Well CLINT… I know the only other time you’ve seen an r and a y next to each other is in the word “rye”, but in the Japanese language ry=ree, lol. And after they just gave you a track saw… sheesh, Can’t take some folk anywhere 😬
I just bought the 12v Makita "Power Cutter." The cutting head end looks the same as this Ryobi. I bought the Makita tool because I thought less power would exempt the cutter from several jobs that I wanted out of it. The 12v works well. I'm glad I got the 12v cutter; I don't think a 4v or 6v cutter would be good for anything but small jobs.
@@VCGConstruction I have the Worx version of this and it's absolutely terrible. It takes forever to charge and it gets extremely hot to the touch when in continuous use. I'd like to see a head to head competition between these products!
Well, you said it all when you said "hobby", low powered, low RPM, perfectly safe for a Soccer Mom to cut scrapbook materials with... Just about anything you can cut with it you can cut with a utility knife in about 1/2 the time.
You're probably right, but the effort needed to repeatedly cut cardboard or clamshell packaging with scissors is like hauling buckets of tar up a ladder to a roof. Not to mention the odds of slicing your hand open on clamshell packaging, that shit should come with a warning.
I have this for mainly keeping in garage to break down cardboard and other recyclable materials. This is significantly better than using a regular box cutter. Especially if you have a lot of cardboard that I tend to get each week.
Happy that you demonstrated carpet tile and the synthetic grass. I was looking for a gauge on cutting carpet. Everybody says it shines for clamshell or blister packaging, but on 99% of products, you can just slide a knife through the mounting hole against the cardboard and slide it around the edge and it cuts quickly and easily.
I use this and like it alot. It’s not perfect and definitely isn’t the most powerful or fastest tool but I can cut a whole lot of blister packs or cardboard with much less effort then a utility knife or scissors. There actually is a battery charge level indicator right next to the top switch. Definitely not a pro tool but far from useless and I do like it a lot.
Define irony. A product whos selling point, among others, is to make opening clamshell packaging easier is packaged itself in a ridiculously robust clamshell package. If I only had this tool to open.....um.....this tool. Cheers!
Been waiting to get the new ryobi lithium usb tools and that led light, bought the new ryobi brushless hp ez-clean portable pressure washer last Sunday and it's awesome
Ryobi can't modify how the English language works. If they wanted to be pronounced Reoby they should have spelled their name properly. Same goes for Brett Farve.
Except it's a Japanese name spelled with English (technically Roman) characters. The capital city of Japan, Tokyo, is pronounced Tok-ee-o, not Tok-eye-o. The letter y when used in a Japanese word or name is pronounced ee, not eye. Always. And Brett Favre (don't know who Brett Farve is), says hi.
@@robertjoseph1592 I didn't know that. Thanks. I was referencing the international alphabet which is different apparently. Google Bret Favre and you'll see he thinks his name is pronounced Farve.
This is one of my most used Ryobi tools. I use it weekly to break down boxes to fit into my recycle bin. I always challenge myself to see how much I can fit into my bin and haven't failed yet! lol While most people who get large boxes from TVs, etc just put them out to the curb, I break it down to fit into my recycle bin. Love this tool!
I have a solution !!!!!!! A Fein 12 volt cordless multi tool with a Fein Starlock hook blade 😁. It's my choice !!!!!! Just an FYI. The Fein will also peel a banana 🍌. LOL !!! Try it, it's awesome. Thanks for the video Vince.
If you need this $70 tool to cut those packages open there's something wrong with you. I've been cutting those packages open with high quality scissors for years with no problem. There's no need for a tool like this for those types of packaging.
Just got one of these for Christmas. It looks like a great tool. I wish I opened it first- would have helped with opening all the plastic clamshell packaging. I destroyed my scissors and cut my fingers up. And I think this is perfect when you're trying to dispose of old carpeting and garbage co says you have to have it cut down into smaller rolls.
Ryobi needs to add a cable to allow use with Ryobi One batteries before I would begin to consider it, Until then I'll stick to my arsenal of diagonal cutting pliers, box cutter, aviation snips and regular scissors.
This tool and tools like it are trying to create void and fill it but scissors and knives already fill that space. To me, I'll stick to scissors and knives for package opening or cutting cardboard and fabrics. This seemed like a cool idea and I almost purchased one of these during one of the Christmas sales till I stepped back and thought about it for a minute. This thing is either an impulse buy or you'll use and abuse it (then its not for you anyways).
Aldi supermarket been doing a USB cutter like this in the UK for 2 years retails £12 about 15$ US price. I have 12v one from Parkside £20 (with charger & 2ah batter) & I've eaten zillions of Amazon boxes with it & it has an adjustable blade space for material of different widths
This is the most fantastic tool for blister packs, if you are a person who likes to open a lot of blister packs. Thank you for the real life video! I don’t need this tool as much as Rayo I wants me to think I need it!
Black & Decker has had one of these FOREVER. I use snips on blister packs. The one time I instead used a grinder (because it was right next to my Christmas gift battery charger I was trying to open on the bench), I cut right through the electrical connection next to the unit. It was hidden from the front under an insert.
Type C was such a smart choice. Milwaukee is sucking so bad in the last few years... No track saw, no type C batteries, no 4th gen drill and impact. what the heck! I'm turning red with anger!
Wife got me the black n decker version probably 7yrs ago as a stocking stuffer, and it seems to work best when tilting it counter clockwise just a bit. Let's say 11 o'clock, maybe 11:30
Did I miss it? It’s laboring because it’s needs to be charged. No one expects something to be fully charged out of the box. This is not a fair review. Not even close.
EVEN REOBIE SHOULD REALIZE IT'S THEIR FAULT PEOPLE SAY RYOBI!! NEVER HEARD ANYONE SAY IT THE WAY YOU JUST SAID IT. Not contractors not anybody.. is the company's fault for spelling it a dumb way people will say things the way it's spelled THERE IS A ( Y ) IN RYOBI THERE IS NO ( E ) IN RYOBI SO IN EVERYBODY'S OPINION ALMOST EVERYBODY WHO HAS THESE TOOLS WILL NOT CALL IT THE WAY THAT THE COMPANY WANTS YOU TO OR THE WAY THAT YOU JUST MENTIONED!!

I wish i would have seen this before i bought mine a few hours ago. I needed one just to open the package and was quite frustrated. I thought it was a small skillsaw type thing in which i was happy to have but then what i realized what it was. Im returning it here in a few. No need for this and it doesn't work well anyway. Sorry RI-obi.
Thanks for this video. You have saved me from even considering this 'tool' if I could loosely use the term to apply to this. Disappointed in the performance. It would have been nice if the battery could have been used as a power source to recharge your phone.
I like ryobi and I own some ryobi tools, but those 4v lithium tools are not worth the money due to the fact that you have to remove the cap each time you want to charge the battery, and you have to put the cap back each time you put the battery back in. Ryobi should have give us the ability to charge the battery from the tool so then it will be worth buying. As for now there are many great 4v tool on amazon that is cheaper and better. For example, for the price, I would rather buy the worx snip zip instead of this ryobi cutter.
The Skil tool is better @ $50 and comes with the battery and charger. You can also use a hook razor in a multitool. Friends don’t let friends buy Ryobi.
I want to see the Ryobi Compact Brushless One-Handed Reciprocating vs 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless One-Handed Variable Speed Lightweight Compact Reciprocating Saw
The thing about USB typc c vs micro USB is that for power only the type c port is very expensive to manufacture, micro USB 4 pins for power is enough but a typc 24 pin out. Arrange board is just waste of resources of you are not transferring data, so the case is mostly manufacturing cost
I would assume the makita is better. It is on there 12 volt plat form. We use these for card board all the time. Some of have sucked and some done really good. The ryobi looks like it sucks.
Ryobi: "We have a new multi-material cutter on a usb-c 4v battery that has no charge indicator and won't charge other usb-c devices. Isn't that handy?" Skil, holding their 12v PwrCore multi-material cutter with integrated device charger: "Hold my beer."
Definitely a miss on the battery indicator. I'm guessing they couldn't package the boost converter to allow charging other devices without making the batteries larger/more costly to produce. If someone knows better, feel free to correct me.
You are pronouncing it wrong. It's Ryobi, not Ryobi 😡
No, it's Clint (pronounced Clem), not Clint.

It's almost like it's a one trick pony, just for clamshell packaging. But the catch 22 is that it comes in a clamshell package.
It has half the cutting power of scissors and only takes twice the amount of time!
I can’t wait!

I bought a pair snips for my neices birthday to rip open those pesky packages
Worx came out with this years ago...
They call them scissors to open the package :)
Always cut away from the sausage.
Sausages
The Bosch version has been out for years certainly in the uk anyway.

It cuts cardboard, my main prototyping material. Coming from one who uses the Power Cutter to cut Cardboard boxes into panels for easy use/recycling
I have the Worx brand it works just fine but when battery go dead you wait a long to for a refill. Works good though.
Does it cut beard hair?
