You went to the Ryobi (REE-Obi) plant and got corrected on camera by their PR woman like four times. Ryobi is a Japanese company. In Japanese the y is pronounced ee. The capital city in Japan is Tokyo, pronounced Tok-EE-o, not Tok-I-o.
@@tedmcdonald3377 Yes, I am aware that it's now TTI and made in China. But the name Ryobi is licensed from the Japanese firm. And nobody at either TTI or original Ryobi pronounces it R-I-obi. What he's doing would be like me deciding to pronounce your name Tod just because I feel like it.
Great comparison video. My hot take on SKIL is that for the money, they could easily compete with Ryobi if they had the same amount of offerings, and Lowes wasn't hampered by having to feature Craftsman so prominently. Den of Tools recently did a video and spread sheet detailing all the offerings each brand had to offer the DIY Homeowner. And as expected Ryobi pretty much was near the top in all categories except availability. If you didn't account for number of tool offerings, SKIL kept with Ryobi in all criteria except trust, and that's only because they are such a new line.
When they shove so much of it in our faces no one wants it. There was just a tiny endcap for skill 20v and another tiny endcap opposite it for Skil 12v. You could tell they sell fast to.. holes in the shelves
Both of them Ryobi and Skil are DIY and PRO! I'm a Carpenter, Deck Builder, Residential Home Framer and Builder, Electrician and Welder. I use the new Ryobi HP Brushless Hammer Drill PBLHM101B and the new HP Impact Driver PBLID02 in my Jobsite building decks, pergolas and arbor. I own some topnotch or high end DeWalt, Makita, High end Bosch tools and Hitachi. And I also now consider using Ryobi. And I'm abusing mine in the jobsite for 8 months straight now. While my cousin is using the same impact driver from Skil brand. Get this folks they will never be a Pro or a contractor tool because not much professional or trades People want to use Ryobi or Skil in the jobsite. For me there is no such thing as Contractor Grade tools. Tools will always be a tools. Regardless of brands. And I'm not loyal to any Brand. I carry 6 different brand tools in the jobsite and also been using it too at home. Believe it or not I'm also using Hercules brand Harbor Freight Tools too! I have money and I can purchase high end top notch tools. But nowadays I'm opting for a cheaper side. Because at the end my ultimate goal is to make more money but less spending on tools. And the more skilled you are the less tools you need.
The more skilled you are the less tools you need, i dont think so. A Skilled Tradesman needs the tools he or she needs to do the job effectively and efficiently. The less amount of tools owned has nothing to do with your skill. It has more to do with getting the job done, finished on time or sooner. And working smarter means using the necessary tools, the right amount to complete the job.
I'm a bit surprised that the Skil mostly won this. It seems to do better with heavy loads than the Ryobi, which IMO is more important than light loads that will get done very quickly with either. Chervon really seems to be going after TTI with all their lines, more than they do for SBD, Makita, or anyone else.
The Skil can currently be had for $79 in some Lowe's stores with 2 batteries and a charger, or $99 online. (Supposedly full price is $149 normally.) Ryobi is $99 bare tool or $159 with 2 batteries and charger. Skil is a great value!
Skil has had a lot of good deals this fall and winter. The only Skil I have was a drill one I won from a Philly fixed giveaway. Almost their entire line has been on sale at Lowes and they all seem good performers, even compared to those above their price range.
Ryobi was faster on 8" long timber lock screws. Both brands very close to each other in performance. Which is surprising, but Skil is still cheaper prices.😊
If we're including store specific brands, Chervon also has MasterForce which is the Menards top of the line store brand. (20v not 24v but they do have the "tool communicates with battery" feature in the MasterForce Boost sub-line) Also I feel like in the Skil 20v line you've got the brushed vs brushless. At least it's not like Milwaukee with brushed, brushless, and fuel brushless... Menards also carries the Skil 20v line. I've got the Skil 12v line (drill driver and impact driver) which is all brushless which is nice. I do wish they had more tools, could really go for a fan and a vacuum. Maybe next year, since that Ryobi fan was such a hot item this year...
I have the lower-tier Kobalt brushless impact driver and I just used it for some automotive stuff, suspension work. It's amazing for how little I paid for it! So no doubt Chervon can make a good mid-level impact, and it wouldn't surprise me if this tool and that one are very similar underneath.
I was going to comment on how well edited and informative this video was comparing tools of similar cost at competing companies and stores ....but the blasphemy at the end...... Blessed be the Barrel Grip!
Skil is nice, I have the 20 v but they have such a limited line of tools. With all the deals on the other top lines, you will be happier not dropping too much money in the platform . I appreciate the vids you post
@@PhillyFixed Absolutely. I didn't even like Ryobi very much , but once you have a battery all of a sudden I have fans , glue guns , caulking guns , all kinds of goofy stuff you don't think you are going to end up with.
I've actually been using a 1/2" impact wrench with a milwaukee quick-release attachment for screwdriving for a few months just to keep the tool from collecting dust. I don't really mind either and kind of just relate the use of it to the difference between that little 6" santoku knife you get a a grocery store vs cooking with a cleaver. I grew up using cleavers and don't actually mind the extra weight of an impact wrench xD Honestly we're so far into the post-future of powertools that pretty much anything that's similarly sized have such identical performance that you can pretty much just use whatever color you like
Great video! I normally buy Milwaukee, Dewalt or Makita but I just bought the Ryobi One+ 18 ga brad gun. It's been great nail gun and we love using it! We use it alongside the Dewalt 18 ga brad gun, the Dewalt has more diving force in hardwoods but the Ryobi is excellent at work that requires precision. Both are great brad guns. Thank you for your Videos!
Great comparison video! Team D handle all the way! Also for the price of barrel grips on most platforms, I'll just stick to my 9 inch craftsman bandsaw! With the right blade and tension. It will cut almost everything I put in front of it!
I can see Ryobi and Ridgid swapping places in the near future. TTI seems to be pouring all the R&D into Ryobi instead of Ridgid which makes sense since they don't own Ridgid (Emerson Electric does) like they do Ryobi and Milwaukee. That Ridgid lawsuit against Milwaukee is going to come back and bite them. Super exited to see how powerful Ryobi Gen 2 HP tools will be! Also that SKIL is pretty darn good!
I haven't moved away from M18 tools for another brand... yet. My 12V tools, however, have turned yellow and a different shade of red (Skil Pwrcore12). My DeWalt 12V drill beat the M12 Fuel hammer drill, and my Skil 12V keeps up with my DeWalt(!). I don't expect the Pwrcore20 to keep up with Milwaukee and DeWalt, but their 12V line is definitely worth reviewing.
Nice job, short and sweet. I think which one to pick is less about performance on these, and more about which battery platform you want to invest in. I wouldn't hesitate to give the Skil tools to a non-"tool guy", non-DIY type, new homeowner. The reason being, the limited tool options. For anyone else, I would stick to Ryobi due to the many cool tools they offer. With this said, Ryobi seems to be creeping up in price more lately. 😡
Great comparison! I am looking at those two brands. I think for uses the Skil PwrCore 12v would be fine for the average DIYer (and it did get excellent reviews), but I would opt for the PwrCore 20v Heavy Duty Hammer Drill to have the power when I needed it if I went to the Skil brand (Lowes currently has the PwrCore 12 5 tool set, 2 2ah batteries and charger for $99! (Note: is is not the rapid charger or the batteries with the USB ports). BTW: Below Ryobi in the TTI line is Hart sold only at Walmart, which I would say is equivalent to Black and Decker).
If you are going to get 2 voltage ranges, get SKIL 12V and Kobalt 24V. SKIL 20V are in every case just the Kobalt tools in a lower voltage, with fewer options. If you can be completely confident you'll never need anything outside the line and it's meaningfully cheaper to get the SKIL instead, then by all means.
@@orijimi It’s more about the range of tools at at reasonable which is why Ryobi is also a top choice as they also have a huge garden tool line which I think Kobalt doesn’t as much. I’ve been using my Black and Decker Matrix system for like 8 years and the batteries still charge (but don’t last as long as they once did). DeWalt is also high on my list as they are finally upgrading both their 12v and 20v lines and have a dual charger, which Skil does not as of yet. (It is also nice DeWalt can be had at both Lowe’s and HD.) Kobalt and especially the XTR tools are very good but I think Lowe’s and Chervon have just seemed to forgotten about them with not anything new or innovative.
@@orijimi That’s probably true but, at least at my Lowe’s they just don’t seem to promote them much in the way of new displays. It’s all about Flex and Dewalt and even Craftsman.
Both a blessing and a curse. Some people trust in Ryobi more than other brands because of this battery design that has been available forever while at the same time the design is cumbersome and takes a lot of space on some tools like an oscillating multi tool
Would like to see this test done with a last gen HP battery. Ryobi switched to cheap Chinese cells while the older ones use Samsung/Sony like every other power tool battery. Also who pays full retail? You can find Ryobi much cheaper then Skil. I got that Ryobi impact you're using for $50 on Ebay.
Yeah, I prefer the discontinued 3aH P195 with 21700 cells, I wish they had kept making it. And as far as prices, agreed - but store price is the best apples-to-apples and lots of people do walk into a store and pay sticker price. They need to watch more TH-cam! 😅
You can buy the Skil kit at Lowes and get a free additional battery for $99. Skil Impact kit with 2 batteries for 99 is actually less expensive than current Ryobi tool deal.
I remember getting a Skil brushed 2 tool kit with 1 battery on Ebay for $52 earlier this year. Actually you can get great deals on Skil, Ryobi and Metabo HPT but you won't get a warranty unless specified by the seller. You're better off by stating the MSRP from an official retailer
Except in Japanese the "y" doesn't really have a vowel role. "Ry" combination is one of the few Japanese pronunciations that is legit difficult or impossible for English speakers. Pronouncing it like "ee" is definitely the closer option.
I'm sorry but we bought two Ryobi drills years ago and we used them 5 or 6 each month maybe but their batteries where never left on the charger after they were done charging or killed completely and the batteries gave out in a 1 1/2 years but are Milwaukee's are 5 years old and fine but one of the tools brushed are about to need replacement. I've never owned a brushless drill and I want to buy one really bad.
My brother in law also had ryobi battery’s die within a year or so after buying. We have some 20v dewalt battery’s that have never had an issue and there 7-9 years old. So old I can’t really remember when we got them.
Yeah but those where the shit batteries from a decade ago, old ass garbage doesn't compare to new brushless tools. Everyone agrees old ryobi belongs in the dumpster
Skil has got a better warranty than Ryobi and it's more available as you can find them on Lowe's, Amazon, Menards and Ace. Ryobi is only available on HD and if you get it on any other non-official retailer (like Ebay) it'd likely won't come with warranty. Also, it's little known but Ryobi batteries have a manufacturing defect where they brick after extended periods of non use. It's happened to me with both old design batteries and brand new HP high performance batteries. You can jump start them but they need to be popped open to do so
Are you using the spider auger bits, I’ve heard mixed reviews on a lot of the spider products. Just wondering what your thoughts on them are, as well as if you’ve tried some of their other bits and blades
Spyder bits are fine, nothing special. I haven't used the USA-made twist bits that are blue and purple, though - I want to try them out. Circ saw blades are excellent, I used one for the first time recently and might prefer it to Diablo...
So it's Ryobi as in R with a "E" instead of Ryobi as in R with a "Y" I'm an too southern to try to figure this out... I say most things wrong anyway..🤣 Great video Jim, they both look real nice!
Feels great , impact driver.most problem 's are too noisy 's. Need to , have drills tools, with ...both are super ...( Drills tools are for carpenter 's , diy's home tools ...
I Love Friendly Feud you 2 guys have, and now I know where and how it all started.! Thank You for making this comparison video 'cause I been looking for videos like it. It's my personal opinion that SKIL is truly at the top of the diy segment. 'RIOBI', not 'REOBI' continues to produce tools that are brushed, and underpowered to complete in the segment, but because of battery-compatibility-thing (which is truly a fantastic idea.!) they're still able to sell trinkets that cost mear pennies to produce and get to market for sale to the masses.😡 Not that 'REOBI', not 'RIOBI' doesn't offer brushless tools that are more powerful than the previous generation, and now are selling them under the ONE+ banner, not to be confused with previous '10yr old', but still available for purchase 'new' in some areas, especially during Christmas and other 'Special-Holiday-Sales'.
You definitely put them through some hard testing things we couldn't experience heat smell you didn't describe either one and perhaps in the future you can run them to failure 💥💥🍔🍻🐿️🎃
Serious pro's don't use Rhy-obee. They seem to be a favourite of TH-camrs tho? I did once have a crappy old Skil rip-saw for taking floorboards up with and it was a handy little tool but I don't know what modern Skil tools are like.
You made little mistake, TTI has: Milwaukee - High level, AEG - a bit lower level(in US you calling that Ridgid, but same tools are mostly design as AEG brand for rest world, and Ridgid is a brand of Emerson company, TTI use this name for Power Tools), Ryobi as high DIY(semi-pro tools)
@@PhillyFixed Yes, except TTI doesn't own Ridgid Brand;) in US you have more "names" issues, Like Metabo HPT - Rest world has Hikoki(old Hitachi) We Have metabo and hikoki;))
I seriously don't understand the new upper Ryobi stuff. I can't think of any world where I'd suggest a new user a high end ryobi product over a low end milwaukee or Dewalt product.
Ryobi has again increased prices here and it will be the same all over Europe, even if prices was already too high. Ryobi can be an option in USA but in Europe the price is so near the top brands that you get far less for your money. 5ah batteries is now 40-50% higher for Ryobi than Makita LXT, thats right, the cheap brand cost a lot more. Ryobi Rip-off Wan Kenobi.
As I expected, 'RAOBI' is so concerned about protecting the tools and the batteries, while still in truth likely using slightly inferior in some way or some how, tools that 'yes', can do the job, but if you bring them to the job site, don't make any beer bets you're not ready to pay for...😂😢.

Great editing and good info!
My takeaway is... use a impact wrench to drive big lags. I'm not waiting a whole minute for either tool.
Ryh - oh - bee HP line definitely competes with Kobalt brushless XTR level because of pricing. XTR which is considered 2 levels higher than Skil.
Looks like the Skil is somewhat smaller and more compact too. Not knocking Ree-obi, just pointing out something the video overlooked.

So it's Ryobi as in R with a "E" instead of Ryobi as in R with a "Y"
I'm an too southern to try to figure this out...
I say most things wrong anyway..🤣
Great video Jim, they both look real nice!
my skil impact snapped my boss' shockwave bits so I know it's skrong a f but I wanna see what you find out!
Hey Jim where are ya? Why haven't you rolled out new material for the last while?
Busy with the new baby and some house projects - lots to come in February though!
@@PhillyFixed Oh. Congratulations, or as we say "Mazel tov!"
Skil multi tool is super nice too and this is coming from a guy who loves milwaukee tools
Feels great , impact driver.most problem 's are too noisy 's. Need to , have drills tools, with ...both are super ...( Drills tools are for carpenter 's , diy's home tools ...
Skilsaw all the way when it comes to saws.
Their table, mitre, and circ saws are by far the best on the market.
I Love Friendly Feud you 2 guys have, and now I know where and how it all started.!
Thank You for making this comparison video 'cause I been looking for videos like it.
It's my personal opinion that SKIL is truly at the top of the diy segment.
'RIOBI', not 'REOBI' continues to produce tools that are brushed, and underpowered to complete in the segment, but because of battery-compatibility-thing (which is truly a fantastic idea.!) they're still able to sell trinkets that cost mear pennies to produce and get to market for sale to the masses.😡 Not that 'REOBI', not 'RIOBI' doesn't offer brushless tools that are more powerful than the previous generation, and now are selling them under the ONE+ banner, not to be confused with previous '10yr old', but still available for purchase 'new' in some areas, especially during Christmas and other 'Special-Holiday-Sales'.
Can you try to get the craftsman cmcf820 with a 4AH battery vs the ryobi 4 mode
Yup!
You definitely put them through some hard testing things we couldn't experience heat smell you didn't describe either one and perhaps in the future you can run them to failure 💥💥🍔🍻🐿️🎃
I'd argue Skil is even better than Kobalt, seems like they dropped the ball with Kobalt, But Skil has a whole line of awesome tools.
D handle for life am with you
Every HP Ryobi tool should have the extra two tabs for the HP batteries for extra boost
You would think so!
It's impossible to "cope" with life when your a "D " handle guy
U need to always "barrel" through life as I always say
🤣 Dad joke level: 1000
Chervon acting like Milwaukee slept with their wife 🤣
Serious pro's don't use Rhy-obee. They seem to be a favourite of TH-camrs tho? I did once have a crappy old Skil rip-saw for taking floorboards up with and it was a handy little tool but I don't know what modern Skil tools are like.
I go to pawn shops looking for good deals. Always a LOT of ryobi for sale.
RYE-O-BEE always and forever.
Roux-Yebby
Ruh-Obi.
.. Kyocera 🤫
Hey damnit. 😕I want a barrel grip jig saw so I play with the rest of the cool kids. 😉
Why D handle for life?

Oh it is sarcasm. Thank you for elaborating. It went over my head
You made little mistake, TTI has: Milwaukee - High level, AEG - a bit lower level(in US you calling that Ridgid, but same tools are mostly design as AEG brand for rest world, and Ridgid is a brand of Emerson company, TTI use this name for Power Tools), Ryobi as high DIY(semi-pro tools)
Other than mentioning AEG, I think we both said the same thing...
@@PhillyFixed Yes, except TTI doesn't own Ridgid Brand;) in US you have more "names" issues, Like Metabo HPT - Rest world has Hikoki(old Hitachi) We Have metabo and hikoki;))
Ive heard that it is actually Rhee O bee.. not rye o bee.
Thank God I have a makita td172 with the funny ching ching writing on it.
😎🛠️😎🛠️😎 don't know how I missed this one PHIL 😂😂😂
TH-cam hates me and doesn't notify people that clicked the bell 😩
@@PhillyFixed maybe I need to unsubscribe and resubscribe sometimes that works.
Yes I'd like a glass of reee whiskey... no lol rye whiskey, and RY obi tools. Nice video tho man! God bless you as well
My boss use 2 by nothing only Ryobi when I plumbing
DIY VS DIY
D-Handle Al the way
I always pronounce it as Skells and Ryanoby.
I seriously don't understand the new upper Ryobi stuff. I can't think of any world where I'd suggest a new user a high end ryobi product over a low end milwaukee or Dewalt product.
Agree, DeWalt Atomic would be the better choice!
I've used brushed milwaukee, fuel and atomic and have no plans to jump to a 3rd or 4th platform. Too much to keep up with
Ryobi has again increased prices here and it will be the same all over Europe, even if prices was already too high. Ryobi can be an option in USA but in Europe the price is so near the top brands that you get far less for your money. 5ah batteries is now 40-50% higher for Ryobi than Makita LXT, thats right, the cheap brand cost a lot more. Ryobi Rip-off Wan Kenobi.
Wow, no reason to buy Ryobi at those prices!
But Ryobi increase quality too, Makita decreased.. yes they are too expensive....but Ryobi invest some money in "Made in USA" - that is cost.
Rye Ohh Bee for me please. Wait a minute.... What channel is this? What was I talking about???
Yeah I pronounce it Ryobi as well.
Go Birds!
being that it is in fact a japanese born brand, Philly got it right
In this episode of Trash Tool Thursday
😅
Correct. It is ree-oh-be. Just like ryu is ree-yoo and not rye-you like how a lot of people pronounce
*Ry-obi*
Test some CAT power tools
They're super expensive, hopefully the price drops!
Skil all the way
What is a subscriber? 🤔
An emotional person who feel bonded to a youtuber, often also want the youtuber to father his children.
As I expected, 'RAOBI' is so concerned about protecting the tools and the batteries, while still in truth likely using slightly inferior in some way or some how, tools that 'yes', can do the job, but if you bring them to the job site, don't make any beer bets you're not ready to pay for...😂😢.
Clint is right
They are considered Prosumer, and not DIY.
i like the way asked subscriber or not
🙏 I love my PWRcore 20 tools man they work they eat they slay all day baby
American, just like Nike vs Nikeeeeeee 🙂
rye bread ryobi
If the Y is ee then the I is what? eye? Reeeee-o-bye
😅
Sub because D handle rules
Skil copy Makita model
tools don't make the pro.
If you ever considered ryobi to be at a professional level... gag
Nope!
It's ALLU MINI UM! not AL LUM'NUM
I live in America, we say al-u-min-um. You guys have an extra "i" in there.
@@PhillyFixed I know, I was just playing with you😏 forgive me😅
