We’re giving away 14 Free Woodworking Plans!

Ive been doing contract and trade work my whole life. Heaviest on wood working but also auto mechanics and HVAC. I originally started with Ryobi in 2010 with the drill, saw, flashlight combo. Since then I’ve added multi-tool, router, sander, jigsaw, impact driver, reciprocal saw, vacuum, even an angle grinder all on batteries.
It made a lot of sense for me because I live in three different places and need to have duplicates of my tools in each locale, specifically a drill, circ saw, impact driver, reciprocal saw, and multitool in each locale.
Of the 30 some Ryobi tools I’ve owned, only one broke: my original drill from 2010 “only” lasted 10 years before the chuck broke. The other three newer drills are going strong.
The vacuum was terrible but I have tried other brands wasn’t happy with them either.
Of all the batteries Ive had - probably a dozen- only one stopped working. And the two original ones I got in 2010 definitely don’t hold up very long anymore but they are still functional.
I bought the old style “blue” jigsaw in 2011 and my only complaint there is that the laser didn’t line up well. But I haven’t tried the new green version of the jigsaw.
I have a hard time seeing Ryobi as sub-professional grade but I also can’t lump them into pro grade. I would say they sit right down the middle of the road.
Still using the combo kit I was given in 1999 as a Christmas present
I fell down the RUclips tool reviewer rabbit hole and went with Milwaukee, and I regret it. I already had Ryobi batteries for lawn tools when I picked up woodworking, but everyone poo pooed on them so hard. I came to find out, even after a while of having a woodworking side hustle, that battery powered tools are an afterthought for us. I spend most of my time behind a saw or holding a sander or nailer, all of which have a cord or hose attached. Yes you need a drill, but I’ve never needed 1200 inch pounds worth of force to drill a pilot hole lol. I get disgusted with myself when I walk into Home Depot and see a pair of 4ah Ryobi batteries for $99 and a single m18 2ah for the same price.
I'm collecting more and more Ryobi tools all the time (as I need them). I'm a guy who will use the recip saw 2-3 times per year. I use the drill 4-5 times a year. Impact? Probably 1-2 times per year. So why would I spend 40% more on something red or yellow or weird blue when the seriously bright green works and works for me just perfectly? I really like Ryobi products, like the quality, like the selection and really like the pricing!
Ryobi has come a ways in recent years. It's a good starter brand for your everday DIYer or homeowner. I think it has trouble shaking the stigma with the name. I just upgraded tool by tool as i had more money through the years and my skills grew.
The greatest thing about Ryobi tools is they have used the same one+ batteries FOREVER. I was given a set of tools when I was in college because the old ni-cad batteries were bad. I bought some cheap Chinese knock-off batteries and I was off to the races.
I don’t believe Lowe’s carries Ryobi.
They don't. It's the only non-truth in the video.
not to mention, milwakee and ryobi are made by the same manufacturer
Lol. That does not make them the same tool. There's a reason Milwaukee are more expensive and used by pros.
Building up my Ryobi collection!:
• Brushless Drill PSBDD01
• Brushless Impact Driver PSBID01
• 5 1/2" Cordless Circular Saw PCL500B
• Cordless Compact Router PCL424B
• 18ga Brad Nailer P321
• 2x 4AH, 1 x 2AH, 2 x 1.5AH Batteries
If after the 3yr warranty something dies, I may upgrade to Rigid.
Even back in the day, sure, we thought Ryobi tools were sus, but the dudes that used them are still here and thriving. I went and got on their system cuz they've got so much innovation.
I met a vendor at Home Depot and they told me Ryobi and Milwaukee are made by the same company, you don’t mention that. Is that not true ?
i love ryobi i’m not a pro it helps me maintain my house i don’t need a certain amount of power or time shit gets done lol that’s all that matters
Lowe's does not carry Ryobi tools.
Lowe's Carry's junk
Read our deeper take on Why Ryobi is a good brand for woodworking beginners: www.sawinery.net/why-ryobi-is-a-good-brand-for-beginners/
I’ve got Ryobi at home and Milwaukee at work. Not much of a difference between the Ryobi HP and Milwaukee. But at home I have so many other Ryobi products that use the same batteries it’s worth a lot to me. Things like the fans, stick vacs, propane heater, sprayer, glue guns, and the list goes on and on. As for drills and impacts, yes they make some cheap models but you can buy the better grades if you’ll use them much and be happy with them.
For people who are just getting into woodworking or homeowners working on their house, Ryobi is perfect. No hate on Ryobi, I own a few but if you are using tools for a living they just don’t have the punch of professional grade. They were the first company to get the battery thing right. Same batteries work on all there tools. They are innovative.
I bought a Ryobi drill/driver over ten years ago, it's given me reliable DIY service and one of the two batteries has just failed. Replacing the battery costs half as much as a new 18V ONE+ drill driver and charger so when the other battery fails, or I get tired of waiting for it to charge, I'll buy the new Ryobi without question.
On the other hand I bought a circular saw about the same time that never cut straight because it's blade bearing was loose on day one.
I like Ryobi
Maybe just the drills
But cutting tools you’ll be doing bad cuts until u learn to adjust the machine
Most of them are off
Own the circular and other tools
IMO the reason ryobi gets so much hate is because in the past, idk how much now but some of their marketing was directed at professionals, not homeowners or light users. That is why ryobi gets compared to brands like Milwaukee and Dewalt, even though it was never supposed to be as good if even close. You don't see other similar entry level tool brands getting that type of hate like Hart, which shares the same parent company and similar internals to ryobi tools.
Reminds me of when I bought my Taurus pistol. I'm not using the items professionally, so value is one of the most important factors.
You can buy top quality and expect to keep using it forever, or you can buy tools that get the job done and are cheap to replace.
This video is so subjective. He doesn’t mention how annoyingly long it takes for a roybi battery to charge. Even with it super rapid charger. Or that it has a high failure rate that the batteries completely die either from malfunctioning or being knocked over and cracking both the tool and battery.
You are just wasting your money buying into an inferior brand. Just make your first purchase your last with a decent brand. That you wont regret when you use it for a long period of time.
The roybi cordless for example only has one base plate. So if you wanted to use it to plunge you will need to buy a plunge router which is corded.
All my Ryobi batteries (2ah and 4ah) charge very quickly. Are yours older?
@@SuncoastGuy Yup, those One+ do charge quite fast
My 2, 4’s and 6’s charge fast AF. Sounds like a great opportunity to try out the 3 year warranty. lol
Ryobi is not a good brand for beginner woodworkers its Makita. Founded in 1915 . Its power tools are aimed at carpenters and woodworkers. Using Ryobi power tools will turn you off woodworking with it s limited power capacity .
You know you to blame when your ryobi drill starts smoking when you drill into hard timber or end grain.😂
