Eh, I've got ryobi, Makita, Hilti, Bosch, Milwaukee, etc etc. Right tool for the right job. Find something good and use it, brand not important unless you're just starting out, poor, and sticking to 1 battery system.

In Yurop? Ryobi sets are dirt cheap in the US when Home Depot has sales. The Xmas sale was like 7 brushless tools and a couple batteries for $250.

>>1565596
Milwaukee ends up being much more expensive for an increase in quality that the home gamer will barely even notice. If Milwaukee is built for 300 hours of real abuse and Ryobi will hold up for 250hrs of use around the garage, is it worth it for Boomer Joe to pay 3x as much for the red? Green isn’t built to fall off anl roof once a week but that probably won’t happen in the 10yrs Boomer Joe is running it.

They are certainly good enough if you are on a budget. My ryobi miter saw did the job I needed, but all its angles are wrong. My sawzall has been beat to shit but still works. My Milwaukee impact driver (12v brushed) is the only thing to have actually failed and I only used it for my own home projects over about 5 years.

>> No.1565656

Their impact is the only ryo tool I've been happy with for years. I kick the shit out of it and it works like new. It has a more trottle sensitive trigger than any other impact i've seen, so I can use it for many driver tasks and you'll find yourself dropping far fewer screws.

Their battery system is cool. The 5AH is a go to.

Jigsaw = shit. Router = the adjustable base is shit. String trimmer = plastic shit, but it gets little jobs done. Grinder = not recomended, but a grinder is a grinder.

Brushed tools always get that little arc, especially with changing speeds and start-stop, and you get a tiny bit of electrical smell. But if you’re smelling a real strong burning scent, you may want to check out the brushes and make sure the connections are good and it’s clean. Some of the motors have built in brushes and there isn’t much you can do, so if they’re fucked up you will probably end up burning up some connection and need to send it back for warranty work.

Nonsense. Just don't buy crap. I have an early-2000s V28 Milwaukee kit on its second set of batteries...which I bought in 2011. It's cut up cars and trucks in salvage yards, clipped truck frames to make trailers and more. For lighter work I've DeWalts which survive abuse just fine. Really any decent brand is adequate today. Same chinks make 'em.

I also collect industrial quality corded tools for in-shop use because buying a ginormous pile of batteries doesn't suit my desires.

I own a shitload of ryobi one+ tools.

First day I had my impact driver, i used it at work and drove several 10" lag bolts into a brick wall and into a floor joist on the other side. Made me smile.

4 years later I have 6 of the 4amp hr batteries and been using the circular saw, multitool, angle grinder, radio (i dont like the little radio), sawsall (untill it was stolen), impact, and drill on a daily basis.

My main gripe is that the obvious tools they should make, like milwaukees portaband and 3/8 ratchet - they dont. Secondly, their 6 port battery charger kind of sucks in my opinion, because it only charges one fucking battery at a time.

IR battery powered tools don’t exactly keep up. They’re nice but it’s hard to justify buying it when you’re going to need another set of Milwaukee batteries to run the tools that IR doesn’t offer.

>>1568597
>portaband & ratchet
They do that for a reason. Makes you think twice about buying the cheaper line even if you’re a DIY guy who only needs it for weekend stuff. It’s part of the reason I’m still not 100% satisfied with my Ridgid stuff, they have everything I need but are missing a couple tools that I want. I’m hoping they release more Octane tools like a high torque impact that I can bust a nut with.

>should make 3/8 ratchet but don't

They kind of do though; it's an available head for the Ridgid JobMax multitool, all of which are interchangeable with the Ryobi JobPlus multitool. The size and shapes of the Max/Plus bases plus 18v brick batteries may leave a bit to be desired for what I'd consider the typical uses of say, the M12 ratchet however, but the head does exist.

although the 12 volt 1/2 inch compact impact looks really interesting, wonder how it compares to an 18 volt high torque

>M12 1/2”
>250ft-lbs breakaway which means absolutely nothing
It won’t touch the M18 Fuel. It will probably get off freshly torqued lugnuts with some hammering, but don’t expect it to replace a real impact wrench.

I think pic related looks about right. One of my buddies has an M18 1/2” mid-torque model and he kicks himself for not getting the high torque instead, or getting a 3/8” anvil in that mid torque. If you’re going for the 1/2”, you want something with some balls, and the rest of it you will be better off with 3/8” or 1/4” drive to get in more accessible places.

If you already have the M18 Fuel high torque for big stuff, an M12 1/4” for little stuff, an M18 3/8” for everything in the middle but you do a lot of brake jobs (outside of the rust belt) then maybe the M12 Fuel 1/2” is a tool you could use.

I have the m12 stubby 3/8 and the 1/2in m18 1400ft lb
The 3/8 took off dually diesel lug nuts essily with the 6.0 battery on it.
I rarely use my 1/2in m18, the stubby 3/8 is a beast and takes care of 99% of the bolts I run into.
It’s more powerful than the m18 3/8 impact I had before it

i got the 1/2 and 3/8 inch high torque but seeing the numbers of the 12 volt 1/2 is depressing

i dont even bother with the 1/2 high torque doing brakes, unless its on a pickup. rather just whip em off with the 3/4 air and be done with it

on a one ton though the 1/2+3/8 combo invaluable

the 3/8 sees the majority of the use, the 1/2 is just there for backup, which means the 12v 1/2 would be pretty well useless

Not the Fuel, but I just saw this on the little “Deal of the Day” 24hr sale at Home Depot. Still gripes my ass that I didn’t get M12 instead of the Ridgid because they went on sale like a week later. I think it was a “Free Tool” deal and the M12 Fuel drill + impact plus 1x1.5 and 1x4.0 packs for $199, plus a free ratchet or hackzall. Or $199 for base M12 Drill, Impact, Hackzall, 2x1.5 packs and a free ratchet or multitool. And I think they had base M12 drill + impact plus a free tool for $150, so only $35 more than Ridgid I could’ve gotten the 12v ratchet or saw at the cost of slightly worse batteries.

Also I have that m12 non fuel sawzall, it's absolutely useless, has a very short stroke and battery dies very fast, thankfully I got it for free but even the reviews online say it's trash.
The fuel m12 sawzall has good reviews tho, much longer stroke and better battery life.

Fuck. The things ive done with that cheeky little fucker, you have no idea. Can't tell you how much torque it gets too, surely goog would but I'm too lazy. I'd estimate it at "multiple times more than your fucking Ryobi". I've done some serious heavy equip work with it - in particular when the compressor in the service truck kicked it.

Best thing ever to take in the truck when going bush. Makes a half hour wheel swap a five minute cakewalk, and can do more wheels than needed.

I think this is shitty b8, but when I first started I bought a big set. They’re my weekend tools now because I bought professional grade tools for work. They work fine for small jobs, but don’t have the torque for professional work. I can impact a screw until my ryobi can’t drive it farther. I can pick up my rigid and drive it farther. I can use my dewalt and drive it completely through the material. But if you’re doing things like electrical cover plates all day, ryobi works.
I’ve also broken thousands of dollars in tools. After breaking a ryobi impact within two hours of purchase, I exchanged it for an upgrade. I was talking to the cashier, and she asked me back behind the counter to see the broken returns. It was almost all ryobi. I broke that impact putting up a cedar fence. You can’t get much more light duty than that. Next time you return anything to home despot, look at the return pile. I do, and still see more than half is ryobi. It just depends on WHAT you’re doing with the tool.

This time, I bought rigid because of a lifetime warranty. They work, but I have an old dewalt nicad and it’s geared a little tougher. If the rigid won’t do it, I’ll dust off the old dewalt.
Like many have said, it’s prefrences. Just depends on the work you do. My ryobi drill, sawsall, and dinky circular saw work great around the house. Not only would I be laughed at all day, if I brought them in front of the other contractors, the saws wouldn’t hold up to a big day of standard carpentry. My Jedi Carpenter only buys dewalt. My GC only buys Bosch. My buddy who does electrical work professionally says Milwaukee.
I look at warranty, price, and what tool repair is close, when picking new brands. Some repair shops won’t work on certain brands. Because of box stores and our disposable society, tool repair shops are getting hard to find. I had 3 around me. Now it’s just one, and he focused more on air tools instead of power tools. It can fuck up a month of work to send off a specialty tool for me.

Ryobi is good, I use their tools regularly along with my milwaukee tools. Everything feels the same to me though. I've snagged one of those $40 black and decker drills and it ran fine for a $40 drill. The price of your tools should be relative to the amount of work you're doing. Ryobi is good as an entry level work drill. The B&D is fine if you're just a hobbyist who works on stuff on the weekends.

You will find that most ryobi tool owners have several spares because they literally give them away. This set routinely goes on sale for $100 every year. Sometimes $50 for just the drill/driver set and a battery or two (literally the price of 2 batteries normally). I have three and they all still work though the oldest one is getting loose.

Okay sold at a discount. But if it breaks that's more annoying to me to get a new one then to just work on what I have always be reliable.

I don't know what retard would drop a drill off a ladder that many times nor do I know of any drill with magical non-coherency losing magnets. That being said, yeah they're pretty darn tough and I've dropped them a few times on hard surfaces and they still work. About the only complaint I have is that they're not as ergonomic, lightweight or smaller than any other drill brand I've used, but for the money I'm pretty sure that's a given. Also the 5 1/2 circular is shit, but that's because "5 1/2". I've heard better from their 7 1/2 one, but don't take it from me.
Also fucking love the battery sawzall, beat them to shit every week and they keep going.

Not that Anon, but I have two Ryobi and an old Skil drill. I find having two different size bits in each Ryobi and a countersink in the Skil saves me having to keep swapping bits around throughout a project. That shit used to drive me nuts when I only had the old Skil drill.

In short, your budget defines your toolkit. I spent maybe 10 years with mediocre or shitty gear, then finally made enough to get some legitimately decent stuff. Having the right gear, and power tools that are reliable, and are up to the task in hand makes most jobs simpler, and outcomes better.
