4:30 "This battery runs on battery power..."I'm going to go out on a limb (no pun intended) and guess they meant to say "...this BLOWER runs on battery power..." Oops
As others have mentioned, the 18 volt battery just doesn't provide as much power as a human. The 18v tools are great for rotating and reciprocating quickly while allowing the human to concentrate on guiding the operation (electric drill, reciprocating saw, car waxer, for example). But a decent manual limbing saw will beat the Ryobi in cutting tree branches, where power wins over dexterity. I noticed that there's a push lawn mower that takes two 18v batteries simultaneously. That seems like it'll work for light mowing and it doesn't stray to a non-standard 40v system. I'd rather have 3 or 4 18v batteries for everything and buy a few every couple of years instead of having a dedicated 40v mower.
Most of my tools are ryobi, for the first time I purchase a worx for cutting trim, it dies it less than 6 months my money down the toilet! I got the ryobi and it is B-ASS and it came with a light and cost less than the worx. I am talking about the Ryobi 18V Multi Tool
I have thousands of dollars of Ryobi stuff. - I'm not sure I'll spend another dime with them. Recently I purchased a crosscut whipser mower. Loved every moment of it. Unfortunately, it broke within weeks of having it. some type of controller electrical issue (manufacturing defect.) Because it was outside of the Home Depot warranty period, I had to get Ryobi involved. This means that TTI is involved not so much Ryobi because Ryobi will say "sorry, once TTI the RLC has it, its up to them" ---- That is problem number one by the way. It spent one month at Home Depot and they figured they couldn't fix it. It then spent 6 days short of 90 days at the RCL with parts that were back ordered not to show up until March which would be 5 months after the RCL got the mower and 6 months since I sent it to Home Depot for repair. I spent days arguing with TTI. This was absolutely abhorrent. Ryobi was hands off, said they can't do anything about it. After battling for days, finally getting Home Depot to share some data, it forced TTI to recognize they will be outside their 90 day window. They are sending a new mower. Long and short: The brand new lawn mower failed. It took 3 months to get answers and if I didn't push would have been over 5 months. Ryobi themselves couldn't care less what their repair side was doing. Because of this, as my Ryobi eqt. fails, I will be switching to something else. I will never again spend a dime on Ryobi stuff. Cheap tools, breaking tools and customer service that couldnt care less, repair houes that couldnt care less.... this is a common "death rattle" of a company. If this place isn't turned around soon, Ryobi will be the new Harbor Freight of tools and they'll slowly be gone.
I have a ton of ryobi tools but most of what was shown in this video is going to be seriously underpowered or just not convenient , the battery powered tools are just not compatible to electric or gas powered equipment.

I was about to suggest a professional copy/script editor too, and I also recommend you hire a real actor for the voiceover -- the AI voice here (or whatever it is) is distracting and I'm sure analysis of viewer dropoff will show it occurs after the poor grammar & malapropisms.
The only Ryobi tool I regret buying g is this washer. It has no power whatsoever, seriously, it's terrible. The 2 liter is a nice feature but it empties very very quickly
The idea is that you fill up the 2-liter (or buy seltzer water from the supermarket in a 2 liter bottle) and carry the water to the wash site that way. Sheesh. While the washer seems dubious (lack of power), I commend Ryobi for working with easy-to-source common parts.
battery operated tools such as mowers , trimmers , snow blowers etc are worthless . They can't handle heavy loads like thick weeds or heavy dense/wet snow . they bog down which drains the battery even faster than normal which is about 30 minutes max . more like fifteen minutes or run time .
Idk what type of mower or yard you have been mowing but I typical get more then half and hour of run time out of my Kobalt. Sure what you said about thick grass is true, it does eat up the battery charge but that is why I normally try and not let my yard get too long. Also picking up an extra battery ' cheaper to just get another tool within the same battery group that comes with battery and charger '
Yea I'm first time home owner and got a Ryobi after my corded mower was "misplaced". I don't have a super large yard but I can typically get an hour and hour and a half. I can get used out of it as mowing the front and back takes generally 45 mins
Current battery power is great for hand tools but simply too expensive for larger tools/devices. Batteries also don't provide enough power or run time for snow blowers or any type of mower. Hybrid tools, electric/battery, are a better option. Hopefully Ryobi continues that technology.✌🏽
I mean, with the mowers it depends on your size of your yard and how wild the grass got before mowing it. Also depends on the MaH of the battery. I use a Kobalt brand push mower with a 6 Mah battery. It varies, if I keep on the yard and make sure it is short, I can almost do the whole front yard on one charge but if I let it go and it has grown thick. Then it might take me a couple of charges/battery swaps. Truth be told, I should be using a rider for the yard...but I just don't have thousands of dollars laying around for one...
@@AceWolf2009 If you don't pretend that you need a battery powered electric mower, you can get a gas riding mower used for about $600 that still has over a decade worth of life left in it, maybe 2 decades depending on whether you can DIY the repairs cost effectively once it starts having various issues like new belts, random bolt failure or loss, spindle, etc. Granted, there are many mechanical repairs to be done on the electric riding mowers over the same span of time, as the engine on a gas power is usually one of the last things to fail if maintained properly, mainly meaning oil changes and don't mow in so much rain that the engine draws in excessive water and hydrolocks. Tractors are often built to run in rain but homeowner grade riding mowers, not so much.
Is this channel a joke? The mower is extremely expensive for how small it is, nevermind replacement battery costs. Snowblower is similar, weak and expensive alternative to gas, and flimsy. Tracksaw? Meh, a chalk line has worked fine for me for decades. Cultivator, weak and flimsy. and doesn't even make sense for the average person where their garden plot that small is well within the length of a cord so a far more powerful AC mains powered cultivator is faster, and less expensive, and no batteries to buy in the future. The pruning saw is underpowered and too small, and too expensive for what it is, might as well just get their reciprocating saw, one of the better brushless models and a proper pruning blade. It'll handle more jobs and be faster at all of them. Ryobi's cordless blower is 45% more powerful? Keep dreaming, only if you compare to the lowest end gas, nothing anywhere near the same price point. It IS quieter, but with the short runtime, doesn't matter nearly as much as if you'd be using it for more than 15 minutes at a time. Brushless hammer drill, finally one that I agree with, a drill is one of the more versatile and often first cordless tool someone buys. Heh, you got ONE right, I'll leave it at that.
