I hear ya.... My buddy has one of those DeWalt cordless kits with the
circular saw and drill. It's 18 volt and a bit big to carry around all day
on the job I think.... but he keeps the kit on his boat. Works great!

| Professionals buy and use tools that get the job
| done quickest. Professionals buy Ryobi for the
| reason stated earlier--Dewalt cost more without
| any gain in quality. Hang out at Home Depot and
| see who buys these tools--mostly professionals.
|
| Higher voltage 18 V or 24 V tools work better
| than 12 Volt tools. The advantage of 12 volts
| tools is you can charge them without a charger
| cradle directly off deep cycle batteries by
| hooking them up in parallel. Higher voltage
| offers better battery life, but requires an
| inverter and charger with an associated loss
| in charging efficiency.
|
| I have two 18 V Ryobi drills, a saw, a sawsall,
| a vacuum, and a worklight, and four batteries.
|
| The light weight of these tools versus the time
| needed to configure power cords makes tool
| choice. If the job can be done with battery
| power that's a plus. Many job sites don't have
| power, or setting up extension cords is a job
| in itself. A boat at sea is a good example
| where such tools have great utility.
|
| Ryobi battery powered tools can handle moderate
| professional applications and often they are
| better suited to professional work than
| Skillsaw's and AC powered Milwakee sawalls.
|
| My Ryobi tools are so good I tossed out my
| old AC powered drills, sold two homeowner grade
| saws, sold all my battery powered Makita tools,
| and kept only my biggest AC powered right angle
| super heavy duty drill, my Sawsall, and two
| Skillsaws.
|
| For the cost of two batteries, you can buy
| those plus an extra drill. I find four batteries
| and two chargers keep me working without pause.
| In two and half years these drills have taken
| all the abuse I can give them.
|
| My Ryboi skillsaw cuts lots of 2x4's on a
| single battery although it is not tough enough
| for larger material even with battery changes.
| Along with a Paslode nailgun it's perfect for
| small framing jobs and avoids long set up
| times. I used one exclusively for finish
| framing in a third floor attic remodel. I like
| it so much I'm thinking about buying a Ryobi
| chop saw.
|
| Ryobi skillsaws work great cutting cedar
| shingles on a roof where a cord is in the way.
| Also, a full size sawsall won't fit in small
| spaces like cutting or widening plumbing and
| wiring holes between studs.
|
| They are also cheap and affordable. Anyone
| says these tool are not professional grade has
| his head up his ass.

| Loco, Ryobi doesn't make a professional cordless drill. They are all
cheap
| consumer models for the most part. Nor have I ever seen a "pro" pull a
Ryobi
| anything out. Dewalt, Makita, Porter Cable and Some B&D are good
products

years. I

Bob strikes me as the type of person to have a Hilti gun and no clue as

how to use it.... for the sole purpose to claim he has professional

tools. Next he'll claim he only buys Milwaukee Tools!


Sorry, Mooron, I buy tools that last. I've had a B&D professional
grinder
for
11 years and used it on boat tasks for 9 years. My Porta Cable sander is
not
only durable, it also does a better job than others I've used. The
Makita
is a
film set standard for the setbuilders union and costs under 150.00. At
such a
small price why cheap out with a Ryobi? There's just no reason to not
have
the
better tool when the cost is so small.
As usual, you're not only wrong, but shown to be a cooked fish in the
process!
Enjoy your Walgreen Drill!!!

Bwahahahahahaha!

My Ryobi tools are so good I tossed out my
old AC powered drills, sold two homeowner grade
saws,

Ryobi is junk. I got a drill flashlight kit and it died fast. The premium for a
better Makita is tiny. My oldest Makita is OLD and works like new. My new one
is faster and goes forever. I almost never need the second battery. Sorry, I've
looked the Ryobis at Home Depot. Junk for people who need to save a few bucks
and pretend it's still money well spent.
There's just no reason to buy less than a very good tool. Sooner or later it
will pay you back.

RB

Anyone
says these tool are not professional grade has
his head up his ass.

Ryobi says they are not professional grade. I can't wait till Scotty reports he
cheaped out on a Ryobi. BTW, Ryobi leads every other make in refurbs because
they have the highest amount of failures.

You cheapskates crack me up!

RB

It's also convenient as there's 2 Sears tool stores within 10 miles of us.

Yeah...always good to buy tools based on where the store is!

Bwahahahahaha!
