Easy repair and great customer service.
14 screws to remove and put back, but it was an easy replacement. And with the right part my Ryobi string trimmer is working great again.
That is once I got the correct part. First part I recieved did not quite fit. Not the fault of eReplacement or the part manufacturor. Turns out the replacement number given to me by HomeDepot help desk was not the one for my particular Ryobi. But I got got online and did a part search myself, and found the right one. sigh... The end result was that a $4 part cost me $20 including shipping. Opted not pay to return it as it would have cost me another $6 in shipping fees.

The parts were the exact same as the one I broke. I order several because it looks like this is something that breaks often. Fast and easy ordering and very fast delivery to my door.

Repaired my Ryobi weed trimmer.
The trigger lever on my Ryobi trimmer broke. The part was easy to pick out using the parts list breakdown & pictures. The part fit perfectly. Fixed my trimmer for under $10.00. I would use eReplacementPart again for sure.

Tools Used
Screwdriver
1. Take out battery 2. Remove eight screws. Leave the 3 at the top in the handle, tape over them so they don't fall out. 3. Apply tape to the lock trigger to hold it down and out of the way. 4. Apply pressure to the spring pushing it down at the same time push the prong on the switch. 5. The trigger should lift off with little effort. 6. Replace all the items in reverse, taking time to let all set into place. 7. For my own felling, I placed a small amount of grease on the contact area of the spring and trigger.

Parts Used
The repair for the most part was easy.
Two items that posed a problem.
1) The screws to take apart the plastic handle are TORX, and one of them is recessed so deep my small magnetic torx bit, could not reach the screw head. I was able to remove the screw using a straight blade screwdriver but it took quite some time to get it out and I had to file down my straight blade to get it to engage the head of the torx screw.
2) I happen to have crimp on electrical connectors so it was not an issue to make the switch wiring connections but if you are trying to use standard "screw on" electrical wire nuts it may be difficult to lay the wires back into the plastic cavity. There is not much room in the plastic handle for the wiring/connection lugs to lay in.
Other than those two items the repair went fine. Good as new.
