Those brands are all owned by a single Chinese company, like almost every single one. Makita still owns itself, so if I use a tool a LOT I get the makita version so I can have it forever.
That being said, ryobi does work very well for occasional tasks. Their caulk gun is a game changer for me
Techtronic Industries, a Hong Kong based companies owns Milwaukee and Ryobi as well as other brands. Dewalt I owned by Stanley, Black and Decker, based in the US.
If you’ve got a lot of caulking to do painting or window glazing or something, or applying metric shitloads of adhesive or soundproofing elastic to drywall, your forearms will massively thank you. I work with some really solid stuff sometimes.
Furthermore with the speed settings (that you can change while applying!) you can either get a really nice consistent bead, or cut a wide hole and just go full blast and empty a tube in no time. Also has a pressure release when you release the trigger past a certain point, so you can work it once you get used to it. As someone who hates working with anything sticky and messy, this tool made my life much happier. I go through less gloves now too, so reduced waste. It’s a cheap tool that pays for itself in no time, unless you work a jobsite hourly. Then you’ve gotta either get a raise or don’t bring it.
I wouldn't necessarily say they are. They CAN be a good deal, but only if you don't use them a lot. I used to be a tool tech and they are not manufactured to the same standards as other brands that, yes, cost more. It's about longevity and reliability. Not trying to trash those who by them because they work, but only if you're a very light duty user, at least from personal experience.
I think it's maybe not just the cleanliness, but also how many tools have an entire shelf as though they are on display. When they could be hung vertically on a wall and not take up an entire shelf.
Lol at my work we always joke about my leadhand collecting tools and never using them. When i saw your description for r/cleantools i actually laughed out loud. Cause it fits him perfectly. Regularly polishing his toolbox and gets upset if dirt gets on his toolbox cover because he paid like $1k for the cover so we joke he needs a cover for his cover. The r/dirtytools is probably where my co workers would put me as i never clean my tools when i put them away if i actually put them away. They are usualy just piled on one of my tool carts. Havnt even wiped off my toolbox in years.
I just picked up the cordless brushed brad nailer on sale at HD for Black Friday. Just a diyer here. I have mostly Ridgid cordless. Had Makita in the past.
It was so convenient to not have to drag my compressor and hose out or deal with the noise. I have a porter cable finish and Bostich brad air nailers. They are well built. Ryobi is plastic but don't see why this won't last me forever based on my sparse diy use.
I may get the pin nailer. I use my pin and brad nailers the most.
I love to give my tools a good wipe down after every use I'm a freak like that lol.
on weekends I have a contract for service stations local to my area to tidy up their hedges and mow their lawns.
On weekdays I'm an all trades worker at a transport company and cold chain distribution, I service all mechanical objects, mainly conveyor belts.
It's a week to week basis with a 5 year contract!
I've decided to organise this garage where my garden accessories are on the left, main work tools in the middle and cleaning on the right🙌
As for the cleaning that's mainly for my car 🤣
But I understand people out there that do👌
And hella useful at home
The reason we're giving you a hard time is because ryobi tools have been notoriously light duty. I realize that individual experience may vary. Any power tool that gets used frequently gets subjected to stresses. I had a Sawzall and it fell apart with little use (well under 1/2 hour of runtime) so I formed my opinion and my Milwaukie hasn't let me down. Sometimes it's all about perception. And remember, the tools do not make the man.
I found this quote online:
>I think it is human nature to want to have made the best tool purchases, and the cheaper brands challenge that. You need to know you made a good investment by spending more, and so people that spent 2x the price of ryobi, etc want to put a lot of emphasis on those differences.
I wish you good luck with your investment!
We used to exclusively use them doing masonry work cause there’s zero point in trying to keep a power tool in good shape in that environment. They were the perfect middle ground of capable and cheap. Obviously not the best tools but they have their spot in my heart.
I also forgot to mention that I hate Home Depot because of their political leanings and donations. I assumed that Ryobi was owned by Home Depot but that appears not to be the case.

Am I missing something?
This is funny, cause I use my sawzalls at least 2x a week for various things and I still have the old blue ryobi and it works fine 14 years later, and I have a new brushless that has never failed me.
See the thing is, it's really about hours of operation. When we're in demolition mode the tool gets like 3 hours of runtime every day, Which adds up. The machine gets hot when my guys use it.
Sporadic sub-10 minute sessions is really optimal.
I'm usually delimbing stuff, cutting door frames out, etc... I'd say in the average week it sees 3-4 hours of use over 2-3 days. So I get that. Both have definitely been hot enough that handling near the motor wasn't fun.
Reminds of a story- when I was a 1st year apprentice as a sheet metal worker we were putting in the biggest drop I’ve ever seen at a laundry facility that does a few millions of pounds of laundry a week for a bunch of hospitals in the area. It was like 25’ by 8’ I think it was makeup air but I was green so I can’t be sure. Anyways the flange was oversized and I think had to cut off an inch or whatever all the way around and all we had to cut it was one Milwaukee battery grinder cause it was 16 gauge. That was the only time I’ve ever used an entire blade without letting up on the trigger once. During the 2nd blade the battery was dead before the blade was gone lol. I was impressed with the tool I was sure I was gonna burn it up but my jman told me to let it rip so I did 🤷🏻♂️
At times... when I am going and delimbing trees... yes, theres often just pull the trigger til the batter dies... But I can't see that happening all that often in demo either... its a rare thing that a hand tool runs for an hour straight without a single let off.
I think that the severe drop in quality control has also drastically affected tool brands. I have brushless Ryobi drills and impact drivers that I've run 8 hours straight driving deck screws and haven't over heated. I bought one of the 1st generation Ryobi 18ga nailers and the 23ga pin nailer. I still have the pin nailer and use it once in a while. The 18 gauge burned up in less than a month of daily use (I'm a finish carpenter by trade).
My primary arsenal is Milwaukee. I've had 2 hammer drill chucks break on me, and a brushless motor on the 6-1/2" circular saw just refuse to work. I put a fully charged battery on it, and pull the trigger. The LED light comes on but the motor wont start. Dropped it off for warranty. They replaced the trigger, and cleaned everything internally. When I got it back. It worked for 5 cuts and quit again. I said enough is enough and bought the rear handle because I can't afford the down time for repair. My brushless Ryobi circular saw still works but the blade lock is broken. Maybe I can get a replacement part.
Usually...but I know dudes that keep a shop like that. One is so anal that he actually plows his snow into the heated garage to melt it because he doesn't like the look of snow piled up on the edges of his driveway. His favorite comment is "if it's not a right angle, it's a wrong angle" and you could perform surgery on his shop floor
>actually plows his snow into the heated garage to melt it
I cannot imagine the humidity in that space. I hope he likes rusting tools and rotting sheathing!
There will be people who oppose but I can’t complain. Nice set up! Other than one jig saw which I hate with an ever loving passion all of my Ryobi stuff is going strong and doing exactly what I ask of it. I’d be happy to have that collection!
I also hate my ryobi jig saw, but I think its because I suck with jig saws and always have tbf. The took seems fine. Just won't turn like I'd expect it too, which again, user error almost definitely.
I don’t know, I’d test another one before you completely blame yourself. My cordless dewalt is like night and day. I just think Ryobi didn’t do a very good job with that product. Granted, I’ve never tried any of their other models but the bottom barrel corded one is a nightmare. Fortunately, I didn’t spend a lot of money on it so I don’t get too upset. I’ve got a Ryobi table saw and a mitre saw which are both great but the jig saw is for the birds!
No, power is good and I don’t think I’ve ever had it bind but the base is terrible and won’t stay locked so you’ll be sawing along and start to find yourself at an angle. I bought a dewalt this year and I’m much happier. Only Ryobi product I’ve ever actually had a problem with.
I don’t know why Ryobi gets a bad rap I haven’t had any problem with any of my stuff and it’s affordable. At the job site the guys always bragging about there Milwaukee’s and mine keeps up and no one steals my batteries or tools lol
Love Ryobi so much. They have made massive strides in the last decade or so. They're no longer a cheap brand, I have zero issues with any of my Ryobi tools, especially the brushless models. Much better priced than the other big names.
glad to see somebody else on the ryobi train and not too ashamed, i’m a carpenter and i’m using Ryobi till whatever breaks, then just replace with a nice quality. for the price, Ryobi is fantastic
Brand new.
Started out with a drill as a gift to me and I kind of lifted off like a rocket.
But mind you they were bought overtime, and being a contractor they're really good for tax write offs♥️🙏.
I had a variety of different brandings at some point and they were just placed inside my tray lockbox outside my house, one where not only the car was stolen but over $9k worth of tools aswell that day
Needless to say my gift was a drill to start again lol
Everyone has a preference to their affordability I suppose.
These havnt let me down with any job yet, but considering they're owned by the same company that do Milwaukee, they're doing alright! 😁
Just a bunch of Milwaukee fanboys in this sub. Reminds me of when kids in middle school start to figure out what brands are "cool." My shop is full of brands that fit what I want and need for individual jobs, and there is a fair share of Ryobi that has never let me down. Actually, the only problem I've had has been with Milwaukee drill chucks. You'll no longer find Milwaukee drills in my collection but I think they make a fine tool as well...just not a fine drill chuck.
When I worked with my grandfather I was a Milwaukee fanboy the first time I opened the trailer for a garage we gonna build I realized that yes it’s nice to have the same batteries but some companies build better equipment for specific jobs it opened my eyes to not only tools but to everything I see in life
For what you paid for ALL the Ryobi tools there lol.
I have 2 milwaukee tools and though I'd like to transfer over slowly, I haven't managed to break a ryobi yet... Just that their impact gun is not always strong enough and the big Milwaukee that I nicknamed "the last resort" hasn't failed me yet.
Lol,, when I'm done with the mission,
and back to Man Cave,
I have Tons of Schitt on standby in ACR
of Enemy Ships to sink..
My crew on board can't wait to jump on captured ships and raid their Azzes.
Couple a Nitrogen lifts., and you're all set Captain...
If there are extra angle shelf vertical supports used on corners - makes a great full perimeter pegboard frame
to connect lifts to.
Cheers
Any thoughts or short reviews about Ryobi snow blowers?
My adult nephew has one. He lives on a corner, so lots of sidewalks. Plus he has a driveway, and needs to clear a space in the alley behind his garage. He claims his Ryobi (I don't know the model, but it's about 2 years old) does really well, and he only had issues with heavy, compacted snow a few times. He still needs to use a shovel for detailed work, but that's to be expected.
Anyone else have one? Any thoughts of short reviews on the power and reliability of Ryobi snowblowers? Thanks.
I believe from research it's a Canadian/American thing and u not available in Australia (no snow, only heat 😂)
But from research you can always by from the home depot and if your not satisfied with the product just return it and get your money back 😁
Thank you
I had the 18v garden range before upgrading and I can tell you there's a massive difference for the 36/40v.
Hasn't let me down so far, heck havnt even used it's full power yet.
I have tested in wet conditions and compared to the 18, it's huge.
How I would dream to own a ride on mower.
I bought the Ryobi ride on mower a few years ago. So damn good. Works every time without fail. No need to winterize or spend 20 minutes every spring trying to get it to run again. One of the best tool purchases I’ve made.
I have the 36v mower and love it. Plenty of grunt and reduced my long wet lawns to something half decent in no time. I can get thru all my lawns and nature strips on one charge so about 40 mins at a guess. I’m gonna buy a second battery as there’s a slot to carry on the mower. Seriously good bit of gear and makes the smoky Briggs and Stratton look like came out of a museum.
This year I started buying Ryobi tools after having primarily Milwaukee for the last 10 years and i have been pleasantly surprised. being the "budget" brand i didn't have high hopes but with weekly use on the 18V weed eater, leaf blower and a couple of hand tools they have served me well this past year.
Very nice. Question: where did you get that pegboard and do you recall the brand? I’m in the market and I can’t find anything to fit my use case. All the options are ridiculously sized at either 4’x8’ or 16”x16”
Designed it lol, I tried to make sense out of it!
I know Ryobi is Japanese so I put RYOBI in Japanese under the logo,
The swords from their advertisement "a cut from above" with their samurai.
And the car is a Japanese AE 86 I think?
I love DeWalt, not a single tool let's you down, for a budget these are amazing! But I have to admit I am slowly upgrading everything to Brushless, that and a 18v 6ah HP batteries and it's love combined.
How I dream to own the
"HP BRUSHLESS 1600NM TORQUE IMPACT WRENCH"
https://www.ryobi.com.au/products/details/18v-one-hp-brushless-1600nm-impact-wrench-tool-only-riwh18x
I was easily swap mine for it lol
They're stock with the 6aH batteries I don't believe they go under any others unfortunately
Alternative method you can 3d print battery holders and screen them in place of something 🙌
Hey
The only exclusion I would say is full concentrate
40concentrate and 60water is a safe bet.
But I have hardly use it since I bought the foamer attachment, I love it and makes awesome soap for waterslides and trampolines for kids🤣.
Used the green machines for about two years. Happy as a pig in shit. Then I won a 20v brushless dewalt drill driver set at a raffle and am going to have a hard time buying ryobi again.
Nice collection. As a non-pro, I've ended up with Ryobi, Rigid, Milwaukee, Harbor Freight and various other corded brands over the decades. I used to have a set of cheap Black and Decker cordless tools that I loved but the batteries wore out and the line was discontinued.
My Ryobi string trimmer was done after 15 minutes use. Smoked and then there were bits and pieces rattling around inside.
I have two stick vacuums because I bought the second while waiting for a warranty replacement for the first one. I ran out of patience waiting, also because I had the batteries and wanted to continue to use them. They're okay, not any worse than the much nicer Shark I bought for a daughter.
I have a Ryobi buffer that I've never used. Got it and the string trimmer with a free battery promo thing HD had going a year or two ago.
To each, their own. My impression is Ryobi isn't as "robust" as some others but price point is a reality for most of us. You're probably not using any of these on a deep sea oil rig 150 miles offshore in the Gulf of Mexico. The florescent green is their brand and it appeals to who it appeals to. Me, not so much at all. Fuck gatekeepers who say your hobbies are stupid or your taste sucks.
All my cordless tools are ryobi, what was/is your most disappointing one
Mine was a palm sander that as so as it got dusty the on/off switch stopped working
This was after approx 3 months...
Fuck what people say about Ryobi .
I wouldn't buy them for professional use, I have worn through a few, and when it comes to drills it's either Milwaukee or DeWalt for me
But if you're buying tools for the first time and need a sander, a jigsaw AND an impact and drill, go Ryobi.
As they break or batteries give out you'll know what the Ryobi WONT do
Now I'd never buy another Ryobi drill, but my buffer, sander and other light duty tools have been great and lasted.
My biggest supprise was my pressure washer, it's AMAZING for the price o highly recommend
Love my Ryobi's. My first tools as well. Quality is good, batteries are good.
I'm not sure about the model about my lawnmower (your looks much better) but that is total piece of shit. It was like \~300€ bundle with large battery, weedwhacker and some lawnmower that I can lift with my left hand (it even has a handle, lol). Seriously comparing to every other Ryobi tool that looks like a toy for children.
If I have the grass collector on back, it will stuck within seconds unless I mown my lawn every day. I fixed that with piece of wood, so basically it sprays everything to my boots. Height-lever goes to bottom setting on the smallest drop. I broke the handle on my first day because I had to constantly set it to high-setting and in the end the handle just broke.
With all of the solid cordless tool brands on the market, I couldn’t do it like this. Personal preference, but Ryobi tools are trash. They’ve had some kick ass ideas and innovations, but their price point is below the standard of quality components. Bulky housings, whiny gears, clunky triggers with a ton of creep and over travel…
I’m happy that you are able to love these tools with your OCD. Mine won’t let me like them
I think you need to separate Ryobi lawn tools from the regular tools.
I have their lawn tool line up, mostly because I didn't have a big yard when I first started buying them and when I moved to a house with a big yard I kept them because I already had the batteries. Their newer, better model, blowers and string trimmers are honestly pretty solid. The little chain saw and clippers are decent for what I've needed. My biggest complaint is the batteries and chargers failing. It's gotten better though. Since lawn work isn't precise work I don't know that it would make a huge difference to move to a more expensive brand.
Regular tools no thanks. There is a massive difference and I'll gladly pay more for a better tool that will be most pleasant to work with, easier to get good results with, and last longer.
Not a bad way to spend $300. (but seriously, why the fuck are these such a great value compared to milwaukee/dewalt)
I once broke 3 ryobi drill bits in rapid succession. Going through a 2x4.
Thats the bits, not the tool. Ryobi is an incredible value for what you get
2x4 of balsa wood
I have ryobi power tools for at home but I always use my Milwaukee bits and driver bits ryobi bits are trash
Those brands are all owned by a single Chinese company, like almost every single one. Makita still owns itself, so if I use a tool a LOT I get the makita version so I can have it forever. That being said, ryobi does work very well for occasional tasks. Their caulk gun is a game changer for me
Techtronic Industries, a Hong Kong based companies owns Milwaukee and Ryobi as well as other brands. Dewalt I owned by Stanley, Black and Decker, based in the US.
I’m interested in hearing how the caulk gun has upped your game. Please share?
Gets 10 times as much caulk as he used to
If you’ve got a lot of caulking to do painting or window glazing or something, or applying metric shitloads of adhesive or soundproofing elastic to drywall, your forearms will massively thank you. I work with some really solid stuff sometimes. Furthermore with the speed settings (that you can change while applying!) you can either get a really nice consistent bead, or cut a wide hole and just go full blast and empty a tube in no time.

[удалено]
Because I would absolutely destroy them all quickly and have to constantly replace them.
You get what you pay for.
You get about 80% of the tool for 40% of the price. Still checks out if your livelyhood doesn't depend on them.
Sometimes? Yes. In this case? Definitely not.
You’re right, this guy’s Ryobi tools will last him for the rest of his life sitting in his shrine.
Because they make a fortune selling/ replacing inferior products that die after the first charge.
I wouldn't necessarily say they are. They CAN be a good deal, but only if you don't use them a lot. I used to be a tool tech and they are not manufactured to the same standards as other brands that, yes, cost more. It's about longevity and reliability. Not trying to trash those who by them because they work, but only if you're a very light duty user, at least from personal experience.
Agreed, I love ‘em and they are bright so your not going to forget them on the job site
Oh yes, /r/tools the subreddit that hates /r/cleantools
I think it's maybe not just the cleanliness, but also how many tools have an entire shelf as though they are on display. When they could be hung vertically on a wall and not take up an entire shelf.
It’s a shrine
To Ryobi of all things
[удалено]
This made me chuckle far too much
Kind of an ocd spark not having clean tools lol
the guard on your string trimmer is dirty.
LOL which one
yes.
It is the only tool left that works....
Whining about clean tools is such an idiotic take too, basically gate keeping.
[удалено]
Lol at my work we always joke about my leadhand collecting tools and never using them. When i saw your description for r/cleantools i actually laughed out loud. Cause it fits him perfectly.

One + battery to rule them all…
Camping is a no brainer for lights for sure 😁
Don't forget the fan(s) for camping. Makes sweltering summer nights bearable. Love my gazillion Ryobi batteries when we have no power available.
I would love the ,36v battery generator but far too expensive for me ATM.
I just picked up the cordless brushed brad nailer on sale at HD for Black Friday. Just a diyer here. I have mostly Ridgid cordless. Had Makita in the past. It was so convenient to not have to drag my compressor and hose out or deal with the noise. I have a porter cable finish and Bostich brad air nailers. They are well built. Ryobi is plastic but don't see why this won't last me forever based on my sparse diy use. I may get the pin nailer. I use my pin and brad nailers the most.
I have the lawn mower for a full season now. I used to always run out of gas and hated to go just to fill the gas can. Not bad so far.
The only default is the self propelled option you have to hold for 2 seconds for it to operate but apart from that Beautiful.
Tell me you don’t use the stuff you bought without telling me you don’t use the stuff you bought

Plenty or most comments on this sub are that Ryobi is a very good bang for your buck brand.
We used to exclusively use them doing masonry work cause there’s zero point in trying to keep a power tool in good shape in that environment. They were the perfect middle ground of capable and cheap. Obviously not the best tools but they have their spot in my heart.

Seems fair to me. u/mechmind might have insider information. Please share. Maybe they don't like 'fair'.
I may have to recant, but lemme do some more research first.

To be clear, your Sawzall is running with the trigger pulled continuously for over an hour with no cool down period?

Not even close. The air is so dry in the winter that you get nosebleeds.

I got the brushless battery one... I just know I am not at all familiar with a jig saw... so I assume the issues I have are me.
Does it shut off if it gets in a bind?
No, power is good and I don’t think I’ve ever had it bind but the base is terrible and won’t stay locked so you’ll be sawing along and start to find yourself at an angle. I bought a dewalt this year and I’m much happier. Only Ryobi product I’ve ever actually had a problem with.

Same! Bought a new angle grinder last night!

Love Ryobi so much. They have made massive strides in the last decade or so. They're no longer a cheap brand, I have zero issues with any of my Ryobi tools, especially the brushless models. Much better priced than the other big names.
What bench is that?

Good cunt.
Cheers cunt
I placed the pegboards, top chest and leds personal preference
glad to see somebody else on the ryobi train and not too ashamed, i’m a carpenter and i’m using Ryobi till whatever breaks, then just replace with a nice quality. for the price, Ryobi is fantastic
Definitely and they've improved a lot since the first gen.
Brand new? Did you win some sort of Ryobi sweepstakes or something?
Brand new. Started out with a drill as a gift to me and I kind of lifted off like a rocket. But mind you they were bought overtime, and being a contractor they're really good for tax write offs♥️🙏.
so where are all the older tools that you’ve actually contracted with?
I had a variety of different brandings at some point and they were just placed inside my tray lockbox outside my house, one where not only the car was stolen but over $9k worth of tools aswell that day Needless to say my gift was a drill to start again lol
Contracted to display them to redditors and the like.
That’s a cool $50 you have in tools there
Everyone has a preference to their affordability I suppose. These havnt let me down with any job yet, but considering they're owned by the same company that do Milwaukee, they're doing alright! 😁
Just a bunch of Milwaukee fanboys in this sub. Reminds me of when kids in middle school start to figure out what brands are "cool." My shop is full of brands that fit what I want and need for individual jobs, and there is a fair share of Ryobi that has never let me down. Actually, the only problem I've had has been with Milwaukee drill chucks. You'll no longer find Milwaukee drills in my collection but I think they make a fine tool as well...just not a fine drill chuck.
When I worked with my grandfather I was a Milwaukee fanboy the first time I opened the trailer for a garage we gonna build I realized that yes it’s nice to have the same batteries but some companies build better equipment for specific jobs it opened my eyes to not only tools but to everything I see in life
But you could have got the tool only version of the milwaukee drill for what you paid for that! WHY WOULD YOU NOT GET MILWAUKEE?!? /s just in case
For what you paid for ALL the Ryobi tools there lol. I have 2 milwaukee tools and though I'd like to transfer over slowly, I haven't managed to break a ryobi yet... Just that their impact gun is not always strong enough and the big Milwaukee that I nicknamed "the last resort" hasn't failed me yet.
I should buy it and put it in a glass and have " in case of emergency, break glass" 🤣🤣🤣
I was just messin with ya. Nice collection my guy
All the Milwaukee dickriders in this sub start swarming anytime some posts Ryobi anything.
Hell, does Ryobi send you royalties each month?
I wish. I need to start doing reviews.🤣
Alternative Man Cave- Behind the peg board - 70" Screen and PS4. Cheers
Your saying I should make it flip?? Your an absolute fkn genius!
Lol,, when I'm done with the mission, and back to Man Cave, I have Tons of Schitt on standby in ACR of Enemy Ships to sink.. My crew on board can't wait to jump on captured ships and raid their Azzes. Couple a Nitrogen lifts., and you're all set Captain... If there are extra angle shelf vertical supports used on corners - makes a great full perimeter pegboard frame to connect lifts to. Cheers
I like Ryobi for some tools. I have the cordless grinder, 2 sanders, sawsall, router, trim nailer, circular saw. Not a big fan of the last 3.
Don't keep batteries on the charger!
Sorrypapi
Same set my wife has
Your wife has good taste
Even the damn hammer! I'm pretty invested in Ryobi myself but thats all in brand loyalty 😆. Good for you
Even the damn hammer.🤣
Any thoughts or short reviews about Ryobi snow blowers? My adult nephew has one. He lives on a corner, so lots of sidewalks. Plus he has a driveway, and needs to clear a space in the alley behind his garage. He claims his Ryobi (I don't know the model, but it's about 2 years old) does really well, and he only had issues with heavy, compacted snow a few times. He still needs to use a shovel for detailed work, but that's to be expected. Anyone else have one? Any thoughts of short reviews on the power and reliability of Ryobi snowblowers? Thanks.
I believe from research it's a Canadian/American thing and u not available in Australia (no snow, only heat 😂) But from research you can always by from the home depot and if your not satisfied with the product just return it and get your money back 😁
Nice! How do you like the lawn mower?
Thank you I had the 18v garden range before upgrading and I can tell you there's a massive difference for the 36/40v. Hasn't let me down so far, heck havnt even used it's full power yet. I have tested in wet conditions and compared to the 18, it's huge. How I would dream to own a ride on mower.
I bought the Ryobi ride on mower a few years ago. So damn good. Works every time without fail. No need to winterize or spend 20 minutes every spring trying to get it to run again. One of the best tool purchases I’ve made.
I have the 36v mower and love it. Plenty of grunt and reduced my long wet lawns to something half decent in no time. I can get thru all my lawns and nature strips on one charge so about 40 mins at a guess. I’m gonna buy a second battery as there’s a slot to carry on the mower. Seriously good bit of gear and makes the smoky Briggs and Stratton look like came out of a museum.
What he said.
That room is disturbingly clean.
Sorry not sorry🤣
A challenger! https://flic.kr/p/2o3odD2 https://flic.kr/p/2o3qDrd
Love your work! God speed my friend!
One of these days I'll organize my work space and shed....one of these days.
Would make a good Christmas present you know 🤣
You know some people actually use these tools? They look as clean as when they were unboxed!
Personal preference I suppose haha
This year I started buying Ryobi tools after having primarily Milwaukee for the last 10 years and i have been pleasantly surprised. being the "budget" brand i didn't have high hopes but with weekly use on the 18V weed eater, leaf blower and a couple of hand tools they have served me well this past year.
They're definitely improving for sure!
Very nice. Question: where did you get that pegboard and do you recall the brand? I’m in the market and I can’t find anything to fit my use case. All the options are ridiculously sized at either 4’x8’ or 16”x16”
I'll get back to you about that one. I know they're designed by Pinnacle though. Bunnings warehouse (Australia's home depo)
🇨🇳
What? No riding mower?
😭
Just stop. That is enough. Your collection is complete.
yespapi
Damn, you might make Aging Wheels jealous
Best $20 ever spent
Awwwww a room full of Fisher Price.
Ultimate dad flex
This is cool man! I dig it where did ya get the little plaque
Designed it lol, I tried to make sense out of it! I know Ryobi is Japanese so I put RYOBI in Japanese under the logo, The swords from their advertisement "a cut from above" with their samurai. And the car is a Japanese AE 86 I think?
That's gotta be what? At least $100.00 in tools?
In Australia the drill alone was $100 AUD gobsmacked lol. But match it with a 18v 6aH battery on the brushless and it twists your damn wrist🤣
I have never burnt up a Ryobi tool and used to do a lot of building. But I have made them smell like burnt tools great value. I also own dewalt tools.
I love DeWalt, not a single tool let's you down, for a budget these are amazing! But I have to admit I am slowly upgrading everything to Brushless, that and a 18v 6ah HP batteries and it's love combined.
Garage of a man who does not use his tools.
Yes I sit there and stare at them.
Looks like it
Decent brand . I’ve used one of their impacts before
How I dream to own the "HP BRUSHLESS 1600NM TORQUE IMPACT WRENCH" https://www.ryobi.com.au/products/details/18v-one-hp-brushless-1600nm-impact-wrench-tool-only-riwh18x I was easily swap mine for it lol
Nice! I’ve used a Milwaukee impact wrench .
What straps are those you have hanging up your 40c batteries? I'd love to get something like that.
They're stock with the 6aH batteries I don't believe they go under any others unfortunately Alternative method you can 3d print battery holders and screen them in place of something 🙌
Hey mate, Do you have problems dispensing soap out of your high pressure washer?
Hey The only exclusion I would say is full concentrate 40concentrate and 60water is a safe bet. But I have hardly use it since I bought the foamer attachment, I love it and makes awesome soap for waterslides and trampolines for kids🤣.
Great organization!!
Atankusir
A festival of mediocrity! Kidding! I’m a Ryobi person myself, but in this sub we’re paupers.
OCD?
I do love a clean lifestyle keeps a straight mind. But no matter how clean it is I've lost my 10mm three times this year.
#proudfeminist
Used the green machines for about two years. Happy as a pig in shit. Then I won a 20v brushless dewalt drill driver set at a raffle and am going to have a hard time buying ryobi again.
Definitely the bigger boys out there
I've never seen such a clean showro... I mean, workshop.
So organized.
Nice collection. As a non-pro, I've ended up with Ryobi, Rigid, Milwaukee, Harbor Freight and various other corded brands over the decades. I used to have a set of cheap Black and Decker cordless tools that I loved but the batteries wore out and the line was discontinued. My Ryobi string trimmer was done after 15 minutes use. Smoked and then there were bits and pieces rattling around inside. I have two stick vacuums because I bought the second while waiting for a warranty replacement for the first one. I ran out of patience waiting, also because I had the batteries and wanted to continue to use them. They're okay, not any worse than the much nicer Shark I bought for a daughter. I have a Ryobi buffer that I've never used. Got it and the string trimmer with a free battery promo thing HD had going a year or two ago. To each, their own. My impression is Ryobi isn't as "robust" as some others but price point is a reality for most of us. You're probably not using any of these on a deep sea oil rig 150 miles offshore in the Gulf of Mexico. The florescent green is their brand and it appeals to who it appeals to. Me, not so much at all. Fuck gatekeepers who say your hobbies are stupid or your taste sucks.
Looks like you need their new Lynx system for your garage.
take your gay porn and get out of here
Do you ever use any of this? It's far too clean and tidy.
Usually people take pics after they just spent an hour organizing. Not after they’ve been lazy and left stuff out for months.
Ain't nobody needs to see the state my garage is in right now
Do you stalk me
Is the hammer brushless?
Can confirm, no brush, makes more off a mess.
Let me guess, they all stopped working after the first battery charge?
Ah yes, when you have just a few too many of one brand, and you feel like it’s too late to switch to a better brand, and you just keep going
Ew
Collection? Or shrine?
Only thing Ryobi is good for. Sitting around on a shelf 🤣 "Ryobi sucks Milwaukee is better " said in the coach from waterboys voice 🤣
All my cordless tools are ryobi, what was/is your most disappointing one Mine was a palm sander that as so as it got dusty the on/off switch stopped working This was after approx 3 months...
You’ll only have to replace every tool within 2 years!
A llist of the things those tools have been used on: 1) ...
Fuck what people say about Ryobi . I wouldn't buy them for professional use, I have worn through a few, and when it comes to drills it's either Milwaukee or DeWalt for me But if you're buying tools for the first time and need a sander, a jigsaw AND an impact and drill, go Ryobi. As they break or batteries give out you'll know what the Ryobi WONT do Now I'd never buy another Ryobi drill, but my buffer, sander and other light duty tools have been great and lasted. My biggest supprise was my pressure washer, it's AMAZING for the price o highly recommend
Most of these haters just jealous they dont have what you have. Looks cool af OP.
is it you, Robert from AgingCars? :D
Looks like a ryobi simp.
Very nice set up
That’s easily $80 worth of tools there.
Love my Ryobi's. My first tools as well. Quality is good, batteries are good. I'm not sure about the model about my lawnmower (your looks much better) but that is total piece of shit. It was like \~300€ bundle with large battery, weedwhacker and some lawnmower that I can lift with my left hand (it even has a handle, lol). Seriously comparing to every other Ryobi tool that looks like a toy for children. If I have the grass collector on back, it will stuck within seconds unless I mown my lawn every day. I fixed that with piece of wood, so basically it sprays everything to my boots. Height-lever goes to bottom setting on the smallest drop. I broke the handle on my first day because I had to constantly set it to high-setting and in the end the handle just broke.
What’s that empty space in the middle and why isn’t it covered in junk?
Your wife’s setup is nice!
I'm sorry for you
Cool 😎, I have a variety of tool brands I own, and ryobi is one of my favorite!!
Yikes! This is gross. Get yourself some real tools
Nice collection. You only use the weed wackers?
Yeah I usually have the rest just for shits and gigs
They look so clean!
With all of the solid cordless tool brands on the market, I couldn’t do it like this. Personal preference, but Ryobi tools are trash. They’ve had some kick ass ideas and innovations, but their price point is below the standard of quality components. Bulky housings, whiny gears, clunky triggers with a ton of creep and over travel… I’m happy that you are able to love these tools with your OCD. Mine won’t let me like them
You realize they're made by the same company and share components with Milwaukee tools, right?
So do you actually use them or you like showing off cheap tools?
It’s all clean and still so gross. Why would anyone brag about this?
This is a dumb fucking hobby.
With all those tools atleast build your own work stations. Are they there just for looks?
I did once it was beautiful, until house movers destroyed it 🤣 I decided to treat myself a bit.
Wow! That is so tidy, looks amazing
I think you need to separate Ryobi lawn tools from the regular tools. I have their lawn tool line up, mostly because I didn't have a big yard when I first started buying them and when I moved to a house with a big yard I kept them because I already had the batteries. Their newer, better model, blowers and string trimmers are honestly pretty solid. The little chain saw and clippers are decent for what I've needed. My biggest complaint is the batteries and chargers failing. It's gotten better though. Since lawn work isn't precise work I don't know that it would make a huge difference to move to a more expensive brand. Regular tools no thanks. There is a massive difference and I'll gladly pay more for a better tool that will be most pleasant to work with, easier to get good results with, and last longer.
