Use gloves to change the blade ✅️

I bought one for pruning stuff in the garden and similar occasional, undemanding jobs - but I've been impressed with what else it will cut around the place. Surely not the fastest, but for a DIY type like me, more than satisfactory.

See for a compact tool its hard to beat the m12 im a weekend warrior no longer working on cars for a living and i have mostly ryobi but id still prolly get the m12 impact when i goes on sale just for the size factor when going to junk yard and such

Friendly tip: dont push so hard when driving in a screw, it goes faster that way.

This thing eats 1.5 and 2" schedule 40 PVC for breakfast and that's what I needed it for.

Thank you

What is the model number for the impact driver as there are a lot of 12v fuel impacts

I have also felt that the frames on the ryobi drills flex alot. Compare to the Pro brands Bosch, makita ect. Cheaper materials on the body

How about cutting upward? Cutting from bottom first (saw teeth facing up)

M12 gen 3 impact is the best battery power tool I think I’ve ever bought. It’s compactness and light weight along with all its features and power is unmatched. The fact that it matches the m18 brushed impact in speed and torque says it all.

And what about the Bosch you had at 2:58?

Any tool used to it’s limit will die sooner, my tools work really hard but I don’t push the limits with them just because it can do a big bolt doesn’t mean it’s a good idea I have Milwaukee Dewalt and Makita stuff for various reasons and they are all good tools obviously some better than others in some situations and jobs that is the reason I have more than one brand.

For the average home owner, the Ryobi things are fine

I use ryobi tools they work just fine for me, but I'm not trying to earn a living with those tools, I'm a professional welder by trade.

This tool is a god send for us plumbers in new construction, especially when you're working in the ceiling where there's framing, duct work, or whatever the hell else in your way.

If you are an electrician or joiner and have to drill hole with augers then this is not for you. 2 month amd it just runs for a second and cuts out. The older impacts are much better amd the surge, just stay away. The surge will fail in a year.

Torque test channel shows that having it this small the ring and planetary gears shear teeth and lock it up he had 6 do this in the video he showed it in. That's not acceptable in my book

I already have so many dewalt 20v tools. I really want the m12 drill impact driver combo. Its on sale half off right now. I reall don't "need" it, but i want it lol.

You are comparing 18 v to 12 volts is that reasonable?

You shouldn't buy Ryobi, that's the answer

So you’re saying it can do it, yes! Since I don’t even plan on ever putting in a 12” lag bolt it nice to know I could someday! But then again I could just get my M18 Fuel if I want to walk back into the garage… bwhahahaha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Which should i keep? I have both new Ryobi PSBCK102K2 Brushless $129.99 Milwaukee 2691-22 brushed for $155

I had this tool for like five years if not longer and . I neve had a problem. I completed a lot of jobs. And if i'm not mistaken, this is a second generation, and I had a first generation of this tool, and it's still runing strong

I like the modes in Ryobi. I usully use 1st gear to have more control with small screws, which is what I mostly use.

M12 for drywall?

Full disclaimer, im just an engineering student, and my tools dont go through anywhere near the volume of work as most any tradesman's. Because of that and my large hands, i bought all of my cordless power tools to be compatible with milwaukee m12 batteries. Thats why something like this would make total sense for me. Currently i have a brushless drill/driver, a brushless rotary tool, and a handheld vacuum. With a tool like this and maybe a power sander, id have all the cordless power tools id realistically need for any personal project [my angle grinder is wired]. Id argue this and tools like it are useful the same way a small truck like a ridgeline or santa cruz is. Absolutely not what youd want for hauling lumber or doing tradework, but it fills a very convenient niche for a certain less professional customer who wants more utility than theyd have otherwise

Hey man, if you get to see this comment I just want to know what you think about the current Home Depot deal on the dewalt set. Impact driver and drill and two batteries with a charger and a case for $299.99 and a free selection of a tool that can be as much as $219.99 meaning if the return works you can get a Dewalt impact and drill for $80. Kind of ridiculous. Also they have a set of batteries for 199 that if you could return the free gift would make them free.

Brushed vs. brushless

not gonna say the blade make the saw but it definitely helps. my black and decker 20v gear is slowly falling apart. winter is come so i got a jacket then a radio now the hammer drill and hex driver kit with the multi tool addon.... on the fence with the sawzall but i think the circ saw seems good. any thoughts?

It’s a plumbers saw, it has always been, it was probably designed by Milwaukee for the plumber. I’ve used it everyday since the saw was available, I’ve probably owned 10 of them. Use the other multiple options offered for heavy work. This tool is perfect for what it was designed for, not racing through 2x like a chainsaw. If you use the correct size blade for the material you’re cutting through it won’t flap around and vibrate, after all that’s why they make different lengths. No reason why a home owner wouldn’t appreciate this saw if used accordingly

You've done remodeling projects on multiple properties. So, you've visited the orange store multiple times. But, you've NEVER heard of the tool brand that is on the SAME aisle, BRIGHT day-glow green, with bits, accoutrement, etc mixed throughout the aisle? I have a hard time believing that.

Can you put a wire wheel in it

Professional model Hahaha

Electrician here! I have used the M18 FUEL version of this for cutting PVC when we do underground. Works great and much easier to use one handed than the full size Sawzall (which we also have on hand). The Hackzall is great for tight spaces and one handed use.

As a DYI'er, just ordered Ryobi with a 2 amp hour & a 4 amp hour battery, plus a charger on sale for 99. So for me Im good with Ryobi (PS Im also int the Fuel 12 line and love Milwaukee)

Which this the bosch 12v-35 version oder older 12v-15?

None.

Why are ppl concerned ant the drilling power of an IMPACT DRILL. It’s supposed to put screws in shit not make holes lol

I own this exact tool it’s lightweight and performs pretty well, but the plastic tabs that are part of the battery have broken off of two of the batteries, now the batteries constantly vibrate out of contact and I have to keep pushing the battery back in. I do not recommend this tool. I’m replacing it with a Dewalt because I refuse to purchase more Milwaukee batteries that will eventually fail.

Well worth it. I had my last set last me just about 9 years with daily use. You get what you pay for.

I've used my M-12 tools from finish work to sending home 8" GRK. The smoothness and precision you get time after time. From drop abuse to being thrown in a lake. The M-12 line up can handle a wide variety of jobs.

the HP models do not all have the extra contacts, but they may have internal circuitry to make it better.

I would personally prioritize comfort for impact drivers. The extra time that it takes the Ryobi to drive a screw is not that big of a factor for me since I am not a pro contractor driving a lot of them every day. Also if I need more power doing lag screws or something that the Ryobi would struggle with I'd go for the Milwaukee. But the Milwaukee feels much thicker in the hand and my opinion and many others have said that it is not as comfortable as the Ryobi in your hand. And then even though in this instance the cost of the tools are similar, we all know that as a platform Milwaukee is much more expensive. I would say if you are a professional contractor then it makes sense to go with Milwaukee because it does perform better and they have a vast tool line up and pack out as well but for the average DIY person I would recommend the Ryobi unless cost is not a factor.

As soon as I see someone testing Ryobi I go to another video. They hardly ever grease the gears and fail often. I will stick with Bosch Milwaukee and Dewalt. Toss the Ryobi in the nearest garbage can

What it's obviously for is notching out 2x4s, cutting conduit, cutting pvc.. Its for electricians, it's for plumbers, possibly HVAC, possibly tile guys, possibly drywallers. It's not for demolition or a woodshop. It's small & light bc you're carrying it around all the time & weight matters instead of just leaving it at a jobsite or a shop. You reviewed like it was competing with full size sawzalls. Sure it will do the stuff the big boys do, but slower & more painfully. It's not for that. I use an m18 fuel as my primary pruner on a 10acre well treed property.. Throw a 12" diablo carbide blade on it and it's about 40% the weight of a tophandle chainsaw, cut's maybe 50-60% as fast, no resharpening chains, no smelling like 2stroke exhaust, no mixing 2stroke fuel, no filling chain oil reservoir, don't even need hearing protection. And it's a hell of a lot safer, plus I can hang it from a drill hook on my belt instead of on the ground, saves a lot of energy over the course of a day. I just wanted to know if it might function well in a similar role for my mother in her 70s, but instead you reviewed it in all the ways it wasn't meant to perform, then complained about it obviously being a smaller, lighter & lower power tool... when that's the entire point of it.

Would you recommend it for RV work?

Este modelo de M12 es mejor que el Dcf809 y Dcf845 DeWalt? En calidad y potencia

It came in a kit with the driver, drill, light and ratchet w/charger and x2 batteries. It's why I have it. The kit was $250 making the tool cheap

What epoxy do you have to fill the cracks?

I’ve been cutting 3/4” - 3” ridgid conduit with wire inside for demo at the refinery I work at for the past 2 weeks using the hacksaw and it performs just as well as my partners zawsaw
