I bought this to use on wood. I should have looked at it more closely. I'm going to return it. I love how little it is and that's the major reason I bought it.
You may consider a dust mask as part of your PPE and long sleeves when using this tool. Brace your wire shelving by laying it down flat on your work bench prior to cutting. Nice tool, it's very specific 19k RPM is best for metal work to 1/4". Not to be used in place of angle grinder or circular saw with proper blades for the various material applications. They all serve their purpose, I would recommend using it to cut off Lock's, flat iron, square tube aluminium and rebar applications during concrete work on site; wherever portability is paramount. Thank you for your reviews the one hand reciprocating saw next please...
The tool has the circuitry to recognize the hp+ battery built into it. And the extra blade plate is for a different diameter arbor hole on the blades i believe
Had a y-adapter on my outdoor spigot that got mineral-welded onto the threads. Using two opposing 20" slip joints I could not get it off, unbelievable! Decided to cut it off. Grabbed my flex cable Dremel tool and got 80% thru the material and broke the mandrel. Took me 30mins to get 80% thru, too small a tool for the job. Ran to the nearest Direct Tools Outlet where this exact model was on sale for $69 as "blemished". The "refurbished" was $89. Super nice sales agent sold me the "blemished" display model for $49. Finishing that cut into the Y-Adapter took about 10 seconds. Helpful was the reverse option so sparks wouldn't fly in my face. One small problem was that the display model was missing one of the two flange adapters (7/16" & 3/8"). Of course, the included wheels are 3/8" and that was the flange that was missing. I figured out that facing both the inner flange and top flange the wrong way would allow me to secure the disc. I ordered the missing part directly from Ryobi for $10 ($3+$7s&h).
Great review Logan. Perhaps when you do the impact driver you could do a comparison with an older one like the P236A. Not sure why I may have picked that one LOL. Then tell us what you think about it. Thanks so much for these Ryobi tools. I always check you sight before I buy one.
4:28: I found it best to insert the key's short end and then tuck the long end behind the reverse trigger. They really should've molded a small l-shaped keeper tab north of the reverse switch so you could snap it in place. This would've allowed it to store without chance of dropping out when the tool is 5+yrs old.
Its not an extra flange. The attached flange is 7/16. The other flange in the bag is a 3/8. It seems Ryobi enclosed blades are 7/16 . Most other blades on the market are 3” 3/8 arbor
The fact that Ryobi considered that instead of making it take proprietary blades is pretty awesome...bonus points for that...I'm curious if the mini circular saw blades would fit in it...they're 3 3/8"...would make a great trim saw if they did
I probably said this before. Out of the 3 cut off tools from TTi, the M12 is the most refined. M12 lacks the variable speed, but the smooth and little vibration that it produces far outweighs the con. The Ryobi and Ridgid are almost 100% identical, but I feel Ryobi overall balanced better. The cut off tool imo is a nifty tool to own, so by no means is it a gimmicky tool. You will never say one grinder is enough.
I absolutely love this tool , so does my wife . Bonus . You didn't mention the guard can rotate to better protect from sparks & debris when switching to reverse or cutting from a different angle . Reverse is a cool feature.
Yeah, honestly I was a little skeptical of this tool and didn’t understand its full potential. I should do a follow up because other than the drill driver and impact, this has become one of my most used HP Tools.
I would say probably because most people are right handed. But I got your point, it came to my mind as well, that this tool is unusable for left handed people

Their 6-1/2" brushless circular saw is nice & very manageable. They prefer 6ah batteries though 4ah should do ok.

If you set up a vacuum cleaner with a helper to hold it, you can capture the drywall dust as you cut. Otherwise, there will be dust all over the room.

P238 comparison of new hp impact p238 has hp tabs lol and hp tool doesn't thats strange

My wife seen your tools on the hall....she said omg it looks your wall in the garage! Hahaha....
Yeah this will go on the Christmas list! 🎅
For sure! Great Christmas Gift! 😁

Great comment! Thanks for your thoughts!
Personally I feel this is one time where Ryobi upped Milwaukee. The M12 is under-powered and is too easily prone to stalling and over-heating.
I would have love to see how it cut plastic 3d wall tiles. 2 see if it will gave a smooth cut.
The installed arbor is 7/16 for Ryobi wheels, for other brands like Diablo a 3/8 arbor is included.
What is the difference between the two and how does one know when they should b using wich
Can you use a 3" bladed saw to cut laminate flooring?
Happy for any unboxing, but interested in the impact driver next. ;-)
Thanks for commenting!
At least you,Can Find BAtterys For It.
What Do You Think Of The RotoRazor?
I love it. Very easy to handle. I use if for crafts and its perfect.
Do you cut wood with it?
Does this cut wood? If so which blade do you use?
Could I cut some laminate flooring with it?
I absolutely love this tool , so does my wife . Bonus . You didn't mention the guard can rotate to better protect from sparks & debris when switching to reverse or cutting from a different angle . Reverse is a cool feature.

Silly question. Do they make a wood blade for this for quick/ small cuts or which of the three blades would you use for wood?
Yes, the wood wheel.
@@HCG I found a Dremel 3 inch blade for wood and plastic at Home Depot. Have you found a Ryobi brand version of this?
@@misterlyle. yes there’s a three pack of blades, but any 3” wheel works in the tool.
@@HCG Thanks, Casper.
Is there blade cut wood
Muy buena herramienta , pero debes encenderla antes de tocar el material.
Read the user manual.
Link not working
Once you score sheet rock, you could’ve just done a crosscut and pop it through
Try The 9Ah Battery.
Make a small angle grinder and sell as a new tool.
it should cut thru wood at least a 5/8
i have a 3, 1/8 wood disc on mine
Where did u purchase wood disc..?
@@Owenvic1972 Home Depot stocks a 3 inch wood and plastic blade from Dremel.
Good show, you really would not be able to rock the tool into the drywall on a flat wall.
You can remove the guard
Impact Driver.
Thanks Eva! Appreciate all your comments!
You don’t do circles very well.....lol
Don’t know about the price?
This one is $99 for the Tool Only.
Impact wrench
It could be next... 😁
Thanks for this videos. The instruction manual wasnt helpful.
You talk too much. I gave up
Second flange to accept Dremel wheels…
Why are most tools made for right handed people😡
I would say probably because most people are right handed. But I got your point, it came to my mind as well, that this tool is unusable for left handed people
Trashed
Only thing I can say is it’s obvious he’s never worked in construction
