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.

Robi's are used by many professionals.


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
actually used by pros. Makita is among the top units around for many years. I
also use Porta Cable sanders. Bosch jigs are the best due to the patents. Ryobi
makes 50 & 60 dollar cheapie's or combi kits. Scotty already owns enough crap,
so why egg him on to get more?
Ryobi available at National Liquidaters!

RB

There you have it.

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!

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

I'm gonna hold out for a professional grade B&D.

They don't make them anymore and you can't afford anything professional, unless
your wife gives you a discount.

Sheep to the slaugher, folks!

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.

Bob.... I should take this time to point out that actually using the tools
might effect their performance over a period of time.

Unless of course you continue to use a grinder to buff your hull....
Bwahahahahahahahahaaaa!!

Professional Grade Black & Decker.... Ha Ha Ha Ha.... I'm weak from
laughter!

Bob.... I should take this time to point out that actually using the tools

My tools are used on cars (3), boats (3) and around the home as well. Last
season I did more work on various boats than you probably ever did. I'm sure
you couldn't even install a thru-hull. I've done them on 6 different boats. Two
seasons ago I expertly stripped off the paint from a CD 22 and restored the
original gell...did the same on a Typhoon. Gee, Mooron...tell us what grit of
paper to use on such a hull with moderate oxidation and some discoloring.
I bet you can't even tell us that.

You use your drill on your car?????? Good Grief! Please explain in detail
the type of "work" you're doing!

In the boatyard that won't let owners work on their boats????
Bwahahahahahahaaa

Wo-o-o-o-o-o..... a thru-hull..... now that's challenging. Did you
manufacture the contoured backing plates as well??
Bwhahahahahaaaa!!

Did you peel the gel coat with a planer? Now when you reapplied the gel
coat..{ Hang on I'm having trouble typing due to the tears of laughter]...
how did you restore "the original gel"do it so it would apply with a gloss
finish? This should be good!

Grit??? Grit!!!! Bwahahahahahahahaaaaa. Ever hear of rubbng compound Bob?
Try that with your "Professional Grade Grinder" next time you "buff" a
hull!!! Bwahahahahahahahaaaaaa!!!
