THE Reason People Buy Ryobi Tools 

BS. They pay you? $$$$$$$

@@navrozepanthaky-v8h lies. Ryobi has never paid me a single penny for any content. Ever.

@@731Woodworks Ryobi is cheap garbage. Plastic parts that break and then people just throw it in the landfill. Please stop promoting trash.

What about Craftsman

Why do think Ryobi is less expensive? Do they break more easily, are they heavier, are they less accurate? I use Ryobi and I haven't had an issue but I am just wondering what I am missing with the other brands. I got into Ryobi since I bought one tool and then the battery fit an other tool and then I bought more batteries which fit more tools, flash lights, air pumps, weed eater, blower etc. and then I find two for one drills and impact drivers sold with extra batteries.

That’s it right there!

If your ryobi works after 20 weeks your lucky

​@@stevenstevens990I have several tools that old

@@stevenstevens990 My family has been using Ryobi for the last 3-4 years and none of the batteries, or tools, have failed us yet

​@@stevenstevens990not at all, ive got plenty that are way older than that.

My supply house just swaps out my dewalt and Milwaukee battery tools for new ones if I have a problem. Best customer service a contractor could ask for

WOW, now that is impressive. And you talked to an actual person.

@@scottyellis3442 Precisely what I thought!!!

I tried their 40V line, and went back to 18V

The best service I ever got was from Exaco which imports German Greenhouses from Riga

You got me curious now. I have an old ryobi set like the one he's showing, but mine is blue and my batteries are dead. I thought it was obsolete and haven't touched it in years.

@@robroy1174 If I could post pictures in comments, I'd upload my Dad's old ryobi with a lithium ion battery hooked up.

Get a battery and a new charger and you're good to go. ​@@robroy1174

@@robroy1174oh yeah the old blue style still work with the lion batterys, i have my grandfathers old blue impact and it still works great

I hear you mate! My work supplies Milwaukee but for myself I can't justify the cost difference between Milwaukee and Ryobi. Let others laugh until they have their tools stolen and have to replace them. You won't hear the end of their bitchin'. Enjoy your Ryobi in blue or green. Mark from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺

@markfryer9880 lol it's happened quite a few times Mark. Then they turn to me and say hey can I borrow that for a moment? And I say nope! You'd rather be caught dead than have ryobi in your hand, don't you remember saying that? So die! 🤣 I have Milwaukee for my bigger stuff, electric powered cable cutters, 3/4 drive impact, etc but I probably have 5green for every red.

@markfryer9880 Melbourne, I hear that city come up alot when I watch yalls version of shark tank!

How can I become a contractor or work for one and pull 6 figures so I don’t feel like a slave anymore

@Adioownz1 you can't work for one and pull 6figures unless you become an electrician. Outside of that, becoming your own contractor is simple...but nerve racking and stressful which is why most people don't, you dont have an employer paycheck every week, you only get paid if you generate your own work. However, if your confident. Have the drive, and have mastered a skill...YOU CAN DO IT!!! And pull that 6figure income your looking for but it's WORK. Come up with your fictitious business name, get your business license, get insurred, and start advertising. Do some low bid jobs to get your name out there (word of mouth by your customers is a must). Whether your working on forklifts, docks, doors, residential work, what you can do is endless. Even if you have no major skills or licenses..you can do lawncare, pressure washing, literally anything. I've even seen kids on my block making $1,000 a day going door to door and painting people's adress number on the curb for $25 a house. Even though it's a grind..anyone can do it. People are just scared to fail and want to feel secure so they continue to put on that hard hat, punch the clock, and fall in line.

That old blue stuff worked like a charm and still does

The Nicad versions, I have one and a 1/2" drill that is the new neon green capacity as well, I drive a Hybrid Camry, I prefer reliability

Amen brother and with the new batteries in the old blue, they run better than they did when they were brand new coming out of the box. In fact, the blue tools with the new batteries act as though they’re hyped up on super steroids. Take care, blue brother.

Nah, Ryobi was always junk. Weak and never hold good charge. Once I bought a combo kit that had a small battery powered circular saw. You tried and make three cuts on 1x6 pine siding and it was dead. Total garbage.

I have several blue ryobi tools and they just won't die I've had them almost 15 years and they got heavily abused building bmx ramps and stuff when I was 16

For reallll, I just bought my first cordless rachet at Home Depot yesterday and it’s working amazing, didn’t even have to buy a battery cause my dad already has some Ryobi tools 🔥🔥

ya for sure. but the tools definitely arent as good as other brands

​@randal3122 they are good enough for most DIY projects at home by homeowners who just need something that works. I don't think they are meant for everyday hard use on a construction site.

Yeah I bought my ryobi 5 tool kit around Christmas of 2021. Decided it wasn't best for me and went to Milwaukee. I kept the ryobi though, so my son can have tools in a couple years when hes old enough to help me with stuff.

@@BrokeMahWallet I had that ratchet and I returned it. My only complaint is that it's too big. That ratchet is one of the main reasons I switched to Milwaukee

Man I hear you but there’s a reason no other major brand uses batteries like ryobi does and that’s because they are stupid. The footprint is gigantic, the handles are always long and wide. Ryobi really should have switched to slide style but I guess it ropes in the weirdos who can’t stand to buy a couple more tools for a lifetime of comfort, ergonomics, and size.

Dewalt comes to mind. Their older tools are basically obsolete now because of the battery change.

Don't get the smallest vacuum cleaner. The next size up is awesome

​@@drewschumann1I got the smallest one because I wanted something super portable. I've got plenty of shop-vacs for the big jobs; wanted something small that wouldn't get in my way.

This ☝️☝️☝️

Lol. No I just hate the really low quality of the tools. I have Makita for work but Ryobi at home. Drills, impact driver and multi tool are actually entirely ok. Saws and grinders don't have thermal shutdowns and will smoke doing normal stuff. I started w/ Ryobi when I went to work for myself. I now have a Harbor Freight 18v impact wrench and even though it was cheap it's still better quality than any of my green tools

And a vast majority of this type of comment is from people who can't conceive of use cases where a person might need (or even want- imagine such a thing) a better tool

...and those people are likely pros who even destroy top of the line tools from hard use, I've been in the trades for 2 decades. The people who actually need top of the line for hard, every day use aren't going to buy homeowner grade tools in the first place, much less whine about them online. That's reserved for people like you.

lol no... it comes from people who use their tools for a living.

It is absolutely the person. Travel 100-200 years in the past and ask the best carpenters if they’d go Milwaukee over Ryobi or Dewalt etc… they’ll pull out some hand tools and tell you to step aside lol.

@@martinrivera6770 Travel even further back and ask the best doctors to treat a schizophrenic patient and they'll send them to get an exorcist. technology and equipment? pfff for the rookies

​@martinrivera6770 ...And then they would promptly die of consumption at the ripe old age of 24.

@@NunYaaBizzyou’re really trying to equate building furniture with life saving medical advances

Ryobi is definitely one of the best for personal use. Problems arise when you go industrial and need something that can rattle hard for 10 hours without burning out.

Yeah, something like 2000 Home Depots in the states, not to mention the direct tools factory outlets run by tti

Same boat. Even have some of the older blue color ones that work fine with the newer batteries.

You are soooooo right about that and I have never had one of my tools break, my buddy had a gas powered weed wacker and saw mine used it and he went and bought one for his self, now he has all the other ryobi electric stuff to go with it... p.s. I have the ryobi lawnmower and it is a beast as well👊🏾

I only own 1 green tool. All the rest are blue with newer lithium batteries.

Why would you lug a compressor around? Mine stays on the truck. Never comes off. A couple hose are a lot easier to use if you are too cheap to have a cordless nailer.

​@@johnprater7588he just said he's not too cheap and has one

​@@johnprater7588 ya ever sand a school gymnasium?

@@Teeveepicksures nope but my compressor would still stay on the truck. The sanders I have used were electric anyway. So I would just use more cord. I wouldn't lug a Genny around

I wouldn’t trust somebody in the trades that uses the word “ clutch” that’s all I’m saying

That’s simply not true, you seriously don’t know they make an adaptor for this? Some of y’all are weird. Buy the $10 adapter and keep rocking the better tools with better performance.

If they keep changing battery standard then you keep buying adapters adding more cost and hassle to getting to use your already expensive tools Sure, a solution may exist, that doesn't mean people are aware of it or want to deal with the hassle of it.

@@shadygunshow I've looked into those adapters before, all of them I've seen look like they are big, bulky and akward to use.

The new Craftsman tools are of much better build quality. I know. I've been repairing tools for 25 years. You made the right choice.

I always say, if your skills need a brand name, you dont have any.

@@blmartech I could not agree more!! I know someone who has a garage filled with Festool who could not make a box if his life depended on it & I know a teenage DIYer who loves woodworking & buys only what he can afford who makes some of the most beautiful pieces I’ve ever seen.

yet of all the skilled wood workers i know, none of them use ryobi tools. so confused ...

​@kaufmanat1 tools burn out if used alot but thier right in a way skilled craftsman will get results with cheap tools still.

@@sewerrat7612 for sure.

Well, you’d be wrong because they absolutely do not. They do have some oddballs like the bug zapper but they don’t offer 1 single heavy duty use tool so that alone should have been your hint.

ive had 3 ryobi batteries fail on me.

Your friends dewalt didn’t happen to be a BRUSHED MODEL did it? Yall fall for anything. Dewalt ppl are even worse thinking that their tools are stronger because they are 20v

Contractor here that has ryobi and dewalt . I’ll take the ryobi all day.

@@brianmacl6724 Thanks for sharing your experience.

I left the same comment lol..

haha i did the same on my daughters power wheel, doubled the speed :)
