Stripped gears after 2 years [Posted on 2004-04-05]
It did an OK job of trimming but I did grow tired of replacing the line. Replacing the line isn't extremely difficult but it is time consuming. I switched to an aftermarket cutting head (big mistake) which had 3 plastic blades. Even with the blades I never used it to cut anything heavy, only for very light use. After about a year with the blades the cutting head decided to quit spinning. After taking it apart the cause of the problem were 2 gears that stripped in the cutting head portion of the trimmer. I wouldn't recommend this trimmer except for extremely light use.
Frustrating with the spool [Posted on 2004-05-22]
I bought this and returned it to Home Depot within 3 weeks. The spool was a nightmare, it wouldn't come out, etc, etc. Avoid at all costs!
Ryobi 765R 2-Cycle Straight Shaft String Trimmer [Posted on 2004-07-08]
I've had several string trimmers and this is by far the hardest one I've ever tried to start. I've spent as long as 20 minutes trying to start it. When I finally get it started, I'm too tired to trim. Would not recommend it to anyone.

Ryobi 15" 31cc Trimmer [Posted on 2005-07-18]
This trimmer has given me nothing but trouble from day one. The "easy feed" bumper spool dual-line system did not work, so I replaced it with a universal easy-load head. Then, the transmission gears worn down & the trim head wouldn't turn. I replaced that unit for $60 (my own labor).
The unit has always been difficult to start, & requires excessive pulls to get it to ignite.
This has turned me off of Ryobi products, probably for good.
