Lol. I know when i left the home industry i bought all ryobi now. Wish i did then. Becouse noone would steel them ...if you lose it just buy a new one...
So from Canada I'm thinking I'll watch my wife scrub the cracks with the wire brush on a stick she got from Dollar store for the next lunar cycle and then I'll come home with one of these and be a hero or an asshole if she sees this video ba ha ha
@@betrayalbegetsblood you do realize rigid is basically obsolete when it comes to on the job site or in big box stores or basically anywhere. Ryobi on the other hand are huge and growing by leaps and bounds every year. So I would strongly disagree with you
I buy a few hundred k in tools a year, hilti ridgid, and milwaukee make the highest quality stuff. I doubt anyone who reads this post has more experience with power tool and hand tool brands. I keep 30+ guys and an entire fabrication shop outfitted. The only plus to having Chinese stuff on sight, it will never get stolen....!
For someone with 10 pallets of pavers on their property (which isn’t that uncommon) This would take them all day. I’d whip out my surface cleaner and call it an early day.
That's just removing the grout between the pavers and making a perfect place for weeds to grow. If pavers have weeds or moss use wet n forget or bleach water to clean the moss and kill the weeds. Sealing the pavers after polymer grouting is the only way to keep weeds out. Sealing will need to kept up to be effective.
That breaks down over time and needs to be replaced, though. Having an abundance of weeds is an indicator of such. Should not pressure wash patios with flagstone, especially. Should be softwashed because you undermine the base with high pressure. Mortared patios? Sure.
You know, I started with DeWalt screw bgun, Milwaukee hammer drill and Makita circular saw, Echo OPE tools and now I only have DeWalt small parts cases, Milwaukee impact bits and sawzall blades and no Makita or Echo anything... Over 40 RYOBI One+ and OPE tools. I replaced only one defective 40 volt battery under warranty after 2 and half years of use and abuse for free ( just a phonecall test required with support). Now they are continually improving I don't see my going back, I'm an advanced DIY person helping family friends here in Puerto Rico since hurricane Maria. 🌴
I'll pass on this tool....I've grown quite fond on what's in those joints (can I say joints on here?) Although...I've got this itch in this one spot....hmmmmm.......
So you're removing the polymeric sand that bricks need to stay in place?? That's smart! Soon you'll be using a Ryobi sand spreader or you'll be replacing your patio!! Lol
I’m a tool guy, let me be the first to say I’m not impressed with this tool. Like you said, Ryobi makes good tool , I give you that, But this is one I would add to my collection or promote. I thank you for test driving this product.
Freaking nass like! An angle grinder on a stick. Brilliant! Tell me, if the wire wheel comes out of the seam, does it damage the pavers and concrete? 🤔
I just bought this tool - does a great job and less messy than wet-washing also, 5 minutes and the wife was fully trained. (Just need a ladies lawn mower now!) c'on Ryobi.
I wanted an electric mower and was like "which brand sells elec. Mowers and has the most compatible tools so I can interchange the batteries?" Ryobi hands down
We went full Ryobi three years ago, for absolutely everything and we haven't had a single problem with any of it. Even after my missus lowered her car on the jack on top of the Ryobi torch, still worked fine.
Just by a trimmer. I got Black & Decker 3 in 1 Lawn trimmer and mower and it does it all. I personally dont like buying expensive tools that serve only 1 purpose.
Bought this tool a month ago or so and I have similar gaps in my pavers. I find that it does not clean deep enough to refill with new polymeric sand. It barely cleans tip of the soil and leaves most weed roots in tact. Good at removing moss.
I recently (seriously-two days ago) got some a few Ryobi 18 volt tools/batteries. That is only because Ridgid doesn't make them. Select nichey stuff for the house. TRZ loves giving angels their wings and VCG likes giving devils their horns!!!! Ridgid Ron
it seems like all this thing is doing is cleaning the seams/joints. Pressure washer with surface cleaner gets the whole surface looking good. Or is there something I'm not understanding about this thing??
Sure ...Ryobi makes ok tools ...but their customer service is P A T H E T I C (and that's being generous). I bought a couple thousand $$$ worth of their outdoor tools and discovered a very obvious misprint in one of the manuals. Tried to call. Get put on hold (typical). For 3 hours !!!! No updates on where I am in the queue...no feature providing a call back option. Nothing except to sit there for hours...and hours...and hours...and wait. And then...when I FINALLY get someone...they simply don't have a f*cking clue what they're talking about. The next day I threw all the tools in my car, drove back to Home Depot, and returned every single one of them.
Great tool, however creates space between the block paving or slabs which otherwise would have dried kiln sand and now you have more weeds growing unless you seal it back. I would not go that deep with wired brush to clean.
Tip... If you are ready to clean the groves with this cool tool.... Use grey sileconekit in the groves .... And the nasty stuff never growback and it looks nicer to...... 🤔👀🖖
Here’s a question for you, where can I find a straight 4incn brush to fit my Ryobi 4:5 inch angle grinder, not the cupped kind, just a brush like would come on a bench grinder? 5/8 arbor not the twisted wire, just a straight brush. HD doesn’t have them, or Lowe’s,or Ace, or Amazon!!!!!!!
Iv been replcing all my dewalt with ryobi few yers ago. After work for years i found forvthe money works just as good. Not complty but good enoough .. i like this thonm of its not expensive. ..
Watching your review has prompted me to buy the wire brush patio/drive cleaner!!! Thanks so much - I was dithering but you’ve given me the confidence to just go buy it!!!!!! 😅Lizzy B
to be honest, I purchased many Ryobi equipment and that invertor generator that broke the first time i used it. Then Home Depot said they dont accept refunds on Generators??!! I would NOT recommend a Ryobi to anyone! Dont support Ryobi, buy Dewalt or Makita! NO Ryobi
personally wouldn't use it on interlocking as its displaces the polimeric sand. however to avoid moss was supposed to have a hydrophobic layer put down before laying the bricks.
Just paid $1,500 to have sand refilling my cracks because it washes out and rain and wind and looks trashy with all these big grooves like this guy is putting in because they get half filled over time and unless you got some little elf to come out every day and keep them empty then I get half filled within hours because the real world has real wind oh yes and rain as well but it also contributes to degradation of the quality of your driveway. You want all this cracks filled with filter sand they're professionals that do that for a living.
honestly, i went and got a gas-powered ryobi string trimmer after I found out about the expand it series being that I just got a house with a yard that the last owner left a lot to be desired and their yard tool attachment options have been a lifesaver for me and I have their table saw and plan on adding one of their tool kits to my arsenal soon cause they seem to be a great brand and love to see they are getting more exposure!
Why would you want to pull all that sand out from between your pavers ? The sand is there to stabilize the pavers. Also why would you want to tear up your expansion joints? Using this tool in the way shown will only lead to more erosion. I'm sure this tool has some good uses but this isn't it.
Not what I was searching for on RU-vid but glad the algorithm sent me here… HOA is gonna be pissed that I now have this option to keep them from bitching at me for one thing. Lol.
Then it rains all those slabs become lose, a huge Floor they will raise because the filler is removed Making the water seep in those who don’t know think this is the best but nope 👎🏻
i am sure you have done it already, but if not its smart to fill it in with sand or something afterwards.. the stones will move around if not 😅(Speaking frown own experience)
Ryobi just throws a handful of crap at the wall and I love the chaos, every time I walk into Home Depot there is some new weird lime green junk. This is definitely a rental tool, my driveway could use a once over but there isn't enough crud building up that I could justify owning this.
I am on the ryobi platform and use them for most things until I come across something that needs more power then I get the big guns out.. Sometimes less is more!
Why not just turn your weed eater and use it??? 😏 not to mention you take out the sealed concrete and water Getz under it and then it floats or worst but cool man
I got my first Ryobi ONE+ 18v tool about a month ago! I got the 2g yard sprayer with backpack holster! And I love it! It's because of there cool one off tools at an affordable price that I love! Really the backpack holster is what sold me! 😂 Now looks like I need this patio brush cleaner too! 😂
I remember the old days using a weed wacker to do that they had edger tools they ran an electrical cords I remember using one years ago it was made by Toro you know you had the money or only landscaping Company you had a gas-powered one how time and technology has changed for the homeowner
I bought this tool during the summer. My only issue is it's tough to find replacement wheels for the nylon brush style. I've only been able to order them online from Home Depot as they are never in stock!
