LOOKING FOR A NEW CORDLESS DRILL? THIS MILWAUKEE IS AS TOUGH AS THEY COME - GET YOURS HERE: goo.gl/Gvg41B THIS IS AN AMAZON AFFILIATE LINK. IF YOU PURCHASE A DRILL WE MAKE A SMALL POFIT. THIS VIDEO IS NOT A PRODUCT ENDORSEMENT. EVERY TOOL USED IN THIS VIDEO WAS PURCHASED ENTIRELY BY ME...
Last winter I bought a Milwaukee brushless fuel. Aboard about 1500 holes through the frame of an apartment complex. It was honestly too small for that job. But it still works like the day I bought it. Milwaukee is unreal
I'm a contractor and I use Ryobi cordless for a few reasons. Ryobi hasn't changed their battery or tool design for over 10 years and has no plans to change. Every other company changes designs every few years. If your batteries go out, you have to buy all new tools. I haven't found anything that my Ryobi tools can't handle. If someone steals my tools, it's cheaper to replace Ryobi than the others. And yes, I have owned other tools, DeWalt, Bosch and Makita. For my use, Ryobi is just as good as any of them. This test is the equivalent of a hooking 2 trucks together at the bumper.
Milwaukee uses the same batteries on all 3 generations of drills. Only difference is a one are 12 and some are 18 and I just love the quality and sheer power behind the Milwaukee's, but I do really like the ryobi, I use my neighbors weed wacker and it does a hell of a good job. No complaints here.
Honestly, I don't think anyone expects a Ryobi to overcome a Milwaukee or Makita, etc. We would rather see your opinion on how it performs with actual use, like you have with other drills, such as using a large spade bit to drill through tough material, or driving large diameter or long lag bolts, etc. Doing this "head to head torture test" is nothing like the tool will experience during real world use. I'd much rather see you test and scale a tool based on findings. Start tests out weak and progress heavier until you reach the tool's limit. Eg: "Cheapo-drill2000, fails with anything heavier than installing screws in pre-drilled holes. Black & Decker, can drill or drive small screws, adequate for most household repairs. Ryobi, fine for household repairs, hobbyists and general home project construction. Milwaukee, suitable for contractors and professionals who rely on their tools for their livelihood."
Wasn’t a bullshit test. People were saying it’s durable. Not so much as they thought 😂 you do know these go through more abuse then this on a lot of construction jobs? Household it wouldn’t be too bad or finish work / small jobs it would hold but industrial wise it wouldn’t last a month on some of the stuff me and my team put drills/impacts through. It’s a good test for big construction jobs. And people who work them trying to find a cheap way out. Honestly I wouldn’t spend my money on anything other then Milwaukee or Dewalt. Just feel good in hand and has the power and durability to get any job you need done.
Ratchet, i don't know many people taking Ryobi tools on to the construction sites. I do know a lot of DIY'ers like me who use Ryobi because for the price they have been reliable tools. I've used them for over 5 years and never have had any tool break or not function properly on me, but I've also limited the use to things the tool was made for. The biggest project I have used Ryobi tools on was building my shop, and they performed fine. If I were going to build a house or something larger scale, I would go with a higher grade more expensive tool. Most people already know this. If you're in a construction business and needed this test to prove Ryobi tools probably aren't the best for large scale construction jobs, then I don't want to hire you. This test was on par with the old Letterman skits "will it float". It's irrelevant and like Rachael said, pretty much a bullshit test. It was entertaining, but didn't sway or inform me on anything I didn't already know.
what kind of job site are you on that puts drivers against each other... I don't know any real life situation that this test would simulate, it was just for entertainment, had no actual test value.
justin snider exactly, I've been using ryobi for 8yrs on construction job sites and I used to be a Dewalt guy. They do everything you ask and it's not a fortune to replace a tool which I have never had to do. I still am a diehard Dewalt miter saw guy though. lol
I own both of those drills. The Ryobi has served its purpose well around the house and during projects in the garage. The Milwaukee serves its purpose well on the job. Moral of the story: If you are in need a drill for around the house a Ryobi will take care of you and save you some cash while doing so. If you want something that you are going to run a little harder and more often (at work) then a more expensive drill like a Milwaukee is probably worth it. If you create an elaborate plan to destroy either of them, you will probably succeed.
Had the same issue with my Ryobi, but it was more than 3 years old (used almost every day) and even though it has smoked it still ran for more than a year. What is actualy smoking here is the electric motor's brushes. The gears in the gearbox are made out of powdered metal, the only platic peice in the box is the speed selector
Did you know Milwaukee is th parent company of Ridgid, and Ryobi? I have many Ryobi tools that work perfectly and sufficiently for my needs. I agree if you are in construction or remodeling for a business, you would be better off with the higher grade tools. If you want to remodel your house, I think the Ryobi tools would work perfectly, and for DIY projects. I like and appreciate Milwaukee's power and durability. Ryobi for the price point, and the different other tools and accessories that are available, is a better buy for my money, and for someone who might not have an unlimited budget.
Ha tti or tectronic industries does not own dewalt or black and decker.. Milwakee aeg(rigid) ryobi hart empire along with a few others need to do 1 minute of research before trying to sound like you know something 😅
Just because makita is one of only a couple of independents doesnt mean all the others are made by one company.. This will be my last message because your wasting valuable iq points.. Dewalt is a subsidiary company for stanley black and decker.. Who is not a subsidiary for anything to do with tti
These head-to-head tests, while entertaining, are less than useless for someone looking to buy a new tool. When you do the next 'head-to-head', could you do some practical tests before destroying one or both of them? Example 1: How many 1" holes can it drill on one full battery charge? Example 2: How many 3" construction screws can it drive on one full battery charge? Example 3: What is the largest hole size it can drill? Example 4: What is the largest fastener it can drive?
Except, all this test shows, is which drill has better thermal overload protection. While interesting, thermal overload protection is not something I look for when buying a power tool.
you have your point however he allready did the test that you mentioned not on batery durability but it covered the functionality its one of his vidieoes
I've had that same ryobi for about 6 years now. Built my house with it. Used it for some heavy duty jobs without fail. Still going strong and so are the batteries. Also, my batteries have the charge check on them. One of the best drills I've owned, and I am usually a makita guy. Of course I've never played torque o war with another drill because well, that stupid and impractical. Never had screws playing torque o war with my drills.
All I know is that as a young college woodworker, I can't afford the nicest drills money can buy. Do I wish I could afford all these expensive name bands like Milwaukee and Dewalt? Well, yes I do. But what I can tell you is that I have put my Ryobi drill, impact driver, and cordless circular saw through hell and back and they have proved the test of time. Yes, you are getting what you paid for but when I can get a pretty decent drill, impact driver, and two batteries for $100, I am not as afraid to push my tools to the edge. You can undermine Ryobi all you want, but they do make quality tools at a very affordable price.
ryobi’s got a good system. I bought them when I was young for the price and due to them keeping the same battery I never switched. (especially after seeing my dewalt and milwaukee friends have to “upgrade” when their batteries no longer worked) . Ryobi’s dirt cheap and they get the job done.
I own many ryobi tools and the main reason I like them is the batteries work across there entire line of over 50 one+ tools. And you can get 4 amp hour batteries for them. I've been using them for over 10 years and never had any problems.
I can say that my school wood shop at school has a fleet of Ryobi tools (3 drills, 2 impacts, a circular saw and a reciprocating saw). These tools have been abused for at least 4 years by students who don’t care about the tool at all. They are all packed full of saw dust (ask me how I know) and seem to be perpetually overheating due to heavy use. Now let me list every problem we have had wit the tools: 1)… That’s it, not a single problem. Now for the Dewalt tools we have: broken sanding pads on every sander by them, broken motor shafts, burnt windings, seized open triggers, cooked batteries, and cable tear outs. These dewalt tools are about 2 yrs old and they are all broken. The Ryobi, on the other hand, are perfectly fine and work great!
I learned something valuable about my Ryobi drill... Don't chuck it into another drill. Still, it works pretty well for me, and was well worth the $50 I got it for on sale. Nice video tho.
I switched over to Ryobi for one simple reason - they have made a commitment to keeping the same battery. Tired of the same manufacturer changing the battery so that your old tools are obsolete. And by the way, your bias for Milwaukee shows in every frame of this video.
Marcin Tsai his point is the dewault doesn't even make a drill for the 18 volt battery. Moved to 12 and 20 volt. Making the 18 volt drills useless almost now. Ise too you could just buy a bunch of tools and swap put batteries between them. Makita did the same a milwaulki isn't far behind with a 20v plus battery.
You mean you even between nicad and lithium that's amazing if they really did that they are ingenius because that's how every other brand makes your product obsolete by changing your batteries and then you no longer have availability you buy the last one at home Depot then you scour the internet for them and then you're buying Chinese reproductions that aren't as good and then they're all gone and batteries don't last forever nowhere near as long as the drill motor does. So thanks for your input and I will seriously look into that
I buy a ryobi set about 5 years ago, it's been a good drill, cheap, and they do the work i need to get done, so I don't even know how in the..... I end up here.
bizzar is the only word to describe the test. i have been using my pair of Ryobi for over 7 years on a daily basis using 3x 18v 4ah batteries. never let me down and the recharges must now be in the 10,000's with no discernable loss of charge hold.
This test does not knock the usability of your ryobi. It just shows that there are better tools out there. Will your ryobi ever fail, probably not. But this kind of testing is really entertainment, and is simply that. My craftsman mower works great, but a cub cadet is the cream of the crop
Vustiburn Productions all it shows is that the Milwaukee has a higher torque than the ryobi. And that’s obvious because a Milwaukee is a professional grade tool while ryobi is for medium duty work around the house and for small construction. All this test did was destroy 2 perfectly good tools
spazz ondabeat you don’t understand the intent of the vid. Of corse he knew the ryobi would have less torque. He stated at the beginning of the vid that the fans asked for it. So what the audience asked for, he gave.
At 11:30 of the video you can clearly see the Milwaukee drill is not working anymore either when the trigger is pressed and nothing happens. The video shortly after cuts away and only the Ryobi drill is in the shot. LOL
What you proved is that a drill that costs twice as much (when you include a second battery), is better at doing something that neither drill was designed for. Well done.
Ryan Soderholm so your saying that a drill that chewed up and spat out a dewalt then spent many more hours working on the job and then destroyed a ryobi without even trying, isn't impressive? (And ryobi batteries cost SIGNIFICANTLY less than Milwaukee batteries, so the ryobi coming with 2 batteries isn't saying much)
Trevor Mac I guess that was my point. While the Milwaukee is a great drill, at more than double the price for the combo with two batteries, I would expect it to be superior to the Ryobi. It would be like a Corvette driver bragging that his car beat a focus in a race. Also those tools aren't designed for high torque situations. They are designed to drill holes in, and put screws in primarily soft lumber. A more helpful test would be to see which one screws in more screws per battery charge.
Ryan Soderholm I'm saying because Milwaukee batteries cost so much less than Ryobi batteries, the price of the bare drill is not that different. Certainly not enough to make the Milwaukee such a better drill. And just screwing into boards would show us nothing. you saw the ryobi twisting like it was possessed, while the Milwaukee stayed straighter than the Washington monument. The test was accurate and if ryobi's compact drill is crappier than Milwaukees that's there problem
I feel as though part of the Ryobi twisting was due to the shape of the battery and the jig that was used. The jig is basically only holding the sides of the batteries and the Ryobi's battery is a bit more rounded and is the version that lacks the rubber edging (perhaps the silver version with the rubber, battery indicator, and slightly higher amperage would be have a better match to the Milwaukee battery). Meanwhile, the Milwaukee battery appears to have flatter sides and rubber edging giving the simple 2x4 jig a bit more grip on it. Not that it would have changed the "winner", but it could have made it look far less dramatic. That being said, I agree with others that this is not really a useful test as it likely would never occur in real use - a screw will cam out, a bolt will never apply force in the opposite direction, and the safety circuit will help avoid the tool stripping out its own gears. Also, while I have not torn a Ryobi drill apart before, it very much doubt that the gears are plastic.
I'm a carpenter, and own that particular Ryobi, along with Metabo and Festool, Let me tell you something everyone, is lightweight, can drive pretty big screws, a good chuck, A LEVEL BUBBLE AND A MAGNETIC TRAY, can't tell you how useful it is! Not to mention the trigger has a fantastic sensibility and I paid less than 20 bucks second hand, i use it literally every day, and is still going strong! There is no way Milwaukee could ever replace my beloved Ryobi, not even festool can!
Honestly from what I've seen they're at a pretty similar price point. You can buy higher end ryobi batteries that have the charge indicator. The depth/torque/whatever settings were different between the two, Milwaukee was twister over as much as the Ryobi and actually neither one really moved much in terms of rotation. The Ryobi did smoke and die...but let's be honest...drill to drill like this is kind a not real world situation type test. Would rather see some drilling comparisons etc...actual real world usage.
What it tells me is that the Ryobi held up better than expected. Is it Dewalt tough? No. Is it Dewalt expensive? No. It's not contractor grade but for the price point, for average Joe homeowner, It's a pretty darn good rig. I've used mine for 7-8 years now and have not been disappointed.
JaroodTheFab Maybe he got a cheap crapy one I mean he did get it of amazon the real place to get them is Bunnings and I might be wrong here but I thought they were around $150-$200
Well now I know if I need to ever have tool fights with other contractors in my area to always choose Milwaukee...no but seriously, why not see which drill will drill the most holes in a 2x4 per charge? Which drill charges faster? Something actually useful
I’m sorry, but in my opinion as a qualified tradesman, this is a stupid test. If you were serious about measuring the torque and I’m not sure why you would want to, then set it up individually on a torque drive / meter. For any tradesman and DIY, both deliver more than enough torque to screw in screws. Beyond the max setting reach for the correct tool, the impact driver. For me , you can’t beat Ryobi s price and their range. One battery does all!
And ryobi has that thermal protection. I have many tools. Had then get to hot and just keep going. The ryobi don't do that, if it treys too hard or gets to hit it stops. This is a great feature, especially for brushless motors. I've had my ryobi multi tool very to hot and it is just fine when it cools down. Others I've had will just keep going to destruction....
Andrew McAllister pretty sure all new drills have thermal protection and as you can see in this video the ryobi’s thermal protection seems very poor as it was smoking up pretty bad
I own some ryobi tools myself and they work fine for my uses. What bugs me is that some people might not know this that Ryobi, Rigid and Milwaukee all come from tti in Japan. Comparing Milwaukee which is a professional tool. And Ryobi which is more for z dyiers.
Unless wranglestar is lieing about which model drill this is which he names in the comments, the retail msrp for tool only is $100, and kit with charger and battery is $180.
+juan trevino Temporary sale prices or clearance prices don't count for the purpose of this argument, and no you didn't, even sale price this drill is 99.99, not 90, on home depot's website. The tool only, with no battery or charger, is ordinarily 99.99.
This test makes no sense. Unless the torque outputs of both drills are identical then one (In this case the Milwaukee) will always overpower - and damage - the other. All you have proved is what the specifications would have told you. Just because one drill overpowers the other doesn't prove anything, other than that one drill has more torque than the other!. If you put a slightly lower (Or higher) spec Milwaukee up against that one, the same sort of result would have been created. You really need to put more engineering thought into how you design your tests.
Haha you will know which overpower the other even without testing and damaging it by torque. Oh man ist not a question of premium or not its about the specification.
I disagree. This test, while not establishing "which is better" or "is it good enough" does a good job at explaining "what you get for the money". There are a lot of people running around saying "Ryobi is just as good", and this video aims to put that to the test. Regardless of what drill has more torque...both drills were stalled...one smoked, and the other did not. I like Ryobi tools and have quite a few...I also have quite a few Milwaukee M12 tools. I just purchased a Ryobi angle drill (I was going to buy the Milwaukee knowing it was a tough job, but they were out of stock), but needing to get through a header comprised of 3 2x4's to run some romex...the brand new ryobi smoked, just like it did here. To be fair, I let the Ryobi cool and set for a few hours, and it seems to have come back to life...also, anyone that has worked with tools should know that stalling a motor on any tool is not "good" for it...but still, in the real world you get into a pinch and have to rely on that tool in less than perfect conditions. If I have a demanding job, I will reach for the Milwaukee (even the M12 line) over ryobi every time, but no one can doubt Ryobis cost/performance/tool selection.
I've used Milwaukee for years, and will continue to. You should look at the FUEL brushless series, as the tool diameter went down and the torque went up. How long they're going to last verses a brush tool, I don't know, but I'm on my third year on a few FUEL tools, still going strong.
I’d like to see a ryobi vs dewalt. My father always used dewalt until the where stollen now he runs a ryobi and can’t fault it. I’ve run ryobi for over 10years and still have my original blue hammer drill which seems to love the 4Ah batteries
This test proved that the Milwaukee can come out on top under circumstances it wasn't meant for, that's the beauty of this test, these drills should be put under very difficult tests that they weren't designed for to test the durability, of course you wouldn't hook to drills together but there are certain things that are extremely hard on those drills and its good to see that one drill won't stand up and the other will.
I ran my ryobi impact driver underwater (by accident) while installing a dock at the lake. It sits in the back of my truck bumping around in the -40 to +40 deg C Canadian weather. I literally throw down onto the ground from ladders. And it still is working great 2 years of almost daily use later.
"Very unsatisfactory" You intentionally abused it and kept ruthlessly bypassing the thermal overload. And that's unsatisfactory. I suppose you expect your car's motor to keep running flawlessly even though you run it at over the red line while driving from New York to Chicago. This is destruction testing. And it's not surprising at all that the cheaper built tool died first. But it's totally unfair to say it didn't do well. If you're a home handyman who uses his tools *properly* and doesn't abuse them, you can save yourself quite a bit of money on a perfectly satisfactory tool.
I went with Milwaukee.....I'm just used to pro-grade tools coming from the "automotive" world.....I really Didn't wanna dish the Extra $$$......BUT, I've learned that when things get Tough, better quality tools ALWAYS fight harder........but the Ryobi is damn tempting for homeowner stuff.
Nick Renwick makita will start smoking as soon as it starts. Id buy some cheap tools instead of makita every day. I usually use festool drill at work and we drill all kinds of metals, plastic and wood. We use it over 10 years its still working like the first day. Once we worked on a yacht we used it to drill aluminum for like 15 min but we forgot to charge the batteries so we used yacht owner's makita. We drilled aluminium for like 2 min and it started smoking lol. Since then i just avoid makita tools.
Yeah I honestly would go with ryobi if I didn’t already have a bunch of dewalt tools with a bunch of batteries…. I don’t want to have a bunch of batteries and Chargers everywhere so I’m just sticking with one brand if I could turn back time I would have gone ryobi to save a ton of money…… just not on big stuff like miter and tablesaw which I own but that’s not hand tools
Exactly buy 3 Ryobis for the cost of 1 Milwaukee. If and when the Ryobi goes down you got another and another...heck lets go buy 3 more while he spends 159 for another 1 Milwaukee
Sticking with my Ryobis Because I never push them this hard and this result was expected. Putting simple holes in walls and such does not require an expensive tool. Cody I am most definitely not one of your haters (got the 3 t shirts and the book) but this was boring. Tons better stuff you could show before cold sets in. Much love from East TN.
Not only is the price point appealing, Ryobi has kept the same battery platform for years and years. 18v tools you bought 10 years ago can run on the modern batteries and vice versa. I especially love the palm router.
LOL. No, that's not what it means. It means that as the battery tech changed, they kept the same battery interface even though the batteries got better.
bmorefan5220 its just an interface for the pin connectors its the same as a plug technology advances but power can still be delivered through the same interface ryobi’s great for even fairly heavy diy and thats coming from a heavy milwaukee fanboy
I have a few small Bosh 12v tools and a number of Ryobi tools with the 4ah batteries. They work well for me. I've never had them fail. They are a little bulky compared to Makita or DeWalt. My work does have a Milwaukee "fuel" sawzall and it's an impressive battery powered tool. And FYI both Milwaukee and Ryobi are owned by Techtronic Industries a Hong Kong based company. 🙂.
Milwaukee, Ryobi and Rigid are all made in the same factory by the same Chinese corporation. You shouldn't think anything more of a Milwaukee than a Ryobi. The only real difference is that Ryobi is more honestly priced.
This is probably the dumbest comment I've seen all day. Durr the V6 mustang and gt are made in the same factory by the same company, don't think anything more of the gt though. Moron.
Ryobi and Milwaukee are made by the same company, Techtronic Industries. These drills were probably even made by the same exact engineers. It all comes down to two factors. Engineered to price, and planned obsolescence. The price to the consumer is just the end result of those two guidelines.
I think people want the power, quality and reliability at a lower price and the company probably wants them to think they are getting it with Ryobi. Both great points from you guys. I guess they want to supply something at every price point but I'd always go with the quality tool
You are correct about Craftsman being owned by Stanley Black and Decker, however portable power tools have been produced for the Craftsman brand by companies including DeWalt, Emerson Electric Company and Techtronic Industries.
William Ford Why would they pay TTI when they already own a power tool manufacturer? We are talking new tools not 1982. (DeWilt is also StanleyBlack&Decker)
This really just proved that the output is very similar even though this test tested the bottom line ryobi vs mid range milwakee. Ive smoked dewalt, milwakee and makita. They will all smoke if overworked, ryobi is a great value and is jobsite viable.
Im sorry but I don't know much but have you noticed that the machine in your left hand almost always win ? When you put them against each other you press the machine or your left first ? Does that make a difference because that makes the right drill have to stop that left drill every time for the reason it starts burning out everytime?
My wife bought me this Ryobi still for Christmas and I won’t lie, I acted like that was the very drill I had been looking to buy, but inside I was groaning because I was about to go buy a DeWalt. But after a few days of use I was actually happier with my little green monster. It may not have the torque of the DeWalt but it’s perfect for what my needs. Had it for almost two years now and it’s still going strong on the original battery.
Well I guess it is fun to watch. but you should go with what you know and what you can afford. Being in the maintenance field I've used them all. And like everybody else said correct tool for the correct job. P.S. I own one of most of them. Any one can break a tool, but only smart people use them right.
Please do an accurate test of the tools. I don’t really care if a Ryobi can beat a Milwaukee in a “tug of war”. I want to know which can actually WORK. Drill holes in wood, metal, plastic, etc. Screw screws. Drive in lag bolts. Run wire brushes.
illuminati How about overall usability, ergonomics, battery life? If the real world these two drills are going to function the same. Unless you come across a screw that fights back.
When was the last time a tool brand has changed their battery platform within the last 8-10 years? By the time a battery platform will change the tool will be ready to replace, especially if it has a brushed motor
@@xavier1964 it’s the same battery platform but with a different shell design so they’re still backwards and forwards compatible. Unless you’re speaking of V18 (not M18) batteries which have been out of production for over 12 years at least
@@TheBrownieSundownHD Great observations. That is 100% that it doesn't mean anything. Same company, different divisions and facilities, different specs, different everything, just owned by TTi.
That is wrong. They are owned by the same corporation "TTI" but they operate completely separate from eachother, and are very much still competitors. Same with RIGID as well.
I have a Ryobi corded drill and i like everything about it, good speed control and i have put it through it's tests in the last 8 years. If anyone watching this is now thinking about not buying one then you are being mislead. These drills are designed to do a job they are intended and designed to be used for. I'm sure Ryobi could design a drill that could win this test and be good at nothing else, what will that prove, not a lot, just like this test. It's all about the tool using it that lets it down. Shame on pranglestar
This test just signifies that one drill is better than the other. Not that Ryobi is bad, depending on your circumstance it might be perfect for you. If you have the money and need for a high quality tool however, Milwaukee is a better choice.
I have four Ryobi drills, two are at least 6 years old. All are going strong after getting years of normal use and abuse. I see no need to look elsewhere unless they all die.
I you really want to test milwaukee vs Ryobi you should try drills on the same price range. The Ryobi brushlees hammer-drill ($57) would probably perform better than the milkwaukee ($68).
Zachary Haugen ryobi is bad to be honest, I had the same ryobi drill he had and for almost 1 year I had constant problems, like it would not work and I would have to disassemble the entire drill to fix it... it did this weekly
LegoBoy1919 I bought a ryobi set nearly 10 years ago and only thing that went out was the batteries , last year I bought a whole new set in the green colors and to my surprise the new batteries brought back to life all the old drills and saws ... so now I have 2 of everything and they keep on working just fine
Built a ton of stuff, including large structures, with my dad and a pair of Ryobi 18v. Dropped them from 10' onto concrete and they worked fine. I have some "better" drills now and yes, they are better (bit more torque, better batteries etc...) but if you are on a budget, you can get a Ryobi and another decent entry-level tool for the price of a better single tool and when building your toolbox, there is nothing wrong with that. With the "trade your tool" deals places do, you can easily upgrade your Ryobi to something better later and use it to get a nice discount.
The ryobi isnt just for small screws here and there. I use mine a lot and i often drill 15 mm holes with it and i havent had a problem with it since i bought it
Ryobi stuff is good value for the money and plenty good for most people. I did buy a Makita drill only because I'm a tool snob, not necessarily because I needed better quality. I never would have worn either one out.
The Ryobi has another battery you can buy that shows what level it's at if you really like that feature. I have lots of Ryobi tools and they work great.
Yeah same here, this guy should do his research before giving statements that could be misleading to someone who would like to buy a drill for a relatively cheap price
@@henrydube2028 My Ryobi 5 piece set came with 2 2AH batteries that had the battery level led setup on the front. Had that set going on 6 years now love my Ryobi set. This test is pointless and idiotic
You paid way to much for that Ryobi! The exact drill is $80 at Home Depot. That's one of the cheapest drills they make. You can buy a brushless hammer drill with the big 4 amp hour battery for only $150. Lol
Indeed...and I think that may be the subcompact one - I have the ~5 year old "compact" ryobi which looks bigger and I paid $99 for a combo drill+mini circ saw combo kit at Home Depot.
History Rambler Mark 4 amp hour really where do you get that and it doesn't matter now I already bought two amp hour batteries 20 volts there for my high voltage power supply
Hi all i am a crane operator from the UK and a good diy'er so i am re-building the 20x14 wooden shed in new house. i have watched these MILWAUKEE DEMOS and went with a new set of MILWAUKEE impact driver bits for demolition over my used and abused Ryobi impact bit set [using my Ryobi impact driver] NOT IMPRESSED one bit, the first 3 MILWAUKEE BITS JUST SNAPPED OFF so i went back to the Ryobi impact bit set and got what i needed done, that experience has totally put me off the MILWAUKEE RANGE and i don;t care what anyone says about Ryobi their range of 18v tools have allways worked for me .
I use Ryobi nearly every day at work, my partner uses Milwaukee. I've never needed to borrow his. Also, I would feel less of a sting in the wallet if my Ryobi fell off the ladder and broke or if I left it on the bumper of my truck.
CriticallyCorrect1 EXACTLY!!! Ryobi does not have the high metrics that the Milwaukee has, but on real life day-to-day job sites, it gets the job done with no complaints. And when some knuckle head drops it off the roof, it’s no big deal to replace.
Ryan Welty I've dropped my Milwaukee drill from attics several times in the 7 years I've owned it. It still works! I just recently bought a dewalt since the Milwaukee started dying on me. My old Milwaukee still works but now I need to bang the battery around a bit to get it to work. Very inconvenient when I need to drill through brick or 2x4s. I think I killed my Milwaukee after all these years because I was drilling through a ton of brick about a month or two ago and it probably overheated.
I've owned the same Ryobi hammer drill for roughly five years. In that time I've dropped it numerous times off ladders of varying heights, and it has never failed. It has actually outperformed newer Milwaukee and DeWalt drills of the same type. Many diehard Milwaukee fans actually came away impressed with my drill after borrowing it. Also, I love the versatility of the batteries; i.e. their ONE+ system. I've owned a few yard tools, including a chain saw and weed whacker, that used the batteries. Therefore, based on my own experiences professionally, (I'm an electrician), I'll spend my money on something I've proven works better than the high-dollar drill.
I ve been using ryobi for about 4 years doing metal roofing and they havnt missed a beat. Other workers using dewalt are on there 3rd drills.Ryobi may be slightly less powerful but i swear by them.
I would rather use a Ryobi myself due to past experience with their earlier blue models on a assembly line for a car manufacturer. I don't mind like you if they are not that beefy like the professional line of equipment. If it cuts, drills, screws a bolt in and what ever else that I'm doing. It does the job in my books and I'm happy about it.
In terms of rank, Ryobi is mid-range DIY grade. DeWalt, Milwaukee and Makita are professional grade or heavy duty DIY. Black and Decker is for those who want a single use tool. Ryobi is for the average DIYer for stuff like working with wood, thin metal. Makita and pro brands are for heavy use or DIY work with stuff like cast iron pipe, thick steel, etc.
My Ryobi set came from a company that use to install metal roofing. It was well used and abused, then it was pasted to me 5 years ago. Still use them daily, I can't believe the batteries are still going. Maybe next time when testing tools (especially drills) , try a more realistic approach.
Sorry dude! This is a very perverted method to test a drill! What is the actual and applicable result of this test for a user? Why you think, this test could verify the quality of a brand?
Last video with jack was very informative.....showing him(and me) how to save your bar and chain with a different cut on the log. What we LEARNED in this video is that even though you care deeply about old tools and have shown us how to care for them and your chainsaws you have a spare $260 to spend trashing new drills. Really who is going to buy a drill based on these tests. Look over your older videos Cody and you will see these torture tests are not up to your usually high standards. I like learning something new from you and I am greatful for it really but I already have an eight year old who can break things! Looking forward to the next homesteading video thanks
It does teach you tho.. if you work in construction or do industrial work your not gonna go with cheapest. But people try to find cheap ways around this. And I can say personally me and the guys i have worked with have put tools in worst abuse then this on a job and this video explains why you don’t cheap out. Also shows that the ryobi would be good for finish work or small jobs or even household drill. But as far as big construction or industrial you’d be better spending the money for a good brand.
I have been a professional remodel carpenter for almost 30 years. I received a Ryobi set for Xmas 15 years ago. At first I didn't like it. Thought everyone would make fun of me, which they do, and I wouldn't look professional without a Milwaukie or some other pro brand. But they work just fine and the replacement batteries are way more affordable. Now I have 2 sets. Better than porter cable. Which used to be the standard in the industry. Ryobi's are perfectly adequate.
this a no brainner the mill will win. that said the ryobi is a great tool for the home owner does light to medium jobs from time to time. I have one that I used in a factory setting daily i still have it after I retired
I see a lot of people saying the ryobis work fine and how this test doesn't really show their intended use. As wranglerstar said, this is a test of toughness. I use a Milwaukee drill everyday for commercial use and I can tell you in a pinch you don't always use a drill for it's "intended purpose" and having a tool that's tough enough to handle that adversity is important in a commercial setting. Ryobi is fine for home use. NEVER waste the money if you're going to use it everyday
That red blinking on the charger at 12:20 is testing and/or temperature warning and will charge after it has cooled. The batteries also shut off when they get too hot to increase battery longevity, which explains why the Ryobi shut off in torque off.
Nope, Ryobi and Milwaukee are both owned by TTI a Chinese company, while TTI only has the rights to Ridgid power tools. Ridgid is owned by Emerson. So basically Ryobi, Ridgid, and Milwaukee are all different levels of products from one company in power tools anyways.
15:39 "What did we learn?" We learned that you're not sure what a drill is used for. An utterly idiotic test; I'd rather watch you set fire to your money.
This man faced criticism, people called him Biased. Then he made this video, proving all of those people wrong. My respects to him. Milwaukee for the win.
Paid $249 for Ryobi- (2) 2 amp hour batteries, charger, oscillating tool, palm sander, flashlight, hand held vacuum, drill driver, impact drill, reciprocating saw, 5 1/2 inch circular saw, and a weed wacker, and Ryobi duffel bag at Home Depot. Also it came with all the accessories for each tool. With that said the drill driver is my least favorite Ryobi tool. I own DeWALT and Milwaukee tools as well but I couldn’t pass up that deal and all of the tools have impressed me. The drill driver the least.
I didnt read all the comments. Anyone notice that wasn't a 2x4 setup. The ryobi sat higher yet he angled it to the chuck. He also never mentioned chuck sizes. Ryobi looked like 3/8 the mil was 1/2. Models? I'm glad u did this tho. Respect for working with the drills. Not a lot of control values
If you're looking for a real world test don't come to these videos. There are a hundred plus videos of real world testing. These are fun absurd unrealistic tests. I'm glad he makes them. No one else would.
Have owned a construction company for over 35 years and have use Dewalt, Makita, Ryobi, and Milwaulkee. From my experience nothing is as durable and powerful as Milwaulkee products. Even there batteries are better. With that said the average guy will have no issues with regular jobs around the house with any of the brands but if you make a living with your tools buy Milwaulkee.
All you guys hating this video stop watching it, it literally shows which drill is better built, Milwaukee is literally one of the best tools on the market
This drill is the base model Ryobi. Hence it is the only one in their lineup with a plastic looking chuck. Also, if these drills aren't Chinese drills I don't know what this guy means when he says "Chinese drills" as they are both made by the Chinese parent company Techtronics International (TTI) in China! Yes folks Milwaukee Tools is now a Chinese brand after selling out to the Chinese!
As someone who has had tools stolen before, I think the Ryobi does well enough for the vast majority of my needs and I will cry less when stolen or they break.
