The trimmer works very well. No complaints.
The battery doesn't last very long with the blower before needing to be recharged. However, if you are already invested in the EGO system and have more than one battery, it's a nice tool.
Not the lowest price, but still a good deal.
Bcz of they are keeping one item and returning the other

No you can't, it's sold as one single combo in one box

The trimmer in this kit is only a trimmer and can only ever be a trimmer. To reload the trimmer string, it is a manual process.
The "power head" and "multi-head" system has the switchable attachments to turn those specific units into different tools. This kit does not include that system.
"Powerload" is a button on some of the trimmers that allows a faster trimmer string reload. The trimmer in this kit doesn't have that either.
If they are "used" but look brand new, it is also possible people are buying kits for the batteries and don't need the tools.
This video may help you decide if purchasing one of the more expensive EGO blowers is worth it to you. For me, it was not. I use the blower in this kit on "Turbo" mode almost entirely. That's where having more batteries is helpful.
This is my 3rd summer using the kit for sale in this post and I think it's great for the cost. I no longer use a gas trimmer. I originally bought this kit for the battery, charger, and blower. The trimmer I considered a bonus because I already had a ST1523S trimmer.
I actually like the trimmer in this kit MORE as it is slightly less powerful than the ST1523S. Having less power, causes less damage when accidental contacts are made with my fence posts, siding, etc. This thing plows through my grass, weeds, and small plants easily. It can take out some small trees too. Once the diameter of a tree trunk is about that of a pencil it's 50/50 if it cuts through it or just strips off the bark and tangles the small tree.
EGO's batteries are so expensive that when any main part of this kit goes out/breaks for me (the battery, the bower, or the trimmer) I'm probably buying it again and keeping the extras until I need them or selling the parts I don't need. That's how much I like this kit and it's a good value for what you get included.

Ego is definitely the lux, expensive brand and will face issues due to Trump given it's entirely a Chinese company. Ryobi is also manufactured in China, though.
Ego quality sounded higher to me so that's why I went with Ego. But it's definitely expensive Chinese crap. It's still all plastic.
Off topic, how much did your insurance cover you burning down your garage? Mine has seen better days...
