Here is (I believe) a complete list of the attachments:

http://www.powertooldepot.com/lawnattachments.html

Very odd that the Ryobi website doesn't have a list of the attachments,
although it's so damn slow I doubt I would have the patience to wait for the
page to come up!!

I have been impressed with the edger and the blower....also the vacuum when
it worked!! Dunno about that snow blower attachment, but may for a sidewalk
or something for some one who has a huge two-stage, 6-speed w/reverse
snowblower.

BTW, Home Depot have about a 1,200' roll of .080 string for $20. Better deal
than those little packs!
