here on this site, my next purchase will be the blower for it! Buy this trimmer, you won't be sorry!
Don't get too close to hard objects [Posted on 2005-05-14]
Brand new, the trimmer spool didn't release cord, so I decided to use it for a few minutes with the cord that was left before going inside to study the instructions. Bad idea. I got too close to some concrete steps and accidentally let the spool contact them. With a tool this powerful, watch out! The spool and casing exploded into shrapnel. The spool is a spare part, but the housing is not. You have to send it back for service. My previous trimmer was a cheap Black and Decker, and I never had problems with the line feed and it seemed rather indestructible. It seems like a very powerful tool, possibly too powerful for its own good. The housing of the spool should be metal, and the drive shaft looks like it could be stripped easily.
good design [Posted on 2005-06-21]
This trimmer is well designed. It makes a lot of sense to have the motor on the end of the stick opposite the trimmer string and makes it easier to balance. Be sure to install the attachments right side up or you'll block the motor vents with your body and arm (make sure the logo isn't upside down when using it.) I used it to trim overgrown ivy, vinca, and weeds and it worked well - although this isn't the machine for major, thick brush cutting or fiborous plants. Probably need a gas motor and a metal blade for heavy work.
I'm here looking for a new one! [Posted on 2008-04-03]
I just threw my Ryobi 132r Trimmer plus in the trash. Yep, darn thing could only take about 10 years of HARD yard work and flower bed construction. In all the years I had it, I replaced one thing on it, the screw down bumper. When I bought it, people who are supposed to know about good lawn care products told me Ryobi was a bad product...wish I could remember who they were, so when I buy my NEW one, I could show it to 'em.
You won't be disappointed if you're thinking about buying this trimmer for tough jobs...unless you drag it down the road behind your pickup truck before each use!
Why would you discontinue a good thing? [Posted on 2008-05-25]
Left my perfectly functioning Ryobi 132R in Texas - let it convey in the house sale. It held up to a lot of abuse, like new after three years.
Wish I had brought it along to NC.
Now I cannot find a new one. It looks like it has been discontinued, unless it's now re-badged as a Troy-Bilt. It doesn't look the same, however.
