Hi @Carlton,

Choosing the right Ryobi 36V line trimmer depends on your yard size and the type of jobs you’ll be tackling. For a larger properties or dense grass, the Ryobi 36V 40cm Straight Shaft Brushless Line Trimmer Kit is a great choice. It offers the widest cutting path at 40cm, a powerful 710W brushless motor, and up to 60 minutes of runtime on low speed, and runs 2.4mm line, making it ideal for heavy-duty work. Its quick-connect design also makes swapping attachments easy.

If you need a versatile, high-performing tool for everyday yard maintenance, the Ryobi 36V HP 35/40cm Line Trimmer Kit stands out. It features a lightweight carbon fibre shaft to reduce vibrations, a petrol-like HP brushless motor, and compatibility with thicker 2.4mm trimming lines for tougher grass. The adjustable 35-40cm cutting path adds flexibility for both detailed and broad trimming tasks.

If you are budget conscious, the Ryobi 36V Brushless 33/38cm Line Trimmer Kit is an excellent option. It provides reliable performance with a slightly narrower cutting path (33-38cm), supports 2.0mm trimming lines for lighter jobs, and includes a 4.0Ah battery and charger to get you started. This model balances affordability with functionality, making it perfect for casual gardening. 

All three of these 36V Ryobi line trimmers represent a significant step up in power and performance compared to the 18V versions. The higher voltage and brushless motor technology provide petrol-like power, making them better suited for tackling larger yards, thicker grass, and more demanding trimming tasks. Whichever model you choose, it will handle your yard maintenance efficiently and with ease, offering an excellent balance of power, control, and convenience. However, for thicker grass I'd go with the Ryobi 36V 4.0Ah 40cm Straight Shaft Brushless Cordless Line Trimmer Kit RLT36X4BL as it has the wider 40cm cut width and also accept the thicker 2.4mm line.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
