Brother "organization" you got to have it. Even without a shop or garage to set up a storage area there are some solutions out there. I use the Packout system but started with Ridgid. For a couple hundred bucks that Ridgid works very well.
As a tech with 25 plus years experience, I love this! I have way too many Ryobi batteries at home so I'm gonna take a couple to work and go to town! Thank you for showing me this.
Honestly I don’t have a problem with a brushed ratchet. Like you’ve said before, and I agree, it’s a nut runner, so I wouldn’t look at it for a lot of power. Milwaukees best selling, most ubiquitous ratchet is the original brushed model. The issue I’d have with it is there’s no on board storage for the additional anvil. But being a woodworker, this would be an excellent pocket hole screwdriver with the 1/4” hex anvil lol. Great review and explanation as always, Tim.
To be honest, I don't see why the ratchets are One+ HP, it's not like you're running them constantly like a drill or an angle grinder. The ratchets are also not high torque like an impact wrench or driver, so you don't really need that much power to run the fastener down. As a DIYer myself, this one tool solves a problem of too many of the same tool. Now, if they come out with an extended head version, I'm am ALL OVER IT :D
@@jonathanshaw8868go use tools for decades and you will find flaws, caveats, opinion on all tools with few exceptions. Take milwaukee ratchets, excellent tool, one of the top used, has big flaws for me, battery retention design is terrible and will in time fail. Trigger lock location stinks, constantly hit it picking up tool, though low profile and nice, direction selector is a pain at times to switch direction.
@@jonathanshaw8868 yeah we did? And TTC confirms the ryobi tools are FANTASTIC! TTC shows the extended ratchet is extremely high torque, and the regular one they test (not this one) is one of their highest rated ratchets and one of the most powerful motor torque ratchets - the only downside being you dont want to manually torque it to 150lb (which ryobi does not rate it for anyway). So your point being? The ryobi ratchets hold their own, even on the TTC By comparison the Milwaukee Insider has had a LOT of issues, from stuttering to breaking heads, to anvil adapters not holding - for literally 2-3 times the price. Makes the Ryobi look awfully good by comparison (and why i got their 8NM low power ratchet, this multi anvil one and the extended reach ryobi ratchet too).
@@Tom--Ace who cares about the insider, that's a gimmick too. And if you think wear on a tool isn't cumulative, I've got some bad news. Between that battery that will be in the way and the fact that you break a finger or two when it fails makes it a hard pass for me. If you are just using it to assemble house hold goods and not trucks, then it's probably fine.
Great review as always! Love your channel! You don’t get nearly the respect you deserve! Just like everyone else, I have a few thoughts/opinions on this video. First off I could see the little 4v USB lithium ratchets being great for under dash work, I’d love to see my preferred (for work) platform, Milwaukee, come out with this same style and size of super compact ratchet. I do use a fair bit of Ryobi tools at home so I might check those out, but I digress. The second and more important point for me personally is fact that it’s brushed. I have actually worn the brushes out of my previous Matco brushed 1/4” ratchet, and 1/4” impact. Once I figured out the brushes were the reason for the horrible/erratic performance I was getting, there was so little left of the brushes and comms that it wasn’t worth refreshing with new brushes. I do actually have a comm lathe from my old school RC days, but I could see there wasn’t enough comm left to get a decent fresh surface without reducing the diameter to the point of being useless. So I just replaced them all with brushless tools. I also checked my brushed screw gun and the brushes were nearly gone on that too. So just because it’s a nut runner and doesn’t necessarily need the extra torque of brushless, I can absolutely say that the longevity of no brushes or comms to wear out is absolutely worth it. Of course that is assuming that the electronics for the brushless motors don’t fail, but so far I haven’t experienced that. Thanks for a great review, love your channel!
I love the rotating head design. That should be on more ratchets in any brand. The replaceable anvil is a good idea for a home owner, but as a tech for 12 years, I can say that's a weak point in the design and those anvils will be lost. That and the battery design just makes it impossible to use in any kind of tight area on modern cars.
I bought the makita 18v cordless ratchet for the reason of essentially having 2 ratchets in one because their anvils are 1/4 and 3/8. Not as much torque as other but makes it easier to take up less room in my box. Dewalt just came out with the new gen ratchets with the same interchangeable anvils. Good idea to me
I was about to get the 4V lithium version, cause I mainly wanted something like this for my onewheel, which has a bunch of small, torx screws, that require very minimal torque, but wasn't sure about the 1/4 vs 3/8, but seeing this looks like it'll take care of both and then some. and basically the same price as both of those, but would also allow for a lot more use cases.
I hope nobody's complaining about that cuz that is brilliant. Ryobi is really stepping it up. And I don't see it any being a DIY thing. I think that's just dumb to classify it just because of that.
Great for working my vehicles and the around the house. At least they keep the same type of battery, not like Milwaukee where I had to purchase different type of battery and charge for certain tools. As for Ryobi tools never had a problem ... working great for years.
My wife's aunt goddess Ryobi drill as a Christmas present last year and made the decision for me what brand I was going to build off of. I was skeptical at first but she chose right, haha. I have the half inch impact, as well as a corded router, and i will be expanding to the 3/8 ratchet soon
The replaceable anvil is a clever idea but it doesnt offer much over using standard adaptors. You get to keep some thinness with 1/4" drive but the battery already makes it a bear to get into tight spots. Make a right angle impact with replaceable anvils and we'll talk.
Actually it offers a LOT. I have this and the regular anvil extended ryobi and the interchangeable anvils are just awesome! You only have to actually go and try using adapters to realise that they regularly fall off, come off with the socket and are generally just way more of a pain to use.
Don't know that this is better than just have a ½ to ⅜ and ½ to ¼ adapters instead of swapping the whole thing out and making a bigger point of failure... what am I missing? Either way they don't have a place to store the other anvil?
Exactly what I was thinking. I have the long neck 3/8 version, and I have low profile sockets in most dimensions for it when clearance is an issue. If not so, adaptors will work just fine.
Not sure if I caught it but did you mention the possibility of being able to use low profile sockets? Similar to the Milwaukee, you can either have anvils or use their (proprietary I assume) sockets that save you the space of the anvil.
I have zero problem with it being brushed. You said it yourself: it's a nut runner. I don't need the biggest and baddest. It's a ratchet. That's it. I get it on a high power demand tool like an impact or drill. Everything else can be brushed. Even pruners shouldn't be brushless to save money on tool cost.
You are absolutely right, we stand by that. It's a nut runner. What I don't understand is that you shift all your ratchets to Brushless (HP), and then you release the latest, which isn't Brushless. It just seems odd, but it's probably to hit a price point, rather than performance. Thanks for watching.
obviously the ratchet ends are different, but I would suspect that the base or drive ends would be the same. swap head part from the new tool to an old brushless.. say the 3/8?
The first rachet Ryobi released was a brushed tool model P344. The second rachet was the HP extended reach. and the new HP rachet was just released a month or two before this one was
Stepping down to the cheaper brushed motor was probably to get the cost down cheaper. I’m guessing it was geared towards the idea of someone saving money buying one tool instead of all three so why not further the cost savings by using a cheaper motor
Interesting, I was looking at this in the local hardware shop today and asked myself if it was going to last being brushed. I don't know if this was the same as what your reviewed or the more basic model but non-brushless. Their website is currently overloaded. I wonder how much power it puts out, it appears to be 44 lb/ft torque, which could be 50% higher I guess. The cooling in these types of things also seems to be minimal.
Have a question for you if I buy a tool that is not brushless what does it mean I mean I looked at tools that did not say brush less if it does gets used frequently and or if it not often used any ideas please thank I mean if I am only able to afford tools that are not brushes ides please thank you
It reminds me of the black & decker firestorm drill, with the removable chuck. If they made the batteries like harbor freight ratchet batteries, that would be great.
I love the ratchets that have the interchangeable anvils. I am sure that the Ryobi is a lot cheaper the the M12 insider, tool only with the sockets is $299 but I look at it has you getting 3 ratchets in one. I already have some M12 tools and some Ryobi tools and I already own the regular 3/8 Ryobi ratchet that I really like and have nothing bad to say about it. I am in the market for a better one and I have been leaning towards the M12 but even the DeWalt is not a bad one. So I have 3 to pick from but not sure what one would be the best one for me.
I was so interested in this tool until you pointed out that it wasn't brushless but as you mentioned, they'll probably come out with one. It also would have been nice if they placed a build in holder for the anvil.
Will be interesting to see if this concept is implemented into the RIDGID/Milwaukee/Hart versions surprised it wasn’t used on a Hart ratchet first being a brushed tool.
I don't follow Hart anything. The only time I have even heard of Hart is if a channel reviews something. I only mentioned this because of your comment including Hart. Is Hart releasing any new tools or anything inventive? Actually the only tool I can remember being reviewed was the Chainsaw. Which if I remember correctly it preformed very well. Just curious brother, I never hear anything of them. Thanks.
Milwaukee already leaked their inline M12 FUEL Ratchet a few weeks ago, and we covered that. It's a pass through design and should be able to accomplish the same thing. Not sure for Ridgid and HART just yet.
I love Ryobi, and this is a cool concept, but it was a miss for me. They have the HP brushless extended reach ratchets in 1/4” and 3/8 which I have and love. They just came out with the HP brushless high speed 1/4” and3/8” ratchet, so to have this ratchet as a non-brushless tool doesn’t make sense. Most of your average diy people probably won’t buy the HP version now. I personally will only buy the brushless versions.
Agree with the all your points, Tim. I do think the interchangeable anvil feature is pretty cool in theory, but in reality I know I'd lose the anvils since they can't be put on a socket organizer.
Hello again, Shop Tool Reviews Thank you for another Great Video 👍 That's a shame that it's a brush tool. I cannot buy it for safety reasons Aircraft fuel is more volatile than gas. Again thank you 😊
Thing is, i work on my own cars and rather have a handheld ratchet or a milwaukee compact because of the simple battery size. However im also an electrician and this would be perfect for taking off panels and building supports on transformers among other things i can think of, WITHOUT carrying around 4 wrenches and multiple socket sets. For me thats where its ideal
I’ve just been working for decades now using tools without people telling me which brand is “pro level” which is not etc. I have no prejudicial thoughts I have no loyalty or preference of brand. I’ve ended up with Milwaukee snap on and ryobi in my toolbox and now that I’m watching these videos I’m surprised by all the presenters and commenters never failing to point out that ryobi is not for the pros. If no one told me this I never would have figured it out based on the performance and durability of the tools I’ve got. I have one of these exact wrenches too, been using it professionally for a few years now it’s news to me that I wasn’t supposed to do that.
I really don't think a pro would use that multi-head ratchet, they're going to grab 2-3 different tools with the sockets on them already and be done with it rather than fumbling around with keeping track of the different anvil attachments and trying to swap those out while maintaining production. I also agree that latch mechanism is going to be the failure point in those things, and in a pro situation where they'd be swapping socket drive sizes all day long, it wouldn't last long I wouldn't think....or they'll lose the attachments like you mentioned. A DIY tool, maybe, homeowner or guy that wants a cool tool maybe...I don't think it'll be a huge seller, most who use these things a lot will want individual ratchets.
Minor correction here. The HP extended ratchets actually came out before the HP high-speed ratchets. Aside from that I suppose it *is* odd they didn't make this one HP/brushless but it could be they didn't want it to step on the toes of the M12 similar unit, released not long ago. TBH I feel all these "internal"/sealed/changeable offerings that have recently come out--M12, DeWalt, this one--are kind of a kick in the face to customers. Esp the M12 given it's not that much later than the high speed Fuel ratchets and it seems like they could have just released this type instead. Seems intentional to get ppl to buy and then buy again for that "latest & greatest feeling". No matter to me as I now have two Ridgid ones I feel are way better than the "dumb Milwaukee paddle" and aren't really concerned; but yeah that's my take on the release/marketing.
To be honest I don’t really care if it is brushed or brushless. I think the option of a interchangeable anvil is a neat idea. And for those already crying about loosing the anvils, you don’t loose your anvil adapters on your regular ratchets, do you? And if you do I’m sure you already have spare adapter around, so the same thing applies. As as for the new ratchet not having a anvil storage, I didn’t see yet any ratchet with an adapter storage slot.
It's cute til the lock is woren and let socket til won't stay in. It's like the removal head oscillating tool Ryobi Rigid. I have AC Delco cordless ratchet set off amazon. Smaller batteries. But the AC Delco work awesome
You were spot-on with the downgrade Tim, I bought the small brushless die grinder a few years ago but I though it would be nice to get the larger one too. Since the old tool was brushless I just assumed that the larger one would be as well. When I saw the sparks lighting up the inside of the case I boxed it up and promptly returned it.
Amen!!! I hated that Ryobi comes out with tools that is not as good! I'll buy the tool I need and boom! a few weeks or even days later, a brushless one comes out! One that I needed in the first place with more power to have made the job easier! Grrr... It pisses me off... It seems just to be able to say "280 tools!" Blah!
All Day' Win Win! 100 DIY'ers to Every Pro _ This Is Awesome! Hopefully Brushless happens soon! Great Video Thank you! _ Btw' Find an Old 3/8 drive socket, that fits around and just shorter than the 'Replaceable DriveAdapter' piece length, with enough protruding from the socket to grasp. Hot glue a button size Neodymium magnet inside of the Socket, JB Weld the socket to the Flat top above the battery, Now you have 'On Tool' Adapter Piece Storage _
I think its a great idea and they listened to my feedback email on making lithium usb versions to avoid battery size for smaller projects and 1/4 inch stuff....Ryobi keeps making magic
I came back to drive that algorithm, and to say I have Ryobi, Milwaukee and Makita and there's big difference in the brushed diy Ryobi and the brushless HP oneplus Ryobi. I won't buy any more of the brushed Ryobi tools (that like new 10yr old with 4Ah HP battery I got from the pawn shop last week doesn't count.! It was great deal on the battery and I can the piss outta that little thing at work and not destroy all my hexbits retraining my trigger finger, which would way more cover the cost difference between the Milwaukee.!) I'm hoping Ryobi is gonna come out with a brushless hex driver impact that has a light or equivalent on the nose of tool that shines at/on the job I'm trying to do. It's exceptionally rare than a nose light is blocked by anything that I'm working on. While a gratuitous light at the base was a good idea, there's several great reasons why someone strapped a flashlight to the side of a drill so they could see just what the hell they were doing. The task often sucks when you Can See, it's often impossible when you can't. A light at the base of the same tool is useless at least 50% of time for me because of the job I typically ask this tool do. Infact, I'm actually thinking of changing to the M12 Hex Driver with 6Ah battery for this use because of footprint. And it really doesn't give anything up in power to the 18v brushed Ryobi that I use(and I, mean beat the sh!t out of, it hits above it's weight, I attest to that.!) day, it's just become bulky for my taste. And frankly, by the end of the day, my arms tired after using the Ryobi where they're not if I have the Milwaukee which fits the same place with a big battery as the bare tool Ryobi does. Should Ryobi ever come out with their own version of "stacked-lithium" or a pouch style battery pack (I know, not until the tech dirt cheap or it's actually cost effective than the conventional style cells.).....
I think your "beef" is actually "Beyond Beef" as the whole reason behind brushless technology is runtime. Nobody is going to be ratcheting for hours on end so it doesn't really matter. According to torque testing, total power doesn't seem to matter either. Again, nobody is expecting a cordless ratchet to torque to 100 ft-lbs.
Some of these Ryobi ratchets are not that much cheaper than the $229 I spent for the new m12 fuel high-speed, extended reach 3/8 drive ratchet with a 2.5Ah battery. It was a HD Special buy of the day. Also, the swappable anvils is cool but gimmicky at the same time and the anvil size should be in line with tool torque (probably 1/4 or 3/8 drive). Just use adapters to change size and use nano sockets in tight spots.
I got the first one on sale, now $70 at HD. It is 3/8 but I'm going to get the 1/4 adapter, because this tool for it capabilities fits better on the 1/4 drive line, although the 3/8 has more torque, something that we can take advantage of, and expand the sockets options. Paying $40-50 more for a set of anvil heads with no other benefits of just didn't cut for me specially when an adapter is $7 or $ 8 bucks!
Nice! Koken makes a really cool 3/8 to 1/4 reducer that is 75mm long. I've been using it on the 3/8 ratchet. No one else make an adapter/extension like this which is 3/8 to 1/4.@@dcgo44r
Honestly I think the swappable anvil is kind of gimmicky. Like this guy said that little slider will wear out eventually. Do you really need your ratchet that's only good for 40ftlbs to switch to 1/2 drive? Probably not. I'd rather have a sturdy tool that's only 3/8. Besides, if you absolutely need to use a different size socket, 1/4 and 1/2 adapters can be had for a reasonable price.
cool idea as a zipper ratchet after something broke loose, not something i would buy personally as i 12v Milwaukee stuff i use for that, i personally buy ryobi 18v for mostly home use as it is reliable and powerful enough for that useage profile, could it be used in automotive likely but it will fail sooner than it's higher end cousins rigid and milwaukee.
From what I've seen, Ryobi is going to a 3 year warranty across the board. I could be wrong, that may be a HP, PLUS ONE, only type tool, and the DIY side is something significantly less from personal experience.
I don't hate the video but I didn't like it totally for one reason & that is you didn't use it on some fasteners or on a vehicle. TTI/Ryobi should mount the battery on these parallel to the handle like their Ridged ratchets & have the 4-way adjustable angle head also & brushless motor with SS body & handle. I'd pay extra for those features. Most of this video was pretty good & informative so thanks for sharing. I know TTI reads these comments also...🤔
Ryobi outlast my snap on n matco electric ratchet n I had my ryobi for 7yrs same original battery n charger compared to snap on price 800 for kit 500 bare tool ryobi a quarter of the price
Ryobi puts in a brushless motor, adds on a spare bit holder. Could be useful for small diy jobs. Furniture, children bikes and light car repairs. Something to put in your toolbox to keep the wife quiet.
I need this ratchet. This is amazing for any DIY guy who hates finding all of his bits and bit conversions.
Well now you gotta find your anvils 😂
It does seem like a good idea, but we're just not sure if it doesn't try to tackle too many jobs. Thanks for watching.

I walk up to the displays and take them off. I have a collection.

I hope nobody from Volkswagen watched this, because that fastener idea will become a thing.
Das auto bois typing
Right I have never needed crowfoot till yesterday to change out a sensor on a vw
Well you just give the the spies from Volkswagen a idea 💡😅 😆
Some 10mm bolts have Phillips drive in the middle already so "technically" you could use this option lol

I like the usb ratchets. After you already have a high-quality extended reach one, it pairs well for situations where you can't fit all that length.

Stepping down to the cheaper brushed motor was probably to get the cost down cheaper. I’m guessing it was geared towards the idea of someone saving money buying one tool instead of all three so why not further the cost savings by using a cheaper motor
Anyone know if it has enough power to remove the screws on break pads?
A year later at home Depot it is under 100 bucks out the door with tax is 95 bucks. It's a heck of a deal for an electric ratchet
Another great review. Appreciate the insights.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
Interesting, I was looking at this in the local hardware shop today and asked myself if it was going to last being brushed. I don't know if this was the same as what your reviewed or the more basic model but non-brushless. Their website is currently overloaded. I wonder how much power it puts out, it appears to be 44 lb/ft torque, which could be 50% higher I guess. The cooling in these types of things also seems to be minimal.
I've got a Ryobi ratchet. I always find the battery gets in the way.
I wish Ryobi would use the black rubber instead of that gray. Their tools with the green/black look so good.
They need a extended head version of this
I like it but I'll wait for the HP version with brushless. Thanks for the video.
Also low clearance sockets would be a nice addition to the set
Hey Shop Tool Reviews can you do a review on the new ridgid backpack sprayer?
Ryobi should have made it brushless I agree. I own the extended neck ratchet 1/4 and 3/8 and they are very handy working on the car.
Have a question for you if I buy a tool that is not brushless what does it mean I mean I looked at tools that did not say brush less if it does gets used frequently and or if it not often used any ideas please thank I mean if I am only able to afford tools that are not brushes ides please thank you
It reminds me of the black & decker firestorm drill, with the removable chuck. If they made the batteries like harbor freight ratchet batteries, that would be great.
really good demo. Hope you cover some good testing of the usb ratchet.
I love the ratchets that have the interchangeable anvils. I am sure that the Ryobi is a lot cheaper the the M12 insider, tool only with the sockets is $299 but I look at it has you getting 3 ratchets in one. I already have some M12 tools and some Ryobi tools and I already own the regular 3/8 Ryobi ratchet that I really like and have nothing bad to say about it. I am in the market for a better one and I have been leaning towards the M12 but even the DeWalt is not a bad one. So I have 3 to pick from but not sure what one would be the best one for me.
it should have a built i storage for the tips so you dont lose them.
Makita has had the changeable anvil for some time now. But, that IS a perfect travel type tool for your emergency/ or other , kit!
I was so interested in this tool until you pointed out that it wasn't brushless but as you mentioned, they'll probably come out with one. It also would have been nice if they placed a build in holder for the anvil.
Will be interesting to see if this concept is implemented into the RIDGID/Milwaukee/Hart versions surprised it wasn’t used on a Hart ratchet first being a brushed tool.
I don't follow Hart anything. The only time I have even heard of Hart is if a channel reviews something.
I only mentioned this because of your comment including Hart. Is Hart releasing any new tools or anything inventive? Actually the only tool I can remember being reviewed was the Chainsaw. Which if I remember correctly it preformed very well. Just curious brother, I never hear anything of them.
Thanks.
Milwaukee already leaked their inline M12 FUEL Ratchet a few weeks ago, and we covered that. It's a pass through design and should be able to accomplish the same thing. Not sure for Ridgid and HART just yet.
I love Ryobi, and this is a cool concept, but it was a miss for me. They have the HP brushless extended reach ratchets in 1/4” and 3/8 which I have and love. They just came out with the HP brushless high speed 1/4” and3/8” ratchet, so to have this ratchet as a non-brushless tool doesn’t make sense. Most of your average diy people probably won’t buy the HP version now. I personally will only buy the brushless versions.
Agree with the all your points, Tim. I do think the interchangeable anvil feature is pretty cool in theory, but in reality I know I'd lose the anvils since they can't be put on a socket organizer.
Funny part is makita did the changeable Anvil before ryobi. They don't make the 1/2 inch Anvil that I've found
Now I want a Milwaukee one 😂
Who did the lighting? 😮
Hello again, Shop Tool Reviews
Thank you for another Great Video 👍 That's a shame that it's a brush tool. I cannot buy it for safety reasons Aircraft fuel is more volatile than gas. Again thank you 😊
I love me some ryobi hell I still have a circ saw an receipt saw that are blue from back in the day.put a modern battery In it an it's like a new tool
First impression: the new Ryobi ratchet is going wake boarding.
Thing is, i work on my own cars and rather have a handheld ratchet or a milwaukee compact because of the simple battery size. However im also an electrician and this would be perfect for taking off panels and building supports on transformers among other things i can think of, WITHOUT carrying around 4 wrenches and multiple socket sets. For me thats where its ideal
I’ve just been working for decades now using tools without people telling me which brand is “pro level” which is not etc. I have no prejudicial thoughts I have no loyalty or preference of brand. I’ve ended up with Milwaukee snap on and ryobi in my toolbox and now that I’m watching these videos I’m surprised by all the presenters and commenters never failing to point out that ryobi is not for the pros. If no one told me this I never would have figured it out based on the performance and durability of the tools I’ve got. I have one of these exact wrenches too, been using it professionally for a few years now it’s news to me that I wasn’t supposed to do that.
I like the idea, but I am also kinda surprised it's not brushless.
I really don't think a pro would use that multi-head ratchet, they're going to grab 2-3 different tools with the sockets on them already and be done with it rather than fumbling around with keeping track of the different anvil attachments and trying to swap those out while maintaining production. I also agree that latch mechanism is going to be the failure point in those things, and in a pro situation where they'd be swapping socket drive sizes all day long, it wouldn't last long I wouldn't think....or they'll lose the attachments like you mentioned.
A DIY tool, maybe, homeowner or guy that wants a cool tool maybe...I don't think it'll be a huge seller, most who use these things a lot will want individual ratchets.
Minor correction here. The HP extended ratchets actually came out before the HP high-speed ratchets. Aside from that I suppose it *is* odd they didn't make this one HP/brushless but it could be they didn't want it to step on the toes of the M12 similar unit, released not long ago.
TBH I feel all these "internal"/sealed/changeable offerings that have recently come out--M12, DeWalt, this one--are kind of a kick in the face to customers. Esp the M12 given it's not that much later than the high speed Fuel ratchets and it seems like they could have just released this type instead. Seems intentional to get ppl to buy and then buy again for that "latest & greatest feeling".
No matter to me as I now have two Ridgid ones I feel are way better than the "dumb Milwaukee paddle" and aren't really concerned; but yeah that's my take on the release/marketing.
Too bad the tool doesn’t hole the extra anvil. I picked up the really old model the P344 and it holds a extension
Dewalt is coming out with something similar the DCF500B. It’s not out yet to my knowledge.
Is it any good though?
To be honest I don’t really care if it is brushed or brushless. I think the option of a interchangeable anvil is a neat idea. And for those already crying about loosing the anvils, you don’t loose your anvil adapters on your regular ratchets, do you? And if you do I’m sure you already have spare adapter around, so the same thing applies. As as for the new ratchet not having a anvil storage, I didn’t see yet any ratchet with an adapter storage slot.
It's no surprise there are more an more guys trying an liking the new ryobi tools.if your hard on ur tools ryobi is ur jam
It's cute til the lock is woren and let socket til won't stay in. It's like the removal head oscillating tool Ryobi Rigid. I have AC Delco cordless ratchet set off amazon. Smaller batteries. But the AC Delco work awesome
Thanks for watching.
Probably a great product for interior car work, and hard to reach spots.
You were spot-on with the downgrade Tim, I bought the small brushless die grinder a few years ago but I though it would be nice to get the larger one too. Since the old tool was brushless I just assumed that the larger one would be as well. When I saw the sparks lighting up the inside of the case I boxed it up and promptly returned it.
M12 stuff is the best tools ever for under the dash/most interior uses, except seat belt anchor bolts.😎
Amen!!! I hated that Ryobi comes out with tools that is not as good! I'll buy the tool I need and boom! a few weeks or even days later, a brushless one comes out! One that I needed in the first place with more power to have made the job easier! Grrr... It pisses me off... It seems just to be able to say "280 tools!" Blah!
All Day' Win Win! 100 DIY'ers to Every Pro _ This Is Awesome! Hopefully Brushless happens soon! Great Video Thank you! _ Btw' Find an Old 3/8 drive socket, that fits around and just shorter than the 'Replaceable DriveAdapter' piece length, with enough protruding from the socket to grasp. Hot glue a button size Neodymium magnet inside of the Socket, JB Weld the socket to the Flat top above the battery, Now you have 'On Tool' Adapter Piece Storage _
Review the dcf510 flat head ratchet please 🙏
We're working on it. Thanks for watching.
I think its a great idea and they listened to my feedback email on making lithium usb versions to avoid battery size for smaller projects and 1/4 inch stuff....Ryobi keeps making magic
This is how a manufacturer clears out inventory, in this case the brushed motors.
feel like when people say pros dont use ryobi only say that out of habit and not reality.
I came back to drive that algorithm, and to say I have Ryobi, Milwaukee and Makita and there's big difference in the brushed diy Ryobi and the brushless HP oneplus Ryobi. I won't buy any more of the brushed Ryobi tools (that like new 10yr old with 4Ah HP battery I got from the pawn shop last week doesn't count.! It was great deal on the battery and I can the piss outta that little thing at work and not destroy all my hexbits retraining my trigger finger, which would way more cover the cost difference between the Milwaukee.!) I'm hoping Ryobi is gonna come out with a brushless hex driver impact that has a light or equivalent on the nose of tool that shines at/on the job I'm trying to do. It's exceptionally rare than a nose light is blocked by anything that I'm working on. While a gratuitous light at the base was a good idea, there's several great reasons why someone strapped a flashlight to the side of a drill so they could see just what the hell they were doing. The task often sucks when you Can See, it's often impossible when you can't. A light at the base of the same tool is useless at least 50% of time for me because of the job I typically ask this tool do. Infact, I'm actually thinking of changing to the M12 Hex Driver with 6Ah battery for this use because of footprint. And it really doesn't give anything up in power to the 18v brushed Ryobi that I use(and I, mean beat the sh!t out of, it hits above it's weight, I attest to that.!) day, it's just become bulky for my taste. And frankly, by the end of the day, my arms tired after using the Ryobi where they're not if I have the Milwaukee which fits the same place with a big battery as the bare tool Ryobi does. Should Ryobi ever come out with their own version of "stacked-lithium" or a pouch style battery pack (I know, not until the tech dirt cheap or it's actually cost effective than the conventional style cells.).....
Brushless of that size motor is $20ish more than the brushed they are using
this thing is really cool!!!!!!!!
Maybe they could make a slim tall 18v battery
We doubt that's going to happen. Thanks for watching.
They missed putting a storage place on the tool for its specific accessories. That was dumb Ryobi.
I think your "beef" is actually "Beyond Beef" as the whole reason behind brushless technology is runtime. Nobody is going to be ratcheting for hours on end so it doesn't really matter. According to torque testing, total power doesn't seem to matter either. Again, nobody is expecting a cordless ratchet to torque to 100 ft-lbs.
HUGE swing and a miss to not have onboard storage for the extra anvil....
Some of these Ryobi ratchets are not that much cheaper than the $229 I spent for the new m12 fuel high-speed, extended reach 3/8 drive ratchet with a 2.5Ah battery. It was a HD Special buy of the day. Also, the swappable anvils is cool but gimmicky at the same time and the anvil size should be in line with tool torque (probably 1/4 or 3/8 drive). Just use adapters to change size and use nano sockets in tight spots.
I got the first one on sale, now $70 at HD. It is 3/8 but I'm going to get the 1/4 adapter, because this tool for it capabilities fits better on the 1/4 drive line, although the 3/8 has more torque, something that we can take advantage of, and expand the sockets options. Paying $40-50 more for a set of anvil heads with no other benefits of just didn't cut for me specially when an adapter is $7 or $ 8 bucks!
Nice! Koken makes a really cool 3/8 to 1/4 reducer that is 75mm long. I've been using it on the 3/8 ratchet. No one else make an adapter/extension like this which is 3/8 to 1/4.@@dcgo44r
sounds interesting and looks too
Honestly I think the swappable anvil is kind of gimmicky. Like this guy said that little slider will wear out eventually. Do you really need your ratchet that's only good for 40ftlbs to switch to 1/2 drive? Probably not. I'd rather have a sturdy tool that's only 3/8. Besides, if you absolutely need to use a different size socket, 1/4 and 1/2 adapters can be had for a reasonable price.
amazing work.das indristig gruß aus germany würburg
cool idea as a zipper ratchet after something broke loose, not something i would buy personally as i 12v Milwaukee stuff i use for that, i personally buy ryobi 18v for mostly home use as it is reliable and powerful enough for that useage profile, could it be used in automotive likely but it will fail sooner than it's higher end cousins rigid and milwaukee.
From what I've seen, Ryobi is going to a 3 year warranty across the board. I could be wrong, that may be a HP, PLUS ONE, only type tool, and the DIY side is something significantly less from personal experience.
I don't hate the video but I didn't like it totally for one reason & that is you didn't use it on some fasteners or on a vehicle. TTI/Ryobi should mount the battery on these parallel to the handle like their Ridged ratchets & have the 4-way adjustable angle head also & brushless motor with SS body & handle. I'd pay extra for those features. Most of this video was pretty good & informative so thanks for sharing. I know TTI reads these comments also...🤔
Next year they will release an HP version. So all the suckers who bought this brushed one will upgrade. More money 💰
That wouldn't be unexpected. Thanks for watching.
Milwaukee insider head?
Test it out see what it can handle
Covers a lot of bases with this line.
That it does. Thanks for watching.
Ryobi outlast my snap on n matco electric ratchet n I had my ryobi for 7yrs same original battery n charger compared to snap on price 800 for kit 500 bare tool ryobi a quarter of the price
Ryobi puts in a brushless motor, adds on a spare bit holder. Could be useful for small diy jobs. Furniture, children bikes and light car repairs. Something to put in your toolbox to keep the wife quiet.
We hear you. Thanks for watching.
It's like a game...all the iterations of cheap plastic tools and their pricing. Some still call this business.
