Grass Gator "Trims & Edges" 5600 works good Sep 12, 2007
By Caraoke
"Caraoke"
I have a Ryobi 790r string trimmer and the string length blade cutter fell off somewhere. There was no way to operate the trimmer as string would keep coming out of the bump head and tangling up. A new blade, about the size of a razor blade, was about $3 and $6 for shipping, outrageous for something one could mail in an envelope. I had noticed the Grass Gator attachments before and went back to the chain store to see if I could find something to help. I settled on the medium duty Grass Gator "Trims & Edges" model 5600 for around $9. This was easy to put on but make sure you lock your shaft and turn that old head off in the correct direction or you may break your $45.00 drive shaft. The Ryobi head is lefty tighty and righty loosy. The "Trims & Edges" worked great the first time with a bit of original string damage from cutting high grass and weeds. The second use I pulled out the original string with needle nose pliers, measured two new string pieces from a spool of red Shakespeare Pulverizer .095" and easily pushed the ends into the holes of the "Trims and Edges" head. A single fitted line spreads out to two cut lines so you have four spinning cut lines. The "Trims & Edges" worked great again on my Ryobi 790r with little string damage even after going along the yard chain link fence a few times. So don't worry that you might have to change string a few times in a single use without the old bump head feeder. The string should last a good while. I highly recommend the Grass Gator "Trims and Edges" 5600 replacement head which fits 42 brands of trimmers if you are having bump head, string tangling or blade loss problems.

Priceless Aug 06, 2010
By Gene P. Louie
This is a great replacement for any gas-operated grass trimmer. The design is simple, the plastic body is very durable, and the device works as advertised.
.
The biggest advantages are:
.
. . . . . 1. You have four cutting lines instead of the usual two.
. . . . . 2. Lines do not get tangled.
.
The only disadvantages are:
.
. . . . . 1. You have to pre-cut several lengths of line in advance.
. . . . . 2. You have to manually reload line a few times during a job.
.
Balancing the disadvantages with the advantages, the extra 15-20 minutes of your time are worth the trouble. In fact, I purchased a second head as a "backup." It is still in storage after five years. The first is still functioning and has outlasted two grass trimmers to which it was attached.

Grass Gator 5600 Jul 16, 2011
By Michael Morneault
This Grass Gator fits the bill for ruggedness and fantastic design. Finally, no more tangles and what a great job it does with the .90 string.
I have told everyone about this item and so glad they make it. I can do my yard over and over before I ever have to replace string and I have a big yard. String replacement is so easy that a child can do it and like I said, the design is fantastic. Get it..Easy to put on your weed wacker and get rid of the tangles or string binding up forever.

I replaced the horrible factory head on an inexpensive Homelite with one of these and it works great. Using it with four lines on a low powered trimmer is okay but it's slow to spin up when you press the throttle. I also had to place an extra washer under the head (only one was supplied) to keep it from wobbling on the Homelite. The heavier line does a good job and barely shows wear compared to the original. I've only had it for a short time so it remains to be seen how well it will hold up.
