I started Ryobi when all you could get was the Nicad batteries. I only buy the 18v Ryobi because I can use a drill from 20 years ago with a brand new LION battery. I own at least 20 different Ryobi and I have never had one fail.
yeah I moved on to Dewalt a few years ago putting my six 15 yr old Ryobi tools in mothballs. But the other day I wanted to use the 5.5 ryobi circular saw and my nicads were all long dead.. so I picked up the new Ryobi hammer drill which included 2 batteries and the good smart charger, and now I have all the old Ryobi tools revived. I did not expect that at all! I think my Dewalt stuff is going to spare duties. Also my Paslode brad nailer is a pita needing fuel cans and ni cd battery, so might consider this Ryobi one. When I worked in construction everyone sneered at Ryobi lol. not me I just used it, happily
@@planesandbikes7353 You can use your DeWalt batteries on most of the Ryobi tools by using the DM18RL adapter, which you can buy on amazon. The only thing when using this adapter is to make sure you don't completely drain your DeWalt battery, which can damage the battery.
I tested the fan with the 9ah battery: Low sped 30 hours / High speed 15 hours. With the 3ah batteries the kit comes with: Low speed 11 hours / High speed 5.5 hours. You're welcome!
@@larryandrews4298 All blowers do use a lot of juice. There is a unit I've seen that came bundled with a smaller battery, but they actually have three different 18v blowers (last I counted) and I recommend you step up to a larger battery. It will improve your power output and longevity immensely. I have the workshop blower. That thing is small, but LEGIT. Has three speeds and a touch sensitive trigger. I use it to blow oak leaves out of my lawn and rock beds. Not 100% successful blowing leaves out of the lawn, but blowing embedded oak leaves is no simple task. I also clear the driveway and sidewalks after mowing. It is well paired to the 3A battery, and SOOOOO convenient vs grabbing a corded unit.
I dropped my first impact when they were blue from 2 story's up onto the concrete. When i went to retrieve it I was for sure i was in the market for a new one....NOPE!!! casing held together and was fully funtional...15 years later still using ryobi
My blue ryobi impact has been dropped, run over, left out in the rain. 14 years later it still gets the job done. I even still use the original batteries. Had to zap them several times to recover them, but they still work
I've gone through two green impacts and still have the blue and run it daily. I flip houses so all my tools see a lot of action. I've used the quite strike and really liked it . I think it will be my next impact.
I have Ryobi and have had them for a long time. I am glad you talked about the battery compatibility. That is a big part of the reason I still use them. Most all their tools I love. My only disappointment was with their previous generation air station which did not last long before it died. I still have my first blue drill I bought from them at least 10 years ago. I use it for all my abusive jobs and it still has not died.
As a professional mechanic I use the Ryobi One 18v 1/2" impact I got in 2011 all day, every day. The rubber overmold has gotten a little gross from contact with oil, but the tool itself can't be beat.
For anybody looking to buy RYOBI tools they are great value. I have a buddy who is a custom millworker and uses a lot of the RYOBI tools on a daily basis. His reason for using them only is because the cost. If a tool gets lost, stolen, or just wears out, your not spending a fortune trying to replace the tool or battery!
John Rossow I'm with your buddy, I have a few of my original RYOBI tools from almost 20 years ago. My blue impact is still on the job to this day, I've installed countless feet of subfloor, underlayment and decks with it and it's still kicking butt!
The nail gun is absolutely fabulous. Not only have I used it for 30 house projects, I have loaned it out to probably 5 different friends who were tackling some DIY projects and they absolutely loved it.
@Steve I worked there for 43 years. Ryobi products is a piece of shit along with craftsman tools they used to make for Sears. Their Homelite products are worse. Everything they make is made in China. They made us lie about products everyday And treated their employees like shit.
I consider the tire inflator a must-have. I use it all the time for all of my various tire inflation needs and the built in gauge is handy and accurate.
I bought my first Ryobi drill/driver over 20 years ago! Since then the NiCad batteries died, but I was very happy to discover the new 18+ batteries fit perfectly. Now I have a whole shop of Ryobi 18 volt power tools and I have never been disappointed. My fav is the original 1/4 inch impact driver, which I have used to construct wood fences and other wood projects. It is a bit loud compared to the new model, but it gets the job done, and I've used it constantly for over 3 years.
Love the new Ryobi tools. Well balanced and lightweight, with heavy duty capabilities. I was always a Dewalt guy and naturally I had all the stuff, because I'm cool like that. But, I have since been renewing/replacing my tool collection with the Ryobi stuff and I'm impressed so far.
I want to see that hybrid technology used for other systems as well, especially for yard tools. Being able to use a chainsaw, trimmer, or blower on cord when practical and then throwing in a battery when it's not practical would be incredibly useful.
I can completely attest to the brad nailer. I use it commercially and with heavy use on a day to day basis, (having switched to it from compressed-air nailers), and let me be the first to say, I won't be going back to compressed air nailers. The this ryobi nailer simply drives every nail, with speed, and efficiency. Hundreds of shots every day, and it has never failed. The bigger batteries allow it to perform even better, with a quicker drive. If youre looking for a few brad nailer that won't let you down, the one shown in this video is simply the one to get.
Awesome tools all my old blue series stuff still works great more than ten years after buying. Drill, hammer drill, skill saw, reciprocating saw, all going strong. The weed whacker has been reliable, four years old now, used weekly all summer. Recently picked up the 1/2 inch impact gun... worked like a champ and I have no reason to doubt that it's as good as the rest that I own.
Kelpo Gaming HVAC is commonly up in rafters and it's fast paced, if you never drop an impact you're going too slow to keep your job. My impact has survived at least a dozen 10+ foot falls.
I just got the 18v x 2 10 inch sliding dual bevel brushless cordless miter saw. It went on sale for $199. The Brad nailer was my favorite but now my new miter is by far the best tool of any kind I’ve ever owned ! I love it and I’ve already used it on many projects. So much power and cuts through tons of different wood with ease! Great tool!
Long time Milwaukee user here. I haven't seen the Ryobi One+ Caulking Gun mentioned yet, but that unique offering is what brought me in to the Ryobi family. We were building a new house and had literally hundreds of feet of caulking to do. All around windows, doors, floor plates. Not to mention all the trim in the finishing stage. This tool saved my poor old arthritic hands a bunch of pain! Not to mention, it makes laying a beautiful bead of caulk so easy that anyone can do it. Later in the middle of the build when my very old 12V (not M12) Milwaukee cordless drill batteries died, none were available locally and the ones I did find online were very expensive. So it was back to researching on the internet where I found the same thing many others have: the same company and factory builds Milwaukee, Ryobi & Ridgid drills. Then it was off to Home Depot for a new cordless drill and because of the positive experience with the caulk gun, I walked right past Milwaukee and went straight to Ryobi and looked at their drills.Felt good in the hand. All the controls were just right, forward reverse just where it should be. Then I found a set that came with a drill & impact tool, 2 batteries and another charger in a bag on sale for $99! Cheaper than new batteries for the Milwaukee. I gotta say, they have been damned impressive tools. We finished the build and they are still going strong building shelves and doing other projects. There isn't a week that goes by that one of them doesn't get used. They are simply an excellent value.
I have been using RyobI Since 2004, I was skeptical at first, but I used them everyday in Construction and they have never let me down. I am waiting for them to make a Right Angle 3/8 impact. All my Ryobi tools are still the Blue ones, I only upgraded the Battery Packs to Lithium.
I realize this was an old post, but they actually do have a 3/8 impact available (sort of). If you buy their multi-tool which has a sander and vibratory cutter, you can get an accessory head from a Ridgid JobMax and it fits right on. I've been using one for at least 3 years.
I bought the P320 brad nailer and I love it. It was a no brainer since I own quite a few ryobi cordless tools I most recently got the palm router, finish sander, the inflator with a hose, the brushless jigsaw, sds hammer drill and I started my collection of ryobi tools with a display package but a couple pieces were missing but it was a fantastic price with that I got a 6.5 circular saw, a drill a impact driller and a flashlight.
I’ve been loving the ryobi kit I got for my dad for Father’s Day it’s the non brushless set with the saw light drill etc works great and he uses them pretty much every week that’s why I bought my Ryobi 9013 I believe it’s a brushless hammer Drill and my Brushless 3 speed impact they have been doing really well especially since I got them for a great price and I work in the auto industry at a body shop in Pa! Your video is great and I appreciate how you don’t look down on Ryobi like many other on TH-cam.
I had a Ryobi weed whacker that I used for about 2 years against the big names. It was being used all day every day as a job tool. It never broke or ran hot. All I did was change the blade to a thinner and longer blade and it worked awesome. Gave it to my brother 7 years ago for his home use and it's still going.
I got the nail gun first. It is incredible I love it. Just got the 18 gauge staple gun and that works wonders as well. Ryobi has some nice stuff I'm impressed
I have over thirty of the Ryobi 18v platform tools and I gotta say I've only ever had problems with one of there tools and that was the 1gal sprayer. I went through three of them in less than a year, one didn't spray at all and that was right out of the box, finally Ryobi quit returning my e-mails and phone calls. I'm not a "hard charger" when it comes to my Ryobi tools, I'm a home handyman at best. thanks for the review of these five tools and keep up the good work!
Freddy Colon I kind of wish the work light was a little more dispersed in its lighting. it kind of only projects to the sides, not much vertical projection.
I have been using Ryobi tools for over 10 years and am extremely happy. I recently purchased an Air Strike brad nailer and initially had some trouble but when I changed the battery to a 4AH the problems ceased. I also bought 2 of the 6AH batteries and it performed even better & longer. As a matter a fact I have yet to have to change batteries the 6AH batteries are so good. I bought an angle grinder a couple of years back and was disappointed but am going to try it with the 6AH battery and will be surprised if it doesn't solve my problem. I have over 45 Ryobi tools and continue to buy I am so impressed. I recently saw a report comparing Ryobi to 4 other , so called, low end tools and Ryobi got 5 stars where the others got 3 or less. Great tools and very dependable manufacturer.
I don't think enough love is given to the Ryobi hot glue gun. I use it to attach stuff all the time. I also use it to build firework displays. I made fun of it until I used it for the first time, now I can't give it up. I also love my 18v leaf blower!
We love Ryobi. I hate mowing with gas engines, so hubby got me the battery mower. Had it for 3 summers now. Works great. We just picked up the pole saw for our tree trimming. Thats a great tool also, especially when I got quoted $750 from a professional to do a light trim. Now we can trim alot more trees with it.
I remember a time when ryobi were regarded as low class, second rate crap that you bought on the cheap (and expected to break and often did) ...whoever designed and promoted the one class is seriously a champion. Someone who turned a failing business model into a respected name and gave people a quality budget product on one battery platform.
Last Christmas, I bought the Drill and Impact driver combo due to the price... color me impressed. Corded tools were such a pain that it made using them a chore, but the freedom of using cordless tools had me looking for the opportunity to use them. Now, one year later, I have 18 different Ryobi tools. One of my favorites? The hot glue gun. Heats quicker than a corded version. Guilty Pleasure? Handheld trim router. I use it more than my full sized routers. Next Purchase? Gotta be the fan. Come on Ryobi, You make 'em, I'll buy 'em.
The P237 impact driver is my favorite tool. It has 3 speeds, which all have trigger variation as well. Which is really useful if you want to get screws flush with softer materials like drywall. It also has tons of power and seriously competes with Dewalt and Milwaukee's impact drivers in that department.
I just bought a Ryobi vacuum cleaner and I Love it. It’s very portable and no stupid cords to get tangled. I used it to clean my camper after doing work under the sink and water heater. I’m well pleased with my purchase. Love Ryobi. I have about 10 tools.
I've got a very old Ryobi drill, at least 10+ years old, works perfectly fine with a brand new 4aH 18v ONE+ battery that I got for the Ryobi weed eater. I'm lucky to have a Ryobi factory blem store just down the road so I get great tools for great prices.
My first Ryobi tool was the Airstrike Brad Nailer. Loved it so much, I went and bought the drill, then the little sander. Since then, I've bought one of the weed whackers, cordless pole saw, the 40A weed whacker, power washer, snow blower and the one I love the most, the 40A cordless, self propelled lawn mower. Had that for two years now and like the way it cuts and so simple to operate and the best part, no gas and oil. Same with the snow blower.
I've had a Ryobi 18V drill for many years. I loved the fact that when the original Nicad batteries crapped out and wouldn't hold a charge anymore I could replace them with new lithium batteries. I've had several other brands that, once the batteries died, I had to throw away a perfectly good working tool. Now, I don't earn my living with these tools but for the money, they are great for the average home owner.
He likely wants it to be able to charge a battery pack. The issue with that is it will increase cost and size of the unit. but it would be nice to see that as an option.
JD I don't believe it would increase the size. The reason chargers are the size they are is because the inside needs room to naturally vent heat. With a fan, the size goes down tremendously. It's the reason PC power supplies can do so much in such a small size.
No, you'd like it to be one but it definitely does not need to be one. I definitely do not want a charger built in, would be silly waste to me since I already have a charger and don't want to take a bulky fan with me most of the time.
I tell you.. I've and still own ryobi tools.. sometime now I changed over to the Milwaukee drills.. and they performed very good.. but must say.. my 18v Milwaukee drill just took a dump... and needless to say.. my RYOBI IS STILL TRUCKING ALONG..After three years later... gotta love it..
I bought the Brad nailer on sale for $99. I was skeptical so carefully opened the box in case I needed to return it. I threw the box away after the first day of use. Outstanding!!!!
Agreed! When my wife wanted a stick vacuum for the house I insisted on buying the Ryobi so I would have an additional battery for all my tools! Does that make me selfish or just incredibly smart?
@Steve I dare you to say that to my og Ryobi blue recip saw and circular saw that have been used consistently for the past 15 years and just won't die.
One wish? Ryobi would come out with an 18v high quality, high output stereo and Bluetooth Party boom box like 1000 watts at a price point of around $300 -$400. I’d be all over it!
The One+ soldering iron is the best I have ever used. Really impressed with the impact wrench and brushless drill too. I'll be buying the lawnmower soon!
I was a Milwaukee guy before until I needed new batteries because they stopped making them. I couldn't bring myself to start over and invest $500 just for a basic kit. Now seeing other people satisfied with Ryobi I think I made the right choice. Looking forward to getting my drain cleaner and it was $130 opposed to $550 for Milwaukee's version 😬.
You’re gonna be impressed. I had my doubts at first but with the warranty & price I couldnt say no. 1 year later & 1000 drops off a 6 foot ladder, my tools are still kickin no problems
Love your reviews ,your attention to detail is great....best thing about ryobi be are the inchangeble battieries which can be used with your older ryobi tools.....
I just got my Ryobi 18 gauge airstrike nail gun and I have to say it is one of the best I've ever had. There are so many ways you can use this nail gun and it out performs just about the majority of some of the more expensive ones. So far I've used it for about a few days and haven't had no jams and I like how it just blinks the lights indicating that you have a low battery or a jam but for me it's always been a low battery. I truly highly recommend the Ryobi brand
I have great success with the cordless grinder, saws all, drills both, circular saw and the nail gun all I had pleasure of using and owning and they never let me down I recommend this brand to both veteran workers and just starting off because of it's strength and simplicity to use
I’m a recent convert to Ryobi. After my Kobalt drill died I saw Home Depot had a set of Ryobi tools on sale so I decided to give them a try. I sold my remaining Kobalt tools and have been buy Ryobi since. Great tools for the money. I also had no idea about that they are committed to the using the same battery packs.
I have the string trimmer/edger, blower, and 13inch 18v lawn mower. The mower cuts through the thickest grass no problem, the trimmer edger is so convenient with automatic string feeder, I love this set so much, I purchased the saw drill combo, as well as the 6gallon shop vac. Its grown man candyland and Im in Ryobi heaven.
My favorite: impact driver (RID1801), nailer (R18N18G), ANGLE GRINDER (R18AG), JIGSAW (R18JS). You have in America more powertools ryobi available. In Europe is small models. Great video!
Yea just sold my 1801 to a guy, loved that tool. I picked up the new 3 speed one, but haven't opened the box yet, need to get to that, hoping it is the same/better just couple more speeds that will help with the weaker stuff...
My Top 5 1. Quiet strike impact driver 2. 3 speed impact wrench 3. 4v screwdriver 4. 18v line strimmer 5. 16g nailer I have over 30 workshop, machine and garden tools, the only one I'd criticize is the older version reciprocating saw, however I may replace it with the newer model after this video. Thanks
Great video, thanks,. The Ryobi flash lights are AWESOME, I don't ever buy triple or double AA batteries anymore, my Ryobi lights are always ready to work when I need them. No more stupid tactical flash lights made by Duracell who conveniently make batteries for flashlights that drain batteries sitting around in the off position.
I like the older 4v driver. I have one with internal battery and one with replacable. It was a big mistake when they dumped the locking Chuck for the junk magnetic that bits pull out of.
Ryobi caught my eye early last year when I learned that TTI manufactures many of their drills. Having been a big fan of Milwaukee drills and knowing that TTI makes many of them, I figured I would give a DYI brand like Ryobi a try. Despite being made for the cheaper home owner type market I must say that so far I am impressed. I started with the Ryobi P261 18V ONE+ 3-Speed 1/2 in Cordless Impact Wrench (my personal favorite) works great and I use it all the time as I am a mechanic and I like the 3 speed switch on the top, works great for lug nuts or running down fasteners on vehicles. This drill has got a surprising amount of torque and its good enough to keep me from getting out my air hose all the time and using a larger drill. Next I purchased the P214 Ryobi ONE+ 18V 1/2 in. HAMMER DRILL- I love the ratcheting metal chuck its very well made and works great for everything from masonry concrete bits to running screws down in wood. Next I got the P421 grinder for the shop works great too just goes through batteries fast, even the 108 size burns up quick. And finally last I have the 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless Pole Saw Model # P4361 for trimming up tree limbs it also works great. All this can be found at Home Depot often for less then you can get them on Amazon and the Bay.
TTI owns Ryobi, Milwaukee and Ridgid. I have a couple of Milwaukee tools; all the rest(many) are Ryobi 18 volt one+ and 12 volts. Never had a problem with them.
I have had a 4 piece 18V Ryobi set for @ least 6+ yrs GREAT!.2 spd Drill... 51/2" circular saw, a Reciprocating saw...last a GREAT flashlight,I got them on sale@ Home Depot 119.00...best buy ever LOVE THEM!.
I'm a Dewalt guy most of the time and have many of their 20v and 60v tools. That being said, sometimes I don't need a Dewalt tool because of price or simply that Dewalt doesn't make the tool that I need. A few Ryobi tools that I absolutely LOVE even being a Dewalt guy are the Ryobi hot glue gun P305 and the caulking adhesive gun P310G. They are both QUALITY tools and work very well. Dewalt's version of the caulking gun is $200 vs Ryobi's $40 gun. You do the math. Great video!
In the past two years I started buying Ryobi tools and have been very impressed. I have previously bought Milwaukee, DeWalt mostly. I had the older version reciprocating saw p514 and have been impressed. I have used it for cutting down studs and pruning and it worked very well. I am also tough on my tools and the Ryobi's have held up well. I own an orbital sander, belt sander, string trimmer edger, multi tool, they have all worked well and stood up to being dropped thrown around. The one complaint was a drill I bought but it was on the lower end so I did not expect much. Years ago I would buy Ryobi as a throw away tool they have come a long way in the last 7 years
First off I am a huge Ryobi one plus fan. About 15 years ago I got a deal to good to refuse on a kit with circular saw, reciprocating saw, drill, light and vacuum. The light and vac were pretty useless but I still use the saws and drill. At that time when you needed a new battery you could buy a tool and battery at almost the same price as just the battery. At that time I owned some apartments so they saw pretty regular use but over the last 4 years I have been running my own handyman business so they see a ton of use. My old blue impact is my #1 favorite.It has 2 bit holders so I can keep 3 types of drive bits with me. I have one of the new green impacts but it stays at home. Dropped the blue impact twice from 8 feet onto concrete this week "not a habit" still going strong. I just bought the air strike brad nailer and even though I'm a Ryobi fan I am amazed at how well it works. For large jobs I bring my compressor but I can keep the air strike on the truck all the time. I'm actually here looking for reviews on their 18v rotary hammer. I would have only looked at plug in ones but as well as the airstrike works and the reviews I'm reading I'm giving it consideration.
I just love my Ryobi Air Strike. I am a Milwaukee fan and have many M18 and M12 tools. I saw the review of the Ryobi Air Strike beating the Milwaukee M18 nailer so I bought one and it is one amazing tool. No misfires and sinks 2" brad nails into any type of wood. I will be looking at more Ryobi battery tools in the future. I always thought they were a cheap brand made for light use. I was wrong.
I had a Ryobi hammer drill/driver for less than 30 days. Snapped the setting screw inside the choke. Returned to Home Depot. Purchased an 11 piece Milwaukee set for 50% off @$499. Talk about quality! Best money I've spent in a while, not to mention I made that investment back in the first week of having them.
There should be an environment law for tools manufacturers to settle for one agreeable universal battery adepter for all brands for each voltage level battery.
Lol. There you go. Let the government force their way in, destroy innovation and make universal junk. All our tools will fucking suck, but at least they'll be universal.
I agree with your pick of the Airstrike Brad nailer, It was the first of the One+ tools I bought and definitely my favourite. I haven't used my air compressor since I bought it.
Door jam multi tool, circular saw, drill, impact, flashlight, reciprocating saw, door hinge tool routing kit, scroll saw, and pole saw. All excellent! Oh and a sweet Ryobi tool bag.
Zsavage1 I never said ryobi was the best I said it was the best bang for the buck. We all know dewalt and Milwaukee are Superior. I've been in the construction industry for over 10 years. the name brand of your tool means nothing, it's the operator's skills that matter.
Boyd Tsosie I can't agree that DeWalt is a superior tool in all cases. I build hot tubs on an assembly line and we have a mixture of DeWalt and Ryobi impacts and saws etc... and they are all worked way harder than designed for believe me. on average we lose one to two DeWalt impacts a month yet I haven't seen one Ryobi 18v one+ burn up yet. before I got my job I never would have believed it but I guarantee when I go buy new tools now Ryobi will be the only choice. and I hate that cause I use to be a huge DeWalt fan boy lol
oh and to the construction site comment, yea you'll see DeWalt and Milwaukee everywhere not because they are that much better but because construction sites are also filled with overinflated egos and everyone there blindly buys whatever they think their peers would approve of them buying. want to impress me with tools show me a site with nothing but makita tools and metabos. that's quality.
I got started with Ryobi when my dad upgraded and gave me his old blue Ryobi’s. I’ve bought many new Ryobi tools and love their line. I also use the fan for truck camping. Ryobi also makes a 12 volt battery charger so I always have a fresh battery. The only problem I’ve had is with their circular saw it doesn’t cut thick plywood.
I love Ryobi tools for me there awesome and a good price,I've been using Ryobi tools since I was 22 years old and I still buy them now very nice video brother much love :)
I love Ryobi! I picked them about 5 years ago because I liked the color, then I found out they were great tools to use. Speaking of, I just bought some tools yesterday for my new job and they work fabulously.
I'm a big fan of Ryobi One+. Been using them for many years and I love that all my 18V tools use the same battery. If I was using these for my job, I'd likely go to Dewalt or Makita, but for the normal home owner tasks, these are great. The only thing I don't like about the reciprocating saw is it takes a while to cut a limb. But it works fantastic.
I own many Ryobi tools from the Blue old model that still very good. My favorite one is my old blue impact driver. I have the new one. I have Dewalt one, Hitachi 12 volts that is lighter but my favorite is the old Ryobi. It dropped and was broked but I make it repaired even it was expensive because I really like that tool.
I Love all of my Ryobi , I bought the new 3 speed Impact wrench and it works Great , its not a Milwaukee Fuel or a Snap On but does all I need it to .....
I love the new 3 speed 1/2" impact, mine actually outperforms my buddy's DeWalt impact by a fairly good margin. We just used it to install a lift kit on a Ram, and it knocked every stubborn nut loose where the DeWalt struggled or failed. I also purchased the Milwaukee M12 3/8" ratchet that had it's maiden voyage installing the lift kit. I cannot recommend it highly enough, air tool power without the hose!
+bigdhusker just bought the kit on sale yesterday. zipped the lug nuts off my grand Marquis and pulled the pins for my brake calipers so fast I had to turn it down!
![Ryobi is Awesome and Bad [wrong!]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Qkyn5vzu-8I/mqdefault.jpg)
Ryobi's commitment to not changing the battery is the main reason I choose to buy this line.
I started Ryobi when all you could get was the Nicad batteries. I only buy the 18v Ryobi because I can use a drill from 20 years ago with a brand new LION battery. I own at least 20 different Ryobi and I have never had one fail.
yeah I moved on to Dewalt a few years ago putting my six 15 yr old Ryobi tools in mothballs. But the other day I wanted to use the 5.5 ryobi circular saw and my nicads were all long dead.. so I picked up the new Ryobi hammer drill which included 2 batteries and the good smart charger, and now I have all the old Ryobi tools revived. I did not expect that at all! I think my Dewalt stuff is going to spare duties. Also my Paslode brad nailer is a pita needing fuel cans and ni cd battery, so might consider this Ryobi one. When I worked in construction everyone sneered at Ryobi lol. not me I just used it, happily
I used to have the whole set, but they keep releasing new ones. I can't keep up.
I stopped buying harbor freight battery tools because of the lack of commitment. I now stick to a platform that’s going to be there.
@@planesandbikes7353 You can use your DeWalt batteries on most of the Ryobi tools by using the DM18RL adapter, which you can buy on amazon. The only thing when using this adapter is to make sure you don't completely drain your DeWalt battery, which can damage the battery.
I tested the fan with the 9ah battery:
Low sped 30 hours / High speed 15 hours.
With the 3ah batteries the kit comes with:
Low speed 11 hours / High speed 5.5 hours.
You're welcome!
Their 18v blower runs 8 minutes with the battery is come with. Its a joke.
11W of fan power... amazing
@@larryandrews4298 All blowers do use a lot of juice. There is a unit I've seen that came bundled with a smaller battery, but they actually have three different 18v blowers (last I counted) and I recommend you step up to a larger battery. It will improve your power output and longevity immensely. I have the workshop blower. That thing is small, but LEGIT. Has three speeds and a touch sensitive trigger. I use it to blow oak leaves out of my lawn and rock beds. Not 100% successful blowing leaves out of the lawn, but blowing embedded oak leaves is no simple task. I also clear the driveway and sidewalks after mowing. It is well paired to the 3A battery, and SOOOOO convenient vs grabbing a corded unit.
Thank you kind sir. I've been too lazy to try this test. I'm going to use a sharpie to write these results on the bottom of the fan
Wow!
I presently have 14 Ryobi tools. I love them all. My favorite thing about them is that the battery mounts never change.
I dropped my first impact when they were blue from 2 story's up onto the concrete. When i went to retrieve it I was for sure i was in the market for a new one....NOPE!!! casing held together and was fully funtional...15 years later still using ryobi
My blue ryobi impact has been dropped, run over, left out in the rain. 14 years later it still gets the job done.
I even still use the original batteries. Had to zap them several times to recover them, but they still work
@@Scrippture zap them?
@@lilbbbbbbb yes the old NiCad batteries can be revived when they stop working. There are plenty of videos on youtube about zapping them.
@@Scrippture had no clue thanks
I've gone through two green impacts and still have the blue and run it daily. I flip houses so all my tools see a lot of action. I've used the quite strike and really liked it . I think it will be my next impact.
I have Ryobi and have had them for a long time. I am glad you talked about the battery compatibility. That is a big part of the reason I still use them. Most all their tools I love. My only disappointment was with their previous generation air station which did not last long before it died. I still have my first blue drill I bought from them at least 10 years ago. I use it for all my abusive jobs and it still has not died.
As a professional mechanic I use the Ryobi One 18v 1/2" impact I got in 2011 all day, every day. The rubber overmold has gotten a little gross from contact with oil, but the tool itself can't be beat.
For anybody looking to buy RYOBI tools they are great value. I have a buddy who is a custom millworker and uses a lot of the RYOBI tools on a daily basis. His reason for using them only is because the cost. If a tool gets lost, stolen, or just wears out, your not spending a fortune trying to replace the tool or battery!
John Rossow I'm with your buddy, I have a few of my original RYOBI tools from almost 20 years ago.
My blue impact is still on the job to this day, I've installed countless feet of subfloor, underlayment and decks with it and it's still kicking butt!
The nail gun is absolutely fabulous. Not only have I used it for 30 house projects, I have loaned it out to probably 5 different friends who were tackling some DIY projects and they absolutely loved it.
There seems to be a lot less drama with Ryobi. They have their head down and continue to make great, dependable tools
I can not comment on Ryobi until I use and own them😮😮
Ryobi is like an grown man version of Pokemon , gotta have them all. Lol
jd5179 lmfao they’re addicting I get shit I don’t need
This is the most true thing that has ever applied to me. I collected the cards when I was a kid. Now I collect the tools. Super relatable comment
If someone sees me chasing a Pokémon, just shoot me dead please.
Hey don't ask me I only have 69 of them...many more to go....just don't tell the wife!!!
@Steve I worked there for 43 years. Ryobi products is a piece of shit along with craftsman tools they used to make for Sears. Their Homelite products are worse. Everything they make is made in China. They made us lie about products everyday And treated their employees like shit.
I consider the tire inflator a must-have. I use it all the time for all of my various tire inflation needs and the built in gauge is handy and accurate.
Alright, you've convinced me. I have OCD so, all my tools need to match. I just bought a house and these tools will be a nice addition.
My shop is full of Ryobi tools. Love them!
Laser Riobi
Mine also. I finally built a work bench and shelf for them all.
@@lukelawrence8952 pls post pic of work bench....thx
@@mokolococo dont know if i can on this.
@@lukelawrence8952 thx anyways, just looking for ideas as my collection of Ryobi tools grows.
I bought my first Ryobi drill/driver over 20 years ago! Since then the NiCad batteries died, but I was very happy to discover the new 18+ batteries fit perfectly. Now I have a whole shop of Ryobi 18 volt power tools and I have never been disappointed. My fav is the original 1/4 inch impact driver, which I have used to construct wood fences and other wood projects. It is a bit loud compared to the new model, but it gets the job done, and I've used it constantly for over 3 years.
I could go on for hours about how great Ryobi is. I bet I have 20 of their tools. Great video!!
Love the new Ryobi tools. Well balanced and lightweight, with heavy duty capabilities. I was always a Dewalt guy and naturally I had all the stuff, because I'm cool like that. But, I have since been renewing/replacing my tool collection with the Ryobi stuff and I'm impressed so far.
I want to see that hybrid technology used for other systems as well, especially for yard tools. Being able to use a chainsaw, trimmer, or blower on cord when practical and then throwing in a battery when it's not practical would be incredibly useful.
I can completely attest to the brad nailer. I use it commercially and with heavy use on a day to day basis, (having switched to it from compressed-air nailers), and let me be the first to say, I won't be going back to compressed air nailers. The this ryobi nailer simply drives every nail, with speed, and efficiency. Hundreds of shots every day, and it has never failed. The bigger batteries allow it to perform even better, with a quicker drive. If youre looking for a few brad nailer that won't let you down, the one shown in this video is simply the one to get.
I recently started buying ryobi tools. I love Ryobi.
Awesome tools all my old blue series stuff still works great more than ten years after buying. Drill, hammer drill, skill saw, reciprocating saw, all going strong. The weed whacker has been reliable, four years old now, used weekly all summer. Recently picked up the 1/2 inch impact gun... worked like a champ and I have no reason to doubt that it's as good as the rest that I own.
The commitment to the battery platform is why I dumped makita and dewalt...
Jason Luther
U made a mistake
I personally haven't been impressed with Makita, most of my coworkers who use them end up with broken battery packs and duct taped impact drivers.
dfm503 Your coworkers are retards that dont take care of their tools.
Kelpo Gaming HVAC is commonly up in rafters and it's fast paced, if you never drop an impact you're going too slow to keep your job. My impact has survived at least a dozen 10+ foot falls.
home vs industrial. can't t compare them!!!
I just got the 18v x 2 10 inch sliding dual bevel brushless cordless miter saw. It went on sale for $199. The Brad nailer was my favorite but now my new miter is by far the best tool of any kind I’ve ever owned ! I love it and I’ve already used it on many projects. So much power and cuts through tons of different wood with ease! Great tool!
Absolutely love the 18volt chemical sprayer. No more pumping!!!
Long time Milwaukee user here. I haven't seen the Ryobi One+ Caulking Gun mentioned yet, but that unique offering is what brought me in to the Ryobi family. We were building a new house and had literally hundreds of feet of caulking to do. All around windows, doors, floor plates. Not to mention all the trim in the finishing stage. This tool saved my poor old arthritic hands a bunch of pain! Not to mention, it makes laying a beautiful bead of caulk so easy that anyone can do it. Later in the middle of the build when my very old 12V (not M12) Milwaukee cordless drill batteries died, none were available locally and the ones I did find online were very expensive. So it was back to researching on the internet where I found the same thing many others have: the same company and factory builds Milwaukee, Ryobi & Ridgid drills. Then it was off to Home Depot for a new cordless drill and because of the positive experience with the caulk gun, I walked right past Milwaukee and went straight to Ryobi and looked at their drills.Felt good in the hand. All the controls were just right, forward reverse just where it should be. Then I found a set that came with a drill & impact tool, 2 batteries and another charger in a bag on sale for $99! Cheaper than new batteries for the Milwaukee. I gotta say, they have been damned impressive tools. We finished the build and they are still going strong building shelves and doing other projects. There isn't a week that goes by that one of them doesn't get used. They are simply an excellent value.
I have been using RyobI Since 2004, I was skeptical at first, but I used them everyday in Construction and they have never let me down. I am waiting for them to make a Right Angle 3/8 impact. All my Ryobi tools are still the Blue ones, I only upgraded the Battery Packs to Lithium.
I realize this was an old post, but they actually do have a 3/8 impact available (sort of). If you buy their multi-tool which has a sander and vibratory cutter, you can get an accessory head from a Ridgid JobMax and it fits right on. I've been using one for at least 3 years.
I bought the P320 brad nailer and I love it. It was a no brainer since I own quite a few ryobi cordless tools I most recently got the palm router, finish sander, the inflator with a hose, the brushless jigsaw, sds hammer drill and I started my collection of ryobi tools with a display package but a couple pieces were missing but it was a fantastic price with that I got a 6.5 circular saw, a drill a impact driller and a flashlight.
I’ve been loving the ryobi kit I got for my dad for Father’s Day it’s the non brushless set with the saw light drill etc works great and he uses them pretty much every week that’s why I bought my Ryobi 9013 I believe it’s a brushless hammer Drill and my Brushless 3 speed impact they have been doing really well especially since I got them for a great price and I work in the auto industry at a body shop in Pa! Your video is great and I appreciate how you don’t look down on Ryobi like many other on TH-cam.
I had a Ryobi weed whacker that I used for about 2 years against the big names. It was being used all day every day as a job tool. It never broke or ran hot. All I did was change the blade to a thinner and longer blade and it worked awesome.
Gave it to my brother 7 years ago for his home use and it's still going.
I got the nail gun first. It is incredible I love it. Just got the 18 gauge staple gun and that works wonders as well. Ryobi has some nice stuff I'm impressed
I have over thirty of the Ryobi 18v platform tools and I gotta say I've only ever had problems with one of there tools and that was the 1gal sprayer. I went through three of them in less than a year, one didn't spray at all and that was right out of the box, finally Ryobi quit returning my e-mails and phone calls. I'm not a "hard charger" when it comes to my Ryobi tools, I'm a home handyman at best. thanks for the review of these five tools and keep up the good work!
The ryobi 18v LED Worklight is a must have, i love it!
Freddy Colon I kind of wish the work light was a little more dispersed in its lighting. it kind of only projects to the sides, not much vertical projection.
@@shreefsbini9904 it's foldable and hangable
I have been using Ryobi tools for over 10 years and am extremely happy. I recently purchased an Air Strike brad nailer and initially had some trouble but when I changed the battery to a 4AH the problems ceased. I also bought 2 of the 6AH batteries and it performed even better & longer. As a matter a fact I have yet to have to change batteries the 6AH batteries are so good. I bought an angle grinder a couple of years back and was disappointed but am going to try it with the 6AH battery and will be surprised if it doesn't solve my problem. I have over 45 Ryobi tools and continue to buy I am so impressed. I recently saw a report comparing Ryobi to 4 other , so called, low end tools and Ryobi got 5 stars where the others got 3 or less. Great tools and very dependable manufacturer.
I don't think enough love is given to the Ryobi hot glue gun. I use it to attach stuff all the time. I also use it to build firework displays. I made fun of it until I used it for the first time, now I can't give it up. I also love my 18v leaf blower!
We love Ryobi. I hate mowing with gas engines, so hubby got me the battery mower. Had it for 3 summers now. Works great. We just picked up the pole saw for our tree trimming. Thats a great tool also, especially when I got quoted $750 from a professional to do a light trim. Now we can trim alot more trees with it.
I remember a time when ryobi were regarded as low class, second rate crap that you bought on the cheap (and expected to break and often did) ...whoever designed and promoted the one class is seriously a champion. Someone who turned a failing business model into a respected name and gave people a quality budget product on one battery platform.
I totally agree!
Ryobi has some innovative products.
I think the name brands are trying to catch up with them.
Last Christmas, I bought the Drill and Impact driver combo due to the price... color me impressed. Corded tools were such a pain that it made using them a chore, but the freedom of using cordless tools had me looking for the opportunity to use them. Now, one year later, I have 18 different Ryobi tools. One of my favorites? The hot glue gun. Heats quicker than a corded version. Guilty Pleasure? Handheld trim router. I use it more than my full sized routers. Next Purchase? Gotta be the fan. Come on Ryobi, You make 'em, I'll buy 'em.
The P237 impact driver is my favorite tool. It has 3 speeds, which all have trigger variation as well. Which is really useful if you want to get screws flush with softer materials like drywall. It also has tons of power and seriously competes with Dewalt and Milwaukee's impact drivers in that department.
I ditto this same model as well
I just bought a Ryobi vacuum cleaner and I Love it. It’s very portable and no stupid cords to get tangled. I used it to clean my camper after doing work under the sink and water heater. I’m well pleased with my purchase. Love Ryobi. I have about 10 tools.
I've got a very old Ryobi drill, at least 10+ years old, works perfectly fine with a brand new 4aH 18v ONE+ battery that I got for the Ryobi weed eater. I'm lucky to have a Ryobi factory blem store just down the road so I get great tools for great prices.
My first Ryobi tool was the Airstrike Brad Nailer. Loved it so much, I went and bought the drill, then the little sander. Since then, I've bought one of the weed whackers, cordless pole saw, the 40A weed whacker, power washer, snow blower and the one I love the most, the 40A cordless, self propelled lawn mower. Had that for two years now and like the way it cuts and so simple to operate and the best part, no gas and oil. Same with the snow blower.
I still have the same drill charger and battery from about ten years ago. All work like perfect
I've had a Ryobi 18V drill for many years. I loved the fact that when the original Nicad batteries crapped out and wouldn't hold a charge anymore I could replace them with new lithium batteries. I've had several other brands that, once the batteries died, I had to throw away a perfectly good working tool. Now, I don't earn my living with these tools but for the money, they are great for the average home owner.
The fan needs to be a charger when using the cord.
Bub Dog's What do you think? you need to charge to plug it in ?
He likely wants it to be able to charge a battery pack. The issue with that is it will increase cost and size of the unit. but it would be nice to see that as an option.
JD I don't believe it would increase the size. The reason chargers are the size they are is because the inside needs room to naturally vent heat. With a fan, the size goes down tremendously. It's the reason PC power supplies can do so much in such a small size.
The fan would need to be redesigned and made slightly larger; due to the fact that the battery pack blocks the AC input.
No, you'd like it to be one but it definitely does not need to be one. I definitely do not want a charger built in, would be silly waste to me since I already have a charger and don't want to take a bulky fan with me most of the time.
I have never found a tool reviewer as good as this! I always check Real Tool Reviews when I am buying new tools.
A lot of companies make nice tools. Ryobi makes a lot of good stuff. Good review.
I tell you.. I've and still own ryobi tools.. sometime now I changed over to the Milwaukee drills.. and they performed very good.. but must say.. my 18v Milwaukee drill just took a dump... and needless to say.. my RYOBI IS STILL TRUCKING ALONG..After three years later... gotta love it..
Good list! I went out and bought the inflator/deflator and the Quiet Strike after your video. One other tool suggestion is the Multi Tool.
What really convinced me was first of all the battery platform. I really like using my Ryobi tools, they work perfectly for my needs.
That air strike is one of my favorite tools!
I bought the Brad nailer on sale for $99. I was skeptical so carefully opened the box in case I needed to return it. I threw the box away after the first day of use. Outstanding!!!!
Shop tools, yard tools, camping tools, wife’s vacuum, I have 28 tools and 12 batteries including two 9AH. Best tool platform made! Period!
Agreed! When my wife wanted a stick vacuum for the house I insisted on buying the Ryobi so I would have an additional battery for all my tools! Does that make me selfish or just incredibly smart?
@Steve I dare you to say that to my og Ryobi blue recip saw and circular saw that have been used consistently for the past 15 years and just won't die.
@Steve I don't believe your statement to be the "rule" of Ryobi tools so my statement is far from an exception.
Scott Hutchinson That a boy! Great way to have an excuse to buy a couple of the 9ah batteries! They are awesome batteries!
One wish? Ryobi would come out with an 18v high quality, high output stereo and Bluetooth Party boom box like 1000 watts at a price point of around $300 -$400. I’d be all over it!
That brad nailer is incredible. It was recommended by a guy who works at Home Depot and you both are right, it is a great tool well worth the money.
The One+ soldering iron is the best I have ever used. Really impressed with the impact wrench and brushless drill too. I'll be buying the lawnmower soon!
I was a Milwaukee guy before until I needed new batteries because they stopped making them. I couldn't bring myself to start over and invest $500 just for a basic kit. Now seeing other people satisfied with Ryobi I think I made the right choice. Looking forward to getting my drain cleaner and it was $130 opposed to $550 for Milwaukee's version 😬.
I just bought me a ryobi tool set off ebay. It's the 8 piece set with the mightier saw I'm excited
You’re gonna be impressed. I had my doubts at first but with the warranty & price I couldnt say no. 1 year later & 1000 drops off a 6 foot ladder, my tools are still kickin no problems
I have the 18v drill and love it. What sold me was the price. I bought mine for $80 CAD from home Depot three years ago and it has not failed me once.
Love your reviews ,your attention to detail is great....best thing about ryobi be are the inchangeble battieries which can be used with your older ryobi tools.....
I just got my Ryobi 18 gauge airstrike nail gun and I have to say it is one of the best I've ever had. There are so many ways you can use this nail gun and it out performs just about the majority of some of the more expensive ones. So far I've used it for about a few days and haven't had no jams and I like how it just blinks the lights indicating that you have a low battery or a jam but for me it's always been a low battery. I truly highly recommend the Ryobi brand
I have great success with the cordless grinder, saws all, drills both, circular saw and the nail gun all I had pleasure of using and owning and they never let me down I recommend this brand to both veteran workers and just starting off because of it's strength and simplicity to use
I’m a recent convert to Ryobi. After my Kobalt drill died I saw Home Depot had a set of Ryobi tools on sale so I decided to give them a try. I sold my remaining Kobalt tools and have been buy Ryobi since. Great tools for the money. I also had no idea about that they are committed to the using the same battery packs.
18v airstrike nail gun. Did an entire 9’x16’ reclaimed wood accent wall on a single 3ah battery
I have the string trimmer/edger, blower, and 13inch 18v lawn mower. The mower cuts through the thickest grass no problem, the trimmer edger is so convenient with automatic string feeder, I love this set so much, I purchased the saw drill combo, as well as the 6gallon shop vac. Its grown man candyland and Im in Ryobi heaven.
My favorite: impact driver (RID1801), nailer (R18N18G), ANGLE GRINDER (R18AG), JIGSAW (R18JS). You have in America more powertools ryobi available. In Europe is small models. Great video!
Yea just sold my 1801 to a guy, loved that tool. I picked up the new 3 speed one, but haven't opened the box yet, need to get to that, hoping it is the same/better just couple more speeds that will help with the weaker stuff...
Kartboarder22G
like open box and tested 3speed give more info and opinion
I dont have the grinder but YES to the nailer, driver, and jigsaw. SO legit
All of my cordless tools are Ryobi, all of my lawn tools are also. Have a set from 2004 that are still running strong.
Love the fan! It's a godsend for those of us with tinnitus on camping trips. Thank you for uploading!
Robert Johnson I feel your pain brother.
I just have a white noise app on my smartphone. But I also like the idea of moving air around inside a warm tent... both before and during sleep.
I live by ryobi from my power tools to my lawn mower and weed wacker. Great quality and very affordable.
My Top 5
1. Quiet strike impact driver
2. 3 speed impact wrench
3. 4v screwdriver
4. 18v line strimmer
5. 16g nailer
I have over 30 workshop, machine and garden tools, the only one I'd criticize is the older version reciprocating saw, however I may replace it with the newer model after this video. Thanks
Great video, thanks,. The Ryobi flash lights are AWESOME, I don't ever buy triple or double AA batteries anymore, my Ryobi lights are always ready to work when I need them. No more stupid tactical flash lights made by Duracell who conveniently make batteries for flashlights that drain batteries sitting around in the off position.
My old sawzall died, but the new one is killer
I like the older 4v driver. I have one with internal battery and one with replacable. It was a big mistake when they dumped the locking Chuck for the junk magnetic that bits pull out of.
I own most of the Ryobi One Woodworking tools; Circular Saw, Router, Miter saw, they all perform flawlessly!
Ryobi caught my eye early last year when I learned that TTI manufactures many of their drills. Having been a big fan of Milwaukee drills and knowing that TTI makes many of them, I figured I would give a DYI brand like Ryobi a try. Despite being made for the cheaper home owner type market I must say that so far I am impressed. I started with the Ryobi P261 18V ONE+ 3-Speed 1/2 in Cordless Impact Wrench (my personal favorite) works great and I use it all the time as I am a mechanic and I like the 3 speed switch on the top, works great for lug nuts or running down fasteners on vehicles. This drill has got a surprising amount of torque and its good enough to keep me from getting out my air hose all the time and using a larger drill. Next I purchased the P214 Ryobi ONE+ 18V 1/2 in. HAMMER DRILL- I love the ratcheting metal chuck its very well made and works great for everything from masonry concrete bits to running screws down in wood. Next I got the P421 grinder for the shop works great too just goes through batteries fast, even the 108 size burns up quick. And finally last I have the 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless Pole Saw Model # P4361 for trimming up tree limbs it also works great. All this can be found at Home Depot often for less then you can get them on Amazon and the Bay.
TTI owns Ryobi, Milwaukee and Ridgid. I have a couple of Milwaukee tools; all the rest(many) are Ryobi 18 volt one+ and 12 volts. Never had a problem with them.
Cordless drill was the first Ryobi tool I bought, and outside of busting a few bits because I was overzealous with them, it's never let me down! :)
I have had a 4 piece 18V Ryobi set for @ least 6+ yrs GREAT!.2 spd Drill... 51/2" circular saw, a Reciprocating saw...last a GREAT flashlight,I got them on sale@ Home Depot 119.00...best buy ever LOVE THEM!.
Very clear and precise video, love your voice, its clear and calm without being boring
I'm a Dewalt guy most of the time and have many of their 20v and 60v tools. That being said, sometimes I don't need a Dewalt tool because of price or simply that Dewalt doesn't make the tool that I need. A few Ryobi tools that I absolutely LOVE even being a Dewalt guy are the Ryobi hot glue gun P305 and the caulking adhesive gun P310G. They are both QUALITY tools and work very well. Dewalt's version of the caulking gun is $200 vs Ryobi's $40 gun. You do the math. Great video!
Love my 20 in mower/bagger,no gas and oil mess,very quiet
In the past two years I started buying Ryobi tools and have been very impressed. I have previously bought Milwaukee, DeWalt mostly. I had the older version reciprocating saw p514 and have been impressed. I have used it for cutting down studs and pruning and it worked very well. I am also tough on my tools and the Ryobi's have held up well. I own an orbital sander, belt sander, string trimmer edger, multi tool, they have all worked well and stood up to being dropped thrown around. The one complaint was a drill I bought but it was on the lower end so I did not expect much. Years ago I would buy Ryobi as a throw away tool they have come a long way in the last 7 years
Great presentation, I agree with you, the P261 is also a nice consistent, along with ryobi's cordless pole chainsaw.
First off I am a huge Ryobi one plus fan. About 15 years ago I got a deal to good to refuse on a kit with circular saw, reciprocating saw, drill, light and vacuum. The light and vac were pretty useless but I still use the saws and drill. At that time when you needed a new battery you could buy a tool and battery at almost the same price as just the battery. At that time I owned some apartments so they saw pretty regular use but over the last 4 years I have been running my own handyman business so they see a ton of use. My old blue impact is my #1 favorite.It has 2 bit holders so I can keep 3 types of drive bits with me. I have one of the new green impacts but it stays at home. Dropped the blue impact twice from 8 feet onto concrete this week "not a habit" still going strong. I just bought the air strike brad nailer and even though I'm a Ryobi fan I am amazed at how well it works. For large jobs I bring my compressor but I can keep the air strike on the truck all the time. I'm actually here looking for reviews on their 18v rotary hammer. I would have only looked at plug in ones but as well as the airstrike works and the reviews I'm reading I'm giving it consideration.
I use a lot ryobi tools, I have no complaints about it.
I just love my Ryobi Air Strike. I am a Milwaukee fan and have many M18 and M12 tools. I saw the review of the Ryobi Air Strike beating the Milwaukee M18 nailer so I bought one and it is one amazing tool. No misfires and sinks 2" brad nails into any type of wood.
I will be looking at more Ryobi battery tools in the future. I always thought they were a cheap brand made for light use. I was wrong.
Ryobi power tools are nice, we have a Ryobi Miter Saw and Circular Saw and both are awesome!
I had a Ryobi hammer drill/driver for less than 30 days. Snapped the setting screw inside the choke. Returned to Home Depot. Purchased an 11 piece Milwaukee set for 50% off @$499. Talk about quality! Best money I've spent in a while, not to mention I made that investment back in the first week of having them.
Now don't get me wrong, I loved how these tools felt...until they broke...
Love the brad nailer!! Plan to buy the fan also.
i would of never thought to consider this brand but after reading the comments and watching i am impressed. thanks for the video.
I like their 18v bucket-top misting fan... Nice to have next to your inflatible pool while grilling!😊
Totally agree with No. 1, the Ryobi brad nailer is one of my best and most reliable tools.
There should be an environment law for tools manufacturers to settle for one agreeable universal battery adepter for all brands for each voltage level battery.
I think what you really mean is they shouldn't be able to patent the design so everyone could copy whatever was voted the best.
There's a battery alliance with some European brands
That would be great. I bet you don't use apple products.
Lol. There you go. Let the government force their way in, destroy innovation and make universal junk. All our tools will fucking suck, but at least they'll be universal.
Lol dumb
I have the reciprocating saw and it is an absolute beast. I've cut through cast iron and tree stumps with it.
The radio is my favorite, and easiest to use.
I agree with your pick of the Airstrike Brad nailer, It was the first of the One+ tools I bought and definitely my favourite. I haven't used my air compressor since I bought it.
Door jam multi tool, circular saw, drill, impact, flashlight, reciprocating saw, door hinge tool routing kit, scroll saw, and pole saw. All excellent! Oh and a sweet Ryobi tool bag.
Ryobi the best bang for the buck
The battery part is cool, other than that I would only recommend ryobi to my house wife
fair enough I understand brand loyalty
Zsavage1 I never said ryobi was the best I said it was the best bang for the buck. We all know dewalt and Milwaukee are Superior. I've been in the construction industry for over 10 years. the name brand of your tool means nothing, it's the operator's skills that matter.
Boyd Tsosie I can't agree that DeWalt is a superior tool in all cases. I build hot tubs on an assembly line and we have a mixture of DeWalt and Ryobi impacts and saws etc... and they are all worked way harder than designed for believe me. on average we lose one to two DeWalt impacts a month yet I haven't seen one Ryobi 18v one+ burn up yet. before I got my job I never would have believed it but I guarantee when I go buy new tools now Ryobi will be the only choice. and I hate that cause I use to be a huge DeWalt fan boy lol
oh and to the construction site comment, yea you'll see DeWalt and Milwaukee everywhere not because they are that much better but because construction sites are also filled with overinflated egos and everyone there blindly buys whatever they think their peers would approve of them buying. want to impress me with tools show me a site with nothing but makita tools and metabos. that's quality.
I got started with Ryobi when my dad upgraded and gave me his old blue Ryobi’s. I’ve bought many new Ryobi tools and love their line. I also use the fan for truck camping. Ryobi also makes a 12 volt battery charger so I always have a fresh battery. The only problem I’ve had is with their circular saw it doesn’t cut thick plywood.
I love Ryobi tools for me there awesome and a good price,I've been using Ryobi tools since I was 22 years old and I still buy them now very nice video brother much love :)
Love my Ryobi impact driver and I don’t have the quit one, but that thing amazes me every time I use.
Great video. You just can't beat Ryobi value for the money.
I love Ryobi! I picked them about 5 years ago because I liked the color, then I found out they were great tools to use. Speaking of, I just bought some tools yesterday for my new job and they work fabulously.
Using my. Ryobi fan as we speak keeps me. Comfy :)
I'm a big fan of Ryobi One+. Been using them for many years and I love that all my 18V tools use the same battery. If I was using these for my job, I'd likely go to Dewalt or Makita, but for the normal home owner tasks, these are great.
The only thing I don't like about the reciprocating saw is it takes a while to cut a limb. But it works fantastic.
1/2" drive impact is wonderful in the garage 👍🏻
I've been looking at these. The 1/4" impact just doesn't have the torque for automotive stuff beyond 12 or 14mm.
I own many Ryobi tools from the Blue old model that still very good. My favorite one is my old blue impact driver. I have the new one. I have Dewalt one, Hitachi 12 volts that is lighter but my favorite is the old Ryobi. It dropped and was broked but I make it repaired even it was expensive because I really like that tool.
I Love all of my Ryobi , I bought the new 3 speed Impact wrench and it works Great , its not a Milwaukee Fuel or a Snap On but does all I need it to .....
I love the new 3 speed 1/2" impact, mine actually outperforms my buddy's DeWalt impact by a fairly good margin. We just used it to install a lift kit on a Ram, and it knocked every stubborn nut loose where the DeWalt struggled or failed. I also purchased the Milwaukee M12 3/8" ratchet that had it's maiden voyage installing the lift kit. I cannot recommend it highly enough, air tool power without the hose!
I won't work on my my vehicles without the 1/2" impact handy. Takes off the lugs on my 1 ton no problem.
+bigdhusker just bought the kit on sale yesterday. zipped the lug nuts off my grand Marquis and pulled the pins for my brake calipers so fast I had to turn it down!
