I still don't understand why I see people hating on Ryobi cordless tools. I've been using them relatively frequently for nearly 15 years now with little issues.
Same here Bro, I've only had one ryobi tool give me a problem after at least 15 years of using a large platform of their 18v tools and table saws, getting ready to take advantage of home depots black Friday sale and grab the new brushless hammer drill and free tool combo, probably the brushless impact
agreed. Ive invested in Ryobi and Milwaukee. Both are great but Milwaukee doesn't even make an 18v inflator. Ryobi has 3 different ones. Just picked up the Ryobi brushless jigsaw bare tool for $64 brand new. Milwaukee wants $199....no thanks. Ryobi also makes better nail guns than Milwaukee any day of the week, and for considerably less coin too.
Because some people are very naive, gullible, easily manipulated and persuaded and ultimately brainwashed into thinking there is nothing comparable to Milwaukee, makita, dewalt etc....yea like this video says it all!! Ive got ryobi tools and i deem them to be faultless and exceptional quality. Spending more doesn't generally mean better!
This was exactly the review I needed to see. I’m going to be buying one! The use I need it for is for cutting chains from my tires when they break and get stuck in between the duels. Yes, it might be hard to get this in between there, but it will be a lot easier than using a pair with long handles, which is almost impossible. Thank you.
I love this tool, only had it for a couple of weeks, it took several trigger pulls(it will stop once it feels that its pretty tough but every time you squeeze the trigger will continue cinching up until its all the way thru) but it cut itl,I had to cut some automotive 3/8" hardened steel solid steel bar it took several trigger shots but it cut it, very violently mind you when the second part of link was cut, so use caution and safety gear,I had tried to cut this bar with my so called "Monster" 30" bolt cutter but it was impossible unless I blew my biceps so this thing totally saved me.
Tanner - fire departments around me Are carrying them mainly because they can use them for cutting locks on gates to get in to long driveway because most people have gates on theirs now and cutting hindges of doors
Hey Clint this is back at Home Depot after a hiatus. Lots of mixed reviews from 2-3 years ago. Any interest in getting your hands on a new one and sorting it out?
Those work much better than I thought they would. I was extremely surprised that they cut through the stainless steel lag bolt. I wonder how much replacement jaws would cost? I found it hard to believe that you couldn't adjust the jaws, so I looked at the instruction manual. ADJUSTING THE JAWS See Figure 4, page 8. With use, the jaws may develop a gap that could result in incomplete cuts and should be adjusted. WARNING: Never remove the jaw cover before making a jaw adjustment. Attempting to adjust the jaws without the cover installed can result in serious personal injury. Remove the battery pack and place the tool on a flat surface with the eccentric bolts facing up. Using a 13 mm wrench, hold the eccentric bolt. With a second 13 mm wrench, slightly loosen the lock nut on the other side. Turn the eccentric bolts to adjust the jaws until the gap is closed. Tighten the lock nut.
Not sure what the problem is. I just clicked on "read more" and it works for me. It's basically the instructions from the owner's manual explaining how to adjust the jaws.
Do you think it would be too much of a stretch for Ryobi or another company to make the jaws wider and a stronger force so that It can cut easily through 1 inch metals?
My local HD had these on clearance when I was there yesterday for $57, came home and watched your video to see how effective they were and you definitely sold me on them. Thanks! Has anyone had to replace the jaws yet? Wondering if they are universal to other brand blades or if they specifically have to be the ryobi ones.
Yeah, I bought one....and of course immediately went and cut some bolts and stuff to play with it and now my jaws are kinda chipped up too. Looking around it seems like the replacements are like $45. That's half the cost of the tool. So kinda bummed about that....
I wonder how much effort is needed when just using bolt cutters? Point being, why not just use bolt cutters? is it just the size issue, or easier cutting? Did do an excellent job!
Idk why but tools are like toys for me. I have tools I have never even used yet. And I've decided to jump into the ryobi line up and so far I own 6 tools in the line up and I can't complain about the quality and price. And this tools right here I do not need at all but I want it. 🤣🤣🤣
I would be curious if you can still thread a nut on that bolt. As someone who works with a lot of 3/8 threaded rod, I would be interested. Yes, I do know about all mechanical rod cutters.
@@ToolReviewZone Sure, thanks. If it works the first try, cut 10 to validate consistency. I think it will become slightly oval at the tip and not work, that's why a proper rod cutter has conforming jaws and faux threads to retain shape.
We have had two of these both of which haven't lasted 6 months just cutting seals off trailor doors update 5/16 the second pair is still going strong two years later must of just got a bad pair which Ryobi replaced cut about 100 container seals a day
Hello there from Montreal Canada 🇨🇦 did I enjoy yr video? Loved IT !! I do have a question I have 2 Ryobi 5.0 batteries 🔋 can or do I have to upgrade to 6.0 battery’s for more power? Plz do stay safe thank you for sharing 😃🍺👊🇨🇦
Ho Rob. Thanks for the comment!!! The HP batteries will add more power, but larger batteries help more to prevent sag if the tools. They will handle tougher jobs better
Ron, you can actually adjust the jaws. The steps are listed on page 6 of the manual. Never remove the jaw cover before making a jaw adjustment. Attempting to adjust the jaws without the cover installed can result in serious personal injury. Remove the battery pack and place the tool on a flat surface with the eccentric bolts facing up. Using a 13 mm wrench, hold the eccentric bolt. With a second 13 mm wrench, slightly loosen the lock nut on the other side. Turn the eccentric bolts to adjust the jaws until the gap is closed. Tighten the lock nut.
I need to do a bunch of 4ga cattle panel cutting should this do the trick? Any idea how many cut cycles you can get on a single charge? This would be my only Ryobi tool so I don't have bunch of batteries like I do for my DeWalt
ive just taken my 18inch jaws back manual onss i exploaded them thry cut through everything u cut here but i tried cutting a drill bit head wow the end of the cutters exploaded and there was a mark on the drill bit but it was not a dent or anything it was a bloody polish mark dont no ehat theee made from.but wow
@@chandaravitejatube Difficult. I see,the Chinese and the Indian Amazons don't have many bolt cutters let alone Ryobi. Move I guess? Sometimes you can order from an overseas Amazon
This is actually a great question and something I now wish I would have added to the review. If you are under an inch, I would think you should have no issue with it. I haven't personally tried it, but it should work
Man, I wish I had a good justification for this tool, it looks awesome! Could be a good thing to have when the zombie apocalypse hits...looks like I just found a justification!
Wow. I was going to say great for broke thieves, but I guess they would use manual ones. For tight spaces or repitive stuff this looks very good. It doesn't stall out and keeps going, not typical ryobi.
You should have cut at the shoulder of the stainless bolt where the metal was thick and then the threads you can cut easy through threads part of the metal is machined away due to threading. Not a admonishment to you I’d just would have like to see that.
Great now I have to find a more secure lock to keep criminals out they should require a background check to purchase this tool thanks ryobi for making it easier for thief to get in.

Thanks for sharing what this tool can do!
Its awesome ryobi! I will be removing the 16th gap peices as they can be adjusted
So is your comment Drew
I would love to buy this tool
Ryobi do you still make and sell these
@@All4Jesus87 check your Local Home Depot Stores. If not then try eBay and Amazon. Or check directly the Ryobi Tools website.

Yes, it might be hard to get this in between there, but it will be a lot easier than using a pair with long handles, which is almost impossible. Thank you.
I've never seen a cordless tool like this before. I think the idea is a good one. Making alot of repetitive cuts would make it worth while.
Absolutely David!

Ryobi is stepping up their game 👌👌
They sure are buddy
Now they just need to sell good pocket knives. If Dewalt and Milwaukee can do it, im sure Ryobi can do it better!
So does Ryobi want us to break into people's sheds with this tool? Lol
Not sure Carlos, but ima get me a new lawn tractor this week! Lol
a lock only keeps an honest person out
Can you tell me your address? I will buy this 😆
Yeah so you can steal some real tools lmao
I was thinking the same
wow...impressive..ryobi really stepped up their game since they made the blue tools
You should try Amkus 3.0 cutters next haha. It’s nice to see the things we use in the fire service made into much smaller versions for homeowner use!
Haha, would love to get my hands on one of those bad boys Tanner!
Tanner - fire departments around me Are carrying them mainly because they can use them for cutting locks on gates to get in to long driveway because most people have gates on theirs now and cutting hindges of doors
Zach Rollins exactly, very durable. We use them for hinges, doors, cars, and cutting through metal walls
I definitely need to add this to the Ryobi collection. Awesome video.
Try it on your arm tattoo
Thats the only chain it would not cut
Scrolled for this comment....lol.
I am Milwaukee guy, but this is really impressing! will Definitely buy.
Yeah it's a cool tool for sure Hashim
Milwaukee is made by same ppl who make ryobi
Ur gonna need a badaptor if ur tryna use a Milwaukee battery to a ryobi tool
Every bike thieves dream tool! This should be use on the finger of those thieves.
Hey Clint this is back at Home Depot after a hiatus. Lots of mixed reviews from 2-3 years ago. Any interest in getting your hands on a new one and sorting it out?
I try bro 👊
I can definitely see where it can cut (no pun intended) down on fatigue from use or the manual cutters
Haha, that pun was definitely intended bro! Yeah, absolutely would help with that buddy

Thanks.
Did you read my whole comment? It explains how to adjust the jaws.
Ohh man, I didn't see the read more. I must have missed it as I did not see that. Well done on seeing that. I will add it to the description!
Pro1er:
There is NO read more.....
Your comment was cut off after "so i looked at the instruction" .... then cut off and NO read more option :-(
Not sure what the problem is. I just clicked on "read more" and it works for me. It's basically the instructions from the owner's manual explaining how to adjust the jaws.
Nice demo cuz!!
Thanks bro, and loving you moving Icon!

Хороший обзор! Большое спасибо! Удачи и дома и на даче!)
When you cut through something did you do a "HIGH FIVE" each time with anybody
I did see how it took some time to cut that lag bolt.... but guess what.. IT DID and thats what counts... I will def get one of these.
My local HD had these on clearance when I was there yesterday for $57, came home and watched your video to see how effective they were and you definitely sold me on them. Thanks!
Has anyone had to replace the jaws yet? Wondering if they are universal to other brand blades or if they specifically have to be the ryobi ones.
Same here that's why I am watching this video.
Yeah, I bought one....and of course immediately went and cut some bolts and stuff to play with it and now my jaws are kinda chipped up too. Looking around it seems like the replacements are like $45. That's half the cost of the tool. So kinda bummed about that....
Does anyone know what Battery this takes? Does it use the same 18V Ryobi battery which the cordless drill uses? Whats the battery model number?
Yes it takes the same batteries. Cant Reed the model number, but I put the link for it in the description
An ultimate weapon for the porch pirates. Well done Ryobi!
How do you adjust the blades? Mine won’t close all the way anymore so they will not cut small things.
Great video. Thanks for posting!
Hi will it cut clean threaded bolt so you can put a nut on? Thank you for your review 👍
also cuts the 10mm case-hardened steel chain?
I wonder how much effort is needed when just using bolt cutters? Point being, why not just use bolt cutters? is it just the size issue, or easier cutting? Did do an excellent job!
I don't need these but I do
Yeah, I know just what you be Robert!

I was waiting on the smeeesh the like button! Apparently that’s more recent than this 2 year old video lol. Thanks for another great review!

Were they in heavy use. I’m looking for cutters for the same reason. Did you find other options, when they broke down ?
@@estebangomez7640 Ryobi replaced my cutters with one day shipping
How many tons of pressure?
What if you use it to cut another identical Ryobi cutter? I'm serious.
Wow, you blew my mind when it did the 1/2 stainless lag...Ryobi don't fuck around...

Yeah buddy, a lot of talk about these. Ryobi hooked us up!
The arch nemesis of "love padlock bridges"
Can it cut steel wire rope ?
What about 3/8" cable?
can this cut the seal on trailers?
Price and delivery???
I love ryobi tools, I have many of this brand so far no complaints.
Sorry for American locks 😅 👌👍
That was awesome they are extremely powerful
I was not expecting them to cut what they did. There was a crescent wrench that I actually tried it in, and it cut through it bro.
Tool Review Zone wow that is amazing
Have a roller rink with lockers, my wife is small and cant do the bolt cutters think this is a great fix. I too wish you could adjust the gap though
Yeah that would actually be an awesome application Ron. Man, I remember the days of the limbo!
Ron, you can actually adjust the jaws.

Did you end up using this tool to cut cattle panels? That’s what I need it for, too. Did it work well for you?
It faces right and has an adjustable claws as the front
nice video. btw, can the jaw be replaced?
Sure can SUN, and thanks for the comment
Price
for household or light use ryobi makes some well priced tools, but if you are any kind of construction or tradesman these tools just wont last
Feels pretty balanced. Little heavier in front.... without a battery in it.....
Im almost positive that the lag screw is zinc coated, not stainless.
Its one of those tools that nobody needs but would be neat to have to for a conversation peiece .
ive just taken my 18inch jaws back manual onss i exploaded them thry cut through everything u cut here but i tried cutting a drill bit head wow the end of the cutters exploaded and there was a mark on the drill bit but it was not a dent or anything it was a bloody polish mark dont no ehat theee made from.but wow
I'm guessing the wear on the cutting blades isn't covered by warranty.
There is such a thing for other tools?
How can I buy in India ? Please help me..
Amazon or the Chinese equivalent perhaps?

Would be good for fence
Should have tried #3 rebar. Alot of use there
isn't ryobi owned by Milwaukee or something like that...
Can it cut steel wire cable ?
This is actually a great question and something I now wish I would have added to the review. If you are under an inch, I would think you should have no issue with it. I haven't personally tried it, but it should work

Tell you what bro, I will try it and let you know if the work well. They should do fine, but now I'm just curious. I'll keep you posted

Could be a good thing to have when the zombie apocalypse hits...looks like I just found a justification!
Can never be to prepared eyell lol
LOL! Or too creative when trying to justify getting a new tool, lol.
I'm going to get one to cut my older, spring-filled, king size mattress into 2 twins. :-)
Those orange locks are so hard to cut with regular bolt cutters
Now I can do home invasions with ease thanks man.
Glad I could help
I'm guessing it can cut thro a u lock😇😇
will it go through bicycle D locks, asking for a friend :D
Lol
TNT BFC. Rated for 320,000 lbs cut force.
You found those in Home Depot? Wow!
BEAST MODE.......
I want that mug bro! Lol, we had a big discussion about it on the live shed video, its mine!
Only $99? That’s a good deal!
Yeah Kevin, they got some really awesome tools coming out, but keeping the price down. Hard to beat buddy
So ryobi is trying to help robers????
Nop
Are the jaws replaceable??
Sure are
What about cutting cable?
The signal goes out then. You mean like switch to dish?
When I first saw this I thought it was a pro press gun
That would be cool.
what's that intro music?
Hi James. Its Vince Neil sister of pain
Hey man not hating on your video but can u try and push it a bit harder like 16mm rebar or 20mm or bigger
Hey Josepth. It's real not meant for that as its marketed as a bolt/lock cutter. It probably would not work that well for long term use
Wow.
I was going to say great for broke thieves, but I guess they would use manual ones. For tight spaces or repitive stuff this looks very good.
It doesn't stall out and keeps going, not typical ryobi.
Golden chair on the dp? Lol with the tesla lynch cap? Lol
Ryobi fan boy I have a hard time believing Milwaukee didn’t even make a dent
All y’all who hate on ryobi eat them broken chains and locks and things. I mean ryobi out preformed like the “best” company ever Milwaukee
That's a cute toy!
Has anyone tried these on wire cables?
I was looking forward to this
Yeah bro, Ryobi sent them out way just for you all to take a look at first. Props to them
Gonna have to buy me one
You should have cut at the shoulder of the stainless bolt where the metal was thick and then the threads you can cut easy through threads part of the metal is machined away due to threading. Not a admonishment to you I’d just would have like to see that.
I'll try it an get back to you. Should not have an issue with it though
Thanks I appreciate that I think that tool is pretty handy
You got it powder
Those ryobi batteries look like you could find them at dollar general
Nick P sad that is was better then milwaukee?
You can't on this planet
Trz I new they where going to cut the lock that the Milwaukee bolt cutters feld on because the ryobi bolt cutters run on alien power
Lol, agreed Richard!
The only tool you ever need to buy. The rest you can steal with it :-)
Stealing is wrong
Everyone is hating on this tool most fire trucks have one on them
Mill-walkwho?
Lol, no more manual bolt cutting for me bro!
Great review. Great on your nails too. 😂
Haha, right!
Can I have one???
maybe i can steal some bikes w this machine
Or maybe you can make some and go into business
I'm going to get one too. I will use it to cut the fingers off of the guy that stole my things.
I am going to talk to my Italias friends about this one, might be good for fingers.
Great now I have to find a more secure lock to keep criminals out they should require a background check to purchase this tool thanks ryobi for making it easier for thief to get in.
Yea because criminals can spot betas like you from hundreds of miles away
