more falafel please posted:it's heavy, it's kinda bulky, but it works well. Adding to this -- I've used the brad nailer for a couple years. From woodworking projects to baseboard installation. Yes, it's bulky, but only on the back side, you can get into reasonably tight corners with the business end. Plus, it's got plenty of power. I've shot 3" brads into studs, plywood and poplar and never had one fail to fully sink.

I use it for small woodshop things like jigs, etc. But I've also used it to install trim in a few rooms, do multiple closet built-ins and all sorts of other stuff. The only downside is it's a bit heavier and bulkier than my old air nailer.

I remember reading that about them when I bought it, but for the work I do I don't even notice it. Edit: Well, compared to firing up the compressor, and taking out the hose to fire a dozen nails it's much faster.

Dealing with a hose and my lovely pancake compressor makes me want a cordless gun every time, then I look at price of them.

I was in the same boat, then I paid $50 for a reconditioned one. No battery, but I've got tons of Ryobi batteries. It probably helps that my lovely harbor freight hose got a leak in it, and I haven't wanted to bother getting a new hose.

I have said this 50 or 60 times in this thread but gently caress Ryobi and also I do not like their tools very much. Absolutely the jankiest loving poo poo even while mounted to my workbench. Also, their miter saw blows, also their belt sander blows, also their router blows, also

Most Ryobi stuff, especially their 18v line, is pretty decent, at least if you're not a professional. I use a lot of their stuff, because it's cheap, and I got on their battery platform like 15 years ago. But yeah, gently caress that table saw. I don't think there's a way to possibly make a cut on that saw safely.

The XC5.0's on the otherhand are good enough for most people uses, otherwise you're probably running HD9.0/HD12.0's

Schiavona posted:Dang, two batteries alone is $230, getting the tool and three batteries for $270 is a steal Yeah it is. The drill by itself is like $170 so if you pretend the case is free, that means the three batteries and charger are only $25 each. I REALLY want to bite on this deal but the only way I can afford it is if I split the payment over two or three separate credit cards, and HomeDepot.com won't let me do that. Maybe if I do it as a phone order?

Also wrt the Milwaukee/HD deals I have to be mindful of the battery quantities on the deals because I'm in Australia and even though it's cheaper to get Milwaukee 12v from HD and ship it via DHL, if it's got more than 2 batteries they legally have to split it up and it blows out on cost real quick. Tbh I don't mind copping it on batteries here for a few bucks extra but I just need to be mindful of what I'm ordering

It's probably not the drill. I'm just saying, nothing happening here is "OH poo poo BUY THE DIP" it's the normal "hey, deal's on". If you're not in a position that you can buy that poo poo right now, don't. Deals like this happen all the time, chill.

Ryobi is meant for homeowners who are using it for few hours every other weekend. I work in a fabrication company, and a former coworker once picked up a Ryobi drill kit for regular use. Everybody in the shop gave him poo poo about it. He bullheadedly was like “i’ll show them. Its fine!” About 6 months later it was falling apart.

For the folks reading this: if you're not using ryobi tools in a professional capacity, they are likely fine for your intended use. Personally I have a wall of 18v stuff and all of outdoor tools are 40v. I've only ever broken one tool (drill, attempting to mix 40lbs of mortar). I've built a shed and demolished a deck and renovated a bathroom and all my tools are going strong. I do a lot of hobby woodworking. I'd wager my tools have seen more use than 99% of homeowners. They're fine. And cheap(er).

If you want accurate repeatable clean cuts, you need a good fence, a good blade (I really need to get a few good blades for all my saws), and a good table. I really enjoy my delta saw.. it's big as gently caress though, and takes up a bunch of the garage. I just couldn't put my faith in the dewalt "geared" fence for the smaller footprint.

It also depends on what kind of work you're doing. I know a guy who worked for several years doing internet/tv installs using ryobi drills, though part of his cost analysis for that was that when doing a drive-around job like internet/tv installs tools can occasionally walk away. He never once complained about the drills breaking though. You're not going to burn out the tool if your everyday use is 2-3 holes or screws per hour. He's doing in-shop appliance repair now and I think he switched to DeWalt since then, but that may have just been because his whole shop is DeWalt and it's convenient to be able to borrow batteries from other people etc.

I think I’ve posted about it before, but I do like ryobi’s outdoor stuff. I have a battery mower and it does okay. String trimmer is great. Mostly bought the mower because i had the string trimmer.

I look at a Ryobi tool and it falls apart into little pieces in use cases just like yours. Where are these good Ryobi products?? I have a whole host of Ryobi battery products and do not have any issues. I have 2 drills, 2 impact drivers (one small boi and one 650lbft one for automotive use), sander, inflator, multitool, jigsaw that all get "DIY howmeowner" levels of usage and they've always lasted I've never had one die. I love their sawzall, toss a 12TPI 12" blade from diablo and just go to town ripping poo poo out. I've taken out like 4 bushes 1 tree, and a deck with it, and couldn't be happier. Sometimes it overheats when I'm doing a long cut and stops for a moment, but then starts right back up. Caveat: I do not own Ryobi corded tools so I can't tell if they are any good.. but value/performance wise I enjoy team green. RE the guy doing installs vs home shop I always see a lot of team green in contractor trucks because if they get dropped off a roof / "fogotten" in a crew members truck / left on site it's cheap as gently caress to replace. Usually 1 man shows will show up with Milwakee / Dewalt but any crew that I've seen work usually has some neon green tools.

But I will say, because of my experience I will never buy one of their battery products just on the fact they wasted hundreds of dollars of my money already.
