Just bought a house. Would Ryobi be a good brand to invest in for home stuff? They have a drill/driver combo with a third battery promo going on at the moment. I would eventually need a sander, saw, trimmer etc.. and the lineup looks cheap to get into.
Thoughts?

I've got ryobi one+ gear and for home shit it's perfect. Don't listen to the autistic cunts on here that think you need $10,000 worth of tools to fuck around at home.

If you like cheap stuff.
Get it if you dont have any or are gonna use it for light use once a month jobs other wise spend the extra 1/2 bones and get something beefier

Ryobi is ok for light duty use it once in a while stuff... Makita, DeWalt, and Milwaukee will be more sturdy... Buy an extension cord and real tools for anything other than drill and driver.

Also an addendum to >>16872675 what >>16872671 says isn't incorrect I also own ryobi, you don't need 10,000 worth of tools just keep in mind you do get what you pay for the most part (snap-on not excluded)

My Ryobi tools work great for me
>>
Ryobi is fine, especially for homeowner stuff. Fact is most of these brands are owned by the same company, so while Ryobi is made a bit cheaper than I think it's Milwaukee it's made by the same company in the same factories and shares many components.

Personally I like Milwaukee because they have a lineup of readily available stuff and that lineup is pretty expansive. The batteries are the real killer and bare tools are all pretty cheap so just pick the lineup that has what you want and buy a combo kit with some nice big batteries and a charger, then you can expand as needed. Ryobi for example doesn't make an impact wrench big enough to pull lugnuts, so if that's something you might want it's better to get a lineup that includes that. It'll be cheaper in the end and you won't have ten batteries to deal with.

I'd stay away from Ridgid as I have heard they are a pain in the dick on warranty stuff. But generally you can just figure out what tools you want, see which brands sell all those tools with the same battery, and pick the color that matches your eyes.

Rigid sucks duck. Their in-battery drill could not hold a charge after 6 months and it had low torque.

Thanks for the input. I do have a corded impact wrench already but it's hefty. I wouldn't mind the battery impact to quickly get off some bolts but lug nuts I don't expect from it.

>>16872682
Well my reasoning for going ryobi is the cheap lineup that again will be used for the odd house project.

>Well my reasoning for going ryobi is the cheap lineup that again will be used for the odd house project.

Seriously you won't be disappointed. Ryobi stuff is really great for the price.

And the line is constantly getting updated.

Plus:

>working at height
>drop cheap ryobi drill onto concrete
>it breaks
>buy new cheap ryobi drill

>working at height
>drop expensive [fancy brand] drill from height
>it breaks
>fork out for another expensive [fancy brand] drill

Just because they're expensive doesn't mean they're bulletproof. There's a higher chance they'll survive a drop but ryobi stuff seems pretty solid.

Huh, last I checked they just had a little dinky one rated at "300" ft lbs or something. As we all know lugs that sit through a salty winter take waaaay more torque to come off than they do going on. So when spring rolls around those lugs on your wife's SUV that got torqued on at 120 ft lbs before they got all crusty with salt are gonna take a bit more. Sure you could do it with a breaker bar but then what's the point of the shiny tool you told her you needed for exactly this job? You gotta get one of them big bad mama jamas so everyone else knows how big your dick is. Pic related.

Anyway it was just an example. If the Ryobi impact works for you, by all means buy Ryobi. Color's a bit fuckin weird but at least you won't lose it in the snow. And if that tool you decide you gotta have is the electric hedge trimmer and only Bosch makes it, then go for Bosch. If it's that sweet yellow cordless grinder that's all the rage, go for the yellow team. If all you really want is a drill/driver and 1/4" impact driver then don't worry about it and get the one you like. I'm just saying don't buy, say, a Panasonic drill because it's on sale and then find out they don't make a portable band saw and you shoulda gone with a different color.

I have mostly DeWalt stuff, or whatever I picked up at Home Depot the day I needed it. I think the only Ryobi thing I have is my garage door opener.

>I would eventually need a sander, saw, trimmer etc
>eventually
What do you need right now? Do you have remodeling to do, or are you just trying to be prepared? I gutted my current home, it was a foreclosure and needed pretty much everything. There really aren't that many power tools you need to be honest, and the one-off stuff you can rent easier. You're better off picking up the other basics if you don't have them yet, like a putty knife and pipe cutter.

The deck needs work but inside is fine for now. Just projects in sight. Maybe you're right about one off situations for tools, I see the lineup and know I'll need this and that eventually but not for more than a project. The tools that will be in rotation will be the drill,weed whacker,driver and sander.
>>
>>16872876
>weed whacker
I went with EGO for my trimmer and blower, both work great. I think they're a bit more powerful than any of the Ryobi offerings. And any of the trimmers that use the same battery as your drill are going to be really weak.

>I see the lineup and know I'll need this and that eventually but not for more than a project
Pick stuff up as you need it, rather than getting it all at once (unless there's a big sale or something). I haven't used half the things I thought I would when I started out, and it's easy to grab something I don't have when I go buy whatever else I need for a project. Cordless drill is definitely worth having though, and lots of bits.

>>16872961
Hmm well I wasn't going to get it all at once but overtime over the next year I'd say. Interesting point that things like the leafblower, weed whacker and trimmer would be underpowered with the battery system. I wanted to look into ryobi cause the lineup would be cheap but it seems it may be just as cheap to just buy the corded version of things (or guzzoline) as needs arise.

I'm looking at drills and some state (ryobi) 24 speed while more expensive brands may go to 16. I get the need for variable speeds, I've used them, but does the higher number mean the drill is really any better or just marketing?

Their smaller li battery packs tend to die. The larger ones are fine. I use for house stuff, including building a 300sq foot addition, all weekend long and the do fine.

I have a Ryobi 18+ drill, impact driver, and impact wrench. The drill and driver are awesome. The impact wrench is a complete piece of shit and a total waste of money. Worst $100 I ever spent on a tool.

I'm going to sell the Ryobi on eBay, because I found an 18V Snap-on impact wrench that I scored for $177 shipped with two batteries and a charger.

The Snappy was used, but it came out to be the same price as a shit-tier Ryobi when you count batteries and charger.

Don't waste your money on that Ryobi impact wrench, but go for it on the impact driver/drill kit. Homeless Despot has that set for $99. Great value for money.

OP here.
Went to HD to try the Ryobi ($159) and Canadian tire for the Maximum 20v offer ($179). I'm going to get the Maximum combo and then the Ryobi trimmer/edger w/battery. I'll have access to the cheap lineup with that battery and have the convenience of the cordless trimmer which is nice for the small front and backyard.

The reason I'm not going all out ryobi with the drill/driver is cause I realized how huge that drill which I know will be a PITA to use for just small house stuff. A drill like that is what we needed when we finished the basement - wouldn't want to use it for anything else. There are pros and cons to both combo's but that one stood out for my needs and I wanna avoid a blogpost.

Thanks for your input guys and letting me know that Ryobi is worth it for cheap house stuff. I wanted to avoid going with a brand that would be overkill for my needs.

Contractor here.

Ryobi One+ are fine tools when it comes to drills. A lot of sub contractors and co-workers use them. Under heavy use, they only last about a year, but for a home owner they'll hold out for quite awhile.

Just try to get the silver li-ion batteries instead of the black Li-ion ones.

Makita, DeWalt, Milwaukee will be better tools, but you'll hardly use them enough to justify their extra durability.

Only thing I don't like about Ryobi's are the safety switches on most of their saw's. They'll be good for you if you're unfamiliar with using them and only do so casually and in ideal conditions, but if you're doing a lot of reaching and cutting from awkward angles standing 12ft in the air it can become a pain in the ass having to depress the safety switch.

I would recommend going corded for saws and stuff like that if you can. Battery tools are really only good for when you don't have a power outlet around on a job site. If you're in your garage, there's no excuse. A corded tool will be better and likely last longer.

If you want smaller tools consider 12v instead of 18v. I love my 12v compact stuff, jobs like hanging cabinets are so much easier with a light little tool that you can reach in and hold at weird angles. The drill has plenty of power if you're not doing anything with big spade bits or whatever and you can live with the 3/8 chuck. Milwaukee makes one with a 1/2 chuck but I'd hesitate to use a bit that big with it. The impacts have plenty of torque.

To continue my Milwaukee shilling they have a "subcompact" 18v line, you can still use the 18v batteries and the whole lineup, slap the bigass batteries on them, etc. Nice tools, I've tried them, but they come with the 1.5 ah batteries that don't last very long and when you put the big battery on you lose a lot of benefit from the size.

If I was only going to have one drill/drive and impact combo I'd go for a full size 18v because you can do more, but if you're concerned about the size of weight of the tool for how you intend to use it the 12v tools really can do quite a lot. I use the shit out of my little Bosch 12v tools in the shop a lot, taking say screws out of a 1972 Honda CB750 crankcase is so much better with a little impact like that than using an old school impact and a hammer. The little drill is more than enough for drilling out busted screws etc too. I have a couple of 4.0 aH batteries and they last for fuckin ever, and will drive 3" deck screws all day long. What they won't do: drill big holes, the drill I have doesn't have the hammer function and the one that does probably sucks (though all hammer drills are a gimmick to be honest, just get/rent a rotary hammer if you need to drill stone or concrete), the little impact struggles with very big screws in hard materials because of torque.

But as many have mentioned, you can waste a lot of money buying too much tool. Up to you.

Because marketing makes them retards. It's why they pay twice as much for an Acura or a Lexus when it's a rebadged Civic or Corolla.

Granted, powerplants are sometimes different - but 90% of it is the same and you're paying mainly for the "prestige".

There are a lot of differences. The penny pinching is what kills B&D tools for me. Powder metal parts where the DeWalt's is machined, smaller shittier bearings, lower quality plastics without any glass reinforcing, shittier switches and crustier electronics. The B&D batteries don't have temperature sensors on them and as such are more prone to overheating and failing. Heatsinks are smaller. The motors etc may be the same but most things are just a little bit worse. It's a shame, the B&D brand used to be worth something.

Same thing is happening to Milwaukee and DeWalt, Craftsman in hand tools. (Craftsman power tools have been bad for a long time, in fact the only ones I like are the Baldor-made bench grinders and maybe a few others.) Already happened to Porter Cable.

There's a lot of parts interchangeability but they are made cheaply, to fail after less use so Johnny Homeowner needs to buy a new one. The prosumer grade stuff (yellow, red, etc) tools are too but they're more expensive and made to last quite a bit longer. If you want something that's not designed to fail then be ready to spend pro buxx on probably something made in Germany.

Here's the first example I found online:

I know this isn't a specific tool that B&D also makes but you asked for DeWalt and there you have it.

If you want to see the difference, go to the store and pick up an equivalent DeWalt and Black & Decker drill and take them apart at home. Then put them back together and return them. Might want to do it at different stores to avoid the funny looks.

>>16878485
That's the $300 60V grinder, not the $99 18V drill. The drills aren't any better than B&D, I promise.

I went to Home Depot for a Dewalt "5 piece tool bundle" sale. A sawsall, drill, impact drill, flashlight, circular saw. They ran out but the clueless girl let me pick 5 tools for the same price. I was happy that day.
>>
>>16877916
No, it isn't bigger than other drills.

>>16878124
>If you want smaller tools consider 12v instead of 18v.
Bullcrap. I'll save time by replying to both, I switched from a 12v NiCd drill that was bigger and heavier than the Ryobi One+ 18v Li. I wasn't sure the Ryobi would hold up, but is plenty strong for being a smaller, lighter drill. Unless OP is the size and strength of a 13 yro girl, the Ryobi is not too much drill to handle for the power.
>>
>>16878171
Yeah, time to go to the Ryobi One + Li. You'll be much happier, and the Li battery is supposedly better for the DIYer, because the battery doesn't have to be drained to be recharged. NiCd batteries are suppose to be drained before charging to keep them lasting longer.

this.

the new Lowes hammer drill seems like a good one for the price. good on power, good on youtube reviews

I thought porter cable was shit now

>>16872661
I have a Ryobi drill and reciprocating saw that work fine under fairly heavy use. Got some more "pro" tools from Makita, Bosch and Metabo and honestly can't tell much difference.

Just avoid their cheapo NiCd batteries if they still sell them, those are cancer.

Also don't buy their battery powered lights (incandescent bulbs in AD 2017? are you shitting me?)

Why does everyone like cordless shit anyway? Had this for many years now, never an issue, and cost nothing compared to what cordless shit costs.
>>
>>16872661
Make sure you get lithium ion battery, and take it out of the unit when you're not using it.

Ryobi are solid gear, perhaps a bit overpriced for what they are. But I've a 18v cordless been going strong for 7 years now.

>>16880358
Do you really need someone to explain why something is preferred when not tethered by a long cord???

You autistic bastard
>>
>>16880406
There's never been a time where I've wished "Gee, if only I didn't have to plug this in". But there's been a few times were I've helped out others who have cordless and I've wished that I had my drill because it's easier to use.

T. Poorfag cant afford a cordless so justifies his autismo drill.

>>16880427
I can afford it, I just don't see a use for them.
If I'm in my shop, I use pneumatic. Outside, without access to air I use corded for everything.

Honestly the Dewalt 20v max is the best lineup, buy the bare tools and two 5.0AH batteries and the amount of tools is ridiculous

The sawzall, angle grinder, hammer drill, drill and driver and impact wrench, and both the regular and car tools
>>
>>16880812

XR tools not car tools,

Even the portable miter saw is impressive, priced well enough.

As a tool junky the cordless tools of today just blow my mind, I can only imagine the amount of tools that can run off batteries will be in 10 years

>>16874065
Edge trimmers are for retards and lazy asses. Turn to your trimmer, weed wacker, so the Line spins in a vertical circle to burn edges on sidewalks. Stihl is the best for gas powered lawn tools. Chainsaws, blowers, hedges, trimmers, polesaws, etc.

Well Ryobi does make a 1/2 inch impact that's fantastic for lugnuts. I use my old Ryobi 1/4 inch impact driver with a 1/2 inch socket adapter, for my lug nuts and it works great. No problems .
Yes, the RYOBI +1 tools are great for Home projects. I picked up all my Ryobi tools cheep, used on CL and just invested in 2 new lithium batteries.
I got 2 drills, a jigsaw, circular saw, reciprocating saw, impact driver, 2 flashlights, rotozip type hole saw, angel grinder, laminate trimmer router, all for $150 . The batteries were all bad, but I bought 2 new lithium ion batteries and all the tools work fantastic.

And that's about the only fucking faster it'll undo. It's a piece of shit. I have one. I'm getting rid of it.

Either build outside of it, or cut a fucking path in to where you're building.
If you can't get power there, you can't fucking get material there either.

Move your truck/generator closer. If you're plugging into a wall outlet, you're never that far away.

yeah ryobi is gud

my boss buys ryobi tools, we use them in commercial construction. we abuse the shit out of them and when theyre fucked we throw them away.

they should hold up to home use just fine.

protip: dont run the drill over with a skytrak, it didnt work no more after that.

Ryobi is a good home lineup but just score the battery through any combo but the impact one. Their bundle impacts suck ass.
