I know a contractor who bought a Ryobi calking-gun (before other brands offered them) I thought he was nuts..... until he told me he was on a job to build a metal building where EVERY seam had to be calked as they assembled it. (frozen warehouse) After the other guys saw how it worked, they all went out and bought their own Ryobi calking-gun.😊
I've got a no-name pneumatic caulking gun, they are spectacular for long runs and when you have to apply a lot of caulking. But do not forget to adjust the air pressure down to only a few pounds. I forgot and left it at 135#, and it emptied a significant portion of the tube, like a fire hose, before I was aware enough to release the trigger. It was like a silly string can of caulking, no fun to clean up.
The jump starter probably uses a capacitor to perform the jump start, which would explain the delay for "priming". It probably charges a large capacitor from the battery, then jumps the car from the capacitor. This is probably also how they are able to perform the same from a small 2ah battery. Which is smart, IMO.
Agreed. I'm curious how much this is going to cost. Save some cost because of the external battery, add some cost for capacitors (and the additional size and complexity).
I bought the Ryobi cordless soldering station which other companies also have not brought to market, its the best soldering experience I have ever used, and I have been soldering for 55 years
Some in my family gave me crap for buying Ryobi not Ryobi tools but I have always loved them and had no issues. Hard for them to ignore the brand now with the tools they continue to put out.
I've never had an issue with any Ryobi tools I've owned or used over the years...just back when they had the Ni-Cad batteries they didn't hold a charge nearly as long as today's Li-Ion batteries, and the Li-Ion batteries charge much faster with today's charger technology LOL.
You are absolutely correct! Their niche tools is the reason I first purchased a Ryobi battery... namely for the Ryobi PEX pinch ring tool. It is a game changer for installing PEX.
I'm so glad I changed over to Ryobi 18V. I used a drill and impact from a friend who had regular Ryobi. Then when I saw what other tools they had available, I converted. They make almost everything. Their variety of air pumps, now this, along with fans, I'm loving it. I can't wait for their battery flash lights that run off their small Lithuim batteries. Plus don't foget they had several inverters that run/charge the batteries form 18v line.
I think they've got those 4V flashlights now maybe? It seems they've been expanding that 4V line with some what looks to be very useful stuff. I just hope they keep with it and don't discontinue it.
As a Heavy Duty Diesel tech most all my cordless tools are Ryobi from my hex gun to my 1/2 impact. I have had most of them for 5 years+ along with a few Snap On cordless tool, I have had no issue with my Ryobi tools but have had to have the Snap On tools sent back for repairs (not cheep). One of the tools I use daily is my 1/2 impact (Ryobi) and a 1/4 ratchet (Snap on) if the ratchet were to die I would pick up the new one from Ryobi. Part of what I like about Ryobi tools they get the job done, they don't brake the bank, and the interchanging the batteries.
Doing what you do, puts some heavy loads on the tools too, so if they can handle the loads you put on them, that should say they're pretty dang good, and the price point makes them available to many entry level people and DIYers. I appreciate what you guys do, you keep the big stuff moving like it should....thanks for all the hard work you do....yep, oftentimes trades in general are looked down upon, but people like you are what keep things going and keep things moving. For what I do I wouldn't waste money on Snap-On, Mac, etc....the regular old off the shelf box store tools get the job done, but nothing wrong with the cool tools when you are out using them all day long and count on them for an income.
Jump starter. Tire Inflator. led lights. Impact wrench. Add a powered jack (I guess the driver could turn it), a code reader and a nicely organized case and you've got an all in one roadside kit
I have had a 'super capacitor' starting-unit for several years now... it requires SEPARATE power to charge it before use. (several minutes) This new Ryobi starting-unit takes it step further and allows using Ryobi-brand batteries to precharge the 'super capacitor' before use. As you may be aware, a capacitor has the ability to charge/discharge at 100s of Amps....hence this gives it the speed of charge/discharge which batteries cannot match.
I have a jump starter that doesn’t even require a battery. It works with super capacitors and uses whatever charge is in the car battery to charge the capacitors. If the car battery is 6 volt or greater it can charge the jump-starter. The lower the battery voltage the longer it takes to charge. Works great as long as the car will start properly.
I have 2 DeWalt tools ( a 3/8” drill and 1/4” impact) and 10 Ryobi tools . Building on that brand as they are cheaper and as good or better the the previous. I owned a starter/alternator manufacturing company and just before we sold and retired we were considering a battery less jump pack. At that was needed was at least 4 volts and up to 4-5 minutes to charge a capacitor inside from the dead battery. This uses a 18+ one + battery to do the same thing. VERY SMART.
I have ALOT of Ryobi cordless tools(18 & 40V) and they are awesome. I’m a retired aircraft mechanic(also works on cars) and they get the job done for far less money than the other brands. Highly recommend Ryobi products.
Point of clarification - Duramax, Cummins, and Powerstroke are all 6.7L. Plus they are diesel-level compression. However, if there is at least some juice left in the onboard batteries (enough to slow-crank it), this still might still be useful, as it can push a 'slow crank' over to starting.
I'll be getting a couple jumpstarters. One for me and some for my kids, nieces and nephews... ryobi inflator comes in handy too.. some cool, useful items to keep in the trunk of your car
Love my Ryobi not reeobi tools and bought mine specifically so I could have all the tools I could need for my van build and use the same battery. They also are always coming up with new and great solutions for camping which fits the Vanlife.
Really cool stuff from Ryobi. The brand has really taken off in the last decade, great to see. Paired with Husky hand tools and the like, I have had no problems tackling most of my DIY/homeowner projects.
I still have a Husky socket set from like 15 years ago, I can't remember now how many pieces it is, but its a 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" set....love it because its in a nice hard case that folds up and snaps closed and easily carried around. Amazingly enough all the sockets are still there LOL...and all 3 ratchets still do ratchet things LOL. I recently picked up one of the Husky 26" rolling 5 drawer tool chests that I put all my air tools in and cleared out some space in my old US General 44" tool chest that's become overfilled with tools over the years LOL. Now that I have Ryobi stuff I guess I need to buy a green tool chest HAHA!!!
I don't know why the brands thought this was impossible. I have a battery jump starter in my truck that works great and the entire unit is less than half the size of my EGO battery for my trimmer. I tried it out when I first got it. I pulled the batter out of my 4.0L Ranger and started it using the jumper 11 times in a row off of one charge. It's about 9x5x1.5 inches and weighs maybe two pounds. It fits in the glove box.
My guess is that they just assumed something that tried to jump the vehicle directly from the tool battery without some form of intermediate storage. I'm pretty sure this has its own internal storage optimized for the specific task, and the 18v tool battery is only for recharging that.
Idk but I’ve used my battery to jump my car many times, just jumper cable straight to the battery let it sit 30 sec if it doesn’t instantly crank then try again, saved me too many times
@@Entropy512 They probably use something similar to a capacitor to store the power to provide the "jump start", that's how most of these types of devices work in some way, shape, or form....it ain't getting that kind of amperage straight from a 2AH battery LOL....which is all the Ryobi Jump Pack comes with if you get the kit is just a 2AH battery. That's why even on the handheld Li-Ion ones there's a bit of a delay after you hit the boost/jump button before its ready for you to crank the engine over. Takes a moment or a couple to charge the capacitor first.
That jump starter will be awesome. I find myself starting to like Ryobi better as days go on with their engnewity. you know Milwaukee could have put out first but the price would be 500.00
Years ago I laughed at a guy 20 years ago. I told him the only difference between his DeWalt and my Ryobi is if I leave mine out I can come back and it will still be there. Always outworked the guy and never looked back. Finding Ryobi tools a treat at yard sales where homeowners don’t know the value. Just got the best weed wacker for $15
I've had one a portable Jumpstarter for years, they're genuinely underrated. I think part of the reason for why they've held out for so long with it, is more to do with the design. It sounds dumb, but I mean it in the literal sense, so for example in my case it's a DBPower jumostarter, it looks like a slim brick. However, it's use is limited to charging & jump starting (sure the flash light, eh). Whereas with this, it's great to see! Yes, it is considerably bulkier.. But - adding a utility device such as a Jumpstarter to your battery/platform - is precisely the kind of "squeezing" the juice from the lemons ya have. It doesn't need to fly off shelves, it's the fact they did it, that atleast communicates to me - that there'll be more cool & dope stuff to come regardless of your niche. Awesome! 🤘🏽 ** Regardless, better to have and not need than to need and not have (a Jumpstarter of any brand, just in general tbh)
I've done this with a Milwaukee M12, M18 and a Ridgid Octane 3.0 with some 14-2 copper wire and some leftover aluminum wire from a Tesla charging station that I found in the parking lot. I've also fried one of my Craftsman batteries because I got the polarities backwards
I work on the Canal and I had a guy jump start his boat with a drill battery. He did it the bare wire, non OSHA approved way. It totally worked and the battery light didn't even drop at all.
I have been using just a plain jane 18V batt-ray for jump starting with some 10 gauge wires with crocodile clips on each end. I just hook it up, wait about a minute, and it starts up a V8 with no problem. Now, this might not work well when there are other issues which require a rather long turnover of the engine to start. However, for a simple low charge condition, this works will without any fancy-pants special tool. I have used this on a variety of vehicles with success. It is just a 4AH Ridgid 18V that I use. Plus, I usually have a couple of these Ridgid 18vs with me, anyway, but have never needed more than one to rescue a vehicle that would not start.
funny how 27 years ago my wife got me a blue colored ryobi starter tool set.. and it was basically the cheapest bottom of barrel you could get back then. Used it for a couple years before I moved to dewalt and makita. But now, all of my tools are ryobi. Even my chop saw is ryobi now. I am blown away with the number and in most cases quality of the tools they are putting out. I recall a few years ago seeing a section of them at Home Depot and thinking why is home depot having a section of Ryobi tools. Then I saw the variety and was impressed. Got a 4 pack of batteries and a drill and some roto rooter like clog thingy.. then a few more and now its pretty much all I look at.
The larger Boosters you dont have to throw away you can just get a replacement battery from Batteries Plus they take motorcycle size lead acid batteries that you can replace with Lithium-Ion batteries for the heavy weight boosters Clint @Tool Review Zone
Those larger bulky boosters yes...the newer handheld portable Li-Ion jump packs are disposable from my understanding....but yep those older larger jump packs I've gotten free because the battery was junk, and did like you said and replaced the battery and used them for several years.
I have a lot of Dewalt and Milwaukee tools, but I’m also in the Ryobi line because they always have tools that others seem to be afraid to bring to market
@@-opus Great point. Kind of a fill in the gap option too....if your other platform don't have a tool you need, chances are another platform (Ryobi for example) might have that tool. I used to think having more than 1 platform was stupid, but anymore its kind of nice especially if something is on sale you need with 1 brand, if you already have the batteries and chargers for it, its a no-brainer.
I will be ordering one. I have everything RYOBI for personal and professional use and honestly they cover everything for me! I was excited as soon as saw the announcement. I will be adding this to my emergency kit. The big battery jumpers I still have and they use sealed 9ah NICD batteries inside. Those can be swapped if you know how to open them up. I still have a 20year jumper that had the batteries replaced many time over the years and works fine.
Ryobi has really upped their game the last few years. I got started in the Ryobi line because i received a 5-tool starter kit after moving in to my first house. this was back when they were blue and yellow and had NMH/NiCAD batteries. I stayed with Ryobi since the battery platform didn't change when they switch to Lithium batteries. I restore old cars and i have to say I love the new Brushless impacts, and the Ratchets. I have both the 38/and 1/2 impacts, and the 1/4 and 3/8 ratchets and they are top notch. saves me a ton of time. in fact, i don't even use my air tools much anymore. however, my first ratchet was defective from the factory and would not turn. but HD swapped it out, no questions asked. I have not tried the new Drills yet. but i have managed to kill 3 Ryobi drills in the last 5 years. I am hoping the new brushless HP one is better.
Haha I bought a cheapo 5 tool kit at a pawn shop and haven’t stopped upgrading, now I’ve got 40v mowers and trimmers and 18v everything else..and ryobi STANDS by their product 100%
My first Ryobi purchase was a fan and battery packs. The fan died 30 mins into using it. Returned it and got the smaller fan that sits on the homer bucket. It’s going good and the 6ah battery easily makes it all day at work on the job sites. I also got their hammer drill but wasn’t really that impressed with it or the ergos. I returned it
The wrench looks pretty cool. What I really like to see them do is come up with a programmable torque wrench style impact so you can set it for 60 foot pounds pull the trigger and it would just torque the bolts 60 pounds and make it like an impact wrench but adjustable so you can set what to torque it to
I started with the blue ryobi and replaced things as needed with the green and li ion batteries. Vs ni cad. The new stuff is great... I have the hammer drill, light, blower, hedge cutter, and the 18v 600 psi pressure washer. I used it for spraying. It's great.
Hmm, that might be something, but I think they went with the 18V battery because its more common, and more affordable...many people would come near having a Ryobi 18V battery pack than a 40V one would be my guess as to why they didn't go the 40V route....plus they'd need more electronics for voltage conversion I'm guessing. The air compressor would be a great idea too. Who knows what the future holds now though...they've got a basic start now, wouldn't be surprised if they build upon what they've got, add charging ports so you could use it as a portable power station....now that would be a great idea, and probably could justify that 40V platform by doing that mobile power station I could see a 40V battery being more useful in that type of application for a much longer run-time, or have the unit large enough to accommodate 2 of the 40V batteries...and maybe some port on it so you could recharge it via a solar panel if you are out camping and using it as a power station....and still have the jumper cables to use as a jumper pack if needed, but possibly have them removable with a quick plug of some sort. IDK, there are so many possibilities they can build from off that unit.
I agree....so many never carry jumper cables anymore, and so many cars now have no room for them, let alone a spare tire LOL. A jump pack is nice, that is if its charged. If Ryobi added a way to charge that from the power port in your car it would be a good feature to have too...maybe some sort of an alarm to alert people that the charge is getting low on the jump pack, if people tend to leave a battery in it. That's the issue with the regular jump packs they don't tell you when the battery is getting low so you can charge it, it just sits there silently dying and the only time you know it needs charged is when you go to use it and its dead LOL....I'm honestly surprised not a single one of the companies that make the jump packs, whether it be the larger ones, or the small ones that you can fit in your hand don't build some sort of audible alert into them kind of like the dang smoke alarms when the battery gets low they chirp....they should do something similar with these jump packs.
The jumper I'll wait till you get it free with 3 battery Ryobi day. The ratchet if it gets good reviews I'll grab quickly. Been holding off on ratchets because it would be a here and there tool. By being able to use 3 sizes it will be gold if it is solid. Thanks for video!
Hell, I wouldn't put it past Ryobi to do something like that...I mean they do have those battery powered portable Defibrillators that you see hanging on walls in some buildings now, so at this point I wouldn't be surprised if Ryobi came up with one LOL.
My wife bought me a Halo charger 4-5 years ago, it's a small lithium ion battery for phone charging and such, but it does have a jump start feature, which I've had to use on our minivan.
Perhaps this is the trial balloon for TTI, introduce it at the budget end, work out the bugs, then bring out the ultimate unit in the Milwaukee line. I would definitely buy one in the Ridgid or Milwaukee line, since those are the battery platforms I am already invested in.
I have a very small box by a brand called Halo that I used to jump start my van "that had no battery in it" for over 2 yrs. I could start my van about 30times on a full charge. It was small too "about the size of a vcr tape" and I would charge it with the van while driving. I think I paid about 60$ for it. It also has 2 usb ports to charge my phone. It is maybe 2amhs but uses a capacitor.
I've had an impact driver and drill from them for more than 10 years. I use it nearly every day for work and it's still going strong. My bil laughs and insists that his makita is "what a man uses". He's gone through a couple drivers in the same time.
this is bigger than huge, the biggest downfall of jump packs isn't the electronics, it's the short lifespan of the internal batteries. this ryobi jump pack turns the jump pack into just another cordless tool like your drill that you only provide battery power for when you actually need it, this ryobi jump pack literally makes all other jump packs obsolete.........
Ryobi is crushing the prosumer level of tools. Good quality for a reasonable cost. I'm curious to see this batt-ray charger when it comes out. 20 starts from a 2ah batt-ray?!?! Sounds like a challenge for ya Clint! The drawback to this thing if it does use a capacitor is it's a YUGE capacitor and those things can be a little flakey sometimes. I don't know of any other way they could do this, and the 60-second delay seems about right for the size of cap this thing must use. Thanks for the video!
It sounds like it’s using the full output of the battery for 60 seconds so it doesn’t matter if it’s a small battery because even the smallest battery will last for about five minutes at full output starting up the power and then giving you full output for 1 to 3 seconds is actually a tremendous amount of energy equivalent to what it would take The normal Battery to discharge it is something that was suggested to Ryobi 10 years ago back in 2011 it just took them a really long time to do it there are other products that have been suggested like a remote control snowblower and lawnmower also suggested in 2011 it just takes a really long time for them to figure it out thank you for your video it was a really good Video
Here in the UK Ryobi was always laughed at, low budget crap tools. I've always bought Bosch blue and they are great, but expensive, their 12v range is great. Recently there was an advert on TV for the patio moss cleaner at a reasonable price so I bought that and was impressed with the quality and it actually worked great. So next purchase was the 18v lawnmower + strimmer package and that exceeded expectations, yes the lawn mower eats the batteries, but I have bought a Bosch to Ryobi battery converter as I have loads of Bosch batteries and that works great. Now I have just purchased their pole chainsaw. They have definitely come a long way and really changed my opinion of them. I hope that starter becomes available in the UK as that would be great. Only downside of Ryobi is their charger is crap, unless you buy the quick charger.
I had the small 18V lawnmower (16") for a short time... it did the job, but there was a design flaw, in that it wouldn't latch well at the height I set. It was just for a short time, and I ultimately put in a spring that solved that problem. I own the pole saw... works great! Happy with my 20 or so Ryobi One+ devices! My fulltime lawnmower these days is a Kobalt (Lowes, made by Greenworks) 80V... that battery lasts a good while. 18V works for most things you could plug-in, but it's not a gas engine replacement. 80V gets you that gas power equivalent.
I'm a Milwaukee guy but i have a few Ryobi tools because of their value vs use vs cost factor.... I use adapters to run Milwaukee batteries in my ryobis so theyre super cheap. I'm buying this NO DOUBT ABOUT IT and hopefully it'll take my Milwaukee batteries
Im a proffesional, my core tools are all Makita but I use a Ryobi 18ga nailer and a Ryobi crown stapler with Badapters for makita batteries. I also have the Blower. I'm happy with all this stuff. Its cheap and cheerful and even some of my colleagues have tried them on site and aren't laughing anymore. The makita 18ga nailer isn't as versatile or as reliable (its crap) as the Ryobi and it's also £430, I paid £170 for the Ryobi. It's a no brainer
I would assume, the initial pause is the technology that has been required and what makes this actually work. It likely take the 18v, brings it down to 12v, but charges some decent capacitors to dump a full load of energy on crank. Waiting for rigid/Milwaukee to come out with their versions .
Love It! I have a small Lithium jump pack for my M/C but it's a pain to keep charged. I just bought the 3/8 long neck ratchet with the 3 battery special sale. Wish I'ld gotten something else now and then this ratchet.
That things huge. I’ll just stick to my NOCO Boost X. It’s 1/3 the size of that thing and 4250 amps. Good for 10 liter gas and all the way to 8 liter diesel. Never had any issues with it either.
About time the ratchet came to the US. It was available overseas years ago and I couldn't understand why it was never released here. No matter now since we can buy them. That jumper is slick, it seems a little pricey until one looks at what jumpers sell for.
one time when ryobi was blue 2006, i drove out of town to do a small job on a new built house so i took all my cordless tools including the ryobis long story short i forgot to turn my lights off on my 96 4x4x 4.0 ranger, after i finish the job and load everting to the truck bum dead battery .... stranded in the middle of nowhere, firs taught was to walk to the main road a few miles away an then i thought maybe i can use the batteries to jump start the truck they are 18v and the truck 12 should work; so i found some scrap of electrical wire and i had to choose between makita batteries or ryobis, i try the makita firs and nothing happened and used the ryobi and there it was the truck got to 12 v and start... slow but start. after that i have a real appreciation for ryobi tools.
Ive always liked my power tools, i have dewalt, ridgid, makita and ryobi. For my vusiness jve been using Ryobi more and more, plentiful batteries and the sheer abundance of tool options is really hard to pass up. Particularly at the price point.
Well it looks like I am going to own something besides milwaukee. And i see no reason any of them couldn't do it. Jump packs have been the bane of my existence, for just the reason you said. Jump packs just don't hold up. This is a game changer for sure.
@ToolReviewZone will do. I will get one the minute Home Depot gets them. I have a ton of M18 and M12 stuff that we use on the farm and love it. We have had tremendous luck put on their stuff, and most of it gets abused. Th I swore I would never have "dual platforms" again, we got rid of our dewalt stuff, but Ryobi is going to make a liar out of me. As you can imagine, having a farm we have plenty to jump start and I either forget to charge my jump pack or it just flakes out. I will sure let you know if it works because it will definitely get a lot of use from us. Great channel sir, really enjoy it.
That's actually a great idea, I've been looking at those little cheap no name brand ones, but I think I will wait, you can't be the only one thinking that and that's a good idea, I bet we see one soon.
I was looking at jump starters a couple weeks ago. Surprised no one makes an 18v jump starter so I was planning to get a small lithium jump starter so I’m glad I saw this first. I will definitely wait for this as it will be a welcome addition to the battery, impact wrench and inflator I already keep in the trunk. Might even wait for the holiday sales if I can. Thanks Clint!
@@billsedutto8824 Most definitely have, there's a reason most jumpers are only 12v though. A 12v Milwaukee battery will Jumpstart many vehicles without risk of damage.
@@bread-gz3rl The only one Dewalt is currently selling is a 20v and that’s not the same as a marketed 18v battery otherwise they would have separate 18v and 20v lines.
Judging from recent history, expect a m18 and Ridgid version within the next year or 2. Ryobi not Ryobi has essentially become the R&D/market research brand for TTI, and I’m not hating it lol. Like you say Clint, always keep a couple of Ryobi batteries around for tools like this.
This is Definitely a large capacitor being being charged by the battery packs. Great idea. I assume the bigger the battery the more jumps in a row you can do. Pretty cool 😎
Yeah no kidding, plus the only downside is that they dump all their energy at one go. If you have to crank something over more than a few times ur screwed
Yeah, I don’t know why the manufactures would say this couldn’t be done. Those Nocho boost things are tiny with tiny batteries and they work fine they work really good. Anybody working on automotive stuff in the field would love this you can have your impact wrenches and other tools with you and already have the batteries ready to go. It would’ve been cool if they integrated a tire compressor like most of the jump packs have as well. I don’t think the battery size matters much. And the Nocho boost it’s using tiny batteries. 4 A or 20 A isn’t close to what you need to start a car so it’s probably using capacitors that charge for a few seconds then you put it in boost mode and it really is a bursts of high amp power. Most cars need at least three or 400, even my lawnmower has 300 A and it’s a little battery and none of the tool batteries have that so it’s using some sort of capacitor to store, energy and release it quickly at a higher amperage and 12 V, so the battery size doesn’t matter. It would just be the number of times you could boost or jump a battery but even a little two hour power battery should work as well as a six or eight amp hour battery. My only complaint about this is the price. I can get a jump pack that needs to be charged separately but I can get those for 60 or 80 bucks times. I got one at Harbor freight and it works great and I ordered one of the small Nocho boost style jump packs Off of Amazon for 55 bucks and it works great as well so 179 is a bit of a stretch with this, the only real advantage I see is that it uses the Ryobi batteries today which means five years down the road it’s still gonna be good the $60 one from Harbor Freight is gonna be toast in three or four years and you’ll just throw it away and replace it. But I would buy this if they can get the price down, maybe after it’s been on the market or they get some competition they’ll bring it down come off they can get it at 99 bucks. I think it would be a good seller but at this point it’s a Ryobi fan who would buy it, because there are much better jump packs for under 100 bucks already.
I have jump boxes and they work great. The problem is when they need charging ,I forget they are charged and do not realize it until I need to use it. This unit would help with my short attention span by just swapping batteries and putting back in vehicle. Ryobi is becoming my most predominate platform with all the clearances at HD. Home depot had the 18 gauge air strike marked down to 29 bucks and the hot glue gun for big sticks foe 13. The 3 HP battery kit was marked down almost to the price of the 2 pack with charger. long story short came out with 2 nail guns and a glue gun with the batteries for just a little less than the sale price of the 3 battery kit.
Okay, I have to give it to Ryobi, not Reeobi, for the jump pack,. it would be perfect if it had an inflator built in. The only problem is it's too expensive! As far as the ratchet, I can always use a socket adapter, I'd rather see a pass-through socket head like TTI used to make for Craftsman.
Only -4 basically you need it around when it gets cold here. Hell in SD here you can go for a week when it don't go over 0. It needs to work when it goes -20 to -30.
This has been around for a while. Just not with a removable battery. Actually mine used the vehicles battery to charge up the caps and then jump the vehicle with its own power. They’ll use capacitors. What I’ve found is that say you had a 6.0 v8 and it had been sitting for a while And battery was completely flat is that it won’t have enough juice to get it to crank over. You may get a couple rotations of the starter but it’ll die out and be very hot haha. Also mine had internal batteries that are the same 18650 style cylinder battery that are in all the interchangeable battery packs. Let’s just say they didn’t last long at all. Less then a year and I wasn’t even using it on a shop level. Now I just use it to jump off smaller vehicles that aren’t completely dead.
Black and Decker and lots of others have made these for well over 10-15 years. And you don't even need batteries. They charge themselves directly plugged into the wall. And they have an air compressor, USB ports, 12V plug, (2) 110 outlets (500W power) and a work light for $139.00
They have small lead acid batteries inside them. So they have a pretty limited life span, especially when not properly charged. They still have their place for sure as a cheap option to keep in the car, much safer than the new lithium based jump starters in those conditions in my opinion.
@@todd2456 I have no doubt it still works, but I guarantee the capacity is a fraction of what it was and the voltage won't be as high. Most people don't need 1600 amps to jump their cars, usually 100-200 amps is fine.
The ratchet is a nice idea. Didn't someone else just introduce a ratchet with interchangeable anvils? The only negative aspect to this tool is the big L-shaped form factor required by the battery. A lot of ratchets from the other manufacturers are a bit large. My preference is a Milwaukee M12 ratchet. The M12 battery form factor makes for a very compact tool.
Great video! Yep, part of the 18v One Plus not One Plus HP... Question, do you know when the new Ryobi spot cleaner will be on the market and will you be doing a review of it anytime soon?
I know a contractor who bought a Ryobi calking-gun (before other brands offered them) I thought he was nuts..... until he told me he was on a job to build a metal building where EVERY seam had to be calked as they assembled it. (frozen warehouse) After the other guys saw how it worked, they all went out and bought their own Ryobi calking-gun.😊
It's great even just for long seams
I'm a Sparky and those things are a necessity for sealing stud penetrations.
I've got a no-name pneumatic caulking gun, they are spectacular for long runs and when you have to apply a lot of caulking. But do not forget to adjust the air pressure down to only a few pounds. I forgot and left it at 135#, and it emptied a significant portion of the tube, like a fire hose, before I was aware enough to release the trigger. It was like a silly string can of caulking, no fun to clean up.
@@8180634 LMAO! That would of been a sight to see!
I got one of those because i'm lazy but still manage to DIY everything. WORTH IT!
The jump starter probably uses a capacitor to perform the jump start, which would explain the delay for "priming". It probably charges a large capacitor from the battery, then jumps the car from the capacitor. This is probably also how they are able to perform the same from a small 2ah battery.
Which is smart, IMO.
I was thinking the same thing
took the words out of my mouth.
Beat me to it. But seriously, this is genius.
Agreed. I'm curious how much this is going to cost. Save some cost because of the external battery, add some cost for capacitors (and the additional size and complexity).
Smart comment too.
Also, this might explain the "anti spark" technology. No juice to the terminals until the cap is primed.
I bought the Ryobi cordless soldering station which other companies also have not brought to market, its the best soldering experience I have ever used, and I have been soldering for 55 years
Ryobi is killing it. Like damn, they’re making every damn thing.
It's crazy right Christopher 👊
They are sure pumping out a lot of garbage that's for sure
Bet you they won't make a submersible
Too soon? My bad.
@@sanfranatic1never too soon
Some in my family gave me crap for buying Ryobi not Ryobi tools but I have always loved them and had no issues. Hard for them to ignore the brand now with the tools they continue to put out.
I've never had an issue with any Ryobi tools I've owned or used over the years...just back when they had the Ni-Cad batteries they didn't hold a charge nearly as long as today's Li-Ion batteries, and the Li-Ion batteries charge much faster with today's charger technology LOL.
You are absolutely correct! Their niche tools is the reason I first purchased a Ryobi battery... namely for the Ryobi PEX pinch ring tool. It is a game changer for installing PEX.
Ooh like I wasn't sold already...
I'm so glad I changed over to Ryobi 18V. I used a drill and impact from a friend who had regular Ryobi. Then when I saw what other tools they had available, I converted. They make almost everything. Their variety of air pumps, now this, along with fans, I'm loving it. I can't wait for their battery flash lights that run off their small Lithuim batteries. Plus don't foget they had several inverters that run/charge the batteries form 18v line.
I think they've got those 4V flashlights now maybe? It seems they've been expanding that 4V line with some what looks to be very useful stuff. I just hope they keep with it and don't discontinue it.
As a Heavy Duty Diesel tech most all my cordless tools are Ryobi from my hex gun to my 1/2 impact. I have had most of them for 5 years+ along with a few Snap On cordless tool, I have had no issue with my Ryobi tools but have had to have the Snap On tools sent back for repairs (not cheep). One of the tools I use daily is my 1/2 impact (Ryobi) and a 1/4 ratchet (Snap on) if the ratchet were to die I would pick up the new one from Ryobi. Part of what I like about Ryobi tools they get the job done, they don't brake the bank, and the interchanging the batteries.
Doing what you do, puts some heavy loads on the tools too, so if they can handle the loads you put on them, that should say they're pretty dang good, and the price point makes them available to many entry level people and DIYers.
I appreciate what you guys do, you keep the big stuff moving like it should....thanks for all the hard work you do....yep, oftentimes trades in general are looked down upon, but people like you are what keep things going and keep things moving.
For what I do I wouldn't waste money on Snap-On, Mac, etc....the regular old off the shelf box store tools get the job done, but nothing wrong with the cool tools when you are out using them all day long and count on them for an income.
Jump starter. Tire Inflator. led lights. Impact wrench. Add a powered jack (I guess the driver could turn it), a code reader and a nicely organized case and you've got an all in one roadside kit
I'd add a 12v charger for the batt-ray in that kit 😊 Just gotta remember to top it off once every few months
I have had a 'super capacitor' starting-unit for several years now... it requires SEPARATE power to charge it before use. (several minutes) This new Ryobi starting-unit takes it step further and allows using Ryobi-brand batteries to precharge the 'super capacitor' before use. As you may be aware, a capacitor has the ability to charge/discharge at 100s of Amps....hence this gives it the speed of charge/discharge which batteries cannot match.
I have a jump starter that doesn’t even require a battery. It works with super capacitors and uses whatever charge is in the car battery to charge the capacitors. If the car battery is 6 volt or greater it can charge the jump-starter. The lower the battery voltage the longer it takes to charge. Works great as long as the car will start properly.
I have 2 DeWalt tools ( a 3/8” drill and 1/4” impact) and 10 Ryobi tools . Building on that brand as they are cheaper and as good or better the the previous. I owned a starter/alternator manufacturing company and just before we sold and retired we were considering a battery less jump pack. At that was needed was at least 4 volts and up to 4-5 minutes to charge a capacitor inside from the dead battery. This uses a 18+ one + battery to do the same thing. VERY SMART.
I have ALOT of Ryobi cordless tools(18 & 40V) and they are awesome. I’m a retired aircraft mechanic(also works on cars) and they get the job done for far less money than the other brands. Highly recommend Ryobi products.
Point of clarification - Duramax, Cummins, and Powerstroke are all 6.7L. Plus they are diesel-level compression. However, if there is at least some juice left in the onboard batteries (enough to slow-crank it), this still might still be useful, as it can push a 'slow crank' over to starting.
Um sorry but DURAMAX is a 6.6 … opsie
@@06dirtyblackoh no 100cc of displacement lol
I'll be getting a couple jumpstarters. One for me and some for my kids, nieces and nephews... ryobi inflator comes in handy too.. some cool, useful items to keep in the trunk of your car
Love my Ryobi not reeobi tools and bought mine specifically so I could have all the tools I could need for my van build and use the same battery. They also are always coming up with new and great solutions for camping which fits the Vanlife.
Really cool stuff from Ryobi. The brand has really taken off in the last decade, great to see. Paired with Husky hand tools and the like, I have had no problems tackling most of my DIY/homeowner projects.
I still have a Husky socket set from like 15 years ago, I can't remember now how many pieces it is, but its a 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" set....love it because its in a nice hard case that folds up and snaps closed and easily carried around. Amazingly enough all the sockets are still there LOL...and all 3 ratchets still do ratchet things LOL.
I recently picked up one of the Husky 26" rolling 5 drawer tool chests that I put all my air tools in and cleared out some space in my old US General 44" tool chest that's become overfilled with tools over the years LOL.
Now that I have Ryobi stuff I guess I need to buy a green tool chest HAHA!!!
I don't know why the brands thought this was impossible. I have a battery jump starter in my truck that works great and the entire unit is less than half the size of my EGO battery for my trimmer. I tried it out when I first got it. I pulled the batter out of my 4.0L Ranger and started it using the jumper 11 times in a row off of one charge. It's about 9x5x1.5 inches and weighs maybe two pounds. It fits in the glove box.
My guess is that they just assumed something that tried to jump the vehicle directly from the tool battery without some form of intermediate storage. I'm pretty sure this has its own internal storage optimized for the specific task, and the 18v tool battery is only for recharging that.
Idk but I’ve used my battery to jump my car many times, just jumper cable straight to the battery let it sit 30 sec if it doesn’t instantly crank then try again, saved me too many times
@@Entropy512 They probably use something similar to a capacitor to store the power to provide the "jump start", that's how most of these types of devices work in some way, shape, or form....it ain't getting that kind of amperage straight from a 2AH battery LOL....which is all the Ryobi Jump Pack comes with if you get the kit is just a 2AH battery. That's why even on the handheld Li-Ion ones there's a bit of a delay after you hit the boost/jump button before its ready for you to crank the engine over. Takes a moment or a couple to charge the capacitor first.
That jump starter will be awesome. I find myself starting to like Ryobi better as days go on with their engnewity. you know Milwaukee could have put out first but the price would be 500.00
Not wrong about that Rick 👊
Years ago I laughed at a guy 20 years ago. I told him the only difference between his DeWalt and my Ryobi is if I leave mine out I can come back and it will still be there. Always outworked the guy and never looked back. Finding Ryobi tools a treat at yard sales where homeowners don’t know the value. Just got the best weed wacker for $15
DeWalt has a jump starter similar to this. It's been out for about a year now. The model number is DXAE20VBB
I've had one a portable Jumpstarter for years, they're genuinely underrated. I think part of the reason for why they've held out for so long with it, is more to do with the design.
It sounds dumb, but I mean it in the literal sense, so for example in my case it's a DBPower jumostarter, it looks like a slim brick. However, it's use is limited to charging & jump starting (sure the flash light, eh).
Whereas with this, it's great to see! Yes, it is considerably bulkier.. But - adding a utility device such as a Jumpstarter to your battery/platform - is precisely the kind of "squeezing" the juice from the lemons ya have. It doesn't need to fly off shelves, it's the fact they did it, that atleast communicates to me - that there'll be more cool & dope stuff to come regardless of your niche. Awesome! 🤘🏽
** Regardless, better to have and not need than to need and not have (a Jumpstarter of any brand, just in general tbh)
I've done this with a Milwaukee M12, M18 and a Ridgid Octane 3.0 with some 14-2 copper wire and some leftover aluminum wire from a Tesla charging station that I found in the parking lot. I've also fried one of my Craftsman batteries because I got the polarities backwards
I work on the Canal and I had a guy jump start his boat with a drill battery. He did it the bare wire, non OSHA approved way. It totally worked and the battery light didn't even drop at all.
I have been using just a plain jane 18V batt-ray for jump starting with some 10 gauge wires with crocodile clips on each end. I just hook it up, wait about a minute, and it starts up a V8 with no problem. Now, this might not work well when there are other issues which require a rather long turnover of the engine to start. However, for a simple low charge condition, this works will without any fancy-pants special tool. I have used this on a variety of vehicles with success. It is just a 4AH Ridgid 18V that I use. Plus, I usually have a couple of these Ridgid 18vs with me, anyway, but have never needed more than one to rescue a vehicle that would not start.
What a sweet game changer for ryobi jump starters of a small size helps a ton
ive used the direct 18-20 volt battery from many brands to jump start vehicles. there always a great back up if your in a jam.
funny how 27 years ago my wife got me a blue colored ryobi starter tool set.. and it was basically the cheapest bottom of barrel you could get back then. Used it for a couple years before I moved to dewalt and makita. But now, all of my tools are ryobi. Even my chop saw is ryobi now. I am blown away with the number and in most cases quality of the tools they are putting out. I recall a few years ago seeing a section of them at Home Depot and thinking why is home depot having a section of Ryobi tools. Then I saw the variety and was impressed. Got a 4 pack of batteries and a drill and some roto rooter like clog thingy.. then a few more and now its pretty much all I look at.
The larger Boosters you dont have to throw away you can just get a replacement battery from Batteries Plus they take motorcycle size lead acid batteries that you can replace with Lithium-Ion batteries for the heavy weight boosters Clint @Tool Review Zone
Those larger bulky boosters yes...the newer handheld portable Li-Ion jump packs are disposable from my understanding....but yep those older larger jump packs I've gotten free because the battery was junk, and did like you said and replaced the battery and used them for several years.
Exactly @@wildbill23c
I have a lot of Dewalt and Milwaukee tools, but I’m also in the Ryobi line because they always have tools that others seem to be afraid to bring to market
They often make sense as a second platform, not every tool you use has to be top of the line.
@@-opus Great point. Kind of a fill in the gap option too....if your other platform don't have a tool you need, chances are another platform (Ryobi for example) might have that tool.
I used to think having more than 1 platform was stupid, but anymore its kind of nice especially if something is on sale you need with 1 brand, if you already have the batteries and chargers for it, its a no-brainer.
I will be ordering one. I have everything RYOBI for personal and professional use and honestly they cover everything for me! I was excited as soon as saw the announcement. I will be adding this to my emergency kit.
The big battery jumpers I still have and they use sealed 9ah NICD batteries inside. Those can be swapped if you know how to open them up. I still have a 20year jumper that had the batteries replaced many time over the years and works fine.
I've jumped my truck with a milwaukee m12 battery once, worked like a charm. Put it back in my impact driver and still had 3bars lol
Appreciate this info. Pretty cool indeed 👊
Awesome video Clint appreciate the information @Tool Review Zone
Ryobi has really upped their game the last few years. I got started in the Ryobi line because i received a 5-tool starter kit after moving in to my first house. this was back when they were blue and yellow and had NMH/NiCAD batteries. I stayed with Ryobi since the battery platform didn't change when they switch to Lithium batteries. I restore old cars and i have to say I love the new Brushless impacts, and the Ratchets. I have both the 38/and 1/2 impacts, and the 1/4 and 3/8 ratchets and they are top notch. saves me a ton of time. in fact, i don't even use my air tools much anymore. however, my first ratchet was defective from the factory and would not turn. but HD swapped it out, no questions asked. I have not tried the new Drills yet. but i have managed to kill 3 Ryobi drills in the last 5 years. I am hoping the new brushless HP one is better.
Haha I bought a cheapo 5 tool kit at a pawn shop and haven’t stopped upgrading, now I’ve got 40v mowers and trimmers and 18v everything else..and ryobi STANDS by their product 100%
My first Ryobi purchase was a fan and battery packs. The fan died 30 mins into using it. Returned it and got the smaller fan that sits on the homer bucket. It’s going good and the 6ah battery easily makes it all day at work on the job sites. I also got their hammer drill but wasn’t really that impressed with it or the ergos. I returned it
Ryobi not Reoby every time you said this i cracked up. lmao
The wrench looks pretty cool. What I really like to see them do is come up with a programmable torque wrench style impact so you can set it for 60 foot pounds pull the trigger and it would just torque the bolts 60 pounds and make it like an impact wrench but adjustable so you can set what to torque it to
That would be cool I'm sure not something cheap though.
I started with the blue ryobi and replaced things as needed with the green and li ion batteries. Vs ni cad.
The new stuff is great...
I have the hammer drill, light, blower, hedge cutter, and the 18v 600 psi pressure washer. I used it for spraying. It's great.
can we use it as a defib?
I would love to see a 40V version. Also maybe add an air compressor. The -4 F could be an issue for those of us in Northern climates.
Or maybe one that can use one or two 18v batteries.
We all have more than one 18v batteries......lol
Hmm, that might be something, but I think they went with the 18V battery because its more common, and more affordable...many people would come near having a Ryobi 18V battery pack than a 40V one would be my guess as to why they didn't go the 40V route....plus they'd need more electronics for voltage conversion I'm guessing.
The air compressor would be a great idea too. Who knows what the future holds now though...they've got a basic start now, wouldn't be surprised if they build upon what they've got, add charging ports so you could use it as a portable power station....now that would be a great idea, and probably could justify that 40V platform by doing that mobile power station I could see a 40V battery being more useful in that type of application for a much longer run-time, or have the unit large enough to accommodate 2 of the 40V batteries...and maybe some port on it so you could recharge it via a solar panel if you are out camping and using it as a power station....and still have the jumper cables to use as a jumper pack if needed, but possibly have them removable with a quick plug of some sort. IDK, there are so many possibilities they can build from off that unit.
60 seconds is better than waiting for AAA or asking a stranger to jump my car. Im all over this. im buying multiple for 3 of my vehicles
I agree....so many never carry jumper cables anymore, and so many cars now have no room for them, let alone a spare tire LOL.
A jump pack is nice, that is if its charged. If Ryobi added a way to charge that from the power port in your car it would be a good feature to have too...maybe some sort of an alarm to alert people that the charge is getting low on the jump pack, if people tend to leave a battery in it.
That's the issue with the regular jump packs they don't tell you when the battery is getting low so you can charge it, it just sits there silently dying and the only time you know it needs charged is when you go to use it and its dead LOL....I'm honestly surprised not a single one of the companies that make the jump packs, whether it be the larger ones, or the small ones that you can fit in your hand don't build some sort of audible alert into them kind of like the dang smoke alarms when the battery gets low they chirp....they should do something similar with these jump packs.
The jumper I'll wait till you get it free with 3 battery Ryobi day. The ratchet if it gets good reviews I'll grab quickly. Been holding off on ratchets because it would be a here and there tool. By being able to use 3 sizes it will be gold if it is solid. Thanks for video!
Wow I just tried a shumacher 600 peak it didn't do anything. just seemed like it drained more of my battery lol. I'm grabbing this asap! Thanks Boss!
Can’t wait for them to come out with the defibrillator paddle option. Clear…..😂
Hell, I wouldn't put it past Ryobi to do something like that...I mean they do have those battery powered portable Defibrillators that you see hanging on walls in some buildings now, so at this point I wouldn't be surprised if Ryobi came up with one LOL.
My wife bought me a Halo charger 4-5 years ago, it's a small lithium ion battery for phone charging and such, but it does have a jump start feature, which I've had to use on our minivan.
I like Ryobi. I have one of their lawn mowers(5 yrs), snow blower(4 yrs) and countless others, all on batteries.
I love the company & their products.. I wish they'd bring back the garage door opener.
Perhaps this is the trial balloon for TTI, introduce it at the budget end, work out the bugs, then bring out the ultimate unit in the Milwaukee line. I would definitely buy one in the Ridgid or Milwaukee line, since those are the battery platforms I am already invested in.
I have a very small box by a brand called Halo that I used to jump start my van "that had no battery in it" for over 2 yrs. I could start my van about 30times on a full charge. It was small too "about the size of a vcr tape" and I would charge it with the van while driving. I think I paid about 60$ for it. It also has 2 usb ports to charge my phone. It is maybe 2amhs but uses a capacitor.
I seen these just before yours but the added interaction is much preferred 👌Keep the news coming and Ryobi is making harder for me to leave lol
I've had an impact driver and drill from them for more than 10 years. I use it nearly every day for work and it's still going strong. My bil laughs and insists that his makita is "what a man uses". He's gone through a couple drivers in the same time.
It's not the how long it last, its the power part. Ryobi tends not to have enough balls for the demanding stuff.
I’ve been using Mikita 18V 3Ah battery and 2 wires to jump my cars, ATV and a generator for years now
this is bigger than huge, the biggest downfall of jump packs isn't the electronics, it's the short lifespan of the internal batteries. this ryobi jump pack turns the jump pack into just another cordless tool like your drill that you only provide battery power for when you actually need it, this ryobi jump pack literally makes all other jump packs obsolete.........
Good afternoon and thank you , you have the link to this ratchet?
Got to love super capacitors
Ryobi is crushing the prosumer level of tools. Good quality for a reasonable cost. I'm curious to see this batt-ray charger when it comes out. 20 starts from a 2ah batt-ray?!?! Sounds like a challenge for ya Clint! The drawback to this thing if it does use a capacitor is it's a YUGE capacitor and those things can be a little flakey sometimes. I don't know of any other way they could do this, and the 60-second delay seems about right for the size of cap this thing must use. Thanks for the video!
It is september 2023 and I cant find it on my nearby home depot... when it is supposed to be released?
Just seen that this morning from Ryobi, I am going to try that one
It sounds like it’s using the full output of the battery for 60 seconds so it doesn’t matter if it’s a small battery because even the smallest battery will last for about five minutes at full output starting up the power and then giving you full output for 1 to 3 seconds is actually a tremendous amount of energy equivalent to what it would take The normal Battery to discharge it is something that was suggested to Ryobi 10 years ago back in 2011 it just took them a really long time to do it there are other products that have been suggested like a remote control snowblower and lawnmower also suggested in 2011 it just takes a really long time for them to figure it out thank you for your video it was a really good Video
Jump starter is freaking aweeeeeesome
I have the jump starter and it works flawlessly.
Great tool! Just waiting for a paint sprayer from Ryobi!
Here in the UK Ryobi was always laughed at, low budget crap tools. I've always bought Bosch blue and they are great, but expensive, their 12v range is great. Recently there was an advert on TV for the patio moss cleaner at a reasonable price so I bought that and was impressed with the quality and it actually worked great. So next purchase was the 18v lawnmower + strimmer package and that exceeded expectations, yes the lawn mower eats the batteries, but I have bought a Bosch to Ryobi battery converter as I have loads of Bosch batteries and that works great. Now I have just purchased their pole chainsaw. They have definitely come a long way and really changed my opinion of them. I hope that starter becomes available in the UK as that would be great. Only downside of Ryobi is their charger is crap, unless you buy the quick charger.
I had the small 18V lawnmower (16") for a short time... it did the job, but there was a design flaw, in that it wouldn't latch well at the height I set. It was just for a short time, and I ultimately put in a spring that solved that problem. I own the pole saw... works great! Happy with my 20 or so Ryobi One+ devices! My fulltime lawnmower these days is a Kobalt (Lowes, made by Greenworks) 80V... that battery lasts a good while. 18V works for most things you could plug-in, but it's not a gas engine replacement. 80V gets you that gas power equivalent.
I'm a Milwaukee guy but i have a few Ryobi tools because of their value vs use vs cost factor.... I use adapters to run Milwaukee batteries in my ryobis so theyre super cheap. I'm buying this NO DOUBT ABOUT IT and hopefully it'll take my Milwaukee batteries
I love the Hulkman. I keep that in both our vehicles at all times. It’s small. Can fit in glovebox or center console.
Im a proffesional, my core tools are all Makita but I use a Ryobi 18ga nailer and a Ryobi crown stapler with Badapters for makita batteries. I also have the Blower. I'm happy with all this stuff. Its cheap and cheerful and even some of my colleagues have tried them on site and aren't laughing anymore. The makita 18ga nailer isn't as versatile or as reliable (its crap) as the Ryobi and it's also £430, I paid £170 for the Ryobi. It's a no brainer
I would assume, the initial pause is the technology that has been required and what makes this actually work. It likely take the 18v, brings it down to 12v, but charges some decent capacitors to dump a full load of energy on crank.
Waiting for rigid/Milwaukee to come out with their versions .
Love It! I have a small Lithium jump pack for my M/C but it's a pain to keep charged.
I just bought the 3/8 long neck ratchet with the 3 battery special sale. Wish I'ld gotten something else now and then this ratchet.
Honestly they just proved why i love Ryobi tools that ratchet replaces all 3 of the ones that i normally Carry
That things huge. I’ll just stick to my NOCO Boost X. It’s 1/3 the size of that thing and 4250 amps. Good for 10 liter gas and all the way to 8 liter diesel. Never had any issues with it either.
I admire Ryobi for making so many different things, but I still love the reliability of my DeWalt 20v platform.
Cool. Love ryobi. Looks like a new tool to buy. I really like how lightweight they are.
Definitely will consider the jump starter. For sure a game changer!
Like the JUMP STARTER just wish the bare tool was about $150 I already have 8 batteries
About time the ratchet came to the US. It was available overseas years ago and I couldn't understand why it was never released here. No matter now since we can buy them. That jumper is slick, it seems a little pricey until one looks at what jumpers sell for.
I’m very happy with my NOCO GBX45 at 1250 amps, now I’m interested with RYOBI’s jump starter,
Smeeesh that like button. 👀👉🏽 👍🏽
Always appreciate the feedback back brotha, and thanks for the SMEEESH Jason!!!!
one time when ryobi was blue 2006, i drove out of town to do a small job on a new built house so i took all my cordless tools including the ryobis long story short i forgot to turn my lights off on my 96 4x4x 4.0 ranger, after i finish the job and load everting to the truck bum dead battery .... stranded in the middle of nowhere, firs taught was to walk to the main road a few miles away an then i thought maybe i can use the batteries to jump start the truck they are 18v and the truck 12 should work; so i found some scrap of electrical wire and i had to choose between makita batteries or ryobis, i try the makita firs and nothing happened and used the ryobi and there it was the truck got to 12 v and start... slow but start. after that i have a real appreciation for ryobi tools.
Ive always liked my power tools, i have dewalt, ridgid, makita and ryobi. For my vusiness jve been using Ryobi more and more, plentiful batteries and the sheer abundance of tool options is really hard to pass up. Particularly at the price point.
Their little pistol style tire pump has been a life saver for me and my business.
Well it looks like I am going to own something besides milwaukee. And i see no reason any of them couldn't do it. Jump packs have been the bane of my existence, for just the reason you said. Jump packs just don't hold up. This is a game changer for sure.
Let me know how you likenit if you get it pitpatrol 👊👊👊
@ToolReviewZone will do. I will get one the minute Home Depot gets them. I have a ton of M18 and M12 stuff that we use on the farm and love it. We have had tremendous luck put on their stuff, and most of it gets abused.
Th
I swore I would never have "dual platforms" again, we got rid of our dewalt stuff, but Ryobi is going to make a liar out of me. As you can imagine, having a farm we have plenty to jump start and I either forget to charge my jump pack or it just flakes out. I will sure let you know if it works because it will definitely get a lot of use from us. Great channel sir, really enjoy it.
Now all we need is for Ryobi to make battery powered car jack
That certainly would be neat and useful especially for women and Senior Citizens
That's actually a great idea, I've been looking at those little cheap no name brand ones, but I think I will wait, you can't be the only one thinking that and that's a good idea, I bet we see one soon.
I was looking at jump starters a couple weeks ago. Surprised no one makes an 18v jump starter so I was planning to get a small lithium jump starter so I’m glad I saw this first. I will definitely wait for this as it will be a welcome addition to the battery, impact wrench and inflator I already keep in the trunk. Might even wait for the holiday sales if I can. Thanks Clint!
12v system getting jumped by an 18v can damage some important electrical components.
@@thalegacy6 Ever heard of a voltage adaptor? It’s that brick you plus a laptop into. The jumper isn’t going to output 18v.
@@billsedutto8824 Most definitely have, there's a reason most jumpers are only 12v though. A 12v Milwaukee battery will Jumpstart many vehicles without risk of damage.
Dewalt has one
@@bread-gz3rl The only one Dewalt is currently selling is a 20v and that’s not the same as a marketed 18v battery otherwise they would have separate 18v and 20v lines.
That power wrench...does it have the ability to torque to specific settings or no? If it did then when can i buy it?
Judging from recent history, expect a m18 and Ridgid version within the next year or 2. Ryobi not Ryobi has essentially become the R&D/market research brand for TTI, and I’m not hating it lol. Like you say Clint, always keep a couple of Ryobi batteries around for tools like this.
This is Definitely a large capacitor being being charged by the battery packs. Great idea. I assume the bigger the battery the more jumps in a row you can do. Pretty cool 😎
Or until u burn out the capacitor lol
Yeah no kidding, plus the only downside is that they dump all their energy at one go. If you have to crank something over more than a few times ur screwed
Yeah, I don’t know why the manufactures would say this couldn’t be done. Those Nocho boost things are tiny with tiny batteries and they work fine they work really good. Anybody working on automotive stuff in the field would love this you can have your impact wrenches and other tools with you and already have the batteries ready to go. It would’ve been cool if they integrated a tire compressor like most of the jump packs have as well.
I don’t think the battery size matters much. And the Nocho boost it’s using tiny batteries. 4 A or 20 A isn’t close to what you need to start a car so it’s probably using capacitors that charge for a few seconds then you put it in boost mode and it really is a bursts of high amp power. Most cars need at least three or 400, even my lawnmower has 300 A and it’s a little battery and none of the tool batteries have that so it’s using some sort of capacitor to store, energy and release it quickly at a higher amperage and 12 V, so the battery size doesn’t matter. It would just be the number of times you could boost or jump a battery but even a little two hour power battery should work as well as a six or eight amp hour battery.
My only complaint about this is the price. I can get a jump pack that needs to be charged separately but I can get those for 60 or 80 bucks times. I got one at Harbor freight and it works great and I ordered one of the small Nocho boost style jump packs Off of Amazon for 55 bucks and it works great as well so 179 is a bit of a stretch with this, the only real advantage I see is that it uses the Ryobi batteries today which means five years down the road it’s still gonna be good the $60 one from Harbor Freight is gonna be toast in three or four years and you’ll just throw it away and replace it. But I would buy this if they can get the price down, maybe after it’s been on the market or they get some competition they’ll bring it down come off they can get it at 99 bucks. I think it would be a good seller but at this point it’s a Ryobi fan who would buy it, because there are much better jump packs for under 100 bucks already.
I jump start my van with a milwaukee m18 1.5 ah battery on after market fly lead milwaukee battery converter works like a dream
I actually emailed them asking them to make this but I was hoping for the 40V version.
I have jump boxes and they work great. The problem is when they need charging ,I forget they are charged and do not realize it until I need to use it. This unit would help with my short attention span by just swapping batteries and putting back in vehicle. Ryobi is becoming my most predominate platform with all the clearances at HD. Home depot had the 18 gauge air strike marked down to 29 bucks and the hot glue gun for big sticks foe 13. The 3 HP battery kit was marked down almost to the price of the 2 pack with charger. long story short came out with 2 nail guns and a glue gun with the batteries for just a little less than the sale price of the 3 battery kit.
Okay, I have to give it to Ryobi, not Reeobi, for the jump pack,. it would be perfect if it had an inflator built in. The only problem is it's too expensive! As far as the ratchet, I can always use a socket adapter, I'd rather see a pass-through socket head like TTI used to make for Craftsman.
Only -4 basically you need it around when it gets cold here. Hell in SD here you can go for a week when it don't go over 0. It needs to work when it goes -20 to -30.
This is really impressive. Makes sense as a Ryobi as that is a consumer brand.
This has been around for a while. Just not with a removable battery.
Actually mine used the vehicles battery to charge up the caps and then jump the vehicle with its own power.
They’ll use capacitors.
What I’ve found is that say you had a 6.0 v8 and it had been sitting for a while
And battery was completely flat is that it won’t have enough juice to get it to crank over.
You may get a couple rotations of the starter but it’ll die out and be very hot haha.
Also mine had internal batteries that are the same 18650 style cylinder battery that are in all the interchangeable battery packs.
Let’s just say they didn’t last long at all. Less then a year and I wasn’t even using it on a shop level.
Now I just use it to jump off smaller vehicles that aren’t completely dead.
I’m looking forward to owning this jump starter, I own some RYOBI.
Me too 👊
Black and Decker and lots of others have made these for well over 10-15 years. And you don't even need batteries. They charge themselves directly plugged into the wall. And they have an air compressor, USB ports, 12V plug, (2) 110 outlets (500W power) and a work light for $139.00
They have small lead acid batteries inside them. So they have a pretty limited life span, especially when not properly charged. They still have their place for sure as a cheap option to keep in the car, much safer than the new lithium based jump starters in those conditions in my opinion.
@@Brandon_Neil I've had mine for about 10 years. Still works.
@@todd2456 I have no doubt it still works, but I guarantee the capacity is a fraction of what it was and the voltage won't be as high. Most people don't need 1600 amps to jump their cars, usually 100-200 amps is fine.
@@Brandon_Neil Well, it still jumps a car and does all the other stuff and I paid $99 for it back in the day.
It’s huge!!!! Noco surely already have this solution.
The ratchet is a nice idea. Didn't someone else just introduce a ratchet with interchangeable anvils? The only negative aspect to this tool is the big L-shaped form factor required by the battery. A lot of ratchets from the other manufacturers are a bit large. My preference is a Milwaukee M12 ratchet. The M12 battery form factor makes for a very compact tool.
I can hardly wait till the ratchet becomes available. That will make junkyard picking so much easier.
Love it ❤. Jump starters with internal batteries always go bad
Ill be buying one of those !! I have 11 - 18 volt batteries over the years
Great video! Yep, part of the 18v One Plus not One Plus HP... Question, do you know when the new Ryobi spot cleaner will be on the market and will you be doing a review of it anytime soon?
