"Uggghhh! Ya gotta go back to the button, do that, do this, then do that." 😄😄 Very helpful review!
I bought a ryobi silicone gun and use it when I have a lot of siliconing to do like sealing a fire wall. Not sure if the one I have is a newer model but it does pull back when u release the trigger. Not much but u can see the tube become loose. Anyway, its a great buy and I highly recommend getting 1 if uv been thinking about it.
Also I didn't buy ryobi batteries as I have an adapter for milwaukee batteries.
Nice vid. I've been waiting for this for years. Not even vcg!😁😁😁. Excellent.
Thank you. It answered my question.
Glad I made the right choice thank you
I’ve got the Milwaukee m12 and absolutely love it. The retraction does mean just a few seconds but gives me better control.
Just picked up the Ryobi one today and finished up installing a new shower door for my parents. It works great and is exactly why I need. Nice comparison!
4:19 - so i guess we will lay a bead down (rubs hands).. 5:10 - guess not. Gr8 review otherwise im usually a MW fan but will prob get the ryobi or wait for the new ridgid one.. id like to handle both tube sizes..
Hi mate, firstly just want to clarify I am in Australia so there may be a difference but the Ryobi skins in Aus all have an automatic lockback. Weird right? Now to my actual question; have you found any techniques to stop the ryobi plunger from building up an enormous excess of silicone behind the plunger? Because it’s a pain in the ass (for me at least) and a solid hour with a disposable scalpel-blade is a weekly occurrence for me. Would love your input!
Seen similar complaints about the ridgid caulk gun in regard to its autoretract. Also, people complained the retract distance varied from time to time.
Thanks for this video, you saved me the $80 price difference for the Milwaukee one.
Yeah as long as you aren't using it all the time if you are then that ryobi will break unless you have some luck going for ya
Can't ever imagine using a Ryobi on a job. Can't even recall ever seeing a Ryobi tool on any jobsite
Не покупай разную хуйню. Купи Милуоки.
How long does your Ryobi last, given that it has plastic gears? I was thinking about getting the Ryobi, even though I have Ridgid batteries. With a $25 battery adapter, the Ryobi is still $50 less expensive than the Ridgid ($120 at Home Depot).
What is the thread on these guns?
Today the ryobi is $80 tool only and the Milwaukee is on sale for $160 tool only. You think this is a result of low sales. I understand 2020…but drills and saws didn’t double in price.
Good to know thanks for sharing
My plunger (casting rod) will not retract. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? We have probably only run 10 tubes of caulk thru the gun.
The speed and that Milwaukee quality can't be beat.
I found the Ryobi messes up the tube a lot, leaks due to unbalanced pressure on backplate of caulk happen a lot.
maybe the hole is too small
But the Ryobi DOES have an automatic drop stop on it.
The Milwaukee is top in quality and will last for ever im a professional caulker it’s all i do all day every day. So if your into heavy heavy caulking daily Milwaukee.
You got a refurbished one so you should have problems with the caulking gun by Beetro. I also like the locking feature as well it’s not an issue
I have the newer Ryobi, it has auto retract. And I would disable it in a heart beat. I was caulking a very tall door and there is no way I could do it in one run, so I just needed to adjust my position and carry on...but you have to wait for all the slack to be taken up...and then if your not happy you've matched the previous angle and let off the trigger to readjust it you have to wait again....there should be an over tide because the only time the feature is useful is once the run has been finished. Apart from that even on setting 1 (slowest) you need to get a wiggle on to keep up with the flow... So 2 ways to make this the best gun on the market... Variable trigger and auto retract over ride. But for the money....well it's amazing value I think I paid £50 in the UK , for heavy duty adhesives it's a godsend.
I hated the ryobi gun. I would never use these for interior use. Have 1 tube fail and push the plastic plunger on the tube sideways and you'll want to throw it away when you see how long the mess will take to clean up.
Yep. It would have been so easy for them to put a selector switch on it to turn the auto-retract on and off. They should also sense the motor current draw and do recovery at the same speed as the retract and detect when the current draw increases indicating the slack was taken out... or just recover the same amount as the retract but current detection would still be good to have still as you might have manually already taken the slack out.
It's always these toss away features that they usually hit you hard in the wallet for. Oh you want a switch on that, better buy the Pro version for an extra $50.
Have you not reviewed rivet guns yet? That would make for an interesting video
Vs makita vs hilti ??
Is there a way to disconnect the auto retract it also drives me crazy
Yes I wanna disable the auto retract
Ryobi got stuck on strong construction adhesive and had to be returned
Easy. Leave it on setting 4, 5 or 6. You have a variable speed trigger. Caulked plenty of precise areas. Gun has never been set below speed 4. No lag on stops and starts. Full press of the trigger and then back off it.
You are right. That is the only way to work with this caulking gun on fine slow beads. Leave it on a high speed setting, and try your best to get the variable speed correct with about a 1/4" of trigger throw, seems like. Back off the trigger too far and dang you got another slack back out to take up. A definite game of skill, which you have mastered. I have not. I mean no offense, I really do appreciate the comment, I am just frustrated with Milwaukee on this design. If it just had a switch to turn off the auto retract or a smarter auto retract with faster take up...it needs more refinement in the workflow design.
@@bzeug how doe it work on something thick like PL‐8?
I need to understand why you need a 18 volt caulking gun. Pure ignorance here, but cost/benefit analysis. Someone please help me wrap my head around this tool.
I’m sure you bought the ryobi new ? If you had bought the milwaukee new m12 like you have will cost over 100 bucks ! I just bought the ryobi new with battery and charger oh yea it’s a 18 volt the hole set up cost me 67 bucks new . Milwaukee is just high priced .
В России Милуоки стоит 350 долларов.
Hahahaha.... No way.... You can take the cheap one.. hahaha
You bag the Milwanky, then you admit you’d buy it anyway. I can’t make sense of your video 🙄
Wow pushing that button must just wear you out. Cant even believe your comparing Ryobi with Milwaukee. Milwaukee auto retract is designed so when you let the trigger go, caulk doesnt keep coming out and making a mess. Also the M12cis by far more precise and consistent that the ryobi. I can understand buying the ryobi over the milwaukee only if price is the biggest issue for you. But to own both and say ryobi is better is a joke. ANd yes I have used both of these and the ridgid one and the Milwaukee is superior in all ways.
Its owned by the same company. Milwaukee and ryobi is made in the same factory. There is a difference. But not much. Go cheap is much Better. You can Outlast any Milwaukee. If you buy 2 or 3 of the same product that is label ryobi. And for the price of 1 Milwaukee. Ryobi Its still good quality tools. I buy ryobi because of the celection in tools. So much crap. And the same batteri. Not switching from 12v to 20v. Just one 18v that nice. The new batterys just gave my 1997 jig Saw its life back. The new batterys fits.
And you learn to get used to use the ryobi. So Its pretty good. If you are used to use a Milwaukee that Works difrendt that probaly why you dont like the ryobi. This is a really simple tool. No rocket sience. So people go cheap and grab a ryobi. Thats the best idea. Milwaukee calking gun is too exspensive. And No difrends at All.
@@MAL-Collector Well I would say you generalizations are a bit off. First both brands are owned by
@@MAL-Collector Both brands are owned by Techtronic Industries based in Hong Kong. They are both made in the same huge factory as well as hover vacuums and several other brands of tools. But there is a big difference between the two. They are not made in the same assembly line just in the same building. Milwaukee uses superior materials and gears for there brand vs the Ryobi. Also big difference in the quality of the motors used. It’s like saying a Ford Fiesta at $15000 is the same as a fort GT500 at $70000. Both made by Ford and same factory but far different quality in cars. I’ve been using power tools for 30 years and have used everything from craftsman to hilti. The Milwaukee are my favorite for many reasons that justify the price difference.
@@horusgod6038 yes i know and thats why. The same japanese man assable the ryobi cheaper parts. And the Milwaukee Whit some little bit Better parts. Its not that big of a deal in quality. Sometimes its the brand You pay for. And in this case Whit caulking guns. You pay alot for the brand name Milwaukee.
@@MAL-Collector I paid $130 for mine new and the Ryobi was $119. $10 is nothing compared to the difference in quality. I’ve used just about every major brand out there over the years and Milwaukee are my favorite for quality, warranty and overall performance. I guess we can just agree to disagree.
The Ryobi one is absolute trash. I’ve gone through 3 of them in the past 2 months.
Mine worked perfectly 👌😊
the gears inside the ryobi are plastic so they won't last as long, if you're putting a tool through daily heavy use you have to pay the big bucks or buy twice. I have the ryobi which I only use it occasionally so I've been happy with it so far, everything else that I use daily is red.
You know Ryobi stuff isn't made for tradies, right?
milwaukee is about 3X the price at home depo
That's because Ryobi is absolute trash
