I been a framer for a few years now, we have a 12 inch Bosch miter sliding saw and the sliding mechanism works really well, definitely space saving. To be frank with you the only times we do miter cuts on a miter saw is for trim and finish work, 90% of the time the boards are 2.5-4 inches wide. I bought a 7 1/4 inch sliding miter saw last year, I went with the cobalt brand, weighs 26 lbs, blades cost a lot less, the Bosch miter saw has not been used since then, the 7 1/4 inch sliding miter saw can cut 2x8 laying flat on a miter and 2x10 laying flat on straight cuts, plus for laminate or wood flooring jobs the miter saw is handy especially since it slides and it only cost 7-13 bucks to replace the blade. Best part is lighter tool, takes less space, cheaper to replace blades, will do 95% of your miter cuts and it cost me about $150
I agree, I could probably get by with the smaller saw on 90% of the stuff I do also. I had a 10inch Ryobi before this and I it got me by. There was only a few times that I had wished I had a 12 inch but it was enough to make me want to get one. Its like one of those things that you don't use that much but its great to have when you need it. When I get a table saw with a miter slot I'll be able to make a crosscut sled and then I won't really ever need the 12 inch saw. Thanks for the comment.
As a hobby woodworker I have used Ryobi tools for the last 7 years. No problem with the batteries. I even managed to get a non Ryobi battery from Amazon which works perfectly with my tools, and it was about a third of the cost of a real Ryobi battery. Its still working after 4 years. Also I keep the batteries at full charge for use, so maybe that helps the lifespan.
Yea a few other people have said the same thing. I was thinking maybe its because I live in Vegas and Its really hot in my garage. I just know my batteries only lasted a year and now I have a few of the green batteries that are not charging. Thank you for the comment and the input. It is appreciated.
Same here. I have several Ryobi from 2008, other color green and they work fine. I also have 10 Ryobi batteries and still have all of them working. I got so many batteries from sales where it's the same price as a bare tool. The only Ryobi tool I regret buying is the cordless electric planer 4.5". Never use the darn thing.
Same here I've had mine for around 6 years I have 5 batteries and I keep them in back of my truck and still running. I have a ranch so I somewhat use them on the daily. I also have a DeWalt drill impact combo that I got as a gift but they are my special tools that I use around and keep inside the house 😂 I have grown to love Ryobi as they have so many tools for the battery. And where I'm from lots of people buy pallets of Ryobi tools and sell them for cheap. So my Ryobi tool set has grown since then.
I bought my Ryobi drill/driver combo kit back in 2009. They are both still going strong even with regular use. I paid $99.00 and for that I got a drill, driver, two batteries, a charger, and a bag.
Had a Bosch and a Makita, 12” and 10”. For most anything the Makita 10” slider just can’t be beat. But when you’re doing crown work, you need a 12”. The Bosch was ok, but once I got the dewalt, things got easier. Set up, accuracy, convenience, power, all improved. When you need a 12, can’t be beat.
@@jascogoods actually everything else I have is Makita. They’re indestructible. But pricey. I’d bet their 12” is in some ways better than Dewalt’s, but at twice the cost. Overall, I think it’s more an individual thing, which tool does the job best for you.
I have the Ryobi PowerStrike 18G Brad Nailer, 23G Pin Nailer, and Narrow Crown Stapler and I haven't had one issue with them over the last 5-7 years. They are powerful and never jam. If you *made* me find an issue it would be the weight but only with a 6+ hour battery and only on the Brad and the Stapler, the Pin Nailer is super light.
That's good to know, I want to get a cordless pin nailer and I still have the Ryobi battery platform so maybe ill give them a try. They just came out with some upgraded batteries so maybe that will be a gamechanger for me. Thanks for sharing I appreciate the info.
I don't have any experience with the earlier blue Ryobi tools. All of my Ryobi tools are 2 years or less. I can tell you that I have a ton of Ryobi cordless hand tools and they are awesome. Yes it makes a difference weather you buy brushless or not. Ryobi has a huge platform of handy options and everything they make has worked great for me. Never had an issue with any of their batteries. I can see where if a person is building houses for a living or something that they might want Dewalt or Milwaukee etc. But for me and my woodshop, especially considering the enormous variety of tools in the platform, Ryobi has been solid as far as hand tools go. Miter saws, table saws and other larger stuff I'm not a Ryobi fan. But hand tools- they are a great value.
Thank you, I appreciate you sharing your experience. The dark blue tools were not too bad. other than the drill/screwgun they had was not variable speed. Meaning you pulled the trigger and it took off at top speed and only that speed. 😂 I really don't mind the green ones, they get the job done. I haven't used a lot of the newer Milwaukee or Dewalt tools to know the difference. But as far as the drill driver combo that I have used from Milwaukee they are on a different level than Ryobi. Mot tools I have in Ryobi I don't Have in any other brand because I already have the Ryobi version.
Skil bandsaw is first on my list because # 1 - I hardly use it, # 2 - when I use it, the blade that came with the saw wanders and doesn't cut straight even when using a fence. Second on my list is the Dewalt cordless angle grinder because that thing eats up batteries like nothing else so i use my corded RYOBI, yes a Ryobi and it works perfectly with no problems whatsoever.
YES 😂 Mins wanders too, It actually pulls the piece away from the fence!! I have not used the cordless grinder, I think because I'm old-school I still want some tools to be corded because I fell like in some situations the corded versions just work better. Thanks you for sharing your insights!
I’ve never used ryobi, most of my hand tools are dewalt, and they’ve been pretty good for what I need. I have some Bosch and makita tools as well, both are also very good. After seeing that miter saw I’m glad I didn’t get the dewalt I bought a Bosch that doesn’t have the rails sticking out like that, but dewalt seems to make good stuff so I’m sure that saw is pretty accurate
Yes the dewalt saw is great and If I had more room I would have no complaints. I am worried if I did buy a new saw that I would be trading accuracy and quality for space saving so its great to hear from people like you that have used these other saws and like them. thank you for the comment
I'm another with no issues with my Ryobi batteries. I have a few of the newer green Ryobi tools and the only one I don't like is the table saw n that is mostly due to the fence. Mitre saw is ok, drill, nail gun, screwdriver and hand router all work hard with no problems. Excellent video yet again, I bet you're a blast with tongue twisters!
It seams to be really mixed, some people love Ryobi and get mad if you say anything negative about them and some people say they had lots of problems with them. I'm thinking it could be the climate you live in. Its really hot where I live and I know that kills car batteries so I wonder if its the same with the Ryobi batteries. Thanks for always commenting and engaging brother, It is appreciated.
@@jascogoods In Chicago and this has been a hot summer. Batteries always left in the garage, only time I bring them in is during the very cold winter. I bring in my electric tools too, cold causes problems with my nail gun.
Absolutely agree that the Dewalt miter saw is never going to be against the wall in my small shop. I've got it on a mobile cart, but that's not ideal. I wish I would have looked at that closer when I bought it!
Yea me too brother. I keep tools for years too so i normally do more research than I did for this one. It has really good ratings and it deserves them but for someone with a small shop it takes up too much space. Thanks for sharing.
As for table saws I’ll never buy a cheap table saw (current contractor saws) the commonly available old cast iron Craftsman belt drive can be had for around $100 and are nearly bulletproof if you want a 1st class saw new high precision rip fence and miter gauge under $400 and some of your time I’ll match it against a cabinet saw for precision. Used tools dominate my shop some highly modified, some slightly modified, and some used as purchased. The HF current mini lathe is very good
Thank you for the insight, that is very interesting to me. You should make some videos on what you did, I think people would love to see your modifications and get your perspective on tools. I was thinking I wanted to save up for a saw stop but that may be a ways down the road. What do you think of saw stop table saws? Maybe I will try a used highly modified saw instead or at least until I'm ready to upgrade.
@@jascogoods the easiest is the Incra v27 miter gauge under $80 then the Delta, 36-T30T3, 30 in the cheapest I’ve found on Amazon @ $209 takes some drilling to install and a Safety Power Tool Paddle Switch $20 to $30. The 1.5 hp motor many come with is more than adequate. All in under $500. Always Safely upgrade your tools FYI My oldest power tool is a 1938 14” Delta bandsaw works good.
I changed my DeWalt for the Makita mitre saw after using it for a couple of years I still prefer the DeWalt over the Makita shame DeWalt doesn't make the front fixed rail, I wish Makita would change from laser to shadow line much more accurate
Hey mate, I feel ya. I started it out with craftsman 19v, than the bold blue ryobi, than 18v dewalt I literally had the whole line. Than I switched to 20v dewalt. Luckily I sold most of my 18v dewalt on marketplace for $300. I use my tool professionally though. Pro tip. Give that stapler a good clean and it work again. I had the same issue with a dewalt framing gun, I cleaned it, and Voilà... like new again. Edit;. The Amazon batteries might be fake. The only way you tell it is if you open each battery and match the brand of each cell.
Thank you for taking the time to share this info, its really appreciated. I heard that about the Amazon batteries so I am going to see if home depot will price check for me next time. I couldn't decide between Dewalt and Milwaukee and I eventually chose Milwaukee because HD has been adding more and more Milwaukee tools to their inventory. seems like there's a lot more choices in Milwaukee now.
I bought Ryobi and used for quite some time. Then I thought the batteries were failing and decided to buy Dewatt through a special deal. It was only later talkng to the Ryobi dealer that I took my batteries and charger into the shop that we discovered the charger was the problem and batteries except one were fine. On decided to buy a Ryobi lawnmover so I got a battery charger pack. The Dewatt mower wasn't suitable being much heavier. So after that at a secondhand store I found Ryobi chargers quite cheap in near new condition and after checking bought a spare. I recently after looking on YT found a way to reset my dead battery. Comparing the 2. As expected Dewatt is the better tool tool being tradesman quality but Ryobi should be OK for DIYers. But for specialist tools such as chainsaws beware that they can be serviced as the local Ryobi agent here does not supply parts to repair agents so they won't touch them.
Thank you for all that information I appreciate it. I am sure it wasn't my charger because I had 2 chargers and the other batteries were still charging. That is one good thing about Ryobi, you can get lots of batteries and chargers and not spend an arm and a leg. I still have some of the batteries and I want to try the reset thing. Someone sent me a youtube video showing how to do it and so I thought I would give it a try. I have been keeping the batteries incase something came a long like this! 😂 I agree, My Dewalt was better quality and the Milwaukee I recently bought are even better than the Dewalts. But the Dewalts I have are much older so I would have to compare some newer models to really make a conclusion. Thank you for the comment!
If you have any type of dust collection for your miter saw, shop nation sells an adapter for it. I purchased one and it’s great. Plus it saves you about a foot of space.
My husband is a woodworking here in Vegas for a millwork and custom cabinet company. He has a BOSCH saw. He lives the one he has and apparently anyone who has used it on a job site he is working, they also really like it. But the one he has is big. We went to get a tonneau cover for the bed of his truck but the saw prevents us from being able to get one. But they if you need some screws hit me up😂. We don't have cases but we do have A LOT of random extra crap that he.....😤nevermind.
Wy wife once gave me a spot welder as a present. So I ordered a box of Liitokala 16850 high-current li-ion accus, and now, instead of buying new tool batteries, I am just refilling them with new accu modules. Sometimes 'my' batteries last longer than the original ones; and I even managed to successfully convert older ni-cd batteries to li technology by integrating li bms charging control modules within. Thus giving a new life to my very old Bosch power tools which I loved,and giving them a significantly longer runtime.
I have no clue what you are talking about😂😂😂 but it sounds really interesting and something I am going to have to learn more about this!! I really appreciate you sharing this info and I'm sure more people will love this too, thank you.
First, today's green Ryobi, especially the One +HP series, are a far cry from the blue stuff. They're still hit and miss, a little, but the newest Airstrike nailers are very good, and preferred over Milwaukee for home users, since you can recharge the piston yourself with air. Milwaukee needs serviced and they refill, I think, with nitrogen. I buy mostly Milwaukee, both 18V and 12V Fuel, and Ryobi battery tools, and I'm very happy with them. As far as the Dewalt sliding miter, it's probably the best, most reliable, and rugged on the market. I'm in construction, and Dewalt is all I see carpenters use. I don't see Festool, other than track saws, nor Makita or Bosch out there. You need to make that mobile, where you can wheel it out and put it back. The Bosch is neat, but if that arm gets bumped out of alignment, it's going to be lots of fun realigning it.
Thank you for the information, It is appreciated. The only problem I have with the green Ryobi is the batteries that stop charging. The tools themselves are great for the price and can easily get the job done. With that said after using the Milwaukee batterie powered tools you can really see a difference in power and quality but you will pay the price for that power and in most cases its not needed. I didn't know that about the nailers so thanks for the info. I have an air compressor so I have just been using the pneumatic nailers because they are so much cheaper and quicker but it's been a while since I have used a battery one so I don't know if that's still the case.
I waited until Amazon Prime day to order the Metabo C12RSH2S saw for $260. I have a very small workshop, so space is really tight. The forward facing rails lets me put it right up against the wall.
That's a really good price if its the 12 inch. Yea that's what I want to be able to do. I may eventually sell mine and get a different one. Thanks for the info and the comment.
It's really hit or miss in the comments. Some people love them and some people hate them. I don't hate them, other than the batteries dying on me they got the job done for me. I did hear bad things about that sander. sorry you had to find out the hard way, I been there.
That is a good deal. The only problem is I have or really don't need the tools they had in the deal the last few years. I hope they have something different this black Friday. Thanks for the comment.
I agree but with Milwaukee added in there and I have never had a Bosch cordless tool. I think the ryobi tools get the job done but there is a noticeable quality difference. Thank you for the comment
My first table saw was that Ryobi you showed. Loved the sliding base. Had to sell it when I moved because my new place was smaller. I also own that Dewalt sliding miter saw, Love it! I added a different dust port and it works great
That's interesting, thank you for sharing. Where did you get the dust port? Is it a 90 degree?? I was ok with the Ryobi until I saw all the jigs you can make for a saw with miter slots.
Ryobi table saws are the worst as the fence system is horrible. I would’t recommend any cheaper budget table saw, including the Harbor Freight unless you just want something for occasional use around the house. I don’t have a problem with most other Ryobi tools for a hobbyist or DIYer other than perhaps their miter saw. I’ve never used one, but I’d stay away from their saws. If buying a job-site table saw, like many of us do, buy a Dewalt that fits your budget. They have a great fence system. I would recommend the 7491RS as I think it’s their best and it will run an 8” dado stack, although I’d recommend a 6” stack as it’s easier on the motor and will cut 99.9% of any dado you’ll ever need. It also has a larger rip capacity than most others. The miter gauge sucks on all job-site table saws, but you can buy something like the Incra V27 which I believe is probably one of the best within a lower price range. Thanks for the video! I think all woodworkers have a list of at least 5 tools they regret buying. I probably have a list of 20+ tools.
Thank you I really appreciate all the detailed advice. Like you said I don't think the Ryobi power tools are that bad. The only problem I had was the batteries stopped taking a charge. But now that I have used some of the Milwaukee 18 volt tools there is a big difference in quality and power compared to Ryobi. I would love to save up and get a saw stop but that's gonna be a little ways down the road for that. Maybe I will look into the dewalt like you said. again thanks for all the input.
Thank you for the input brother, I appreciate it. You are the first person to say they have the Makita. I really like Makita as a brand. They make High quality tools. Blessing to you as well.
@@blue03r6 Really?!?! I bought mine at Home Depot here in Oregon...I think we're still part of the USA although you couldn't tell with our commie Governor!!!🤣🤣🤣
My buddy has that same table saw and I built his whole shop with it. I would wrather slide down a razorblade banister into a pool of alcohol than use that saw again. No contest... Being cheap always costs you more money in the end. Example: You now own three of everything lol... Great vid though👍
Try the ole jump start method on those batteries that wont charge.....take a couple wires and use a good battery , and jump + to + and - to -, and sometimes it willl wake them up so you can charge them again.
Someone sent me a video on how to do that but I haven't gave it a try yet. I'm hoping it works because I have had these dead batteries just sitting here for years. Thanks for the tip.
On any battery, if you let it die and then just set it down, it will have a slow discharge. Once they get to a certain point, the charger will not charge it. If you take jumpers and give them a trickle charge off of another battery, they will take a charge again. Best practice, however, is to throw them directly on the charger when they die.
Thank you that is good to know. I normally do put them on the charger as soon as they die. I couldn't say for sure I always do that but for the most part I usually switch them with the battery that's on the charger. I didn't know you could do that with another battery maybe Ill try it with the few I have that died. thank you.
I have brought all my Ryobi batter back to life by using this me. Rea easy to do once you get the hang of it. Also, you can find old and dead batteries at lawn shops for practically nothing and jump start those to give you more back ups. Great stuff.
I bought the same Ryobi blue set and like you the batteries wouldn't hold a charge and they wouldn't do a thing about it. We'll 20 or so years later I'm proud to say that I have never ever bought another Ryobi product and never will.
I still have my Ryobi power tools, in the canvas bag like yours, they all work including the original batteries. That kit must be at least 12 years old. What I notice about your set is that all the tools were filthy and abused. My set looks almost new, with some wear. I was taught, by my father, to clean, oil, and take care of my tools.
I am really impressed that all your batteries still work. Great job taking care of them. My dad went to get milk and never came home so I didn't get that lesson! 😂😂😂 thank you for the comment.
I just replaced my 12" Kobalt sliding miter saw with the Wen MM1015 because A: I literally never needed the extra 2", and B: how deep the Kobalt is due to how the slide is in the back, not front, like it is on the Wen.
I bought all Ryobi tools and I'm very happy with the battery life. I have some that are 4 years old and still charge and last as long as they should.If I was a woodworker as a business I might go for a higher price brand but as a hobby woodworker and home owner this is all I need. I started out years ago with Craftsman kit and still have all the tools and a few of the batteries that work fine. You must have got a bad battery if it only lasted a year. I wish people would quit knocking Ryobi tools because they are great economy tools and never had one fail.
Thank you, I appreciate the comment and sharing your experience. I can only share the experience I have had with Ryobi. A few other people have said they have had batteries that lasted them a long time also. It could be the heat here in Vegas that is making the difference. I just know that I had a Makita 12volt that lasted me around 5-7 years that I got in the late 90s but maybe I kept it in the house more, I don't remember. 😂
No problem brother! I'm not gonna lie, It is almost too good to be true and that scares me a little.😂 its crazy they are almost half price! Let me know if they work as good for you.
Beware! Any Amazon Milwaukee has zero warranty. If it goes bad after the Amazon return policy expires you are SOL. However, at half price might be worth the risk or trouble.
Sir, you have accidentally bought yourself a toy table saw. If you go to Home Depot, you can find a selection of table saws for Adults. I recommend the Dewalt as a good starter table saw. Having said that - I love you and your videos. You make me laugh and I learn things. Thanks.
😂😂😂 It really is like a kids saw!! I really want one of those hybrid saws but I am afraid it might be too big for my garage. Thank you so much for your positive comments that make me laugh!! It is really appreciated.
Another good thing about this saw is it really gets the sawdust into the pipe. So good that my pipe clogs up a lot so I am just guessing a 90 would make it worse. But you are right, It might be worth a try with a vacuum.
Consider an affordable front rail sliding miter saw: Current price $261.58 WEN MM1015 15-Amp 10-Inch Dual Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw with LED Cutline
Yea a lot of people are saying that in my comments. I was thinking It could be because I live in the dessert and It gets really hot in my garage. Car batteries have short lives here too. Thank you for the comment and the input.
My Ryobi hand tools have been great. Important to check out specs. Now, my table saw has just ONE miter slot, which sucks, and it's tabbed, which sucks more the same. It cuts well though. PS - the same company that makes Milwaukee makes Ryobi.
Its really interesting how split people are on Ryobi. I am glad they worked out for you. I only had problems with the batteries dying but that could be the heat where I live. I heard that about them being the same company before. Thanks for the comment.
I was thinking of asking for a Dewalt Sliding Compound Miter saw for the holidays, until I saw this, as I mine is not "sliding" (first "big tool"), and I'd like to make larger cuts. I FOR SURE don't have the 4 foot area that it needs to work. I'd love any suggestions from people who have other, similar compound sliding miter saws. I've had pretty good luck with Makita, but not sure if others do on a similar item. Thanks sooooo much, and you make me laugh! 😂
Thank you so much for the encouragement, It is appreciated. The saw works great and I love the power and how wide of cuts I can make now. but like you I just don't have the room. hopefully more people comment with some advice for us!!
I totally disagree with your opinion on Ryobi. I own 15 different tools from Ryobi , some I bought with batteries and some tool only. I have had 2 of the smaller batteries quit working in the 10 years I have been using them. I use them almost daily. Either I have been fortunate or you have been unfortunate with your experience. Plus the convenience of the batteries fitting every tool. I had the blue set to start with too. The Nicad batteries were junk. I still have the blue vacuum and reciprocating saw, which still work great with the Lithium batteries. JMO
Thats great you had good luck with Ryobi. Everyone has to form an opinion from their own experience. You would think it would be somewhat consistant from all users but when it comes to Ryobi I get comments from some people that love them and some people that hate them. I think I a more in the center. I think they can get the job done and are priced very good. I only had issues with the batteries. With that said after using different brands there is a noticeable difference in quality and power when you put them head to head with more expensive brands. We all have the freedom to decide if the difference is worth the price for the higher brands. Thank you for sharing your experience, I appreciate it.
Regarding those cheaper Milwaukee batteries. Home depot will not only match the Amazon price, but they'll beat it by 10% Much easier warranty process if something goes sideways as well. That 10% goes for everything, as long as they carry that same item #
I have the blue Ryobi drill with the battery that died on me- I’m holding on and holding out hope that somehow I can recharge it. And I forget that Amazon is like eBay and Facebook Market Place when buying stuff. That said- a lot of those tools could have been the ones stolen from the big box stores and resold online. I think estate sales are the safest bet for cheaper tools nowadays.
I still have my Makita that I bought in the 90s and I am waiting for the same thing!! 😂😂😂 I didn't think of the stolen tool thing! In December it will be a year since I have bought mine and they are still selling them. That is a lot of stolen batteries. I haven't tried the estate sales but I am looking forward to checking one out.
Many times the so-called smart chargers are the problem. I came across several car jumpstart/chargers and my best is one I got over 30yrs ago. It obviously wasn't a smart charger but it'll charge unlike the smart chargers which indicates you have a faulty battery.
I know someone who would want to fight you for talking bad about ryobi. Lol. That said I had a ryobi drill and a dewalt, but I like the ryobi better. That said I loved the Milwaukee drill I used at work
Yea some people get really defensive when you talk about Ryobi!! 😂😂 People either love them or hate them. I really didn't have a problem with the tools function, I mostly had problems with the batteries. Milwaukee is my favorite drill/driver I have used. Thanks for the comment and sharing your experience.
Did you mean the Dewalt because that's what I was saying in the video. 😂😂 Are you confirming what I said or are you talking about one of the other saws?
Mine are all hit-or-miss... fortunately you can replace the cells as needed or buy an adapter for Dewalt/Milwaukee/etc batteries to fit into the Ryobi tools.
That is really interesting. I wonder if its because my garage is so hot in these Vegas summers. I had a Makita and those batteries lasted me about 7 years and it was from the 90s.
Yeah, I started out buying the Ryobi 6 tool combo set for 200. Bucks then was buying 2 - 4 amp hour batteries for 99. Bucks and get a free tool but months later when I went to use the batteries they were junk. So hell with Ryobi, 3 junk batteries out of 4. I'll stick with Harbor freight tools. They work good for home use and never had a battery fail yet.
Glad to know I'm not the only one. It seems to be really mixed. A lot of people are saying they have had batteries last for years and some people had the experience me and you had with the batteries. thanks for sharing.
Wouldn't buy Ryobi if you paid me now, I bought the moto their system and had 3 tools stop workers ng, burn out within 1 to 3 months of guarantee running out . I'm not a heavy user either in fact the opposite
“Opps something just broke” 😱😂😂 Thousands of workers, fitting and farting, swearing by and using Ryobi tools, at least 💯. My good friend and his son swear by them, and have all the green tools. So, being the friend, asked to try them out, ummmm, “bangs head on desk”, why, why did I do that?! So tried your favourite big box store HD, Rigid, “ bangs head on desk”, looking at a mirror, seeing these red marks and bumps on my head, not going away! I am looking punch drunk and sore, cries. Missing my full Dewalt kit that I sold to another friend that had his tools stolen. Okay tried team yellow, yet, green and orange make my forehead hurt, and my desk looking dented at one side. Now, sneaking a look at team red, being a forlorn unrequited love from a distance. Yup, had enough, walked into HD, got a card and bought, a team blue kit! Huh, well Makita was another make I have been hiding my love and desire for. My good friend, though wondering why I did not like his green kit, looked at me suspiciously, “You go on and on about Milwaukee, yet went and bought Makita?.” 🧐😖 Scowling at me! “Umm buddy”, I answered quietly, “ They both start with an M, no R’s, D’s or whatever for me, only M’s” Grinning back at him. Over the year, buying and filling up my team blue tools, and always bought them with bonus free 5amp battery and charger, with….. no regrets. Batteries, last and hold their power, (something a lot do not get, any lithium battery watchamacalls it, always charge, discharge, charge, discharge, from the get go, they perform better and last longer). I learned a long time ago, get what you need that is reliable, and always pay a bit more for quality. Quantity, you can always get more as you need them, down the road. Though, I have to admit, Milwaukee’s brad nailer ( thinking on the 12v as I do have their Fuel driver, which is awesome) are better, not really hung up on the Makita ones. The moral of the story, there is none, since I am sure HD’s return dept hates me, well maybe, did hate me, until I settled on the blue tools. Still, I swear by Dewalts corded 5” palm sander, which does a magnificent job. How do I know, I returned the cordless, green and orange crappy, wood wreaking, others. Don’t short change yourself, even if you do not call yourself, a so called professional, quality surpasses, cheap. “Yes, I agree with you” Btw, a tad bit of history, I was in the trades, renovating. Retired now, yet, electrical, plumbing, tiling, Master Painter Refinisher, demolition, framing, flooring, roofing, seen it all, used so many, know my tools. What works for you, is what is important, not what others say. Oh, those zero clearance miter saws, seen and heard, they should be avoided.
Thank you so much for sharing all that wisdom and experience. I too went back and forth trying to decide between red and blue. My first cordless drill was a Makita with the long battery that went in the handle like loading a clip!! my second was a 12 volt Makita. 12 volts was high powered at the time. I was a Makita fan in the early 2000s but I only had Ryobi money!! 😂 I don't remember what ended up swaying me to Milwaukee a few black Fridays ago. It might be that they had more cordless tools than Makita at the time.
@@jascogoods We have a batteries +, store that would do them. Here is a video of diy from youtube. He first jumps it, when that doesn't work he rebuilds it. There are more videos out there, this is just an example. Amazon or a battery store for replacements. ✌️ ruclips.net/video/_ier8mGLrR8/видео.htmlsi=--HEnsxMIzEXb7AN
This guy doesn't have a clue. That Ryobi BT 3200 table saw was the best saw i ever owned. This guy doesn't realize that if that sliding crosscut table track sticks out, you can just reverse the table and have it stick out the back when not in use. You buy the cheapest band saw on the market and what do you expect. He also doesn't know that rechargeable batteries wont charge when they have have zero power, the charger wont read the battery. You have to jump it for 5 mins, put a slight charge on it so the charger can read it. or better yet, dont run the battery completely out of power. And the big news is Amazon is cheaper than Home Depot , all I can say is 'wow".
I started with buying a brushless Milwaukee drill and driver, but then discovered everything that took the same battery cost more than other brands. I eventually bought a Ryobi ONE+ brushless hammer drill. I didn't install the handle and I just use it as a conventional drill. I like it better than my brushless Milwaukee drill. It came with a 2 Ah battery, a charger, and a free 2 Ah battery. Home Depot was running a special that if you purchased a Ryobi ONE+ tool, you got a free battery. I then picked up a Ryobi ONE+ edger. It too came with a 4.0 Ah battery and charger. Once you have at least two chargers and a few batteries, you're good to go. I've since bought a Ryobi tire inflator and a hot glue gun. Both have been great to have. Milwaukee doesn't even sell tools like that.
Yea I hear what you are saying with the prices of Milwaukee batteries. They are over priced for sure!! I am surprised you like the Ryobi drill better than the Milwaukee because I feel like the Milwaukee is much more powerful and holds a charge forever. My Ryobi is older so that may make a difference too. On a different topic, your name says you are from MD. I used to live in Catonsville and other places I don't remember because it was pre Jr High.
@@jascogoods The Ryobi hammer drill is is more powerful than my Milwaukee M18. The Ryobi has 750 inch pounds of torque and a top speed of 2,100 RPM. In comparison, the Milwaukee M18 has 500 inch pounds of torque and a top speed of 1,800 RPM. I had to look it up, I didn't have those stats memorized. The most important thing about the Ryobi is it just fits my hand perfectly. 🙂 I was planning on selling it on Facebook Marketplace, but if you've ever had the experience of selling used tools on Facebook, I decided to just keep it. I'm a Maryland transplant. I moved here after getting out of the Air Force in 1994. I came here for work. I planned on staying a year or two until I could find a job back home in California. I then met my wife here and my plans changed.
I Bough Me Ryobi Tools & I Never Had A Bit Of Trouble With Them. I Even Bought Me A Ryobi Miter Saw & I Never Had A Bit Of Trouble With Any Of Any Of Them Alot Of People Say Ahhhh Ryobi Is Junk & I Say What The Hell Do They Know.
I don't know much that's for sure. 😂😂😂 Its really interesting how some people either have a great experience with Ryobi or some people have a bad experience with them. I also had the Ryobi myter saw and never had a problem with that. But compared to the Dewalt it was like a kids saw.
As a more so hobby wood worker my self but getting into bigger projects slowly I will never in my life support or by dewalt or Milwaukee products or any other over priced big brands. Unless these tools cure cancer or give me lucky lotto numbers they can keep there asses on the shelf which every time I go to home depot I see then fully and overstocked collecting dust. Oh look a drill for $150 awesome wait the battery is $200? I just spent $350 for a fucking drill? $200 for a orbital sander?? Fuck out of here I'll buy affordable tools and when they die 2-5 years I can replace then with ease not feeling like I just tried to put my dumb kid through college and wasted my money
Don't hold back please, tell me how you really feel!😂😂😂 Hey to each their own as they say. Some people love Ryobi and others hate them, its really interesting to see how split everyone is. Someone commented on one of my older videos that they stopped watching when they saw me take out a Ryobi drill. 😂 I do think Milwaukee is better quality but I have to admit the high prices and higher battery prices irk me. I am still on the fence to whether or not they are worth it. Thank you for your comment.
3 different sets of battery sets not holding a charge, and all failed the same way and about the same amount of time I would check the electric at your house. get at battery back up/ power conditioner my help. look in to WEN tools you may like those and they are not death to your bank account
I really don't get why you never tried rigid they have batteries for life they often also make sure the tool does the job on all of my reviews I have seen they always say they do the job they aren't the best in the review ever but they are always rated as does the job just not great and they are there for the lifetime of the company
I do have a few Rigid tools. I have a ridged router that's awesome. I just don't have any of their battery powered stuff. when I was looking at battery powered tools some of the Rigid tools looked clunky. I was looking at combo kits on black Friday to get the best deal and when I was researching it most people were saying either Milwaukee, Makita, Dewalt, or Ryobi. Its hard to try a new battery powered tool because you have to invest in the whole battery system. That means different chargers and more batteries. Thank you for the comment.
Yea they are the one +. I am not sure if the ones that stopped charging are the HP ill have to look at them again. They have a new battery they just came out with that's supposed to be really good. Much better than all their previous ones. I might get a few for the tools I still have.
😂😂😂 I hear people say it both ways but most importantly they say it Ri-o-bee in their commercials. So I say it how they say it. 😂 Thank you for the comment.
I had to stop about half way through. Complaining about incredibly cheap tools after 15 yrs. To top that off saying you can't afford to replace a small Milwaukee battery. I mean we've all been there and lots of days I still am but I don't go on RUclips complaining about cheap 15 yr old tools. Maybe the video got better but I had watched more than I wanted to hoping for improvement.
I been a framer for a few years now, we have a 12 inch Bosch miter sliding saw and the sliding mechanism works really well, definitely space saving. To be frank with you the only times we do miter cuts on a miter saw is for trim and finish work, 90% of the time the boards are 2.5-4 inches wide.
I bought a 7 1/4 inch sliding miter saw last year, I went with the cobalt brand, weighs 26 lbs, blades cost a lot less, the Bosch miter saw has not been used since then, the 7 1/4 inch sliding miter saw can cut 2x8 laying flat on a miter and 2x10 laying flat on straight cuts, plus for laminate or wood flooring jobs the miter saw is handy especially since it slides and it only cost 7-13 bucks to replace the blade.
Best part is lighter tool, takes less space, cheaper to replace blades, will do 95% of your miter cuts and it cost me about $150
I agree, I could probably get by with the smaller saw on 90% of the stuff I do also. I had a 10inch Ryobi before this and I it got me by. There was only a few times that I had wished I had a 12 inch but it was enough to make me want to get one. Its like one of those things that you don't use that much but its great to have when you need it. When I get a table saw with a miter slot I'll be able to make a crosscut sled and then I won't really ever need the 12 inch saw. Thanks for the comment.
As a hobby woodworker I have used Ryobi tools for the last 7 years. No problem with the batteries. I even managed to get a non Ryobi battery from Amazon which works perfectly with my tools, and it was about a third of the cost of a real Ryobi battery. Its still working after 4 years. Also I keep the batteries at full charge for use, so maybe that helps the lifespan.
Yea a few other people have said the same thing. I was thinking maybe its because I live in Vegas and Its really hot in my garage. I just know my batteries only lasted a year and now I have a few of the green batteries that are not charging. Thank you for the comment and the input. It is appreciated.
Same here. I have several Ryobi from 2008, other color green and they work fine. I also have 10 Ryobi batteries and still have all of them working. I got so many batteries from sales where it's the same price as a bare tool.
The only Ryobi tool I regret buying is the cordless electric planer 4.5". Never use the darn thing.
@@jascogoodsheat is the enemy of batteries, but failure usually happens when they have been consistently stored fully charged
I love my Ryobi table saw. It’s nothing like what you have. Any all in one set up is a bad idea
Same here I've had mine for around 6 years I have 5 batteries and I keep them in back of my truck and still running. I have a ranch so I somewhat use them on the daily. I also have a DeWalt drill impact combo that I got as a gift but they are my special tools that I use around and keep inside the house 😂 I have grown to love Ryobi as they have so many tools for the battery. And where I'm from lots of people buy pallets of Ryobi tools and sell them for cheap. So my Ryobi tool set has grown since then.
I bought my Ryobi drill/driver combo kit back in 2009. They are both still going strong even with regular use. I paid $99.00 and for that I got a drill, driver, two batteries, a charger, and a bag.
Had a Bosch and a Makita, 12” and 10”. For most anything the Makita 10” slider just can’t be beat. But when you’re doing crown work, you need a 12”. The Bosch was ok, but once I got the dewalt, things got easier. Set up, accuracy, convenience, power, all improved. When you need a 12, can’t be beat.
Thanks for all the great info that was really helpful. Do you think the 12inch Makita is as good as the 12inch dewalt?
@@jascogoods actually everything else I have is Makita. They’re indestructible. But pricey. I’d bet their 12” is in some ways better than Dewalt’s, but at twice the cost. Overall, I think it’s more an individual thing, which tool does the job best for you.
I have the Ryobi PowerStrike 18G Brad Nailer, 23G Pin Nailer, and Narrow Crown Stapler and I haven't had one issue with them over the last 5-7 years. They are powerful and never jam. If you *made* me find an issue it would be the weight but only with a 6+ hour battery and only on the Brad and the Stapler, the Pin Nailer is super light.
That's good to know, I want to get a cordless pin nailer and I still have the Ryobi battery platform so maybe ill give them a try. They just came out with some upgraded batteries so maybe that will be a gamechanger for me. Thanks for sharing I appreciate the info.
I don't have any experience with the earlier blue Ryobi tools. All of my Ryobi tools are 2 years or less. I can tell you that I have a ton of Ryobi cordless hand tools and they are awesome. Yes it makes a difference weather you buy brushless or not. Ryobi has a huge platform of handy options and everything they make has worked great for me. Never had an issue with any of their batteries. I can see where if a person is building houses for a living or something that they might want Dewalt or Milwaukee etc. But for me and my woodshop, especially considering the enormous variety of tools in the platform, Ryobi has been solid as far as hand tools go. Miter saws, table saws and other larger stuff I'm not a Ryobi fan. But hand tools- they are a great value.
Thank you, I appreciate you sharing your experience. The dark blue tools were not too bad. other than the drill/screwgun they had was not variable speed. Meaning you pulled the trigger and it took off at top speed and only that speed. 😂 I really don't mind the green ones, they get the job done. I haven't used a lot of the newer Milwaukee or Dewalt tools to know the difference. But as far as the drill driver combo that I have used from Milwaukee they are on a different level than Ryobi. Mot tools I have in Ryobi I don't Have in any other brand because I already have the Ryobi version.
Skil bandsaw is first on my list because # 1 - I hardly use it, # 2 - when I use it, the blade that came with the saw wanders and doesn't cut straight even when using a fence. Second on my list is the Dewalt cordless angle grinder because that thing eats up batteries like nothing else so i use my corded RYOBI, yes a Ryobi and it works perfectly with no problems whatsoever.
YES 😂 Mins wanders too, It actually pulls the piece away from the fence!! I have not used the cordless grinder, I think because I'm old-school I still want some tools to be corded because I fell like in some situations the corded versions just work better. Thanks you for sharing your insights!
I have the 12 inch Bosch gliding miter saw and the only drawback is that it is a bit heavy. Other than that......awesome saw accurate and powerful!
That is good to know!! thank you for sharing.
I’ve never used ryobi, most of my hand tools are dewalt, and they’ve been pretty good for what I need. I have some Bosch and makita tools as well, both are also very good. After seeing that miter saw I’m glad I didn’t get the dewalt I bought a Bosch that doesn’t have the rails sticking out like that, but dewalt seems to make good stuff so I’m sure that saw is pretty accurate
Yes the dewalt saw is great and If I had more room I would have no complaints. I am worried if I did buy a new saw that I would be trading accuracy and quality for space saving so its great to hear from people like you that have used these other saws and like them. thank you for the comment
I'm another with no issues with my Ryobi batteries. I have a few of the newer green Ryobi tools and the only one I don't like is the table saw n that is mostly due to the fence. Mitre saw is ok, drill, nail gun, screwdriver and hand router all work hard with no problems. Excellent video yet again, I bet you're a blast with tongue twisters!
It seams to be really mixed, some people love Ryobi and get mad if you say anything negative about them and some people say they had lots of problems with them. I'm thinking it could be the climate you live in. Its really hot where I live and I know that kills car batteries so I wonder if its the same with the Ryobi batteries. Thanks for always commenting and engaging brother, It is appreciated.
@@jascogoods In Chicago and this has been a hot summer. Batteries always left in the garage, only time I bring them in is during the very cold winter. I bring in my electric tools too, cold causes problems with my nail gun.
Absolutely agree that the Dewalt miter saw is never going to be against the wall in my small shop. I've got it on a mobile cart, but that's not ideal. I wish I would have looked at that closer when I bought it!
Yea me too brother. I keep tools for years too so i normally do more research than I did for this one. It has really good ratings and it deserves them but for someone with a small shop it takes up too much space. Thanks for sharing.
As for table saws I’ll never buy a cheap table saw (current contractor saws) the commonly available old cast iron Craftsman belt drive can be had for around $100 and are nearly bulletproof if you want a 1st class saw new high precision rip fence and miter gauge under $400 and some of your time I’ll match it against a cabinet saw for precision.
Used tools dominate my shop some highly modified, some slightly modified, and some used as purchased.
The HF current mini lathe is very good
Thank you for the insight, that is very interesting to me. You should make some videos on what you did, I think people would love to see your modifications and get your perspective on tools. I was thinking I wanted to save up for a saw stop but that may be a ways down the road. What do you think of saw stop table saws? Maybe I will try a used highly modified saw instead or at least until I'm ready to upgrade.
@@jascogoods the easiest is the Incra v27 miter gauge under $80 then the Delta, 36-T30T3, 30 in the cheapest I’ve found on Amazon @ $209 takes some drilling to install and a Safety Power Tool Paddle Switch $20 to $30. The 1.5 hp motor many come with is more than adequate. All in under $500.
Always Safely upgrade your tools
FYI My oldest power tool is a 1938 14” Delta bandsaw works good.
I changed my DeWalt for the Makita mitre saw after using it for a couple of years I still prefer the DeWalt over the Makita shame DeWalt doesn't make the front fixed rail, I wish Makita would change from laser to shadow line much more accurate
Yea I would definitely miss the shadow line. I agree, the Dewalt is great other then the footprint it takes up. Thanks for the input.
Hey mate, I feel ya. I started it out with craftsman 19v, than the bold blue ryobi, than 18v dewalt I literally had the whole line. Than I switched to 20v dewalt. Luckily I sold most of my 18v dewalt on marketplace for $300.
I use my tool professionally though.
Pro tip. Give that stapler a good clean and it work again. I had the same issue with a dewalt framing gun, I cleaned it, and Voilà... like new again.
Edit;. The Amazon batteries might be fake. The only way you tell it is if you open each battery and match the brand of each cell.
Thank you for taking the time to share this info, its really appreciated. I heard that about the Amazon batteries so I am going to see if home depot will price check for me next time. I couldn't decide between Dewalt and Milwaukee and I eventually chose Milwaukee because HD has been adding more and more Milwaukee tools to their inventory. seems like there's a lot more choices in Milwaukee now.
I bought Ryobi and used for quite some time. Then I thought the batteries were failing and decided to buy Dewatt through a special deal. It was only later talkng to the Ryobi dealer that I took my batteries and charger into the shop that we discovered the charger was the problem and batteries except one were fine. On decided to buy a Ryobi lawnmover so I got a battery charger pack. The Dewatt mower wasn't suitable being much heavier. So after that at a secondhand store I found Ryobi chargers quite cheap in near new condition and after checking bought a spare. I recently after looking on YT found a way to reset my dead battery.
Comparing the 2. As expected Dewatt is the better tool tool being tradesman quality but Ryobi should be OK for DIYers. But for specialist tools such as chainsaws beware that they can be serviced as the local Ryobi agent here does not supply parts to repair agents so they won't touch them.
Thank you for all that information I appreciate it. I am sure it wasn't my charger because I had 2 chargers and the other batteries were still charging. That is one good thing about Ryobi, you can get lots of batteries and chargers and not spend an arm and a leg. I still have some of the batteries and I want to try the reset thing. Someone sent me a youtube video showing how to do it and so I thought I would give it a try. I have been keeping the batteries incase something came a long like this! 😂 I agree, My Dewalt was better quality and the Milwaukee I recently bought are even better than the Dewalts. But the Dewalts I have are much older so I would have to compare some newer models to really make a conclusion. Thank you for the comment!
If you have any type of dust collection for your miter saw, shop nation sells an adapter for it. I purchased one and it’s great. Plus it saves you about a foot of space.
That is good to know, Thank you for the comment and the tip. I will definitely check them out.
My husband is a woodworking here in Vegas for a millwork and custom cabinet company. He has a BOSCH saw. He lives the one he has and apparently anyone who has used it on a job site he is working, they also really like it. But the one he has is big. We went to get a tonneau cover for the bed of his truck but the saw prevents us from being able to get one. But they if you need some screws hit me up😂. We don't have cases but we do have A LOT of random extra crap that he.....😤nevermind.
😂😂😂 Thanks for the advice, I will definitely look into the Bosch. I worked for Pardee Homes in the early 2000s. did you ever do cabinets for them?
Amazon, ryobi to whatever battery you want adapter boom new life to old tools Milwaukee, dewalt etc
Thank you for the info, I will check that out.
Wy wife once gave me a spot welder as a present. So I ordered a box of Liitokala 16850 high-current li-ion accus, and now, instead of buying new tool batteries, I am just refilling them with new accu modules. Sometimes 'my' batteries last longer than the original ones; and I even managed to successfully convert older ni-cd batteries to li technology by integrating li bms charging control modules within. Thus giving a new life to my very old Bosch power tools which I loved,and giving them a significantly longer runtime.
I have no clue what you are talking about😂😂😂 but it sounds really interesting and something I am going to have to learn more about this!! I really appreciate you sharing this info and I'm sure more people will love this too, thank you.
First, today's green Ryobi, especially the One +HP series, are a far cry from the blue stuff. They're still hit and miss, a little, but the newest Airstrike nailers are very good, and preferred over Milwaukee for home users, since you can recharge the piston yourself with air. Milwaukee needs serviced and they refill, I think, with nitrogen. I buy mostly Milwaukee, both 18V and 12V Fuel, and Ryobi battery tools, and I'm very happy with them. As far as the Dewalt sliding miter, it's probably the best, most reliable, and rugged on the market. I'm in construction, and Dewalt is all I see carpenters use. I don't see Festool, other than track saws, nor Makita or Bosch out there. You need to make that mobile, where you can wheel it out and put it back. The Bosch is neat, but if that arm gets bumped out of alignment, it's going to be lots of fun realigning it.
Thank you for the information, It is appreciated. The only problem I have with the green Ryobi is the batteries that stop charging. The tools themselves are great for the price and can easily get the job done. With that said after using the Milwaukee batterie powered tools you can really see a difference in power and quality but you will pay the price for that power and in most cases its not needed. I didn't know that about the nailers so thanks for the info. I have an air compressor so I have just been using the pneumatic nailers because they are so much cheaper and quicker but it's been a while since I have used a battery one so I don't know if that's still the case.
I waited until Amazon Prime day to order the Metabo C12RSH2S saw for $260. I have a very small workshop, so space is really tight. The forward facing rails lets me put it right up against the wall.
That's a really good price if its the 12 inch. Yea that's what I want to be able to do. I may eventually sell mine and get a different one. Thanks for the info and the comment.
Had Ryobi for years, no problems, no battery issues. But I did regret buying the Ridgid oscillating sander. Sold that within 60 days of purchase.
It's really hit or miss in the comments. Some people love them and some people hate them. I don't hate them, other than the batteries dying on me they got the job done for me. I did hear bad things about that sander. sorry you had to find out the hard way, I been there.
Ryobi re1802m Router combo.The plastic swelled over time locked up depth adjustment solid.
Damn that sucks, I think that's the one I have. thanks for the heads up.
@@jascogoods It's a old one.
I've had pretty good luck holding out for the Milwaukee "buy a battery get a tool free" deals at Home Depot or Northern Tool.
That is a good deal. The only problem is I have or really don't need the tools they had in the deal the last few years. I hope they have something different this black Friday. Thanks for the comment.
I prefer makita, dewalt or blue bosch.
I have a ryobi jigsaw, it works but the saw blade are abit floppy
I agree but with Milwaukee added in there and I have never had a Bosch cordless tool. I think the ryobi tools get the job done but there is a noticeable quality difference. Thank you for the comment
My first table saw was that Ryobi you showed. Loved the sliding base. Had to sell it when I moved because my new place was smaller. I also own that Dewalt sliding miter saw, Love it! I added a different dust port and it works great
That's interesting, thank you for sharing. Where did you get the dust port? Is it a 90 degree?? I was ok with the Ryobi until I saw all the jigs you can make for a saw with miter slots.
Ryobi table saws are the worst as the fence system is horrible. I would’t recommend any cheaper budget table saw, including the Harbor Freight unless you just want something for occasional use around the house. I don’t have a problem with most other Ryobi tools for a hobbyist or DIYer other than perhaps their miter saw. I’ve never used one, but I’d stay away from their saws. If buying a job-site table saw, like many of us do, buy a Dewalt that fits your budget. They have a great fence system. I would recommend the 7491RS as I think it’s their best and it will run an 8” dado stack, although I’d recommend a 6” stack as it’s easier on the motor and will cut 99.9% of any dado you’ll ever need. It also has a larger rip capacity than most others. The miter gauge sucks on all job-site table saws, but you can buy something like the Incra V27 which I believe is probably one of the best within a lower price range. Thanks for the video! I think all woodworkers have a list of at least 5 tools they regret buying. I probably have a list of 20+ tools.
Thank you I really appreciate all the detailed advice. Like you said I don't think the Ryobi power tools are that bad. The only problem I had was the batteries stopped taking a charge. But now that I have used some of the Milwaukee 18 volt tools there is a big difference in quality and power compared to Ryobi. I would love to save up and get a saw stop but that's gonna be a little ways down the road for that. Maybe I will look into the dewalt like you said. again thanks for all the input.
Hey brother. I have the Makita 12" miter saw. It's perfect and I love it! I used to use a bosch but now it works great as a door stop! Blessings!!!
Thank you for the input brother, I appreciate it. You are the first person to say they have the Makita. I really like Makita as a brand. They make High quality tools. Blessing to you as well.
@@jascogoods Yes, I'm totally Team Teal! Keep grinding brother, you're an inspiration!! Blessings!!!
You cant buy a makita miter saw in USA
@@blue03r6 Really?!?! I bought mine at Home Depot here in Oregon...I think we're still part of the USA although you couldn't tell with our commie Governor!!!🤣🤣🤣
My buddy has that same table saw and I built his whole shop with it. I would wrather slide down a razorblade banister into a pool of alcohol than use that saw again. No contest... Being cheap always costs you more money in the end. Example: You now own three of everything lol... Great vid though👍
This comment was horrifying and hilarious at the same time. 😂😂😂 Thank you!!
Try the ole jump start method on those batteries that wont charge.....take a couple wires and use a good battery , and jump + to + and - to -, and sometimes it willl wake them up so you can charge them again.
Someone sent me a video on how to do that but I haven't gave it a try yet. I'm hoping it works because I have had these dead batteries just sitting here for years. Thanks for the tip.
On any battery, if you let it die and then just set it down, it will have a slow discharge. Once they get to a certain point, the charger will not charge it. If you take jumpers and give them a trickle charge off of another battery, they will take a charge again. Best practice, however, is to throw them directly on the charger when they die.
Thank you that is good to know. I normally do put them on the charger as soon as they die. I couldn't say for sure I always do that but for the most part I usually switch them with the battery that's on the charger. I didn't know you could do that with another battery maybe Ill try it with the few I have that died. thank you.
@@jascogoods There are a few videos on RUclips that walk you through it.
I have brought all my Ryobi batter back to life by using this me. Rea easy to do once you get the hang of it.
Also, you can find old and dead batteries at lawn shops for practically nothing and jump start those to give you more back ups.
Great stuff.
I bought the same Ryobi blue set and like you the batteries wouldn't hold a charge and they wouldn't do a thing about it. We'll 20 or so years later I'm proud to say that I have never ever bought another Ryobi product and never will.
I still have my Ryobi power tools, in the canvas bag like yours, they all work including the original batteries. That kit must be at least 12 years old. What I notice about your set is that all the tools were filthy and abused. My set looks almost new, with some wear. I was taught, by my father, to clean, oil, and take care of my tools.
I am really impressed that all your batteries still work. Great job taking care of them. My dad went to get milk and never came home so I didn't get that lesson! 😂😂😂 thank you for the comment.
I just replaced my 12" Kobalt sliding miter saw with the Wen MM1015 because A: I literally never needed the extra 2", and B: how deep the Kobalt is due to how the slide is in the back, not front, like it is on the Wen.
I bought all Ryobi tools and I'm very happy with the battery life. I have some that are 4 years old and still charge and last as long as they should.If I was a woodworker as a business I might go for a higher price brand but as a hobby woodworker and home owner this is all I need. I started out years ago with Craftsman kit and still have all the tools and a few of the batteries that work fine. You must have got a bad battery if it only lasted a year. I wish people would quit knocking Ryobi tools because they are great economy tools and never had one fail.
Thank you, I appreciate the comment and sharing your experience. I can only share the experience I have had with Ryobi. A few other people have said they have had batteries that lasted them a long time also. It could be the heat here in Vegas that is making the difference. I just know that I had a Makita 12volt that lasted me around 5-7 years that I got in the late 90s but maybe I kept it in the house more, I don't remember. 😂
Doto!
Thank you for the tip on the batteries.. I just ordered two and they are now selling for $40.99... Sweet!!
No problem brother! I'm not gonna lie, It is almost too good to be true and that scares me a little.😂 its crazy they are almost half price! Let me know if they work as good for you.
@@jascogoodsthose Amazon deals are being dropped shipped while the box stores have overhead and employees to pay
@@liquidrockaquatics3900 they're counterfeit.
Beware! Any Amazon Milwaukee has zero warranty. If it goes bad after the Amazon return policy expires you are SOL. However, at half price might be worth the risk or trouble.
I have a rigid gliding miter saw. I love it. And it wasn’t super expensive.
I didn't know Rigid made one. Can you put it against a wall? Thanks for the info.
@@jascogoods yes you can all the motion of the arm is forward.
Sir, you have accidentally bought yourself a toy table saw. If you go to Home Depot, you can find a selection of table saws for Adults. I recommend the Dewalt as a good starter table saw. Having said that - I love you and your videos. You make me laugh and I learn things. Thanks.
😂😂😂 It really is like a kids saw!! I really want one of those hybrid saws but I am afraid it might be too big for my garage. Thank you so much for your positive comments that make me laugh!! It is really appreciated.
That’s my biggest complaint on the dewalt sliding miter saw as well -
I don't think the right-angle hose adapter would reduce the suction very much ... worth a try
Yea, everything else is great, I just don't have the room in my garage for it.
Another good thing about this saw is it really gets the sawdust into the pipe. So good that my pipe clogs up a lot so I am just guessing a 90 would make it worse. But you are right, It might be worth a try with a vacuum.
Just as FYI: both Home Depot and Lowe’s offer price match - use it!
That is awesome, I didn't know that. Thanks for the tip!
Consider an affordable front rail sliding miter saw: Current price $261.58 WEN MM1015 15-Amp 10-Inch Dual Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw with LED Cutline
I started buying Ryobi tools when I needed a cordless sander 7 years ago. All of my batteries are still charging and going strong
Yea a lot of people are saying that in my comments. I was thinking It could be because I live in the dessert and It gets really hot in my garage. Car batteries have short lives here too. Thank you for the comment and the input.
@@jascogoods your fingers will get sticky if you live in a dessert.
My Ryobi hand tools have been great. Important to check out specs. Now, my table saw has just ONE miter slot, which sucks, and it's tabbed, which sucks more the same. It cuts well though.
PS - the same company that makes Milwaukee makes Ryobi.
Its really interesting how split people are on Ryobi. I am glad they worked out for you. I only had problems with the batteries dying but that could be the heat where I live. I heard that about them being the same company before. Thanks for the comment.
I was thinking of asking for a Dewalt Sliding Compound Miter saw for the holidays, until I saw this, as I mine is not "sliding" (first "big tool"), and I'd like to make larger cuts. I FOR SURE don't have the 4 foot area that it needs to work. I'd love any suggestions from people who have other, similar compound sliding miter saws. I've had pretty good luck with Makita, but not sure if others do on a similar item. Thanks sooooo much, and you make me laugh! 😂
Thank you so much for the encouragement, It is appreciated. The saw works great and I love the power and how wide of cuts I can make now. but like you I just don't have the room. hopefully more people comment with some advice for us!!
I totally disagree with your opinion on Ryobi. I own 15 different tools from Ryobi , some I bought with batteries and some tool only. I have had 2 of the smaller batteries quit working in the 10 years I have been using them. I use them almost daily. Either I have been fortunate or you have been unfortunate with your experience. Plus the convenience of the batteries fitting every tool. I had the blue set to start with too. The Nicad batteries were junk. I still have the blue vacuum and reciprocating saw, which still work great with the Lithium batteries. JMO
Thats great you had good luck with Ryobi. Everyone has to form an opinion from their own experience. You would think it would be somewhat consistant from all users but when it comes to Ryobi I get comments from some people that love them and some people that hate them. I think I a more in the center. I think they can get the job done and are priced very good. I only had issues with the batteries. With that said after using different brands there is a noticeable difference in quality and power when you put them head to head with more expensive brands. We all have the freedom to decide if the difference is worth the price for the higher brands. Thank you for sharing your experience, I appreciate it.
Regarding those cheaper Milwaukee batteries. Home depot will not only match the Amazon price, but they'll beat it by 10% Much easier warranty process if something goes sideways as well. That 10% goes for everything, as long as they carry that same item #
That is great to know!! Thank you, I appreciate the info. I will definitely try this.
The Makita is really nice and works really well.
a few people have said that, thank you for the input, its appreciated. I like Makita tools too.
The Bosch is awesome. I love mine
Thats good to know, thanks for sharing. Can you put it against the wall like in this video?
@@jascogoods yeah. And mine came out of the box dead on accurate. I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again
I have the blue Ryobi drill with the battery that died on me- I’m holding on and holding out hope that somehow I can recharge it.
And I forget that Amazon is like eBay and Facebook Market Place when buying stuff. That said- a lot of those tools could have been the ones stolen from the big box stores and resold online. I think estate sales are the safest bet for cheaper tools nowadays.
I still have my Makita that I bought in the 90s and I am waiting for the same thing!! 😂😂😂 I didn't think of the stolen tool thing! In December it will be a year since I have bought mine and they are still selling them. That is a lot of stolen batteries. I haven't tried the estate sales but I am looking forward to checking one out.
The "How To Home" channel has a video on reviving dead batteries that's worth a shot instead of just chucking the old ones when they won't charge.
Thank you I appreciate the info. I have been hanging on to these incase I find a way to revive them so I will definitely check it out.
Many times the so-called smart chargers are the problem. I came across several car jumpstart/chargers and my best is one I got over 30yrs ago. It obviously wasn't a smart charger but it'll charge unlike the smart chargers which indicates you have a faulty battery.
Brother there is a way to make those old batteries work like new. Don’t throw them away.
yes, someone sent me a video I just need to try it out. I have been holding onto them for years hoping something would come along to fix them! 😂
I know someone who would want to fight you for talking bad about ryobi. Lol. That said I had a ryobi drill and a dewalt, but I like the ryobi better. That said I loved the Milwaukee drill I used at work
Yea some people get really defensive when you talk about Ryobi!! 😂😂 People either love them or hate them. I really didn't have a problem with the tools function, I mostly had problems with the batteries. Milwaukee is my favorite drill/driver I have used. Thanks for the comment and sharing your experience.
That DeWalt can not go up against De Wall. I have the earlier model of that saw as well.
Did you mean the Dewalt because that's what I was saying in the video. 😂😂 Are you confirming what I said or are you talking about one of the other saws?
I have 2 batteries for ryobi that are seven years old. With no problem. I have never run the batteries 1/4 of a charge.
Mine are all hit-or-miss... fortunately you can replace the cells as needed or buy an adapter for Dewalt/Milwaukee/etc batteries to fit into the Ryobi tools.
That is really interesting. I wonder if its because my garage is so hot in these Vegas summers. I had a Makita and those batteries lasted me about 7 years and it was from the 90s.
That large sticker on your circ saw blade will cause a vibration
Thank you, I didn't know that. It wouldn't peel off. Ill have to use my heat gun. I hate the stickers they put all over everything.
Yeah, I started out buying the Ryobi 6 tool combo set for 200. Bucks then was buying 2 - 4 amp hour batteries for 99. Bucks and get a free tool but months later when I went to use the batteries they were junk. So hell with Ryobi, 3 junk batteries out of 4. I'll stick with Harbor freight tools. They work good for home use and never had a battery fail yet.
Glad to know I'm not the only one. It seems to be really mixed. A lot of people are saying they have had batteries last for years and some people had the experience me and you had with the batteries. thanks for sharing.
Yep, great video once again.
thank you brother, I appreciate your comments!
Came here for woodworking, but I stayed for the comedy.
😂😂😂 Welcome aboard!!
I have m12 batteries as old as 2009 steal work .
wow I didn't even know they made m12 that long ago. Thanks for the info.
Good video 👍
Thank you, I appreciate that.
Wouldn't buy Ryobi if you paid me now, I bought the moto their system and had 3 tools stop workers ng, burn out within 1 to 3 months of guarantee running out . I'm not a heavy user either in fact the opposite
Yea I feel your pain, some people say they are great and others say never again! I can't figure it out. Thank you for sharing.
“Opps something just broke” 😱😂😂 Thousands of workers, fitting and farting, swearing by and using Ryobi tools, at least 💯. My good friend and his son swear by them, and have all the green tools. So, being the friend, asked to try them out, ummmm, “bangs head on desk”, why, why did I do that?! So tried your favourite big box store HD, Rigid, “ bangs head on desk”, looking at a mirror, seeing these red marks and bumps on my head, not going away! I am looking punch drunk and sore, cries.
Missing my full Dewalt kit that I sold to another friend that had his tools stolen. Okay tried team yellow, yet, green and orange make my forehead hurt, and my desk looking dented at one side. Now, sneaking a look at team red, being a forlorn unrequited love from a distance. Yup, had enough, walked into HD, got a card and bought, a team blue kit! Huh, well Makita was another make I have been hiding my love and desire for. My good friend, though wondering why I did not like his green kit, looked at me suspiciously, “You go on and on about Milwaukee, yet went and bought Makita?.” 🧐😖 Scowling at me! “Umm buddy”, I answered quietly, “ They both start with an M, no R’s, D’s or whatever for me, only M’s” Grinning back at him.
Over the year, buying and filling up my team blue tools, and always bought them with bonus free 5amp battery and charger, with….. no regrets. Batteries, last and hold their power, (something a lot do not get, any lithium battery watchamacalls it, always charge, discharge, charge, discharge, from the get go, they perform better and last longer). I learned a long time ago, get what you need that is reliable, and always pay a bit more for quality. Quantity, you can always get more as you need them, down the road. Though, I have to admit, Milwaukee’s brad nailer ( thinking on the 12v as I do have their Fuel driver, which is awesome) are better, not really hung up on the Makita ones.
The moral of the story, there is none, since I am sure HD’s return dept hates me, well maybe, did hate me, until I settled on the blue tools. Still, I swear by Dewalts corded 5” palm sander, which does a magnificent job. How do I know, I returned the cordless, green and orange crappy, wood wreaking, others. Don’t short change yourself, even if you do not call yourself, a so called professional, quality surpasses, cheap. “Yes, I agree with you”
Btw, a tad bit of history, I was in the trades, renovating. Retired now, yet, electrical, plumbing, tiling, Master Painter Refinisher, demolition, framing, flooring, roofing, seen it all, used so many, know my tools. What works for you, is what is important, not what others say.
Oh, those zero clearance miter saws, seen and heard, they should be avoided.
Thank you so much for sharing all that wisdom and experience. I too went back and forth trying to decide between red and blue. My first cordless drill was a Makita with the long battery that went in the handle like loading a clip!! my second was a 12 volt Makita. 12 volts was high powered at the time. I was a Makita fan in the early 2000s but I only had Ryobi money!! 😂 I don't remember what ended up swaying me to Milwaukee a few black Fridays ago. It might be that they had more cordless tools than Makita at the time.
Rebuild the batteries!
I didn't even know you could do that!! Where do you get the components?
@@jascogoods
We have a batteries +, store that would do them. Here is a video of diy from youtube. He first jumps it, when that doesn't work he rebuilds it. There are more videos out there, this is just an example.
Amazon or a battery store for replacements. ✌️
ruclips.net/video/_ier8mGLrR8/видео.htmlsi=--HEnsxMIzEXb7AN
This guy doesn't have a clue. That Ryobi BT 3200 table saw was the best saw i ever owned. This guy doesn't realize that if that sliding crosscut table track sticks out, you can just reverse the table and have it stick out the back when not in use.
You buy the cheapest band saw on the market and what do you expect.
He also doesn't know that rechargeable batteries wont charge when they have have zero power, the charger wont read the battery. You have to jump it for 5 mins, put a slight charge on it so the charger can read it. or better yet, dont run the battery completely out of power.
And the big news is Amazon is cheaper than Home Depot , all I can say is 'wow".
Amazon has counterfeit batteries now.
Thats crazy, you would think the companies would go after them. thanks for the info.
I started with buying a brushless Milwaukee drill and driver, but then discovered everything that took the same battery cost more than other brands. I eventually bought a Ryobi ONE+ brushless hammer drill. I didn't install the handle and I just use it as a conventional drill. I like it better than my brushless Milwaukee drill. It came with a 2 Ah battery, a charger, and a free 2 Ah battery. Home Depot was running a special that if you purchased a Ryobi ONE+ tool, you got a free battery.
I then picked up a Ryobi ONE+ edger. It too came with a 4.0 Ah battery and charger. Once you have at least two chargers and a few batteries, you're good to go. I've since bought a Ryobi tire inflator and a hot glue gun. Both have been great to have. Milwaukee doesn't even sell tools like that.
Yea I hear what you are saying with the prices of Milwaukee batteries. They are over priced for sure!! I am surprised you like the Ryobi drill better than the Milwaukee because I feel like the Milwaukee is much more powerful and holds a charge forever. My Ryobi is older so that may make a difference too.
On a different topic, your name says you are from MD. I used to live in Catonsville and other places I don't remember because it was pre Jr High.
@@jascogoods The Ryobi hammer drill is is more powerful than my Milwaukee M18. The Ryobi has 750 inch pounds of torque and a top speed of 2,100 RPM. In comparison, the Milwaukee M18 has 500 inch pounds of torque and a top speed of 1,800 RPM. I had to look it up, I didn't have those stats memorized. The most important thing about the Ryobi is it just fits my hand perfectly. 🙂 I was planning on selling it on Facebook Marketplace, but if you've ever had the experience of selling used tools on Facebook, I decided to just keep it.
I'm a Maryland transplant. I moved here after getting out of the Air Force in 1994. I came here for work. I planned on staying a year or two until I could find a job back home in California. I then met my wife here and my plans changed.
I Bough Me Ryobi Tools & I
Never Had A Bit Of Trouble With Them. I Even Bought Me
A Ryobi Miter Saw & I
Never Had A Bit Of Trouble
With Any Of Any Of Them
Alot Of People Say Ahhhh Ryobi
Is Junk & I Say What The Hell
Do They Know.
I don't know much that's for sure. 😂😂😂 Its really interesting how some people either have a great experience with Ryobi or some people have a bad experience with them. I also had the Ryobi myter saw and never had a problem with that. But compared to the Dewalt it was like a kids saw.
everybody knows you never go full Ryobi
😂😂😂 That is an awesome saying because its true!!
When it comes to Table Saws... anything without a cast iron deck is crap.
As a more so hobby wood worker my self but getting into bigger projects slowly I will never in my life support or by dewalt or Milwaukee products or any other over priced big brands.
Unless these tools cure cancer or give me lucky lotto numbers they can keep there asses on the shelf which every time I go to home depot I see then fully and overstocked collecting dust.
Oh look a drill for $150 awesome wait the battery is $200? I just spent $350 for a fucking drill? $200 for a orbital sander?? Fuck out of here I'll buy affordable tools and when they die 2-5 years I can replace then with ease not feeling like I just tried to put my dumb kid through college and wasted my money
Don't hold back please, tell me how you really feel!😂😂😂 Hey to each their own as they say. Some people love Ryobi and others hate them, its really interesting to see how split everyone is. Someone commented on one of my older videos that they stopped watching when they saw me take out a Ryobi drill. 😂 I do think Milwaukee is better quality but I have to admit the high prices and higher battery prices irk me. I am still on the fence to whether or not they are worth it. Thank you for your comment.
3 different sets of battery sets not holding a charge, and all failed the same way and about the same amount of time I would check the electric at your house. get at battery back up/ power conditioner my help.
look in to WEN tools you may like those and they are not death to your bank account
Thank you, I appreciate the advice. It was a few different houses so its probably not that but I do think it could be the heat here in Vegas.
OK what rhymes with testful?
Festool!! 😂😂😂
I use Milwaukee tools. No problems ever.
I really don't get why you never tried rigid they have batteries for life they often also make sure the tool does the job on all of my reviews I have seen they always say they do the job they aren't the best in the review ever but they are always rated as does the job just not great and they are there for the lifetime of the company
I do have a few Rigid tools. I have a ridged router that's awesome. I just don't have any of their battery powered stuff. when I was looking at battery powered tools some of the Rigid tools looked clunky. I was looking at combo kits on black Friday to get the best deal and when I was researching it most people were saying either Milwaukee, Makita, Dewalt, or Ryobi. Its hard to try a new battery powered tool because you have to invest in the whole battery system. That means different chargers and more batteries. Thank you for the comment.
what? Bro you have bad luck with batteries. do you have the ONE + HP ones too? theyre supposed to be supercharged. :/
Yea they are the one +. I am not sure if the ones that stopped charging are the HP ill have to look at them again. They have a new battery they just came out with that's supposed to be really good. Much better than all their previous ones. I might get a few for the tools I still have.
Ahh..The old buy once cry once conundrum.
😂😂😂 You are familiar too!!
I would regret buying that table saw if I was you as well.
I'll do my part for those homeless tools and subscribe....hopefully they will be able to find a home in your shop.
😂😂😂 Thank you, I really appreciate it!! I will make room for any new tool!😂
I am so heartbroken for those poor orphaned tools, where do I send my money?
😂😂😂 all you have to do is Just keep watching my videos and like and comment! I really appreciate your support!!
Those cheap batteries on Amazon are fraudulent. Close but no cigar.
Your saw might treat you better if you pronounce his name correctly: Ree-o-bee.
😂😂😂 I hear people say it both ways but most importantly they say it Ri-o-bee in their commercials. So I say it how they say it. 😂 Thank you for the comment.
I had to stop about half way through. Complaining about incredibly cheap tools after 15 yrs. To top that off saying you can't afford to replace a small Milwaukee battery. I mean we've all been there and lots of days I still am but I don't go on RUclips complaining about cheap 15 yr old tools. Maybe the video got better but I had watched more than I wanted to hoping for improvement.
You missed out because the video got wayyyyy better. The next tool I complained about was only 10 years old and then I took my shirt off.
lol at your table saw. What do you expect when you buy plastic? Buy cheap stuff and get crappy work
Yea I learned that lesson the hard way.
@@jascogoods Like the saying goes, you get what you pay for.
Never buy Ryobi. That's garbage. And warranty is a scam.
LoLLL
😂
😂😂😂😂roybi it’s garbage 🗑️ it’s for broke people showing to work with roybi you will loock cheap and broke🤣🤣🤣🤣
what's wrong with looking cheap and broke? I look like that all the time even when I'm using Milwaukee!! 😂😂
@ to bad for you bro
Buy 😂 garbage
bye trash 😂
That workshop is a mess. Organization goes a long way. Throw that useless and broken stuff away and clean up.
😂😂😂 I agree, I need to get ta cleanin!!!
