Thanks to companies like Ryobi, you’ll find regularly priced Dewalt on sale for $90 (40% off). It doesn’t matter if Dewalt is still better, it’s the fact that they’re forced to give the consumer a better product, or the same product at a better price. That said, I’ll keep supporting Ryobi because they’ve really proven themselves to be a contender along with the big boys that already earned their name decades ago.
@@blipblop92 That other guy is ridiculous. Yes, Milwaukee tends to perform better, but Ryobi has several segments locked down. 1, battery support. They've kept the same battery format for over 20 years. Literally no other tool manufacturer has done that, especially when tools went from NiCad to Lithium. A brand new Ryobi lithium battery will work in their old blue NiCad generation tools. 2. Home owner enthusiast. While there's a lot of competition at the low end, Ryobi still competes competitively there. There's some confusion with their tools/batteries as they have several similar tools that swing wildly in performance. However, the step up to better tools is easier if you don't have to change batteries/brands. 3. If you want the choice of hundreds of different tools that run on the same battery, Ryobi is your only real option. Milwaukee is for people who want the absolute best performance in most tools, or tool snobs. Milwaukee is to cordless tools as Snap-On is to wrenches and ratchets.
The shit that annoys me the most is when I have a Ryobi tool and I get shit from everyone. I've been using Ryobi for years and try to recommend to everyone but everyone just says they suck. Ok then, go spend your hard earned cash on a rip off, I'll use my spare cash on a meal thank you.
it's like everyone hate suzuki and recommend yamaha/kawasaki when they are more expensive and breaking apart same with other tool brand that they are expensive while Ryobi is better for a better price and last a little more longer and little more powerful.
Nice fair testing, well done. I am a Ryobi tool guy hands down, after watching this test Ryobi has definitely picked up its game. So after watching the average time difference on most was only a few tenths of a second, but price difference is huge. I know everyone has their favorite brands but why pay up to a 100 dollars more for a tool that only a few 10ths of a second faster. Thanks for the video, you just proved what I been saying for awhile now.
Here in Canada combo ryobi drill impact one+ hp is 250$ 2amp battery dewalt xr combo 2amp battery 280$ .. I don’t see the point going ryobi for 30$ on those
Ryobi is more of a diy tool, the few people I've known that are in some sort of trade that bought ryobi because of price, switched back to their original tools because ryobi tools don't last and don't stand up to the beatings that tools like dewalt, milwaukee or makita take
IF I'm a Starter Rookie Handyman I will start it with Hercules or Bauer Tools at the Harbor Freight Tools! affordable!, much more cheaper and affordable than Ryobi, or Ridgid and they're all both made in crappy Chyynnnaaaaa!! 🇨🇳 Anyway!! Now when I get to make money, and already started and got established it then I'll upgrade my tools to DeWalt 🇺🇲 and Makita 🇯🇵 tools. And perhaps Bosch 🇩🇪 too!
@@craftsmantrucker6867 Don't mix tool brands, I promise you Makita will treat you better, the batteries are made with Samsung cells that are made to last, in my country batteries are about $150 plus for 5ah of almost any decent brand, and staying with tools that all use the same battery is simply the best thing to do!
When you've sunk the 1st screw or lag bolt, the wood near by is perhaps split to a degree or under compression. The results may skew for or against the 2nd fastener driven. It seems you drive the 2nd fairly near the 1st, presumably because the wood likely has similar properties in both areas though you can't be certain about knots and other potential variations. You might want to switch the order in which the tools drive the 1st fastener or timing each tool driving and removing each before using the other. The latter option won't level the playing field if there is nearby splitting, especially with the lag bolts, but it would mitigate the increased pressure caused by a nearby fastener.
Truly Impressive For Ryobi !!! I would have bet against it, for that ten inch lag bolt, to see Ryobi standing up to higher end like dewalt, milwaukee, makita, shows Ryobi deserves a real pat on the back for upping there game...
I love the hp brushless line of products. I work as a handyman so I don't have a huge need for high quality tools like Milwaukee but the Ryobi brand has gotten significantly better with the brushless. It doesn't feel like a hunk of plastic anymore.
I also just bought this model impact after watching this video. HD even matched its online price when I went by to buy it this past weekend. Thanks for the awesome video, man.
I’m a diesel mechanic that works in a big shop with 60 other guys. There isn’t a single ryobi tool there for a reason… fine for a guy just messing around at home but in a professional setting there is a reason out of 60 guys nobody has a ryobi tool….
Yeah buddy.!!! Those 10"(That's What She Said!!) Lag screws are tree-house/tree-stand/fort-builders delights. And I guarantee more than a few avid hunters want are looking for an impact that can drive 10-20 of them on a single charge. I used to have work buddies that hauled 5 or 6 batteries and tools out to the woods where they were gonna hunt. Given, those same guys never considered using a 1/4"impact to do the job. It was 15yrs ago and these boys were building tree-house/hunting blinds.
I have the DeWalt and mostly just used it for smaller things. Those big lag bolts are certainly quite a stress test and at a quarter inch particularly tough on the shafts of those adapters. I probably wouldn't have thought to use it on that large a bolt. In the real world, if you were going to be going that large you probably want a 3/8 or a half inch. The Ryobi certainly did a good job, although it looks heavier. If you consider the workload that you can do on these quarter inch drivers, it's pretty amazing.
No it isn't. Ryobi is originally Japanese tool brand that been brought to the North American market. That type of power should have Been around for a long time IF it wasn't for Milwaukee and Ridgid Suppressing Ryobi. I heard the story that Ryobi Tool was about to leave the TTI and planning to sue Milwaukee and Ridgid and the TTI for 600 Billion dollar law suit. And then Milwaukee and Rigid decided to give Ryobi something. And there you have it! More Ryobi HP tools that popped out of nowhere
As i said in another comment, Dewalt is getting to the point you have to be a rocket scientist to figure out the tool models, how they are different and what battery line is what. They have WAAAAY to many. With Ryobi, they havent changed the battery platforms in forever. And even the new HP line is forward and backward compatible with all tools. For the price AND battery platform futureproofing, Ryobi is a better bet, specially when the performance difference is usually in the seconds or less. If it was an issue where Ryobi couldnt even do the job, thats one thing. But Ryobi can finish and do all the same tasks and even getting up there above its weight class...and only lag ..what...seconds on the minute? All for way less cost and LESS confusing, better future proofed battery platform. Plus they are so cheap, I'll just buy a new battery (always on sale and decent prices) than deal with the higher boys crap warranty process (dewalt..cough) which you will want to go through since its all so expensive comparatively speaking.
I'm not just trying to be a fanboy for DeWalt. Ryobi does look pretty decent there, but with that 10 inch leg when you pump the first one in where the Ryobi and then the second one in right next to it with the DeWalt. All the fibres in that timber was more compressed for the second fixing. So I do think is a bit of an unfair test. If you had two different logs, cut from the same part of the tree I think it might be a fairy test
This new Ryobi brushless HP Impact Driver is what I'm going to replace my old Ryobi P237 Brushed impact driver, and will be my secondary backup tool. But still the tools that I'm using in my jobsite are DeWalts.
You two are part of the reason I don't regret going the Ryobi route. Got my best friend in the Kobalts. (Note: I vastly prefer Kobalt's drills) We recently did strut replacements on our respective Subarus. She got super frustrated that her 3/8ths Kobalt impact wrench didn't have the beans to break free several of the nuts we were dealing with. Her astonishment when my p262 popped them off near instantly was. . . hilarious. Of course we got her the new big Kobalt half inch that same night. . . And used it to change tires at a Gambler 500 event the next week.
That's what I call bang for the buck boi... The fact that Ryobi is able to compete with DeWalt, is the reason why u can see some DeWalt tools under 200 usd.... I'm really impressed Edit: the fact that Ryobi performs better on higher torque applications tells me that while DeWalt spins faster, Ryobi hits harder... I think
Ryobi doesn’t compete with dewalt in the slightest. I’m a diesel mechanic and the there are no ryobi tools in the shop out of 60 guys for a reason. They are fine for a homeowner and the guy that changes his tires a couple times a year but with everyday abuse in a shop environment they are shit…
You know, somewhere in this beautiful country, there are a bunch of guys, hanging out in the married guys man cave betting on the winner of these test.!
I've been making fun of the contractors in my jobsite because they're using the expensive Milwaukee tools made in china, but I'm making more money than them for using a cheapy ass Chinese tool Hercules and Bauer from Harbor Freight tools when I used to be a Starter.
@@Mint-cb2vc lol! 😂😂😂Well that's where I started 18 years ago! When I got my certificate and graduated from the Trade School I did Apprentice in with some licensed and certified contractor/builder in my 1st 6 months in apprenticeship I don't have that much tools with me besides my Uncle's old skilsaw sidewinder that I borrowed, I got a cheap ass black and decker 20V drill and my newly bought Vaughan California Framer 23oz Milled faced Framing Hammer and Vaughan California Framer 19oz Smooth Face that I use for finish carpentry, Stanley tape measure 25ft. Irwin Chalk Line, and Swanson Speed/Rafter Square and some Carpenter pencils. That's it! That's all I have when I started! Then after 6 months I'm starting to get some good checks. I got me a some cheap ass impact driver. Still cant afford the the big three. Until I finished my apprenticeship, then got my license general contractor and Framer/Carpenter still no HVAC because I'm still saving money for that specific trade school that teach and trains people on HVAC and Electrical. On my 4th Year that's where I got my very first descent impact driver dcf885 and the drill circular saws, Multi tool, grinder, 12" DeWalt compound miter saw all of it came with package tool deal from some Authorized DeWalt Powertool Dealer, then I got my first compound miter Saw. All of it are DeWalt brand. On my 7th Year that's where I got some Makita Tools, Angle Grinder, Miter Saw, and the Magnesium Hypoid Saw but I purchased that circ saw from Japan. Until I decided to get a another one because I'm afraid that it's made in Japan and might get stolen in the jobsite so I got another Makita Hypoid Saw that is crappy Chinese made from home Depot I only got it for $129 back in the day, corded they're all corded except the Impact Driver, and Drill. Then I got Bosch Bulldog Xtreme corded Rotary Hammer Drill. Until I get much better paychecks more money then I can a much better tools. And up to this day I still kinda miss using a cheap ass tools like the Hercules 20V Brushed Impact Driver kit that I got from Harbor freight tools. I have money, better paychecks better job as a general contractor why buy poor Chinese tools. Well! The top of the line and most rated tools such as Milwaukee brand is also made on China! And I'm not gonna spend that kind of money expensive tool Milwaukee still a Chinese made tool! It's a robbery and a scam to me. Even though I now have lots of money. I still prefer cheap stuffs that works because that's what the majority of people are now buying now a days.
If i lived by a home Depot i am sure i would own some ryobi tools. Fact is that dewalt is sold just about everywhere and they get 2nd or 3rd place pretty consistent on most of their tools . If the tool works who cares what color it is?
I've heard people claim their ryobi tools perform livelier with the 9ah battery, even though it's still not 21700. It's also said to last longer than 2x5.0ah.
You know, I think I'm seeing something in this test that I've seen another channel... I think DeWalt made a new screw gun that makes the most of the screws you're using. Not taking anything away from Ryobi (after all, it's the battery-platform I'm invested in.😎) Thought I'd ask you to see what you think.
Dave, even though you may not have all them fancy testing tools and such, the service you provide to viewers and prospective tool purchasers, should not be taken lightly. This was a very good, and interesting review and ‘VS Video!’ I would say one would normally go by the numbers, but in this case, DeWalt was besting the Ryobi at times, but lost out in the heavier lag showdowns. The Ryobi was impressive. What is not impressive are the prices creeping up on Ryobi! DeWalt knows how to make a good impact driver, but should concentrate on smoothness and refinement, IMO. Very good bruh! Stay safe and Healthy and please pray for those lost recently in senseless violence. NO Politics here, just compassion. Peace! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏🏻😁✌🏻🇺🇸
Чувак, то что девольт оказался на мелких крепежах быстрее на десятые секунды ,не прощают того что на десятые градусы он перегревался быстрее, а ведь ты за свои бабки купил проф инструмент , разница в них в двойне!
Wow, I'm impressed by Ryobi a lot. I have a Dewalt DCF887 myself and did not expect it to be close at all. I wonder about the durability of the Ryobi impact long term though. Good video, Dave! On a side note, I viewed the livestream video about the Makita battery adapter and you had said something like you felt "the need to make more content and to be more attentive to the channel". I may be off base with my interpretation of that statement, but I respectfully disagree with you sir. While I'm all for people improving at their craft, I think you do a great job with quality of content, being authentic, and are very responsive/interactive with your audience. Too many youtube/twitch content creators get anxiety and burn themselves out worrying about making content and viewer numbers, I'd hate to see that happen to you. Keep doing what you're doing man!
I recently learned to relax and not worry about uploading everyday anymore. the more worn out I become the lesser quality the content becomes so I upload every few days now and I thank you for viewing Nacho
nachoverdes 3421. DeWalt DCF 887 is Durable and Well balanced, and that new Ryobi brushless impact driver seems to be Durable too I can tell, the only thing that will ruin your impact driver is when you decide to throw off 3/4" to 1-3/4" Paddle Bits and that seems so stupid. That's the job of Hammer Drills and the impact driver is not really meant for Drilling. You can use your impact driver to drill pilot holes no bigger than 1/8 of an inch but that's should be about it. Impact Driver is meant for driving screws and large fasteners, any fssteners bigger than the Spax power lags and Timberloks, impact wrench should be usu either the Mid range or the high torque. That's why always remember the context. Always use the right tools for the right job Regardless of brands treat it with utmost respect.
The ryobi impact in the video tends to get really hot fast sometimes on third speed when there p237 three light three speed impact driver gets less hot because it is a longer impact driver
really curious about new brushless ryobi vs old brushless while looking at specs the old one looks better P238 had 4350 ipm, 3100 rpms the new one has 4000 ipm and 2900 rpms also on p238 you never get a true confirmation on the torque number on the box it says 2200 on the website it says 2000
I think it’s funny, I’ve seen Milwaukee vs Dewalt videos now ryobi vs dewalt. I personally find it funny that tool company’s are trying to beat a Dewalt. I never see a video that is Milwaukee vs ryobi
Towards the end of the test those adapters are taking 3,000 bpm and transferring out 1 turn per second on the other end 😂. If they survive the lag they deserve to be retired
you need to use husky Impact adapters they have a lifetime warranty you can abuse that system and always get new adapters evertime one breaks instead of spending idk 50 dollars per month on adapters
I use to buy Ryobi but not anymore. I'd rather spend my money at Harbor freight.I liked most of the tools but now, they are priced too high. They can keep them!
Im not sure why its taken them so long to this point. But now they might be waiting on the flex 24v system from chervon tools to show before they release a new model.
@@TheSixYardBoxyep - Im from Denmark same here - Ryobi hp (brushless) is cheaper than similar dewalt, Makita etc. Im amazed by the performance of those series !
The problem with Ryobi is that their tools work great when new, but break down quickly. I still have some Ryobi blue that works great. I have had it with Ryobi green. They just don't last.
@@josephunson4982 why do you think that the newer dewalt drill/impacts tend to smoke. I know someone that's a contractor that has a usa made dewalt drills and loves them.
Lol here in the uk we use dcf 887 made in prc at cladding, installing thousand of screws during a week,( heavy steel screws) sometimes it gets so hot u can burn an egg on it, but never does it smell like something is burning! Idk what u guys talking about lol
Professional Contractor here guys, I abuse my tools EVERY day of the week, I have ryobi kits for my apprentice, and dewalt kit is for the pros, ryobi is cheap, had a couple tools burn out on the job, while my dewalt xr kit is still going strong💪🏾 for all those complaining about price, it’s not just about performance, the pros know longevity & reliability plays a big part in a tools overall usefulness. you’ll burn up 3 ryobi kits before you burn up 1 dewalt kit. Your choice!
No! They are not. The Ryobi is an updated tool that puts out respectable performance and reliability. The Dewalt DCF887 is only good at starting fire on your BBQ grill. Instead of coming up with a new generation of impact driver with an improve heat-dissipation system in its engine, Dewalt just made the DCF887 more expensive by installing a bluetooth chip in it for its “Tool Connect” feature then offer it again to the public as the new DCF888. Dewalt probably thinks it’s OK to smoke an expensive tool as long as you do it in style (with bluetooth). I’m on a Dewalt platform and I can say that there are tools in their 20v line up that are performing decently but their XR impact driver is a huge disappointment.
Ryobi wouldn't be faster coming out than dewalt if it's slower in all aspects of going in unless ur making it slower going in by the strength ur using. Ur strength also determines how fast or slow things go in etc..
for what reason? I mean we soeak about 0.2 to 1 scond differences on regular tasks. I don't understand that anybody is testing impact drivers for speeds and judgments on a half second difference but never talks about the actual feeling of the tool like haptics or vibration
