All my power tools are ryobi and after this video I’m going to check all of them for lubrication, there all ryobi because of price, durability and quality and now I learned ryobi is the same as everything else which is they make stuff to not last a long time so you have to buy it again in couple of years so they can keep making money off of you now I know what to look for in ryobi this video is awesome priceless information
@@champ7410 Ryobi is not that bad. I had Makita before and I had a leaf blower that I hardly used and one day it just went dead. Come to find out it was some issue with the internals that make it fail that many people have complained about. All of my Ryobi tools have worked just fine so far but I have heard that the reciprocating saws are not the best.
I bought a set of 6 inch long bits because I got tired of having to go for a long screwdriver for the one or two pesky screws the regular bit couldn’t reach. Practically everything manufactured today is made not only to prematurely fail but to be nearly impossible to repair by the average person. I enjoy your videos. Thanks. Mike - USA.
I bought a wired recip saw 15 yrs ago, abused it like you wouldn't believe. Same wobble since forever but it is still going strong, poor accuracy but he's my friend.
I bought one last weekend and opened it up, just to find out it is loaded with grease. Maybe they updated the production line. Not sure. Everything was greased as it should be. It's a shame people will turn away from videos like this.
I used my new Ryobi saws all for the first time, gave my old one to my kid. I was abusing it trying to cut a wall out at the floor, so it got that same wiggle side to side. Now it's my loner tool, don't mind giving it away. I started buying all Harbor freight tools. Mostly all on sell or buy battery and charger and get a free tool. So now I have 2 of everything. Plus about half a dozen Ryobi tools.
I just opened up my reciprocating saw, here’s my process. I removed the battery, there is a label where the battery came out, the label has to either be cut or removed so that the two haves of the saw can come apart. Mine had 16 screws, the driver that I used was a T 10. Only the T10 screws need to be removed. I got a set of Torx drivers from Amazon, the drivers are about 3 inches long. After I removed the screws, the plastic saw casing can be taken apart. Then lift the tab that allows you to remove the saw blade, now the motor and gear assembly can be removed. For oiling/greasing that was all of the disassembly that I had to do. Next I used the lubricants. Follow the instructions in this video, great advise! I had a problem with not being able to remove or install the blade on my saw, all that I had to do was lubricate that part where the blade goes in, there is an outer ring where I used the spray lubricant. I’ll start lubricating it on a regular basis from now on. The lubricant that I used was “Superzilla”. To reassemble, just reverse the order of disassembly. When I reassembled the saw, it seemed like the screws could easily strip out, so I chose to just get them snug. If one did strip out, what I have done in the past is to cut short pieces of a toothpick, put the piece in the hole, then install the screw, I’ve sometimes used a drop of wood glue as well. Again, this was the procedure that I used, your saw may be different from mine. Consult the manufacturer for their procedure. This only took about 20 minutes to do with all of the right tools, I wasn’t trying to rush it, just trying to do it right. Good luck
I've got one of these saws which is older with the dark blue plastic casing and that saw was factory lubricated with brown grease but it also has an metal cover screwed over the gears that totally encloses the gear train and keeps the grease inside the gearbox doing what it should be doing - Lubricating the gears and bushes ! - Can't understand why they did away with the gear case top cover on the newer light green casing Ryobi reciprocating saws ? - My one is also 18v and uses the same battery my 18v Ryobi circular saw uses...
Exactly!- they earn a good reputation with the blue ones- then in the 2000's they go all Black&Decker on it and start selling stuff that has built in fails.
@@t.h.o.r. Yes, those early ones were just too good ! and very bad for business, as if they do not wear out and fail quickly then people wouldn't need to buy another replacement product (like you did), hence Ryobi would make less money ! - Merry Christmas - Great video !
@@t.h.o.r. th-cam.com/video/HmTiuKHHrlM/w-d-xo.html This is the same as my saw - You can see the metal cover on the gearbox, You might be able to order it as a spare part, or buy an older dark blue Ryobi saw with the totally sealed gearbox. Best of luck mate.
I bought some of the aftermarket replacement batteries, one just fell out today while I was using the reciprocating saw. So beware of those aftermarket batteries, even though they seem like a great deal, there are some drawbacks to them. Being from Amazon, there’s probably only a 30 day return policy.
I'm an occasional tool user not a hobbyist or dedicated woodworker and all my power tools are Ryobi. They've never let me down and always worked when I needed them. IF I was into doing heavier work, home renovation, building a deck, making furniture and heavier work like cutting metal I would definitely upgrade to more professional tools but then again. there's the cost that goes with it. You get what you pay for. Your Ryobi looks like it's had more than it's fair share of use and abuse and considering what you're using it for I'd bite the bullet and get a saw that's up to the job.
I really like Bauer tools but if I need more power I pick up my Hercules tools. I bought both lines of tools.But I think Bauer is the best bang for the buck.
Ive been stepping over it for the last month! Ive had other 'must-do' work. It's winter here and I have to build stoves. Nobody orders them until they are freezing their tits off- Then it goes nuts. - Ill be cracking into it in about 10 days time.
We bought a tool package and after the first use the tip that holds the blade snapped off and Home Depot said lifetime guarantee but refused to do so and said contact the company, obviously it’s not just me lol
Is there a chance there is no lubrication so swarf and metal filings etc do not get stuck in the lubricated parts which in turn could wear out the mechanism even more quickly compared to no lubrication where it filings can work themselves out?
Haha- are you working for Ryobi? - I did have those thoughts myself, but if you look at the casting you will see that it was originally designed with four screw holes and a flange to secure a cover over the entire mechanism. that would keep the swarf out. There was no evidence of any swarf anywhere in the unit. Not even stuck to the magnets of the motor.
Lol yes you can change brand. Just buy an adaptor. You snip two wires, terminal them together and voila. Just make sure voltage is the same. I buy high quality batteries but use cheap tools from china because replacement parts are so inexpensive and easy to find (Makita clones). Do a little research, see if it is for you. I have not have had any issues, but yeah, tools from China come with NO lube. So I always open them up and lube them. Takes 30 minutes at the longest, but worth it imo. Thanks for the video and good luck.
Cool..... you're FINALLY going to make the follow up video about the wind turbine?!?!? 😝😝😝 Ryobi is cheap & cheerful and I don't mind the occasional hiccup....better than paying 6X for a Milwaukee etc which last just as short!!!! At least Bunnings give you a 6year home warranty.......take it back I would!!!!
Haha- you know what Im going to do?-Keep it for parts. I have a Ryobi 150mm circular saw with a fried motor. Im hoping the motor is compatible. I recently found a Ryobi planer at the dump- needed brushes. Not available! so I filed down a pair of Nissan Sunny alternator brushes. Ryobi dont fix anything according to their website. And yes- I have to swing the wind turbine down, thanks for reminding me. But what Ive been doing for the last 6 weeks will set me up for the future. My shoulders are both blown out and I cant work anymore. Ill be growing mushrooms.
I like your style but Ive started adding up what Im worth per hour. and $99 for a bare tool got me going again fast so I can earn more money to give to Ryobi hahahaa
Sadly, all the Ryobi tools are strictly homeowner/DIY quality and they perform accordingly. Do not buy a Ryobi and expect it to perform remotely like a Makita or Bosch, or Milwaukee (although they have fallen down with a lot of their cordless tools lately), and especially not like a Festool or Metabo. The benefit of Ryobi is that you can spend half as much money as the other brands and if you only need to use a tool about one a week you should be fine. But if you expect to use your power tools regularly and then pass them on to your children, you need to look elsewhere. That being said, the internals of tools like reciprocating saws do not use lube on very many parts. Lube is a catcher for every bit of dirt and grit and shavings that you generate unless the tool is very well sealed. And at the cost of homeowner tools you are simply not going to get a lot of sophisticated seals and complex assemblies. When I encounter situations like this one, I turn to UHMW polypropylene. It is extremely durable, slippery, easily milled and machined into the shapes you need (like the rub blocks here) and a coating of a graphite based dry lubricant will provide you with the support and low friction contact you need for this tool. By coincidence I have a Ryobi One+HP brushless reciprocating saw in my company fabrication shop (I run a custom furniture fabrication shop for a large installation company) right now that is about a month old and the output shaft snapped when the tool got jammed in a cut. The shaft is clearly a cast part rather than forged, as you would expect in the more expensive tools, and unfortunately for the co-worker who owns it the part is not available for retail buyers. So he has 2 choices; send it to a Ryobi repair facility and probably pay close to the original cost in shipping and repair costs, or toss it and buy a Makita or Bosch or Milwaukee, or even a Hercules from Harbor Freight, and get a considerably better built tool.
Great points! Ive made so many sliders and guides from slices of plastic chopping board shaped on my portable band saw with a small self made table and my belt sander
Does that make them a better tool?- All it does is show that you are eyeballs deep in consumerism and the throw away society. Why are you even on my channel Trevor?
@@t.h.o.r. A bit harsh and judgemental mate. I'm trying to point out that Ryobi stands by their product, even though it is a light duty consumer product. Yes there are much better and robust tools out there, but if you must buy cheap then treat it gently, LOL. I too am invested on the Ryobi +ONE range but I try to be realistic on its service level.
sorry- I misunderstood your angle Trevor. Im not much of a claim on the warranty guy. - so many issues can be fixed by tightening a screw but I was dismayed to pull this thing apart and find it dry as a bone and full of metal dust. My new one (which I paid for) is all lubed and is running so much better than the last one. technically I would not qualify for the warranty as Im a self employed engineer, even though I only used it for releasing the corners of my woodstove doors after the main cuts are done with an angle grinder. 3 stoves per week, 4 corners, 12x 2cm cuts per week in 3mm steel and dead in a year.
I learned a lot from this one. Great content👍.I’ve had great luck with tools and always follow my instincts when buying ..never lets me down. I have some Ryobi odds and sods, Makita, Festool and Ozito..so your basic brand slut. 🙏🇦🇺 got to make your diesel from plastic device ASAP. Every hood could use one. Thank you Sir.
I'm a little bit confused. You list your location as NZ. Ryobi offers a 4 year replacement warranty on these tools here (6 if registered). You also have the additional protection of the CGA here which would definitely result in at least a replacement if only a couple of years old. Just take it back to Bunnings and get a replacement or refund. You definitely don't need to buy another one.
Look, in the US Homedepot sell it. I use it abuse it and if it has a problem I take it back for full refund. If this is good for Ryobi or the other brands so be it.
I bought a Ryobi drill press yrs ago. The chuck never ran true so I sold it. There will never be anything ryobi in my workshop ever again. They make SHIT.
someone else suggested hardwood blocks! You are dead right- thats all it would have taken for Ryobi to get it right. But cutting corners?- thats why I bought this! lol
@t.h.o.r. here in the UK cutting corners means to save money or time when doing something by not including some parts, actions, or details so that the result is not as good as it could be. I was playing on words. 😆

ryobi its the bottom of the range cheapest of the cheapest they only supposed to work for a couple of jobs then you put in the bin throw away tools is realy all they are ,stick to dewalt or makita but then again they four times the price
I make a lot of my living thanks to poor Chinese machinery, but I still hold on to the German Metabo and my Jap Makita tools that have done decades of commercial service in the field in South Africa.
Some people think that Ryobi is well built, as a new owner of these tools, I’m learning that they are not. Planned obsolescence, if you use it very often they just won’t last very long. They sabotage the tools, there is a weak link with them. With the reciprocating saw, I looked this up to find out why the blade release didn’t work and found out that they don’t lubricate this tool internally, great information to have so the tool will last a little longer. If I’m on a job and the blade won’t release, that is beyond maddening.🤬😤🤦♂️🫤👎🤨 When I realize that it was designed this way, planned this way, it infuriates me. The stupidity and greed of this corporation is beyond words. Just when I was trying to quit swearing.

Thank you for the information. I have shared it with my son-in-law who has a lot of Ryobi tools.
I am quite the fan of the HD Milwaukee Sawzall with the Dewalt battery adapter. You can get battery adapters for everything these days.
Another issue is tools and appliances assembled with security screws (snake eyes) to deter the average person from fixing them.

Good information, I have quite a few Ryobi tools. I'm planning to check them all for lubrication next weekend.
I’ll be doing that as soon as I get home mate. Hi from Oz.

😁yes-owned by the same chinese company as Milwaukee Tools.
I make a lot of my living thanks to poor Chinese machinery, but I still hold on to the German Metabo and my Jap Makita tools that have done decades of commercial service in the field in South Africa.
All of the popular brands probably come from the same factory in DingDongDung China. The extra $200 for a “better” tool affords you a little grease.
No thanks. Mine is the same way, I will just throw it out and get a Hercules.
Shim….
did that- didnt you watch the video?
Ha ha ha Ryobi is junk. I have Milwaukee never an issue and much better made. Got news you could have ordered a shaft repair kit not the whole saw

If I’m on a job and the blade won’t release, that is beyond maddening.🤬😤🤦♂️🫤👎🤨
When I realize that it was designed this way, planned this way, it infuriates me. The stupidity and greed of this corporation is beyond words. Just when I was trying to quit swearing.
