If you like these kinds of videos, here is a list of the videos I made building my workshop ruclips.net/video/kdnd06kkFFM/видео.html&ab_channel=SomeSkillStudio
Still have some of the blues I inherited from my uncle. They still work great and I love how Ryobi improved the batteries without changing the interface so I can use the new packs with the old tools and vice versa 👍
Robin works fine for homeowners. No way they take the beating, I know first hand. The sawzall especially. Theres a reason you don't see many contractors with ryobi. Whatever works for you...
Or millwrights who need tools that can cut through 1/2 in steel, break rusted fasteners loose that were over torqued by 100+ lb/ft, drill on high speed for several minutes at a time repeatedly, and grind as efficiently as a corded tool. Ryobi is not an industrial grade brand, and that's perfectly fine, they know it, and stay in their lane; it's ppl that don't understand how different they are from the HD brands and try to compare them that bring a negative stigma to the brand.
@@InuranusBrokoff Says the person using the ryobi corded grinder vs the guy who spent 5 times as much on the same tool. Ryobi still chugging along right along those name brands. Brand name only applies for a select few tools in the hand held corded or cordless versions. When you go pro you are buying stationary tools for a shop and that is another ball game when it comes down to production to builds. The same pro guy who is doing construction using a cordless tool is not going to matter if its ryobi or name brand. The same almost applies to most corded tools unless they are special tools. You will find even the cheap stuff from wen is just as good as a lot of the name brands. I also want to point out those name brands mostly apply to a limited number of areas. You could build 2 cordless tools with the same internals and slap a brand like Dewalt on them and Ryobi and you will find that the people who are willing to spend the money will buy the brand name and those who use the Ryobi brand will be just as happy not knowing they are the same tool. Most specs on tools are quite close while some brands exceed. There are also tool lines with in the brand. For example the cheap low cost drill set from say Ridgid is nothing like their higher tier tools. Even my older Ridgid tools several gens back are just as good as the cheap ridgid starter set you can buy.
My girlfriend's brother left his Ryobi drill on the roof...for over a year! It was up there for one heavy Winter, lots of snow, rain, etc, sitting in the harsh Summer sun on hot tar shingles for all that time, and he picked it up, hit the trigger and it started right up! A cloud of dust blew out of it, but it ran as good as new. He's still using it two years after finding it on the roof. It wasn't a new drill either, he had used it pretty heavily for three or four years before it's stint on the roof.
@@TailTaleOutdoors Thanks Dude! It's good to find a reasonable person on here. I'm not lying, I don't work for Ryobi or anything, I've got no reason to lie. He did have to put a charged battery in it first though. I know Ryobi is considered on the low end of things, but it did impress me that it survived. I've used it myself since then and it's beat to shit, but it'll drill a hole.
My first Blue Ryobi drill lasted 22 years, most of my tools are 10+ years old but some are newer. I just refresh my batteries every few years and everything works well. Ryobi works for me.
I also started w/ a used Ryobi tool (drill) & over the past few years have purchased an assortment of Ryobi, Rigid, Milwaukee (all TTI) & a couple DeWalt. Love em all & will continue building my collection, buying any/all of those brands whenever I have a specific need, or just catch a great sale.
I was looking into buying a cheap drill for a little project, but after going down a rabbit hole of comparing tools, ended up ordering that 6-piece Ryobi kit on sale for about $150. From what I've read and watched, it looks like the best bang for buck by a landslide. Looking forward to getting them in a couple days!
You gotta get the extra most bestest. Ryobi makes good brushless tools, you should try em out instead of being a haaater. The new 1/2in impact has exceeded expectations.
Same with me. I'm a 67 year old Plumbing Contractor. My son gave me a Ryobi leaf blower 10 years ago, really liked it. Was using corded tools on the job everyday. Start buying the free tool with 2 four amp batteries for 99.00. Now have over 30 one plus tools and at least 16 batteries for home and work every day. Not one tool , charger or battery has been replaced. Very very happy with Ryobi
Ryobi are great for seeing which tools you need to spend more on. If it breaks then go with the more expensive brand, but if it's something you don't use daily or beat up much then you can save a lot of money. I really like all my tools from them.
A perfectly practical purchase. I did the same with no complaints yet. Had one flaw and they took care of it with no pain in the a$$ hoops to get through. Everything I’ve needed to do myself they got the job done, and didn’t break the bank.
Exactly what I've always said, I'm a flooring contractor and most of my tools are ryobi, if I find that a particular tool isn't up to par then I'll pay for an upgrade but so far they've stood up well.
Hey that's awesome i have had and used Ryobi now for 15 years and i only had one battery that won't take a charge and my one of drill's trigger switch is acting up but it's 20 years old and i had it for 4 years on the job!! i have 23 tools and 13 batteries. Keep on building!
@@icac6122 I’ll take the brand war when it comes to sales events. It’s the best way to build a great combo, even if you have to get more than one brand or platform.
I have a good mix of Ryobi and Milwaukee in my tool box at the dealership I work at. I may get insulted for this, but most of my Ryobi tools perform just as good as my Milwaukee. The new Ryobi high torque 1/2” impact has over 1000 ft lbs of torque, and can be had at half the price of the Milwaukee.
We can all laugh at them knowing that Ryobi and Milwaukee are owned by the same parent company. I am a Ryobi guy and have some Milwaukee stuff but I absolutely won’t overpay for that when I can just get it in the Ryobi line up.
I still have the corded angle grinder I bought 15 years ago and it's been used and abused to say the least. My mom cut the power cord in half and the lockout button broke off but it STILL WORKS. I just used it to cut off Dana 60 inner Cs and swap to Reid Racing Cs. I think I paid $25 back in the day. I have almost every tool brand there is from Snapon, Klein, Matco, Mac, Craftsman, Harbor Freight, Ryobi, Nitro, Gearwrench, Starrett, Kobalt, Milwaukee, Ingersoll Rand etc. Ryobi has an awesome price point to durability ratio if not the best one. Remember it's a good thing people talk trash on Ryobi. It keeps the prices down and the other tool brands prices up high.
Ryobi is pretty much all I own also. I’m not using them professionally so they’re perfect for what I do. Plus they’re always coming out with great new products
Yeah Ryobi is great for home use. Im not using my Ryobi in mud, snow and rain im using it for putting up shelves building my deck hanhing a tv stand building a shelf im not building a home dropping my tools on the ground or using it 8hrs a day 5 days a week in the harsh elements ergo why i use Ryobi.
I use them also, for two reasons they work well and number two no one steals them on the job and if they do, they’re very reasonable to replace. Try that with one of those red tools.
I’ve had a ryobi drill and driver for about 13 years now. No issues no battery changes. Dropped them, left them outside in the rain, still work pretty well for homeowner activities.
I switched from Dewalt to Ryobi in 2016 because Ryobi had a much more extensive line of tools that would all work on the same battery while Dewalt had just introduced their 20 volt lithium battery which was not compatible with the older 18 volt tools. I now own around 40 Ryobi tools, but I have burned up 3 of them. An 18volt corded “dremel”, a palm sander, and a circular saw. But all 3 of them burning up were my fault!! For what I do, Ryobi is perfect!
I love Ryobi people, everyone is out here yelling that their tools are no good, and they don't hear it cause they're off fixing or making stuff and just don't care. they're that meme where someone is yelling "nooo BRAND is soo much better!!" and they're just like "i made a cool box today"
Heres my opionion as a construction worker and a professional handyman. Ryobi is fantastic for the husband do list they're affordable, damn near age proof battery compatability, they have every gismo and gadget needed for housework. If you need Build a shelf hang a frame put up tv stand they get the job done. Youre not using these tools 8hrs a day 5 days a week to earn a living. However if i was on a jobsite working 8-12 hrs a day 5-6 days a week in the rain, snow, dust and mud i wouldnt want ryobi but for at home i wouldnt over pay for tools that will sit for weeks months or even years until they are needed so i buy ryobi for my home.
I started in 2008 with the same $199 6 tool Ryobi kit. The tools other than the circular saw held up pretty well, but the saw was always wildly underpowered and eventually the motor went up in smoke and it died cutting a couple 2x4s. It's very weak, but cheap enough. When I tried better tools later on, I switched over to Milwaukee and Dewalt (used or on sale only) and the power and speed of those are 3-4 times that of Ryobi, but Ryobi is still fine for the DIYer for light duty jobs. With angle grinders, circular saws, reciprocating saws and other high-draw tools, these more expensive brands will save you 30-40% in time alone, let alone longevity. Ultimately you just have to decide what tools are worth to you, and I'd rather own $1,000 worth of tools that save me 40% in time and that last 30 years, than own $300 in cheaper tools that are a lot weaker and slower, but there's no wrong answer. It' mostly budget central.
I do a lot of diy home improvement and hobby stuff. All my cordless tools are Ryobi. Its perfectly good for moderate use. They have never failed yet. Its been 15 years. Also, if you do some research, you will find many of the bigger brand name tools are made in China, at the same factories.
I’ve been waiting for my Ryobi’s to break. While I’ve been waiting, I’ve gotten more Ryobi tools. I got top shelf for hand tools like pliers, but power tools I go budget first.
Heck yeah man. I started with ryobi and still have a majority of my tools by them. I may have picked up some Milwaukee if I find a good deal but I love ryobi and do not get the hate for them.
I started out with Ryobi. They were OK for around the house stuff, but I knew that if I used them on the jobsite that they would be ruined almost instantly and that they wouldn't perform to the same level as Milwaukee or DeWalt. So i sold all of my Ryobi on Craigslist, met the buyer in the Home Depot parking lot, walked in to HD and started buying the professional grade Milwaukee.
TTI makes s decent Tool... ,I have 45 Ryobi One+ and OPE tools, from SDS hammer drill to an Auger. Never going backwards to the others. My original Ryobi purchase was a clutched drill to replace a failed DeWalt screw gun in order to finish a job cheaply. Still have it.
I've been on the Milwaukee platform for over ten years since I bought an impact wrench that was rated as having the highest torque at the time. Since then, I've only been buying Milwaukee since I was already on the battery platform. It's a lot like smartphones. Once you're in their ecosystem, it's more convenient to stay than leave. But I also recently bought a Ryobi set since they had a tool that Milwaukee didn't offer and I haven't bought another Milwaukee tool since. If I had to start over, I'd probably go Ryobi.
wow its soo cazy cause i started with the same ryobi leaf blower charger battery combo then just bought danmn near same or similar 6 for 200 bundle on sale.
My philosophy is buy ryobi first, and when i kill a tool (and warranty claims arent possible) i upgrade that to a big boy brand. So far the only tool ive outright killed was the hp recip saw and its been known to go up in smoke. Im actually torn on what brand to replace it with, was thinking the kobalt xtr
Yeah, my tools are Ryobi too. 2 years and some already have the stickers peeling off. One has a broken piece of plastic (it fell 8 ft but still works) and my Circ Saw have wing nuts (since their original one got lost). All still work but have a lot of wear and tear. I do home renovations doing demos, tiling, cabinets, framing, drywall and texturing. All tools have a purpose.
Depends on his daily job, mine are looking a bit beat up now, work perfect but house renovations for a living will make them cosmetically wear. If all I was doing was working in a shop making woodwork products, my tools would look new still, but concrete floors, grout and pointing removal, many hours of drilling, sanding all sorts, on the belt off the belt, dropped of all sorts..yeah they are proper scuffed. Mind you, I hate going on job with new tools, it looks like you don't work much 😂😂😂
I started with Ryobi but they died pretty quick then I went to Bosch and they were lacking too I use DeWalt mainly but I Milwaukee and Makita now some just do certain things better than others
I love Ryobi tools. Perfect price and pretty dependable, especially for home use. I don’t like to spend double-triple the price for something that will not be used every day.
I’ll be the honest person in the crowd here I love the looks of the ryobi those neon green and black combo has always been my favorite colors scheme but alas I have all red and yellow cause deep down I feel like I have to have the best of the best regardless of how little I use them.
Ryobi is the way to go and the 18 v power tool line up is insane they have everything and that also applys to garden tools it's a no Brainer the price is rite and they are durable !!!!!
I have Milwaukee M12 and Dewalt and Bauer. If I could go back I would use Ryobi over Bauer and probably stick with Dewalt. M12 is awesome, but I hate the electric clutch delay on the drill.
I use Milwaukee but I can’t knock on tho I for the average home owner or tinkerer , it works , maybe not as fast or as hard or as long but it works for 80 percent of what people need it for
I love Ryobi, the only big downside for me is that Home Depot stopped servicing them, and the closest service center that serves Ryobi is about 10h away from where I live, so effectively unless I pay a hefty price to send a tool to get it serviced under warranty, I can throw them away as they break under warranty (thankfully it hasn't happened much).
I've had two separate ryobi 18ga nailguns fail after a couple months of just doing trim. Not running them everyday either. My experience is they are crap
Ryobi is great for diy and some homeowners. I prefer dewalt because it’s what I grew up with. but I can use any, I’ve held and used many and it’s down to preference, dewalt and Milwaukee have the best and best lasting. Milwaukee is more quality but more expensive, but dewalt is more affordable but still durable. Makita or Ryobi have the best variety in tools tjo, can’t remover which
If you're one of those guys that gets hung up on tool brands, you're an idiot. If the tool does the job, it's good. Good on you for using what you want.
If you are a pro in just about anything, sure ryobi can be used and will do the job for the most part (i have doubts in heavy construction though). But if you have 2-3 tools you use very often, i would dich the ryobi on those and get a dewalt or makita. It will make work more easy.
Just tool snobs, use what works for you and let the snobs hate. The price point and functionality of the tools are great for the budget minded DIY’ers out there. I too catch shade…..💪🏼😎
Im a carpenter and have a huge selection of ryobi tools. Tbh i only buy the brushless and HP range. Ive been laughed at on site until someone trys them and goes wow. I wasn’t expecting that. Ultimately all the brands are pretty much the same and its about the trades man’s ability. Give me black and decker tools and i will destroy a diyer who has festool. My ryobi never let me down and i use them every day.
Im a huge fan of harbor freights Hercules line of tools. In My opinion they are nicer than Ryobi. But the Hercules line up is quite small. Because of this, I bought a few Ryobi tools to fill the gaps. Now I have a tool box full of blue and bright green 😂.
I own both Milwaukee and Ryobi, both companies make certain tools that others don’t. That’s why I have both, plus I’m not a mechanic, so I don’t need ALL Milwaukee stuff.
I have Milwaukee and while i like them i don't need them. If i was going to do it again I probably would go with Ryobi. If you're just a DIYer they're just fine. They don't break the bank and just as good as anything else for what you would use them for.
Ryobi products are fine for the general consumer that does 1-2 projects a month. I went with all Milwuakee and some Dewalt since i take side jobs on weekends and flip houses. Can't stand Ryobi being underpowered when time counts.
I’m a professional, a handyman/remodeler. My ryobi tools are fine. Maybe 2 seconds slower on some cuts. And when my van gets robbed like happened the day before yesterday, again. It doesn’t cost thousands to restock. FJB Robbed twice since he was in office, never before in 25 years of working.
The reason why we use Ryobi is because it works. The reason we get into Ryobi is that it's inexpensive to enter. The reason why we keep being asked is because once you go professional, the time you save with Milwaukee or Dewalt's more powerful motors and efficient designs becomes more money than the cost of the tools.
Ryobi not only has a huge variety of tools but they are reliable and inexpensive. I own Makita AEG and DeWalt as well as Ryobi, and I find Ryobi performs at par with the professional ones.
I know I sound like it but I'm not trying to be a hater, bro 2.5 years later and they still look brand new, I don't know what you do professionally but still. It takes 2 months for my work tools to look like I've had them for a decade. That being said I love Ryobi I have some at the house, only problems I've ever had was that reciprocating saw is not up to the task if you use it demoing studs. I had 3 let the magic smoke out before I switched to m18 fuel, and the difference when you're really pushing these tools is night and day. Ryobi is fantastic for DIY and shop work, but it really is horrible if you use and abuse them on a commercial job
I wouldnt turn my nose at them. Batteries are really the most expensive part of cordless tools. With that said you can buy adapters to allow you to use Makita battery on Ryobi tools. You can also buy bootleg Makita batterys or bootleg Ryobi

When I tried better tools later on, I switched over to Milwaukee and Dewalt (used or on sale only) and the power and speed of those are 3-4 times that of Ryobi, but Ryobi is still fine for the DIYer for light duty jobs. With angle grinders, circular saws, reciprocating saws and other high-draw tools, these more expensive brands will save you 30-40% in time alone, let alone longevity. Ultimately you just have to decide what tools are worth to you, and I'd rather own $1,000 worth of tools that save me 40% in time and that last 30 years, than own $300 in cheaper tools that are a lot weaker and slower, but there's no wrong answer. It' mostly budget central.
Ya all my ryobis are just fine besides the circular saw, definitely underpowered.
The 2 batteries deal with a free tool is what did me in without regrets 😁
Me too. I started out with the same tool kit he got and slowly got more and more new tools and batteries.
I do a lot of diy home improvement and hobby stuff. All my cordless tools are Ryobi. Its perfectly good for moderate use. They have never failed yet. Its been 15 years. Also, if you do some research, you will find many of the bigger brand name tools are made in China, at the same factories.
I still got a few of my old blue tools and still running strong.
I like most ryobi tools, had bad experience with the drills and multirool, so I have a lot of ryobi and milwaukee m12 tools
Yup, stuff works great
I’ve been waiting for my Ryobi’s to break. While I’ve been waiting, I’ve gotten more Ryobi tools. I got top shelf for hand tools like pliers, but power tools I go budget first.
I love ryobi tools for they are easy to fix
Heck yeah man. I started with ryobi and still have a majority of my tools by them. I may have picked up some Milwaukee if I find a good deal but I love ryobi and do not get the hate for them.
I started out with Ryobi. They were OK for around the house stuff, but I knew that if I used them on the jobsite that they would be ruined almost instantly and that they wouldn't perform to the same level as Milwaukee or DeWalt. So i sold all of my Ryobi on Craigslist, met the buyer in the Home Depot parking lot, walked in to HD and started buying the professional grade Milwaukee.
i love mine! tools, lawn equipment… heck the only thing i have that isnt ryobi is my impact, thats dewalt but it was a present!
I couldn’t agree more!
TTI makes s decent Tool... ,I have 45 Ryobi One+ and OPE tools, from SDS hammer drill to an Auger. Never going backwards to the others.
My original Ryobi purchase was a clutched drill to replace a failed DeWalt screw gun in order to finish a job cheaply. Still have it.
I've been on the Milwaukee platform for over ten years since I bought an impact wrench that was rated as having the highest torque at the time. Since then, I've only been buying Milwaukee since I was already on the battery platform. It's a lot like smartphones. Once you're in their ecosystem, it's more convenient to stay than leave.
But I also recently bought a Ryobi set since they had a tool that Milwaukee didn't offer and I haven't bought another Milwaukee tool since. If I had to start over, I'd probably go Ryobi.
wow its soo cazy cause i started with the same ryobi leaf blower charger battery combo then just bought danmn near same or similar 6 for 200 bundle on sale.
Ryobi tools are the best all around.
Ryobi tools are dope.
My philosophy is buy ryobi first, and when i kill a tool (and warranty claims arent possible) i upgrade that to a big boy brand. So far the only tool ive outright killed was the hp recip saw and its been known to go up in smoke. Im actually torn on what brand to replace it with, was thinking the kobalt xtr
Do you feel the grips are melting? I want hard grips not the soft ones anymore😭
He says he uses them everyday professionally but idk those tools look pretty damn clean, like fresh out of the box
Yeah, my tools are Ryobi too. 2 years and some already have the stickers peeling off. One has a broken piece of plastic (it fell 8 ft but still works) and my Circ Saw have wing nuts (since their original one got lost). All still work but have a lot of wear and tear. I do home renovations doing demos, tiling, cabinets, framing, drywall and texturing. All tools have a purpose.
@@antonioreyes421 Yeah because stickers matter lmfao.
Some people wipe down their tools and clean them after a job, before putting them away...
Depends on his daily job, mine are looking a bit beat up now, work perfect but house renovations for a living will make them cosmetically wear. If all I was doing was working in a shop making woodwork products, my tools would look new still, but concrete floors, grout and pointing removal, many hours of drilling, sanding all sorts, on the belt off the belt, dropped of all sorts..yeah they are proper scuffed.
Mind you, I hate going on job with new tools, it looks like you don't work much 😂😂😂
I started with Ryobi but they died pretty quick then I went to Bosch and they were lacking too I use DeWalt mainly but I Milwaukee and Makita now some just do certain things better than others
Funny that he turned the camera away fast when the Makita drills where in view😂
I love Ryobi tools. Perfect price and pretty dependable, especially for home use. I don’t like to spend double-triple the price for something that will not be used every day.
Do you have any other type of tools
I’ll be the honest person in the crowd here I love the looks of the ryobi those neon green and black combo has always been my favorite colors scheme but alas I have all red and yellow cause deep down I feel like I have to have the best of the best regardless of how little I use them.
Ryobi is the way to go and the 18 v power tool line up is insane they have everything and that also applys to garden tools it's a no Brainer the price is rite and they are durable !!!!!
The recip saw and oscillating tool from that set can do absolutely nothing that they are supposed to do. But Im glad they work for what you need.
I have Milwaukee M12 and Dewalt and Bauer. If I could go back I would use Ryobi over Bauer and probably stick with Dewalt. M12 is awesome, but I hate the electric clutch delay on the drill.
Same reason I did
I use Milwaukee but I can’t knock on tho I for the average home owner or tinkerer , it works , maybe not as fast or as hard or as long but it works for 80 percent of what people need it for
I love Ryobi, the only big downside for me is that Home Depot stopped servicing them, and the closest service center that serves Ryobi is about 10h away from where I live, so effectively unless I pay a hefty price to send a tool to get it serviced under warranty, I can throw them away as they break under warranty (thankfully it hasn't happened much).
I've had two separate ryobi 18ga nailguns fail after a couple months of just doing trim. Not running them everyday either. My experience is they are crap
Ryobi is great for diy and some homeowners. I prefer dewalt because it’s what I grew up with. but I can use any, I’ve held and used many and it’s down to preference, dewalt and Milwaukee have the best and best lasting. Milwaukee is more quality but more expensive, but dewalt is more affordable but still durable. Makita or Ryobi have the best variety in tools tjo, can’t remover which
If you're one of those guys that gets hung up on tool brands, you're an idiot. If the tool does the job, it's good. Good on you for using what you want.
true
This
Question is why not ryobi?
If you are a pro in just about anything, sure ryobi can be used and will do the job for the most part (i have doubts in heavy construction though). But if you have 2-3 tools you use very often, i would dich the ryobi on those and get a dewalt or makita. It will make work more easy.
They have a good ecosystem for their batteries
I have had Ryobi tools for 10 years that work perfectly. There is no need to hate
Wow so beautiful saw goods idea goods product nice 👍
Just tool snobs, use what works for you and let the snobs hate. The price point and functionality of the tools are great for the budget minded DIY’ers out there. I too catch shade…..💪🏼😎
Nice bro
Im a carpenter and have a huge selection of ryobi tools. Tbh i only buy the brushless and HP range. Ive been laughed at on site until someone trys them and goes wow. I wasn’t expecting that. Ultimately all the brands are pretty much the same and its about the trades man’s ability. Give me black and decker tools and i will destroy a diyer who has festool. My ryobi never let me down and i use them every day.
Im a huge fan of harbor freights Hercules line of tools. In My opinion they are nicer than Ryobi. But the Hercules line up is quite small. Because of this, I bought a few Ryobi tools to fill the gaps. Now I have a tool box full of blue and bright green 😂.
Oh, Ryobi? Just a charming little company owned by China 😁
Battery lock in is real. It makes sense that the only cheap way to get batteries is through package deals.
I own both Milwaukee and Ryobi, both companies make certain tools that others don’t. That’s why I have both, plus I’m not a mechanic, so I don’t need ALL Milwaukee stuff.
The blower kicks ass. Just looking at it makes me sick, mostly because it works and i didnt think it should.
One has to be lucky to stumble upon ryobi tools.
I have Milwaukee and while i like them i don't need them. If i was going to do it again I probably would go with Ryobi. If you're just a DIYer they're just fine. They don't break the bank and just as good as anything else for what you would use them for.
Ryobi products are fine for the general consumer that does 1-2 projects a month. I went with all Milwuakee and some Dewalt since i take side jobs on weekends and flip houses. Can't stand Ryobi being underpowered when time counts.
I’ve had Ryobi tools for years and have never had an issue.
Ryobi gets her done every time . And you’re not paying extra high prices for brand name tools. Love ryobi!
Ryobi make good tools.
Ryobi just works
I’m a professional, a handyman/remodeler.
My ryobi tools are fine.
Maybe 2 seconds slower on some cuts.
And when my van gets robbed like happened the day before yesterday, again. It doesn’t cost thousands to restock.
FJB
Robbed twice since he was in office, never before in 25 years of working.
They just work, period.
The reason why we use Ryobi is because it works. The reason we get into Ryobi is that it's inexpensive to enter. The reason why we keep being asked is because once you go professional, the time you save with Milwaukee or Dewalt's more powerful motors and efficient designs becomes more money than the cost of the tools.
I’m a ryobi power tool guy with harbor freight hand tools. Life time warranty and cheaper than snapon or duralast
If it works for you that's what matters, god bless
I've been Ryobi for a long time, but im dumping like 2k on Milwaukee and making the jump.
My net worth is 2 million and I use a Ryobi but my friends who Milwaukee are not a millionaire
Ryobi is probably the best choice for the average homeowner. There is nothing wrong with them!
Milwaukee is just up-charged Ryobi with red instead of green plastic.
Yeah they’re the best for home. But the battery and lack or torque is useless in construction 😂
I use ryobi tools daily in construction. From framing to finish work I've had zero issues getting the job done.
It’s people who wasted life savings for name brands that are the most heated 😂😂
Ryobi not only has a huge variety of tools but they are reliable and inexpensive. I own Makita AEG and DeWalt as well as Ryobi, and I find Ryobi performs at par with the professional ones.
me too,
I know I sound like it but I'm not trying to be a hater, bro 2.5 years later and they still look brand new, I don't know what you do professionally but still. It takes 2 months for my work tools to look like I've had them for a decade. That being said I love Ryobi I have some at the house, only problems I've ever had was that reciprocating saw is not up to the task if you use it demoing studs. I had 3 let the magic smoke out before I switched to m18 fuel, and the difference when you're really pushing these tools is night and day. Ryobi is fantastic for DIY and shop work, but it really is horrible if you use and abuse them on a commercial job
Me too good quality tools for a good price
I wouldnt turn my nose at them. Batteries are really the most expensive part of cordless tools. With that said you can buy adapters to allow you to use Makita battery on Ryobi tools. You can also buy bootleg Makita batterys or bootleg Ryobi
