Purchased by me
The RTA2320 is a dual-blade rotary scissors attachment for the EGO multi-head system. No trimmer line, no debris flying across your landscaping, just clean lines against a driveway or rock border. Niche, but good at its job.
EGO Rotocut Rotary Scissors Attachment (RTA2320)
The verdict
Buy it if
you want crisp edges around driveways and rock borders and you’re tired of a string trimmer throwing rocks and mulch everywhere.
Skip it if
you mostly trim along fences and open grass, where a normal string trimmer feels more natural.
What’s good
- Dual blades don’t fling rocks or mulch across your landscaping or at your knees like a string trimmer does.
- Hit a rock and the blades push it down toward the ground instead of sending it flying.
- No trimmer line to change or run out of.
- Gives a precise, crisp cut right up against a driveway or rock border.
The catch
- The RTA2320 is a niche tool. The RTA2320 is built for clean edging, not general trimming.
- Around fences a standard string trimmer feels more natural, since you’re not worrying about how close the blades get.
What it is
The RTA2320 Rotocut is EGO’s rotary scissors attachment for the multi-head power head system. Instead of a spinning line, it uses a dual blade setup. That’s the whole point: unlike a traditional string trimmer, it isn’t going to fling rocks or mulch across your landscaping or at your knees. You do need an EGO power head to run it, and setup is easy. Loosen the knob, twist, and it locks into place.
What I found using it
The dual blades are the reason to get this. When you hit a rock, the blades push it down toward the ground rather than launching it somewhere random. And there’s no trimmer line to change or feed. For edging, I’d start at a higher height and work down and around the area you’re doing. That gives a very precise, crisp cut right up against the edge of a driveway or a rock border.
I also tested it around fences. The RTA2320 works, but honestly a standard string trimmer feels a little more natural there, because you don’t have to think about how close the blades are getting to the fence. So it’s not a do-everything tool. The RTA2320 is an edging and clean-lines tool.
Who I’d tell to buy it
This is a niche tool, and I’d only recommend it as one. But if you want clean lines around your landscaping and you don’t want debris flying everywhere, and you already own the EGO power head, it’s an amazing investment for that specific job. If you need one tool to do a bit of everything, a string trimmer is the more natural pick.
How it did in testing
This is a hands-on from real edging around my landscaping, not a lab test. Nothing here is a score. The RTA2320 is just what I found so you can decide if it fits what you’re doing.
The reason to want this one is simple: clean lines and no debris thrown everywhere.
| Test | What happened | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Edging a driveway | Started high and worked down for a precise, crisp cut right against the edge. | This is where it shines. |
| Rock borders | Cut clean lines without scattering the rocks. | Blades push rocks down, not out. |
| Hitting a rock | The blades dunked it toward the ground instead of flinging it in a random direction. | Big difference from string. |
| Around fences | Worked, but a string trimmer felt more natural for that job. | Blade clearance takes more care. |
| Setup | Loosen the knob on the power head, twist, and it locks in. | Quick, no line to thread. |
Living with it
The trick with edging is to start at a higher height and work your way down and around the area. Do that and you get a really clean line up against a driveway or a rock border. It won’t replace a string trimmer, but for edging it does something a string trimmer can’t.
The RTA2320 is a niche tool and I’ll say that plainly. If you want clean lines around your landscaping and you’re sick of rocks and mulch flying everywhere, and you already run the EGO power head, this is a great add.
