I ran a small construction company for 40 + years, used a lot of brands, switched to Ryobi tools, about 25 years ago, cost was a big part, when some one dropped and broke one, doesn’t hurt,but they are still in my shop, do everything I need , so it might take couple seconds longer, no big problem, I have all the time in the world 😂
I used my brothers DeWalt Jig Saw and loved it and I used my buddy's Milwaukee Sawzall and loved it. It seems Ryobi has came out with similar models and I couldn't be happier. I have the Ryobi 6 port battery charger and didn't want to switch platforms to get those styles. I am a Ryobi fan boy with about 15 tools and counting ;)
I loved Ryobi except for the batteries. I had multiple batteries that barely got used before they outright failed to take a charge, that’s when I switched to DeWalt. I found adapters online to use DeWalt Batteries with my Ryobi tools, now I use both. But all new tools I buy will be DeWalt unless they just aren’t available. I have already bought DeWalt replacements for my older Ryobi tools although I still have some working Ryobi tools I’ve had for over 15 years. No doubt I trust Ryobi tools I’ve had last but I just don’t trust their batteries. Five years with DeWalt batteries now and not a single failure. Lessons learned!
This is one of the most important factor wich in all of these videos promoting tools and testing they do not test, because none of these youtube channels actually work with these tools for a living to give feedback on the batteries. And also this is the most important because battieries when it comes to cordless tools are the most expencive part of them. I've been using alot of tools, except dewalt, because in EU where i live dewalt is not too popular, and because at the price of dewalt tools you can buy better brands. Such as makita, hitachi(wich now is hikoki), bosh, etc. The best batteries i've seen so far, and i am speaking here using the tools for months and even years of abuse. Nr.1 would be both milwakee and hikoki. Then would be bosh and makita yet to find out, since i have not really abused this brand too much. But so far seems promising. I have 3 5Ah hikoki batteries wich is 100euro each. I abused these 3 batteries for 7 months on a construction site every single day. Then build my house with it, and they still work like new, i hardly see any age on the power delivery. These batteries worked in freezing temperature and scorching hot sun. I am really really impressed with this brand. Then i bought a brusless skill saw(skill is also the brand) with one 4ah battery, and i can see how the battery loses alot of charge after 2,3 cuts then it charges bach by itself. This is the sign of a cheap battery wich will not have a lot of life in it. In fact this is also a sign of a battery dying. Batteries are a major factor in deciding what tools to buy and people forget that.
When you're comparing tool vs tool, or even battery vs. battery, it would only be fair, AND, give you the most accurate results if each tool and each test were performed with a fully charged battery, and a new, unused blade.
Ryobi suffer the same problem as the other brands - the batteries will eventually go bad. I only have 1 Milwaukee battery, and I used it on table saws, braking die grinder and impact wrench and the battery is still alive.
I have a RYOBI brad nail gun ( cordless ) works great ALSO have you tried the Hercules brand 12" sliding miter saw ? Would like to know your thoughts on it please .
They make a few decent things but if you need any customer service you are SOL. I’ve been trying to get a piece for my thickness planer since February. Now I just use it as a paper weight. I’m changing to team yellow now.
Ive been waiting for someone to actually talk about that jigsaw. Im in need of one and have been debating on getting this new Ryobi Barrel grip or if I should just get the 199 dewalt battery deal with the XR D grip they have for free.
Very good review. I’ve said in past comments on your channel 731, you spur competition in tool manufacturing. I don’t hate any tool company, but Ryobi seems to be the most successful in innovative ideas. I want DeWalt, Milwaukee and all the others to step up. Competition is beneficial especially to the consumer. Secondly, the vibration factor is a HUGE concern. I’m north of 70 and still use many tools. At the end of the day my wrist and elbow joints are talking to me. I realize you 40-50 year old kids may not think about it, but life catches up with you….fast.😢
You must watch Project Farm. Years ago, the Ryobi tools were junk. Id does seem like they have taken their quality to another level. Still, on the job sites (I did construction for 30 years), I still see mostly DeWalt and Makita.
Have you tried the Milwaukee M12 FUEL Barrel Grip Jigsaw? I bought one a few months ago and i love it, but was wondering what you thought of it. Thanks
I hate safety switches that need two hands to operate or are difficult to use. That encourages people to do a work around. Good to see improvements. I have Ryobi and a few of those old wont name tools that have been discontinued
I’ve never been a tool snob and this is the time to get into other battery platforms. Every company has some cool stuff and they all have duds. This sounds stupid but I’d be way more likely to jump into Ryobi if not for the color scheme. Absolutely hate it
I have 4 ryobi tools and 3 batteries. Only 1 battery still works. Ryobi is crap and so is their customer service. They don't stand behind their product. Thought about buying their 2 batteries and getting a free oscillating tool with home depot sale. Then I was like.. why? Batteries just going to die within 2 years. I also have their complete drill bit set. They break so easily. Ryobi is cheaper for a reason.
I never understood why some brands paint the cutting blades, that paint will create unnecessary friction and head dulling the blade faster. It looks cheap, and performs bad! I even saw circular saw blades wich have the carbide teeth painted.

Did a project on the weekend with my bag of Ryobi tools. Recip, circular, sander, drill, multi-tool. Fast and easy with no cords. 👍
Love me some Ryobi!!!
I used my brothers DeWalt Jig Saw and loved it and I used my buddy's Milwaukee Sawzall and loved it. It seems Ryobi has came out with similar models and I couldn't be happier.

I've been dropping hints hard for the barrel grip jigsaw for Christmas
I loved the snobby walk at the Home Depot😊 Your fun guy.

Batteries are a major factor in deciding what tools to buy and people forget that.
Having recently bought a battery and charger for the engraving tool, I'm really intrigued by the jigsaw. I might just give it a shot!!!
I have several ryobi tools can't really complain. I've been buying Rigid specially because of their lifetime warranty
Love the new jig saw but I’m gonna have to wait on the purchase. Maybe the price will go down a little. Thanks for sharing this video!
When you're comparing tool vs tool, or even battery vs. battery, it would only be fair, AND, give you the most accurate results if each tool and each test were performed with a fully charged battery, and a new, unused blade.
RYOBI is the only brand I have ever bought, I am addicted!
Ryobi suffer the same problem as the other brands - the batteries will eventually go bad. I only have 1 Milwaukee battery, and I used it on table saws, braking die grinder and impact wrench and the battery is still alive.
I have a RYOBI brad nail gun ( cordless ) works great ALSO have you tried the Hercules brand 12" sliding miter saw ? Would like to know your thoughts on it please .
Ridged has the best one handed recip saw
How’s the light treat finish sanding? All I could think of it being good for would be revealing swirlies.
They make a few decent things but if you need any customer service you are SOL. I’ve been trying to get a piece for my thickness planer since February. Now I just use it as a paper weight. I’m changing to team yellow now.
Ive been waiting for someone to actually talk about that jigsaw. Im in need of one and have been debating on getting this new Ryobi Barrel grip or if I should just get the 199 dewalt battery deal with the XR D grip they have for free.
Do you feel the edge battery will help the track saw? Been debating on getting the edge, looks like I just need to pick it up.
Interesting. Haven't thought about that. It should help it a little.
Very good review. I’ve said in past comments on your channel 731, you spur competition in tool manufacturing.

Have you tried the Milwaukee M12 FUEL Barrel Grip Jigsaw? I bought one a few months ago and i love it, but was wondering what you thought of it. Thanks
I haven't tried that one yet.
So the 18V Edge battery works on all Ryobi tools? Does the jigsaw come with the Edge battery or are those sold separately? Asking for a friend. 🙂
I think they are a separate buy? I haven't seen any combos with the EDGE battery yet...
I hate safety switches that need two hands to operate or are difficult to use. That encourages people to do a work around. Good to see improvements. I have Ryobi and a few of those old wont name tools that have been discontinued
On the recip saw safety switch. I like that you push it with your thumb to turn the safety off. Makes it intuitive for folks who use handguns.
I’ve never been a tool snob and this is the time to get into other battery platforms. Every company has some cool stuff and they all have duds. This sounds stupid but I’d be way more likely to jump into Ryobi if not for the color scheme. Absolutely hate it
For the reciprocating saw, why didn't you put a fresh blade on for each test? That would have eliminated all the variables.
Age old question: RYE - obi or REE - obi? I'm on team RYE myself...
wild I've been watching you since like 30k subs, All your videos are watched. I didn't realize i was not subscribed. \
Ha. Well, thank you for watching! I really appreciate it!
Invest in a quality blade from your local home store like 731 said, it will save you time and headache. Cheap blades on Amazon are a waste of time
