I had to watch ot four times to catch the phrase, "handy as a shirt pocket". Pretty good. Still have no ideal how you did it, but i can barely figure out how to use a cell phone. Lol. Love your posts. God bless you brother.
@731woodworks I just now watch this video since I text you yesterday about the Ryobi blue table saw. 😊❤ and that light would be really nice for me Being disabled in a house and the lights go out during the storm.

Ryobi is really killing it lately. They're just trying all kinds of things and making stuff regular people can buy. Like those lights, tons of commercial versions exist, but they're very expensive. Ryobi is truly making a 1 battery platform. I don't know if any other brand offers as many things on the same battery.
DeWalt and Milwaukee are up there but Ryobi has em covered I just wish they weren't labelled as diy because for me in Aus means if they see me in my tradie workwear they ask questions and I don't get the warranty cause I'm using it commercially only reason I don't buy em
@@livinaftermidnight9651No shade on Milwaukee but my tools don't make me money. Totally happy with Ryobi for DIY. The money I save shopping Home Depot and Direct Tool Outlet sales mean that I can afford a lot of specialty tools that I would never even think about buying from Milwaukee or other more expensive brands. Never had a Ryobi tool fail on me or fail to do the job that I asked it to do.
I've had a large number of Makita LXT 18V tools for years, and have a ton of batteries for them. I have a few Ryobi tools, but never used them much because I couldn't bring myself to buy more expensive batteries when I have all the Makita ones. I recently picked up a simple adapter to snap my Makita batteries onto Ryobi tools, and now I use the Ryobi tools all the time.
I've used Ryobi for years and have no complaints, good quality for the price. I like to comment on one thing though, why is hard to remove batteries from the charges. I find myself using both my hands and sometimes struggling to do it.
all of my expensive tools got stolen out of my work van,(bastards) have slowly been replacing them with more affordable ryobi tools, have not been letdown yet and actually I am impressed with the quality..
I have Dewalt tools, they are really great and expensive, but no brand makes such a wide range of tools as Ryobi. I bought my first Ryobi tool yesterday, and I am really impressed, I don't know why people don't trust them, everything looks perfect...
I just bought my first router and it is the ryobi PCL424B Trim Router. It is the brushed model which I am ok with even if brushless is nicer but only need it to round off edges. I also bought my first router bit after a ton of research. Wanted something that would last so I got one of the round over bits from woodpecker tools along with one of those fancy 24 inch edge rules. The Ryobi Router is a little top heavy but it is not bad. It is a nice router with the variable speed and comes with the dust collection port attachment. My buddy gave me a routing table years ago that is just sitting in my garage. He was getting rid of stuff after he had a nasty divorce from his wife. I been helping him out with storage, he is a real good battle buddy of mine from the Army. So I have one at the ready. I have a pretty huge shop outback that could easily fit 4 vehicles in it. So I cleared out a front area that I don’t use so he could store his stuff until he can get a new place. It is gonna take some time because of the housing market being unaffordable right now
It's a solid tool. I run Makita & work alongside alot of Milwaukee & Dewalt, but myself & guys at work all have Ryobi stuff too for various needs and they consistently pleasantly surprise us. I've used that router alot, primarily for round overs & it's served well. Also the cheap Ryobi router bit kits are very solid for the price too. You can trim alot of pine/MDF e.t.c... with them & have many sizes for a fraction of the cost. Unless you're doing high production in a shop and/or working exclusively with very hard hardwoods (hickory, rock maple e.t.c...) I have found the cheaper router bits work very well.
The Home Depot where I live has a Ryobi rep in the store all day long. He walks around the Ryobi displays all day answering questions. Never tried them but I will give them a shot soon.
I've been using Ryobi tools for years and they've been great for the price. However, I've noticed that the plastic parts can be a bit fragile. I've learned to be careful and avoid dropping them, but it's something to keep in mind. While they're good for occasional DIY projects, I'm considering upgrading to a more durable brand for heavier-duty tasks.
Appreciate the videos and your honesty. You ask questions or try things that I would, if I were reviewing or testinf the products. One point I'm not sure if anyone noticed or pointed out when you referred to the 40V 6Ah battery as a 60V. I love my Ryobi tools, some are still working since bought them in 2011/2012, inclduing the original 1/2" drill as part of the combo startee pack and a 40V lawn mower. Cheers.
I am a DeWalt, primarily for power hungry/torque needed applications. But there is an equal amount of green under my workbench. Ryobi is a great fit for budget and offering. Hands down the best. However one thing is missing from all these tools... Ever run out of beans on a battery and you needed a minute or two to finish a job? How about a means to plug into an AC wall outlet and have an end to moderately power a battery tool to get out out of a pinch???
I bought my first Ryobi cordless with 16ga nailer, loved it so much bought the 18ga one soon after. Been using for years trouble free next tool was their led work light (different than this one) but reason i got was ability to plug in a fantastic tool. Next was their 7 1/4” circ saw so i can cut down plywood at store to fit in my SUV…I’m on fence with this because it shuts off too many times due to the safety feature but does all that i want. Last tool was the hedge trimmer absolute wonderful tool, really powerful and the hedge sweep works great.
For handyman tools I dont think then can be beaten for quality and price. I have started to transition to DeWalt for just a few items that the Ryobi items simply cant come close to, but for everyday tools I'll stick with the Ryobi
People make fun of Ryobi but let me say that in the late 80's I bought their chop saw and it still works fine. I trimmed entire houses with that thing (before slide miters came out).
Cool stuff! I'd probably use the radio to either listen to NPR or the ball game. It makes sense that they don't let 18 volt devices run off of 40 volt or AC mains power using the lamp tripod. It's entirely possible that a lot of the 18 volt tools would draw enough power to burn wires.
I love that you bring such interesting tools to consider. I am not sure I would need or use most of them, but once in a while I see on that makes me go WOW!!! Thanks!
Ryobi is always making new products which is very cool , the other well known brands do pretty well too , but id give ryobi the edge ( rightly or wrongly ) for just pumping out new devices all the time , walking into our local big hardware shop im like a kid in a candy shop :) .
I have been using cordless power tools for over 50 years. I was a rancher when Skil first came out with their cordless drill. I can’t remember how much it was but prob in the mid $40 range. It was almost worthless! If I was just going to drill some small holes in wood it was fine. The problem was I bought it to drill holes in large fence posts to mount hardware. Complete waste of money! Then Marita drills and they were useful. Over the years I have purchased and used every brand of battery powered tool. When I discovered Ryobi I was very impressed. They worked well and were about half the price of the competition. I own most of the entire One Plus line and I couldn’t be happier. Every time they offer something new I typically buy it. Granted I don’t need the pile of different drills that I have but I always know where some of them are. I will buy the tools and the sound system as well that you demonstrated. The work light looks like it will be one of my favorites..
I can repeat your story completely! I forgot about those old Skil screwdrivers. Prehistoric…LOL. YES, I’ve picked up Ryobi drivers here and there for $30 or so and have one all over my property. They do the job!
Great video! DIY I'm almost all Ryobi. I have a few Milwaukee tools I bought for specific jobs but otherwise I've got a lot o Ryobi 18v. There seems to be a 4th router in this lineup, I have what could only be described as a hybrid between your "New" and "Newest" routers. It is the pcl-424. It has the improved base, removed logo on the handle. It does not have the steel band around the collar and it doesn't say either Brushless or HP on it. Just saying. Cheers!
I’ve been waiting on that boombox, but can’t afford it right now. But I’m really impressed with that light stand, I was going to get it before, but I didn’t know about the removable head and now it’s definitely a must have! Thank you for the awesome review.
I have many Ryobi brushless tools, from drills, standard and right angle, their codrless ratchet and impact, skill saw, jig saw, grease gun and many more. I think I have about every tool they have in my tool box on my truck. Never had an issue with any of them. Great stuff and affordable unlike Milwaukee cordless tools.
Yes, was thinking at first it was a laser... More versatile though - we all need a fixed drill at 7ft! Or maybe put that boombox up there for a better disco-experience. Anyway, laser perhaps later on?
The best Ryobi tool I have ever purchased was the 4 stroke weed eater. I have it had for at least 5 years and never had any issues. Not having to worry about mixing fuel for it is great and it will start on either the second or third pull every time.
I bought a bunch of power tools because of Matt and saved a lot of money. I love the Ryobi router and it is my go-to for a quick trim finish. I can say for the price it is a go-to tool and a great job without the cost
I like my Ryobi tools. Use them almost daily for repairs around the new (used) home and in my shop for automotive repairs and all of my woodworking. I did have to go with a Ridgid table saw as all the Ryobi ones are just too light duty for my needs.
Ryobi must have competitions for their designers to see who can come up with the wildest ideas for their One+ family. I started with Ryobi cordless tools in the 90's when they came out with the Tim Allen special 12v drill that came with the tool bag, too. The drill kept on working and it was only the batteries that gave up - NiCad's were the best cheap ones of the day, but they couldn't hack it. Eventually, the soft grip stuff on the handle started to get the mange, after about 20 years. The One+ tools got me to stay with Ryobi and they've never let me down.
I have a bunch of the 18V batteries including some that I bought in 2011. I also have a number of the old dark blue tools. All are still working well. I’ve had a number of more expensive tools ( other brands) fail in this time.
Looking forward to the new brushless router. Currently using the P601 palm router. I like that even though you promote higher end tools like Festool and Woodpecker, you also review lower end tools like Ryobi which are more affordable to us hobbyists woodworkers.
Ryobi is great. I run Makita as well & have worked with and around tons of Milwaukee & Dewalt. There's some duds, but also some studs. Lumen for dollar, their lighting can't be beat. Also really like their Fans, vaccuums & trim guns are great too. They're often much better than they get credit for.
Kobalt and skil are also starting to work their way into the accessory tool market, which is nice. Skil having usb ports on all their batteries is helping their case, as you don't need to buy a usb adapter to stick on your battery, you just use the one on it like a power brick
Same here, I have the one+ mower that uses 2 batteries, has been working great for years. Even the very first one+ drill I bought about 10 years ago is still going just fine. The HP tools are definitely better though.
@@AusExplorer That something works great 'for years' is not an achievement though. I have a 4 stroke simple lawn mower from Viking which is going strong for about 20 years now. Only filled up oil and switched spark plugs. At least 10 years with trouble free use before I start to consider it a good mower. My simple 12v drills from Metabo are now 15 years old and only now I can notice the batteries are starting to go down.
I have the "new" trim router and its great, but battery life is an issue, so the brushless version would be a great addition to the range, but I am really hoping the tripod light comes out for the 240V market as that would be a definite buy for me, as I love my torches/light stands.
Went to look at the product, but as I suspected it is not available yet. I figure they will go on the shelves around Thanksgiving or a little sooner in preparation Santa. Thanks so much for sharing
The only Ryobi tool I've used is the pole saw, and I don't have anything bad to say about it. I believe the rest of their tools are made with the same quality. At least I don't know why they wouldn't be. They may not be professional quality, but I'm not either. Thank you for your review, Matt. You nailed it! 😀😀😀😀❤❤❤❤
I just bought the M12 tower light for $150. I think I'm going to return it and wait for the Ryobi to go on sale. The fact that you can remove the head and use it portably is awesome. Also much higher lumens than the M12 and M18 and Ryobi's batteries are so much cheaper.
You can regularly find the 7.5ah 40v on dto for around 160, that's the equivalent of a 15ah flexvolt in terms of wh capacity, if you need that light to run full brightness on battery, that 7.5 would likely last all day. They do offer an 8ah and 12ah for the 40v, but those are too new and use 21700s so they are much more expensive
731 Woodworks.. Nice Ryobi tools. I have several Ryobi tools and so far I love them. I know a lot of people hate on them but they just work. Are there better tools than Ryobi out there? Maybe but that's true with every brand. No one tool brand is the best at everything. I don't have any of the tools in this video...Yet!! But I'm sure I will. LOL
Some people have more money than brains! If you are contractor or use tools in an industrial setting, then buy red. If you’re just a regular knucklehead like me, Ryobi works just fine!
I use Milwaukee power tools, had a big job needing Brad nailer, I didn’t want to buy a Milwaukee one because I knew I’d never use it again so bought Ryobi Man it was very impressive 😉
Ryobi is really coming up with new tools and accessories. That router looks good. I guess they could not really put a door on the radio for the battery port most likely because of the dual power source. Those batteries look pretty interesting though 👍🏻 great informative videos Bud 👊🏻
I love that the light can use so many different power sources! I do wonder if the amount of light put out varies from one source to another though. Did you happen to check that? Not sue if I just missed it or if it wasn't covered
Riobi was the tool you'd take to a job site where you knew they'd be stolen or ruined. They seem to be working at improving. Dewalt went through a similar set of changes. LEDs use way less power than the power tools those LEDs probably run on some where between 5 and 12 volts so there is a circuit that reduces the voltage, probably using resisters that's what I use when I build a LED circuit.
Mabel a cord option for the pressure washer would be a good upgrade. Maybe you can provide feed back to them about that to help battery consumption when you have an option to plug it in.
Bauer brushless router is exactly same as ryobi I just bought it Friday same dust collection paid 29.99 from Harbor freight and works so well and has speed adjustment and all same pieces as ryobi and works so well
I bought my first Ryobi when I needed a cheap cordless drill in a hurry. I got the 3/4" drill form a pawn shop. I quickly discovered that none of my batteries or chargers were compatable so made a choice. It was more of a coin flip and Ryobi won. So, now I own Ryobi because my other cordless gear takes the Ryobi battery.
That drill on the light thing rocks! I'm getting one to screw my cabinets together on site just to make my builder laugh if nothing else 😂 Well, either laugh or I just don't get called to quote the next job. 😂😂
Gotta say that I wondered about the drill on the tower as well. "But we're dudes, it's cool, we like more power" - absolutely!😄 As it turns out, I have a 40 V Ryobi lawnmower, so I'm really thinking about the tower light. One of your more fun reviews!
You’re right about the 40v weed eater. So glad I went with it versus gas. Grab it and go. The only thing I don’t care for is the small amout if trim string that goes on the spool and that it doesn’t auto feed. Not a deal breaker but it would be nice to have. Keep on creating sir!
I mean the bump feed isn't exactly rocket science. I don't even have the dedicated string trimmer, Mines the expand it so it uses a regular gas trimmer head and a shaft
I’m getting into Ryobi big time and your videos are incredibly valuable to me. I just subscribed to your channel and liking all your videos. Thank you 🙏
All my cordless tools are Ryobi. I am traveling the US full time in my Class B motorhome and have about six 18 volt Ryobi tools with me. I have always been very pleased with them.
One thing I did to the Ryobi clamp speaker, pull the pin on the clamp and replace it with two short trim screws. The pin can drift out on it's own and the clamp gets out of wack. With this modification it will stay secure.
Ryobi is probably the best platform for DYI and hobbyist due to their cost and vast amount of tools and accessories. Their brushless drills and impacts are very good. Their miter saws, corded and cordless, seem a bit cheap; but they are light in weight making them handy to store or transport. Supposedly, they will be coming out with a bunch of 80 volt items. I imagine that line would be for the tools that require a lot of power.
the circuitry to allow an 18v system to run off 40v or whatever v u want is very simple and fully integrated into some newer tools. competitors already have flexvolt options that allow you to use all their current tools off all their current batteries. i can only assume that some of those tools are older and hence dont have the circuitry. but then i didnt see which router you tried.
You guys can love Ryobi all you want. I've had 6 different brand new Ryobi batteries on various tools over the years, and not a single one of them lasted more than 2 years, some died in less than 2 uses not joking... They're garbage. Yet I have a dewalt drill i bought in 2010, and it still runs like new and the two batteries that came with work like new.
Hey, Mr 731. I just bought some plans from you, along with some board butter and a t shirt. I'm just getting into woodworking and was wondering if you have or could make a video on wood finishes. There are so many options out there it's impossible to figure out. Thanks
Im an unapologetic ryobi fan to be sure! The variety of tools in their line up is unmatched and their commitment to their customer base is second to none. I have the opportunity to often use the red brand and the yellow brand and with few exceptions Ryobi is quite comparable and the price is on point to be sure! My only issue is here in western Canada I have to travel quite a distance in order to hit a Home Depot in order to get my fix!
Re: 1200 PSI 1.0 GPM Cordless Electric Cold Water Pressure Washer, does the pump shut off when the wand trigger is released or does the pump continue to run against a closed water valve? (Pumps that run against a closed wand valve overheat and burn out.)
I wouldn't buy a Ryobi for heavy duty work, but I have their One+ buffer, air pump and 3 gallon vacuum. Good medium duty stuff with interchangeable batteries.
Also, I've been wondering if the stand would automatically halve the 40V power to run the 18V tools. Thank you for testing! At least you've confirmed we can attach an impact wrench to reach those really high stuck bolts!
I wish these manufacturers would allow these devices to charge batteries also. If you can run something off battery or 120v it seems like it would be simple to allow the battery to be charged while the device is plugged in.
Ryobi is stepping up and it's good to see as some brands are goin backwards it seems, I'm on DeWalt platform or I would consider Ryobi, got their 18G trim nailer and it's all good...
Another one to check out if you want a good nailer would be metabo hpt. They're a good complementary brand to pick up, I got their 36v recip saw and it makes corded ones look like toys.
Something I have yet to see offered (I might have missed it, though) is a mains "HP" power adaptor that plugs straight into the tool, replacing the battery. Some may think this is contrary to the whole "battery" philosphy, BUT I'm thinking specifically of work-stations/work benches, etc, that are close to 110/220 VAC (depending on location) - the "power unit" could be switched between the "battery" tools in the same way a battery would, BUT there would be no hassle with batteries running flat and finding charged ones, nor keeping them charged AND for the power hungry tools, well, even better! You'd have the continuous use advantage of a wired tool and the portability and independence of a battery tool with just ONE outlay, rather than having to duplicate some tools.
Farm Home supply in Quincy is having a Dewalt sale ,buy tools and they toss in a 5 amp hour battery free , please look at the ad . I just snagged several Dewalt tools Thanks Matt
I have had Ryobi tools for years and upgraded as needed never ever had any issues with them I still have the blue tools from Ryobi and use them once in awhile and they still work great and I beat the crap out of them and Beverly had any issues
The radio is nice, if only it charged batteries like the dewalt one. Since retiring from the trades I'm no longer in any battery platform. What I have now is mostly corded since I use them so much. I'm still leaning back to dewalt only because their expensive radio charges batteries as well as running off them. Though the ryobi has a definite edge with being able to run so many extra speakers, that'd be great for parties.
I bought. Y 1st Ryobi set of tools in 2006 for job I got and everything said I have become a big Ryobi fan 😅. Now I'm glad I went that route. Now all we need is for Ryobi to build an electric car with 5 or 6, 60 voltage batteries that can run for an hour or two at 75 MPH . When the batteries need charging, just pull over and change the batteries and keep going. 😅. I just need a bright green car! 😅😁😜
I can't believe they've released a second new trim router since I bought mine last year. LOL I'm also annoyed that I finally pulled the trigger on the previous tripod light over the winter and they've already upgraded it. At first I didn't care for how the lights shine a full 360 degrees. While it would make a great camp site light, it felt like you'd waste a lot of light for a task. Now that I see it tilts and you can direct all the light toward one place, I'm pretty excited for this. I will wait for the first "factory blemished" models to hit DTO.
all of that's pretty cool, but it's about time for a space-marine suit with a huge battery as a backpack, and some cables that come down to your hands that you can mount any tool onto , and run just off the one big batt. Instead of having each tool have a battery, you just grab the tool, plug your wrist chord onto it, and everything powers from the one battery. Then you can have all kinds of lightweight batteryless tools on your belt/vest, but still be able to get lots of power out of them when you use them.

I recently picked up a simple adapter to snap my Makita batteries onto Ryobi tools, and now I use the Ryobi tools all the time.
I've never seen the adapters where they sell them
That tower light with removable head is actually really impressive. So many uses for something like that. More brushless tools are always nice too!
I've used Ryobi for years and have no complaints, good quality for the price. I like to comment on one thing though, why is hard to remove batteries from the charges. I find myself using both my hands and sometimes struggling to do it.
I just got the HP Brushless Router yesterday. It’s a lot nicer than I had expected!
all of my expensive tools got stolen out of my work van,(bastards) have slowly been replacing them with more affordable ryobi tools, have not been letdown yet and actually I am impressed with the quality..
I never understood junkies stealing tools because not something just anybody is gonna wanna buy
I started with Ryobi in 1998 and have always upgraded the system to the newest Ryobi line. I used them to rebuild my house.
I have Dewalt tools, they are really great and expensive, but no brand makes such a wide range of tools as Ryobi. I bought my first Ryobi tool yesterday, and I am really impressed, I don't know why people don't trust them, everything looks perfect...
Very cool tools from Ryobi they are really making some great new stuff. Thanks for sharing Matt
I just bought my first router and it is the ryobi PCL424B Trim Router. It is the brushed model which I am ok with even if brushless is nicer but only need it to round off edges. I also bought my first router bit after a ton of research. Wanted something that would last so I got one of the round over bits from woodpecker tools along with one of those fancy 24 inch edge rules.
The Ryobi Router is a little top heavy but it is not bad. It is a nice router with the variable speed and comes with the dust collection port attachment. My buddy gave me a routing table years ago that is just sitting in my garage. He was getting rid of stuff after he had a nasty divorce from his wife.
I been helping him out with storage, he is a real good battle buddy of mine from the Army. So I have one at the ready. I have a pretty huge shop outback that could easily fit 4 vehicles in it. So I cleared out a front area that I don’t use so he could store his stuff until he can get a new place. It is gonna take some time because of the housing market being unaffordable right now
It's a solid tool.
I run Makita & work alongside alot of Milwaukee & Dewalt, but myself & guys at work all have Ryobi stuff too for various needs and they consistently pleasantly surprise us.
I've used that router alot, primarily for round overs & it's served well.
Also the cheap Ryobi router bit kits are very solid for the price too.
You can trim alot of pine/MDF e.t.c... with them & have many sizes for a fraction of the cost.
Unless you're doing high production in a shop and/or working exclusively with very hard hardwoods (hickory, rock maple e.t.c...) I have found the cheaper router bits work very well.
The Home Depot where I live has a Ryobi rep in the store all day long. He walks around the Ryobi displays all day answering questions. Never tried them but I will give them a shot soon.
Dont Do it .... Constant Defective Batteries and Charges at the very least
I've been using Ryobi tools for years and they've been great for the price. However, I've noticed that the plastic parts can be a bit fragile. I've learned to be careful and avoid dropping them, but it's something to keep in mind. While they're good for occasional DIY projects, I'm considering upgrading to a more durable brand for heavier-duty tasks.
I have Milwaukee, and they have held up well to drops.
Appreciate the videos and your honesty. You ask questions or try things that I would, if I were reviewing or testinf the products.
One point I'm not sure if anyone noticed or pointed out when you referred to the 40V 6Ah battery as a 60V.
I love my Ryobi tools, some are still working since bought them in 2011/2012, inclduing the original 1/2" drill as part of the combo startee pack and a 40V lawn mower.
Cheers.
Good catch, i mis-spoke there. It's 40v.
I am a DeWalt, primarily for power hungry/torque needed applications. But there is an equal amount of green under my workbench. Ryobi is a great fit for budget and offering. Hands down the best.
However one thing is missing from all these tools... Ever run out of beans on a battery and you needed a minute or two to finish a job?
How about a means to plug into an AC wall outlet and have an end to moderately power a battery tool to get out out of a pinch???
I bought my first Ryobi cordless with 16ga nailer, loved it so much bought the 18ga one soon after. Been using for years trouble free next tool was their led work light (different than this one) but reason i got was ability to plug in a fantastic tool. Next was their 7 1/4” circ saw so i can cut down plywood at store to fit in my SUV…I’m on fence with this because it shuts off too many times due to the safety feature but does all that i want. Last tool was the hedge trimmer absolute wonderful tool, really powerful and the hedge sweep works great.
I have over 40 Ryobi tools and absolutely love them all. They have great customer service as well.
For handyman tools I dont think then can be beaten for quality and price. I have started to transition to DeWalt for just a few items that the Ryobi items simply cant come close to, but for everyday tools I'll stick with the Ryobi
People make fun of Ryobi but let me say that in the late 80's I bought their chop saw and it still works fine. I trimmed entire houses with that thing (before slide miters came out).
I've got one, too, and it's always there and ready to go.
Cool stuff! I'd probably use the radio to either listen to NPR or the ball game.
It makes sense that they don't let 18 volt devices run off of 40 volt or AC mains power using the lamp tripod. It's entirely possible that a lot of the 18 volt tools would draw enough power to burn wires.
i have all platforms of tools but i am liking the ryobi more and more, and your presentation of the new ryobi stuff is excellant
I love that you bring such interesting tools to consider. I am not sure I would need or use most of them, but once in a while I see on that makes me go WOW!!! Thanks!
Glad you like them!
Ryobi is always making new products which is very cool , the other well known brands do pretty well too , but id give ryobi the edge ( rightly or wrongly ) for just pumping out new devices all the time , walking into our local big hardware shop im like a kid in a candy shop :) .
I have been using cordless power tools for over 50 years. I was a rancher when Skil first came out with their cordless drill. I can’t remember how much it was but prob in the mid $40 range. It was almost worthless! If I was just going to drill some small holes in wood it was fine. The problem was I bought it to drill holes in large fence posts to mount hardware. Complete waste of money! Then Marita drills and they were useful. Over the years I have purchased and used every brand of battery powered tool. When I discovered Ryobi I was very impressed. They worked well and were about half the price of the competition. I own most of the entire One Plus line and I couldn’t be happier. Every time they offer something new I typically buy it. Granted I don’t need the pile of different drills that I have but I always know where some of them are.
I will buy the tools and the sound system as well that you demonstrated. The work light looks like it will be one of my favorites..
I can repeat your story completely! I forgot about those old Skil screwdrivers. Prehistoric…LOL. YES, I’ve picked up Ryobi drivers here and there for $30 or so and have one all over my property. They do the job!
Great video! DIY I'm almost all Ryobi. I have a few Milwaukee tools I bought for specific jobs but otherwise I've got a lot o Ryobi 18v. There seems to be a 4th router in this lineup, I have what could only be described as a hybrid between your "New" and "Newest" routers. It is the pcl-424. It has the improved base, removed logo on the handle. It does not have the steel band around the collar and it doesn't say either Brushless or HP on it. Just saying. Cheers!
I’ve been waiting on that boombox, but can’t afford it right now. But I’m really impressed with that light stand, I was going to get it before, but I didn’t know about the removable head and now it’s definitely a must have! Thank you for the awesome review.
I have many Ryobi brushless tools, from drills, standard and right angle, their codrless ratchet and impact, skill saw, jig saw, grease gun and many more. I think I have about every tool they have in my tool box on my truck. Never had an issue with any of them. Great stuff and affordable unlike Milwaukee cordless tools.
Ryobi needs to give me an 18v laser level to sit on that tower and make sure it can run of the mains as well as the battery, THAT would be genius.
Yes, was thinking at first it was a laser... More versatile though - we all need a fixed drill at 7ft! Or maybe put that boombox up there for a better disco-experience. Anyway, laser perhaps later on?
@@ibubezi7685 How about an LED disco ball to put up there? One may ask why would you need that? I say, why not?
@@truthunfiltered314 With WIFI and BT - and an app, of course.
I bought a ton of Ryobi stuff durijg the pandemic. Great for the weekend woodworker
The best Ryobi tool I have ever purchased was the 4 stroke weed eater. I have it had for at least 5 years and never had any issues. Not having to worry about mixing fuel for it is great and it will start on either the second or third pull every time.
I bought a bunch of power tools because of Matt and saved a lot of money. I love the Ryobi router and it is my go-to for a quick trim finish. I can say for the price it is a go-to tool and a great job without the cost
Excellent video for some great tools. I got into Ryobi years ago for the cost; now I stay for the quality.
I like my Ryobi tools. Use them almost daily for repairs around the new (used) home and in my shop for automotive repairs and all of my woodworking. I did have to go with a Ridgid table saw as all the Ryobi ones are just too light duty for my needs.
Ryobi must have competitions for their designers to see who can come up with the wildest ideas for their One+ family.
I started with Ryobi cordless tools in the 90's when they came out with the Tim Allen special 12v drill that came with the tool bag, too. The drill kept on working and it was only the batteries that gave up - NiCad's were the best cheap ones of the day, but they couldn't hack it. Eventually, the soft grip stuff on the handle started to get the mange, after about 20 years.
The One+ tools got me to stay with Ryobi and they've never let me down.
I have a bunch of the 18V batteries including some that I bought in 2011. I also have a number of the old dark blue tools. All are still working well. I’ve had a number of more expensive tools ( other brands) fail in this time.
Looking forward to the new brushless router. Currently using the P601 palm router. I like that even though you promote higher end tools like Festool and Woodpecker, you also review lower end tools like Ryobi which are more affordable to us hobbyists woodworkers.
I have some Ryobi. It's good to have options.
Ryobi is great.
I run Makita as well & have worked with and around tons of Milwaukee & Dewalt.
There's some duds, but also some studs.
Lumen for dollar, their lighting can't be beat. Also really like their Fans, vaccuums & trim guns are great too.
They're often much better than they get credit for.
Kobalt and skil are also starting to work their way into the accessory tool market, which is nice. Skil having usb ports on all their batteries is helping their case, as you don't need to buy a usb adapter to stick on your battery, you just use the one on it like a power brick
Their lights and fans are all pretty fantastic.
Love my nail guns and trim router.
I've been using Ryobi tools including battery lawn mower for years and they all work GREAT.
Same here, I have the one+ mower that uses 2 batteries, has been working great for years.
Even the very first one+ drill I bought about 10 years ago is still going just fine.
The HP tools are definitely better though.
@@AusExplorer That something works great 'for years' is not an achievement though. I have a 4 stroke simple lawn mower from Viking which is going strong for about 20 years now. Only filled up oil and switched spark plugs. At least 10 years with trouble free use before I start to consider it a good mower. My simple 12v drills from Metabo are now 15 years old and only now I can notice the batteries are starting to go down.
Dang!! Ryobi is killing it!! Makes it worth all the hate I get for using this line of tools! 😂
I have the "new" trim router and its great, but battery life is an issue, so the brushless version would be a great addition to the range, but I am really hoping the tripod light comes out for the 240V market as that would be a definite buy for me, as I love my torches/light stands.
Went to look at the product, but as I suspected it is not available yet. I figure they will go on the shelves around Thanksgiving or a little sooner in preparation Santa. Thanks so much for sharing
The only Ryobi tool I've used is the pole saw, and I don't have anything bad to say about it. I believe the rest of their tools are made with the same quality. At least I don't know why they wouldn't be. They may not be professional quality, but I'm not either. Thank you for your review, Matt. You nailed it! 😀😀😀😀❤❤❤❤
Haters gonna hate, and let them miss out and pay over for the same preforming tools IMO. I like Ryobi and the HP range I’m not looking back now.
I just bought the M12 tower light for $150. I think I'm going to return it and wait for the Ryobi to go on sale. The fact that you can remove the head and use it portably is awesome. Also much higher lumens than the M12 and M18 and Ryobi's batteries are so much cheaper.
You can regularly find the 7.5ah 40v on dto for around 160, that's the equivalent of a 15ah flexvolt in terms of wh capacity, if you need that light to run full brightness on battery, that 7.5 would likely last all day.
They do offer an 8ah and 12ah for the 40v, but those are too new and use 21700s so they are much more expensive
Great video love Ryobi and Milwaukee. Video is clean and comes with amazing 2010 dance skills.
731 Woodworks.. Nice Ryobi tools. I have several Ryobi tools and so far I love them. I know a lot of people hate on them but they just work. Are there better tools than Ryobi out there? Maybe but that's true with every brand. No one tool brand is the best at everything. I don't have any of the tools in this video...Yet!! But I'm sure I will. LOL
Some people have more money than brains! If you are contractor or use tools in an industrial setting, then buy red. If you’re just a regular knucklehead like me, Ryobi works just fine!
@@dougbongle3192 That's very true.
I have never had a Ryobi tool fail and my batteries are 5 years old and not charged regularly and they all still work
@@SeventyEightCivic Exactly!
@@dougbongle3192my Ryobi held up to years of foundry maintenance with no issues.
I use Milwaukee power tools, had a big job needing Brad nailer, I didn’t want to buy a Milwaukee one because I knew I’d never use it again so bought Ryobi
Man it was very impressive 😉
Ryobi and Milwaukee are both made my TTI.
Ryobi is really coming up with new tools and accessories. That router looks good. I guess they could not really put a door on the radio for the battery port most likely because of the dual power source. Those batteries look pretty interesting though 👍🏻 great informative videos Bud 👊🏻
I love that the light can use so many different power sources! I do wonder if the amount of light put out varies from one source to another though. Did you happen to check that? Not sue if I just missed it or if it wasn't covered
Ryobi are impressive for the cost. I have never had any issues with any of their tools and If I did it would not be expensive to replace.
Thanks for this great and informational video!
Wow where have you been all my life? Loving your channel so far. Sub’d!
Riobi was the tool you'd take to a job site where you knew they'd be stolen or ruined. They seem to be working at improving. Dewalt went through a similar set of changes.
LEDs use way less power than the power tools those LEDs probably run on some where between 5 and 12 volts so there is a circuit that reduces the voltage, probably using resisters that's what I use when I build a LED circuit.
Mabel a cord option for the pressure washer would be a good upgrade. Maybe you can provide feed back to them about that to help battery consumption when you have an option to plug it in.
I am invested in Rigid but Ryobi has all the cool tools. Do you have any reviews on battery adapter plates?
Bauer brushless router is exactly same as ryobi I just bought it Friday same dust collection paid 29.99 from Harbor freight and works so well and has speed adjustment and all same pieces as ryobi and works so well
I bought my first Ryobi when I needed a cheap cordless drill in a hurry. I got the 3/4" drill form a pawn shop.
I quickly discovered that none of my batteries or chargers were compatable so made a choice. It was more of a coin flip and Ryobi won. So, now I own Ryobi because my other cordless gear takes the Ryobi battery.
I’m so glad you put the drill on that tower. My dumb brain went straight to “would that work?”
That is fantastic ! . Have been in that platform since they came out .
That drill on the light thing rocks! I'm getting one to screw my cabinets together on site just to make my builder laugh if nothing else 😂
Well, either laugh or I just don't get called to quote the next job. 😂😂
40 volt Ryobi weed whacker is a huge step up from their 18 volt ones
Bought the previous version of router for great closeout price.
Gotta say that I wondered about the drill on the tower as well. "But we're dudes, it's cool, we like more power" - absolutely!😄
As it turns out, I have a 40 V Ryobi lawnmower, so I'm really thinking about the tower light.
One of your more fun reviews!
Great review as always, Ryobi is really coming out with some great things.
You’re right about the 40v weed eater. So glad I went with it versus gas. Grab it and go. The only thing I don’t care for is the small amout if trim string that goes on the spool and that it doesn’t auto feed. Not a deal breaker but it would be nice to have. Keep on creating sir!
I mean the bump feed isn't exactly rocket science. I don't even have the dedicated string trimmer, Mines the expand it so it uses a regular gas trimmer head and a shaft
So what cordless trim router should I get? Hercules, Dewalt or Ryobi?
Same here, trying to decide which one to get!
I want that light tower for the garage and then have it as an emergency light if the power goes out for the night. I have plenty of those batteries.
I’m getting into Ryobi big time and your videos are incredibly valuable to me. I just subscribed to your channel and liking all your videos. Thank you 🙏
Ryobi is killing it! I’m a huge fan of their tools.
All my cordless tools are Ryobi. I am traveling the US full time in my Class B motorhome and have about six 18 volt Ryobi tools with me. I have always been very pleased with them.
I’m quickly becoming a Ryobi fan. They are killing it.
Agreed
One thing I did to the Ryobi clamp speaker, pull the pin on the clamp and replace it with two short trim screws. The pin can drift out on it's own and the clamp gets out of wack. With this modification it will stay secure.
Ryobi is probably the best platform for DYI and hobbyist due to their cost and vast amount of tools and accessories. Their brushless drills and impacts are very good. Their miter saws, corded and cordless, seem a bit cheap; but they are light in weight making them handy to store or transport. Supposedly, they will be coming out with a bunch of 80 volt items. I imagine that line would be for the tools that require a lot of power.
Thank you Japan🇯🇵
the circuitry to allow an 18v system to run off 40v or whatever v u want is very simple and fully integrated into some newer tools. competitors already have flexvolt options that allow you to use all their current tools off all their current batteries. i can only assume that some of those tools are older and hence dont have the circuitry. but then i didnt see which router you tried.
You guys can love Ryobi all you want. I've had 6 different brand new Ryobi batteries on various tools over the years, and not a single one of them lasted more than 2 years, some died in less than 2 uses not joking... They're garbage. Yet I have a dewalt drill i bought in 2010, and it still runs like new and the two batteries that came with work like new.
Great, helpful video! I have been more impressed with Ryobi recently. Thanks Matt!
The light would be perfect when jetty fishing
Excellent presentation. But on another note, I’m loving your watch. What model is it?
Hey, Mr 731. I just bought some plans from you, along with some board butter and a t shirt. I'm just getting into woodworking and was wondering if you have or could make a video on wood finishes. There are so many options out there it's impossible to figure out. Thanks
Im an unapologetic ryobi fan to be sure! The variety of tools in their line up is unmatched and their commitment to their customer base is second to none. I have the opportunity to often use the red brand and the yellow brand and with few exceptions Ryobi is quite comparable and the price is on point to be sure! My only issue is here in western Canada I have to travel quite a distance in order to hit a Home Depot in order to get my fix!
I have yet to have a ryobi last!! My trimmers were Junk!! Ran back to a gas trimmer by Honda.
Re: 1200 PSI 1.0 GPM Cordless Electric Cold Water Pressure Washer, does the pump shut off when the wand trigger is released or does the pump continue to run against a closed water valve? (Pumps that run against a closed wand valve overheat and burn out.)
I wouldn't buy a Ryobi for heavy duty work, but I have their One+ buffer, air pump and 3 gallon vacuum. Good medium duty stuff with interchangeable batteries.
Also, I've been wondering if the stand would automatically halve the 40V power to run the 18V tools. Thank you for testing! At least you've confirmed we can attach an impact wrench to reach those really high stuck bolts!
Is the brushless router any less top heavy compared to the brushed version (2nd gen)?
I wish these manufacturers would allow these devices to charge batteries also.
If you can run something off battery or 120v it seems like it would be simple to allow the battery to be charged while the device is plugged in.
Wow. I'm part of the 40 volt platform, so I think I'll have to get myself a #5!
Ryobi is stepping up and it's good to see as some brands are goin backwards it seems, I'm on DeWalt platform or I would consider Ryobi, got their 18G trim nailer and it's all good...
Another one to check out if you want a good nailer would be metabo hpt. They're a good complementary brand to pick up, I got their 36v recip saw and it makes corded ones look like toys.
Something I have yet to see offered (I might have missed it, though) is a mains "HP" power adaptor that plugs straight into the tool, replacing the battery.
Some may think this is contrary to the whole "battery" philosphy, BUT I'm thinking specifically of work-stations/work benches, etc, that are close to 110/220 VAC (depending on location) - the "power unit" could be switched between the "battery" tools in the same way a battery would, BUT there would be no hassle with batteries running flat and finding charged ones, nor keeping them charged AND for the power hungry tools, well, even better!
You'd have the continuous use advantage of a wired tool and the portability and independence of a battery tool with just ONE outlay, rather than having to duplicate some tools.
Farm Home supply in Quincy is having a Dewalt sale ,buy tools and they toss in a 5 amp hour battery free , please look at the ad . I just snagged several Dewalt tools
Thanks Matt
I have had Ryobi tools for years and upgraded as needed never ever had any issues with them I still have the blue tools from Ryobi and use them once in awhile and they still work great and I beat the crap out of them and Beverly had any issues
Stop beating the crap out of Beverly 😂
The radio is nice, if only it charged batteries like the dewalt one. Since retiring from the trades I'm no longer in any battery platform. What I have now is mostly corded since I use them so much. I'm still leaning back to dewalt only because their expensive radio charges batteries as well as running off them. Though the ryobi has a definite edge with being able to run so many extra speakers, that'd be great for parties.
I bought. Y 1st Ryobi set of tools in 2006 for job I got and everything said I have become a big Ryobi fan 😅. Now I'm glad I went that route. Now all we need is for Ryobi to build an electric car with 5 or 6, 60 voltage batteries that can run for an hour or two at 75 MPH . When the batteries need charging, just pull over and change the batteries and keep going. 😅. I just need a bright green car! 😅😁😜
I bought the mower brushless and amazing
Ryobis 99 dollar power washer is awesome
I can't believe they've released a second new trim router since I bought mine last year. LOL
I'm also annoyed that I finally pulled the trigger on the previous tripod light over the winter and they've already upgraded it. At first I didn't care for how the lights shine a full 360 degrees. While it would make a great camp site light, it felt like you'd waste a lot of light for a task. Now that I see it tilts and you can direct all the light toward one place, I'm pretty excited for this. I will wait for the first "factory blemished" models to hit DTO.
all of that's pretty cool, but it's about time for a space-marine suit with a huge battery as a backpack, and some cables that come down to your hands that you can mount any tool onto , and run just off the one big batt. Instead of having each tool have a battery, you just grab the tool, plug your wrist chord onto it, and everything powers from the one battery. Then you can have all kinds of lightweight batteryless tools on your belt/vest, but still be able to get lots of power out of them when you use them.
great, informative video. Keep them coming.
I wish I knew about the light before buying the same from Milwaukee recently.
I definitely need the tri-power tripod for my 18V drill. Its perfect for a horror film!
