Ryobi 4volt USB lithium system on test RC439 RL14-120G RB4L30 RB420
I like my Ryobi kit. If you've watched any of my videos you'd know that! Today I unbox a system that's been sitting in the workshop since July.
Do not make the same mistake as I have. Make sure you register your tools within 30days of purchase or else you won't be granted the 3 year warrantee, just the standard 1year!! You've been warned.
That aside, this is my first encounter with the Ryobi 4volt USB lithium system. Basically you could say it's just a miniature version of their big stuff. Well, actually it is very similar, but I like it never the less.
I ordered the RC439 which is their sequential charger. It can charge 3 batteries but only one at a time, hence the word sequential. Just plug in 1, 2 or 3 batteries and leave it to do its stuff. Charge time is 60mins or 90mins for the 2Ah and 3Ah batteries respectfully.
I like the little batteries and there is only one way to insert them into the tool or charger so even I cannot make a mistake! I noticed the 3 amp battery has what the 18volt system has and that's a "State of charge indicator". Sadly the 2Ah has not been granted this feature.
Currently I only have one "tool" from the Ryobi range and that's the inspection torch. Ryobi do have other torches in the range to offer (and a shed load of other useful gadgets) but this I feel would be the best for me for the kind of work I do.
The torch feels robust and has a top quality touch to it. A belt clip and a strong magnetic base is built into the design as well as an O ring in the battery cap area to keep out moisture. I could't see any information about an IPX rating for the torch so will have to assume it is just moisture resistant. The run time on the low lumen setting, and there are 3, ranging from 125l to 650l, is 32 hours with the 2Ah battery and 48hours when using the 3Ah. Pretty impressive I think.
I've included links to Amazon and Ryobi should you wish to explore this range further.

      Hi, There is a delay on mine of about a second when watching on a fixed monitor attached to the Swann base unit and possibly more when on 4G. I suspect that's down to a lack of onboard processing power rather thank heat but if yours in a really warm place then the heat may add to the delay.

    Thanks for the video. I have had both the SB and more recently the DB models. The single bevel lasted about 2.5 years before I had pick up and the latest model 18 months before pick up. I did exactly what I see in your video i.e a wet stone and I am still considering what to do with latest machine. I had to carry out 2 subsequent strip downs with the SB model as it picked up again . I agree with your comment about keeping the rotary table clean / swarf ingress but having had the problem with my latest machine which has had little use I think that the issue may also be created with its design. The greatest mass is carried on the back of the table and this is where I see the pick up. The slide has to have clearance for it to turn (when I titled the saw head I could get 0.5mm feeler into the gap created at the front) and therefore as the head tends to tilt and lift it is applying the load on a smaller surface area. I think other than the pick up issue the machine is great and good value for money.

      Hi Paul, for the money I think the saw is good value. Obviously made down to a cost otherwise perhaps the issue we have may have been made better with a PFTE surface or similar. My Sons saw has also gone the same way as mine did so clearly a point that needs addressing by Evolution.

    Mine is way off. I just got it and while using NCV you don’t even have to touch something for it to start going off. I can touch my hand on the clamp and it starts going off. I don’t see any way to zero NCV. Only when you are measuring current, you can zero it. and when you use DC amps it just starts jumping all over the place, no matter how many times you zero it. Even if you put it right up to the wire, clamp around it, hit zero, and then turn the circuit on. It just starts jumping all over the place and giving you different readings every time you turn the circuit on and off. This thing is a joke.

      Hi and thanks for the comments. I've looked for the seller on eBay from where I bought mine and this is the link to the sellers site: www.ebay.co.uk/str/hydraulicpresstooling?_trksid=p4429486.m3561.l170197 but it states they will only ship to the UK. It might be worth contacting him directly via eBay as he may be able to help. Thanks for watching 👍🏽

    • @MikeMakesIt
      @MikeMakesIt 2 місяці тому

      Hi, when I bought one it was a separate unit but later when I checked, unfortunately, you do need to buy the spigot as well which is really expensive. The part number in 2017 was WJN500110 but now seems to incorporate the spigot . In 2017 it cost £15 for the plastic bit. Times have changed!! Thanks for watching 👍🏽

      @@silentobserver964 on a pi it takes around 30 seconds to reboot/refresh the display. This is when the display flickers. So for a clock, half the time there would be no real display. With a quicker processor perhaps you could get the display to refresh quicker. I’ve not looked at this though.

    I followed these instuctions and it worked perfectly. NOTE your Watchman detector might not be clearly visible on top of the tank as shown, mine was mounted inside the tank (it's double-walled), under the access hatch. 4 Duracell plus AAA betteries are a lot cheaper than a replacement power tube! The original duracell batteries have worked for 20 years so I'll probably never have to do this again.

    Hi Mike, it is me again lol.. the batteries i assume run out and i replaced them new (same Batteries as in the video) followed strict instruction the same as above like last year yet it is not working this time, any advice would be very much appreciated from you.. Thank you.

    • @MikeMakesIt
      @MikeMakesIt 2 місяці тому

      Hi. If you are able to measure the voltage at the connector of the battery tube you should be getting something slightly above 6 volts as they are new batteries. The center of the screw in connector must be the positive. If it’s not then there is something wrong with the battery fitting! Failing that unplug the receiver unit and leave it out for 30 mins. Mine goes a bit crazy when we have a power cut and can take hours until we get a correct display. The sender unit in the tank updates the unit about every 30mins so don’t expect to get a correct reading straight away. I hope this helps 👍🏽

    You can get to the third filer. On the side wall of the tumble drier there is a little rectangular panel with an arrow and a place to put a screwdriver. Remove that and the two screws that hold the filter in place and you can pull it out to clean it.
