After my De Walt gear was stolen I bought the Ryobi One+ set as a stop gap just to get me back out working and earning. I have not replaced them! 5 years later they are still going strong. They are used every week day but not for really heavy duty stuff. I really cannot complain and I will be sticking with them as they just do the job and cost a fraction of the price of De Walt and Milwaukee..
bought a Ryobi kit 30 years ago when they were blue, every tool still works perfectly.
Same just revived my dead batteries yesterday 2. Not the nicd
30 years ago!? holy cow
That’s insane, gives me high hopes I just got the 2 piece One+ HP with the actual HP 2.0 batteries
Ditto. And they all improved greatly when the Li batteries came out. The circ saw used to be useless, now it's great. Only blue tool for me that bit the dust was the recipro saw, the blade device broke, but the motor is still good. Great tools all.
@@dkeith45 loved my dads blue reciprocating saw! That thing was a monster cutting our trees down!
I’m a collision tech for a living. Admittedly I use Milwaukee exclusively at work but, ALL of my cordless tools at home are Ryobi and I put them through hell and they hold up great.
Almost a year has passed from your comment but I’d love to hear your opinion on if you think new ryobi tools could handle your occupational work?

Honestly, big ups to Ryobi for keeping the same old battery system on their tools, and upgrading technology by adding to it in a way that doesn't invalidate the rest of the eco system. Sure the HP contacts might mar a bit of the housing on non-HP batteries, but you can still use either battery in either tool, or use newer batteries in older tools, or keep using the older batteries in newer tools. Not to mention that other tools at one time used the same D shaft style of connector. Long term battery platforms is honestly what makes me prefer Ryobi, they're dedicated to this style of battery, where any other company would ditch one platform for another once tech changes enough.
My only concern is that these tools are getting so damn stubby, they need a new battery form factor to allow the tool to be as stubby s they're getting; such as reducing the length but increasing the height, as a stubby battery. What in the hell would a new form factor do to the long term ecosystem Ryobi has going for them? Sure, they could use a similar platform on top of the battery, chop the edge off of stubby tools to allow full sized batteries, but there's no solution for adapting full size tools to a stubby battery where balance is concerned, a full sized tool would just topple over, unless you shoehorn an adapter block on the front to act as a stand.
I think one day they will face to change battery it will be sad moment for all users. In my opinion that type battery is old compares other batteries but for me its good specially how simple tools are. I hope Ryobi will not die because of simplicity like Mercedes-Benz when produced engines that works too long :)
The main issue with them, aside from being a bit lower voltage than others, is that they stick out pretty good. So for instance, using their compact racket, they had to make the head swivel to compensate for the battery sticking way out past the head. My batteries never seem to last that long so I guess swapping them to a new system wouldn't be too bad, especially if they provide adapters in the interim.
They really screwed up doing this now their manuals don't even get the proper battery right. Their packaging the wrong batteries with tools to unload them. They won't be honest about cell construction and so on. Ryobi has become more expensive than milwaukee when bought at the right time and sales do to the battery bs. I'm returning everything I own and switching to milwaukee it's not even close when comparing.
@@onlywenilaugh6589 i'm guessing they will switch to a newer battery sooner than later. It limits them in tool design severely. The only way they could ever make this work is by having an adapter to make the new batteries work on older model tools AND giving people like 50% off a new battery when bring in an old battery to exchange. That way its decently fair and gets batteries recycled
Ryobi said they will keep this battery platform for years to come. they have more then 100-120 tools using this platform. It is very hard to do this change for a company that is oriented to home use and DYI-ers....
I have to say Ryobi HP brushless is a game change and have to give them hands down alot of credit for sticking to their guns and moving fwd in their brand. So far so good on our end. Love the channel
As a widowed middle aged lady, I’ve used my Ryobi tools for different jobs around the house. It has made it easy for me to take care of myself. Today I picked up a hand held air inflator: I saved so much money by already having two batteries at home. I bought a duffel bag kit a few years back that had a few tools and charger in it and two batteries. So grateful it was on sale at HD and I could afford it. I’m into brand loyalty of this company because it’s less expensive for this lower income hard worker to afford.
Love the new Ryobi tool line. Have a few on my list of must haves. I prefer the bright green color over the dark blue they once had. The green is easy to see and makes for a good look.
I love the bright green always been a ryobi fan and I love the new compact versions wish I had a set😁
Love this channel because they always bother to use the proper batteries with the proper tools... Which gives me great accurate information. Thank you guys for all you do
I love the bright lime green personally. It's high vis in your work area... More important than esthetic appeal (although I personally think they are esthetically pleasing)
I got my first Ryobi kit over 21 years ago. Everything works as well now as it did then.
I would love to see a test against the best in class.
I’ve gone through lots of batteries over the years and definitely like the new tech for weight and longevity.
For 10 years i have been very pleased with ryobi. I have restored 4 houses and have only 1 battery fail. I did have the skillsaw start smoking and thought it was toast. with a new sharp blade it has gone on and worked as new. Just built a 10x10 chicken coup off grid and did all the cuts. Dollar for dollar + selection, you can not beat those tools
I have a few corded Ryobi tools for my workshop and I've not been disappointed. Hate when people call them "trash"
People are married to their brands, it's tribalism. Just like people who are Chevy vs dodge fanboys or Xbox vs Playstation.
@@randybobandy9828 Agreed. I think tool fanboys started the whole brand war that we know of today in all other circles. I remember tools snobs well before I do video game and others. Guys and their tools are the original fanboys. It's like watching a bunch of ladies. I can't stand it.
Love this lineup. Great value, sincerely surprised with the quality and capabilities of these new HP+ compacts.
I used Ryobi tools for 20 years while working as an independent contractor and was always happy with them, especially after the introduction of lithium ion technology.
Same here and still am to this day. It's kinda funny that people call them "Homeowner tools," since the majority of what I do with these tools is the stuff that homeowners do with them. I just do it right the first time (and get paid for it). The vast majority of what I do is remodel work. I don't ever need to drive dozens of giant lag bolts through steel embedded concrete (or whatever stress test someone comes up with next). I need tools that cut, drill, drive, etc the things found in homes. My Ryobis handle those tasks all day, every day...at a fraction of the cost of Milwaukee and DeWalt.
I guess That's Why Some
People Call The Color
Radio Active Green.
Some Call Them Lime Or
Neon Green.
In my experience, job site tools tend to go free range at some point in their life no matter how closely you watch ‘em.
Whether they really are migrating to that farm for tools my dad told me about or they are being forcibly “adopted” by someone I don’t know, I just have to assume a certain % of tools will be lost when I leave the shop.
That’s why I keep my more expensive Makita tools captive in my shop, and bring the less expensive Ryobi’s with me when I go out & about. They have more than enough power to get the on-site jobs done at a much less precious price point.
@@Tinkery Ryobi is nice because they don't get stolen as often (Not as much $$$ in pawning them) and it's cheaper to replace when they do.
I have this set, and they do everything I need for around the house. Just bought them this summer.
Hope you are all having a great Thursday evening! Great job, VCG!👍🧰👍
I smashed the like button to start my 7 years of good luck! Thanks Vince...
Bought this set a few weeks back and have really been happy with it.
I love my combo!!!! Thanks to one of your videos it was an easy decision. Thank you very much!!!
I've had a set of compact c3 craftsmans (drill, impact driver, 2 batteries, flashlight, charger, bag) for 5 years. They have never left me wanting, still going strong, even my original 1.5 ah batteries. (C3s are Ryobi)My new compact Ryobi's are in the mail(Same set you have in the vid). I had to have them when homedepot put them out for $139! I love my one+ string trimmer and the 1/2" cordless impact is growing on me.With these new compact HPs Ryobi finally has a set smaller and hopefull lighter then the compact C3s.
In the past six months I've bought six different Ryobi tools. Love them so far.
I bought a Ryobi bandsaw and drill press many moon ago when their color was blue. Although I still use those tools...the quality wasn't very good at all but they were inexpensive for a DIYer. Fast forward 10 years later...I am redoing my basement. I bought a new Ryobi impact driver...had to put in about 300 2x4s framing...and build a bar...and soffit and so on. I figured...for the price...if I burn out the drill...that's fine. However, so far, I have been super impressed by my Ryobi drill. It is now one of my favorite. I love the battery system. It's done everything fantastic and saved my wrist at the same time. Ryobi is much different now than it was 10 years ago. And yes, I love the green color.
I've used ryobi as a contractor for many years love the power on the 3 speed brushless. I also use matabo drills and drivers. Which are much lighter. But they both perform good imo
Thanks Vinnie! I'm just a weekend warrior and invested in the Ryobi for the 18V platform and M12 for compact platform
That’s funny I did the same thing. Beginning wood worker. Milwaukee m12 fuel impact and driver with the ryobi lights, inflator, handheld blower, boom box, scrubber.
Ryobi is boo boo. The box the drills come in are the same color as the tools which drownds out the product. Not the greatest marketing color scheme. They need a color change and they would take off like a rocket.
@@paedahe4975 I’m not looking for a fashion show when I go work. Hope you where joking.
For Christmas 2020 I was lucky to have been gifted the Ryobi One+ hex impact driver and I was absolutely impressed!👌 Sadly 3 months later, it grew legs and I never saw it again. 😢 Fortunately for me, I still had the extra battery with charger and Ryobi green bag and being that I loved it enough I went back a few weeks ago and figured I'd just get another one.. Well, another one I did get! They had upgraded to the HD line, so the choice was clear. I picked up the newer Ryobi One+ HD 18-V Brushless 4-Mode Hex Impact Driver! (tool only) I'll most likely pick up a second battery or more soon. The battery I have now seems to get the job done. I'm impressed with this one as well, like with the old version I had. This one is just staying within eyes sight. This makes item #3 in the Ryobi family I have purchased. First up was the Leaf blower (Awesome) and second came the 1600 PSI Pressure washer which does everything I need it to do, as I own my own automotive detailing/light mechanic business as a part time side gig for now. Love green and just so happened to fall in love e with the Ryobi brand. Perfect match for me and my needs! Thanks for the videos! 👍
I just bought that exact combo from Home Depot ,i was just walking around on December and they had a deal on it , it honestly motivates me to build stuff and do more ,can’t wait to get more tool
I love my ryobi tools. I have some that’s lasted over 10 years. Stay green! Looks better
Wfe bought me Ryobi tool set in 1995, every tool still works! I am a firm believer in Ryobi!
That's impressive
@@tomruth9487 of course I'm onto new batteries, but drill, sawzall, skill saw and battery have seen a lot of use!
I have never been a Ryobi tools fan, I run Ridgid and mostly Milwaukee now. The only Ryobi tool I have was a corded router and a Ryobi router table. I did get a Ryobi garage door opener when I replaced my old one cuz I love how you can add things onto it, I have the battery backup in mine so if the power goes out it'll still work and the accessories I have on mine are the 30 foot 3 receptical retractable extension cord which is awesome cuz I can get power anywhere in my garage without have to get an extension cord out and then put it back away and the dual laser park assist that let's me know when I've pulled my truck in just right and 2 fans which are a god send in the summer! I never had any of their cordless tools until I saw they have a cordless hot glue gun and I went out and picked it up right away and now that I'm in their platform I'll probably get their battery powered caulk gun, I've always wanted the Milwaukee M18 one but it's a fortune and I don't do enough caulking to justify spending that kind of money on it, even the Milwaukee M12 version is a lot of money but the Ryobi one is affordable, it may not have as many features but for how much less it is that's ok.
Thanks for the info. Nice to know the real low down on these new tools.
I agree Milwaukee has some learning to do! As of late my Ridgid Impact Collet failed, smh.
I have Ryobi tools. I purchased from Home Depot, the water proof cleaner. I ❤❤❤❤ love it. I love all Ryobi cordless tools.
I started out on Ryobi tools. Great tools for beginners who don’t have a lot of $$$
Same here, I jumped on the Milwaukee train a little while ago though.
Same here. Upgraded to the smaller batteries & Ryobi One. Only need my tools occasionally. Gears failed on the drill motor. Drive mechanism on the hedge trimmer attachment failed. Miter saw blade won't stay tight on the arbor. Depth stop broke on the Drill Press. Weed eater attachment died. Contacts on the 40 Volt battery fried on the drive head.
Nearly every Ryobi tool needs to be replaced. "Ya gets what ya pays for." Moving to Milwaukee, too.
Are the Lion batteries compatible?
In Europe Ryobi is the same price as Makita and DeWalt.
@@michaelandrejczuk803 like wise
Many years ago, that was true. But everything I have been reading recently has Ryobi really stepping up it's game. Most tools are considered "prosumer" and some are even dipping into the pro market. They have become legitimate competition for Dewalt and Makita and the like but at a significant savings.
Ive been using ryobi cordless stuff for close to 7 years. Turms out its all great stuff for camping and touring/overlanding.
“Move up range” you wish Milwaukee had it 😂😂
I have the OLD blue Ryobi 18v drill, it's a beast to use and plan on upgrading soon. But recently bought a newer batter and was really impressed with it. I really like the green over the old Blue color.
Would love to see the new stuff go up against the contractor grade.
Hey, the packout with all three boxes is 199 at ACE hardware in Michigan through the end of November.
Love the new RYOBI HPs. Very nice
Got a set this week and love them. Color is great and size and weight are awesome.
I just got these and love them. I do most everything I need done around the house plus I started doing a little wood working... Can't say enough about these! and $99! Yeah!
You sure it's the brushless set for $99?
I’ve been happy with my ryobitools. One failure was a brushless drill that just grinded itself to a halt and one complaint and it’s pretty much consistent with both of the brushlesss drivers. The chuck opens and drops a hex head bit and also locks it stuck. I have around a dozen tools in the 18v and to be honest I use the drill a lot so I’m tempted to switch brands because of it. There is nothing quite like the sound of a 6 inch hex head driver bit hitting a customers nice tile floor from ladder height and I’m tired if it.
AEG does the same
Other makes do it including my Bosch. Very annoying when you are up a ladder or scaffolding, over a weedy garden .
I’ve got my Ryobi driver impact very hot befor taking apart an old engine as fast as I could but it’s never had a single problem with it over heating or anything’s
I still have ryobi blue tools 15+ years a solid DIY tool! I've up dated to milwaukee 12v fuel tools just love them lightweight and plenty powerful if you have the right battery's, the 18v milwaukee fuel tools are beasts
Bought the tool kit with free tool bag the circular saw and driver drill both caught fire on separate occasions not a fan of they’re tools but the weed whip holds up pretty well for my lawn
Ryobi ain't what they use to be but in a good way. They keep suprising me. I have been test them in a commercial hvac world. I don't worry as much about them walking away while my back is turned, like my Milwaukee tools do. No one trys to take my batteries, maybe because no one has ryobi on site. Everyone makes fun of it but it always gets the job done. Never left wanting more power. Ryobi = AWESOME for the price!
Bought the Ryobi HP 8 piece tool kit and also a Brad nailer. I love them for just home use! getting more to complete the set in the future!
I Just Bought A Right Angle Drill
I Haven't Used Yet But I'll Be Glad I Have It
When Ever I Plan On Using It For 1 Of My Projects.
My wife bought me the Ryobi 8 piece kit with bag and it's amazing!
VCG construction Vince ultimate cordless Ryobi vs Ridgid vs craftsman smack down. Raw tool test !!
I want to see this
RTT all the way
I'd like to see this.
I have Rigid and Ryobi both are goid Rigid has a lifetime Warranty Ryobi has a load of tools and some batteries are not good some are the Hp ones.
love ryobi, good product. my first drill kit was a ryobi in 2003, and the colors were blue/grey then.
That dual ball bearing retention needs to make it's way up to Milwaukee I mean up to the contractor grade tool companies
I am a residential maintenance person and my tools are ryobi for what I pay and value I get I cannot complain I still have some of the old blue ones and they still work just smoked my blue reciprocating saw after years of use found another blue one for $20 at a pawn shop not hardly a scratch on it so I will take my chances with it
at least we know what will be on TTR tonight 😁
my ryobi half inch impact wrench is one of the best tools i have ever owned.
Held these today at the HD. They felt great and I just may have to add them to my Ryobi arsenal.
I would like to see these match up against the Makita sub-compacts. The specs are similar and should make up for a battle.
I'm a black 'n yellow guy, but I gotta say, Ryobi has definitely stepped up the last few years. If you look at their entire product line, I'm pretty sure they have more cordless tools than any other company. They've got so much shit.
I have a mix of Ryobi and Dewalt. Most of my Ryobi stuff is all HP brushless - and the quality of those tools is pretty on par with most of the major brands - jigsaw, recip saw, drill, impacts, multi-tool, brad nailer, and a couple others. Even the miter saw I have, Ryobi, is pretty nice.
But the few Dewalts I have that I prefer over Ryobi are the routers, table saw, sanders and I have a couple Dewalt drills I really like.
Most of my work is just DIY projects - so the Ryobi preform very well for the minor demands I have
I like when he said he hopes the 2 bearing collet would move up range he was referring to Milwaukee's kind of crappy gen 3 impact collet that lets go when your pulling against it
I’m a flooring contractor and own a business and all
I use is ryobi except my m fuel 18 10”miter saw and they work just fine never a issue at all for my needs
Love my ryobi cordless 10inch sliding miter saw
also flooring contractor, also all ryobi, but i DO have the ryobi 12 compound miter saw. works great. The 12 is nice because you can cut 2x4 on side or cut 4x4 out right.
I like the green. So far they do what I need done, but just around the house stuff. I trust VCG judgment on tools you test and how you grade them. You guys use the tools every day.
Vince I really enjoy watching your videos. I think they are very informative. Just wanted to point out a few typos in the graphics length vs “lenght.”
Same question. I bought this exact drill and was sorely disappointed. But yet I bought a brushless hammer drill that the heavily advertised as brushless that actually has the HP terminals with no mention of it on the packaging nor in the manual.
I switched from ryobi to the brushless makita a few years ago im glad I did
Thanks for the feedback! 👍🏻
I bought Ryobi impact & drill in May, switched to Dewalt in June, and switched to Makita subcompact a few weeks ago. 😅 Size & weight of the tools I decided was really important to me.
Love these new brushless impact and drill, are absolute beasts! Much more power in a smaller lighter package.
I bought the hammer drill and took it back the following day. It felt way too heavy and clunky compared to most makita and dewalt drills tbh
I would really like to see how these compare to the 12V Milwaukee Fuel impact drivers.
I have the 18v one+ hp brushless blower and it has a 4AH battery, can the batteries be swapped between that the the drills? I was kind of hoping that since they are all one+hp products that i could interchange batteries between everything
I am impressed with the weed eater I got recently. It lasts a long time with the 4ah. The best part is the variable speed, you can slow it down in areas the use a lot of string like next to cement or metal fencing. So much easier to maneuver that gas. Replacing the trimmer line is faster and easier than any I've ever used. I was skeptical but now I'm sold. I don't like the color, if anybody wants to steel a Ryobi, you can pick it out in a crowd.
Oh man I got a 40V Brushless one and it's a beast. Will put any gas engine one I've ever had to shame. I'll never need to buy another one.
Been using Ryobi since they were blue and the only place you could get them in America was Aldis grocery store
Love them and have been using for about ten years.
In fact, I have an addiction to all of the additions, new ones, and accessories you can get.
Help !!!
I feel the same. Lol. I started with a combo and not in all in. All the way down to the weedeater and edger.lol. Almost got their zero turn mower. I want to go Dewalt, Makita, Milwaukee etc. But I can't justify that for usec around the house. I've ran them pretty hard too and never had an issue. Battery compatability and price are the main thing for me at this point
I would love to see them go against rigid sub compact line as well as the compact makita line vince @Vcgconstruction
I call the color "Seahawk Green". I presently own Dewalts but as soon as they check out I'm going for Ryobi!
Ryobi the most innovative tool company in the world. The trendsetter for tool features, tool comfort & great customer experience.
Go Hawks!
Very interesting. I enjoy your videos but I am a Makita man. I do not own brushless tools yet. I am still working with my older model tools. They still work great!
If they’re working, keep using them cuz!
I LOVE my Ryobi tools! And the lime green color. I don't like blue :)
Does everyone own ryobi for their home tools? I thought it was just me,mainly because of the battery being swappable with everything. At work I have a combo of makita and milwaukee since they had more available power tool options more suited to what I need them for. But yeah all my home tools besides my drill will be ryobi.
I’ve been thrilled with Ryobi. I bought them as an affordable beginner option into woodworking and home renovation and continue to expand the line years later. It’s unfortunate how swayed some people are by marketing and write off Ryobi due to price (as I almost did)
Same with me. Don’t really get the bashing people do with Ryobi. I’ve owned my sander from there for 5 years still doing great work.
I've had Ryobi for over 10 years when my wife brought home a tub of Ryobi some guy sold her for 20 bucks. They had the old junk Ni cad batteries. I had a Ryobi drill at work for several years. Everybody used it and never a problem. Wish I could afford the brushless tools.
I really like these new tools. I already have milwaukee fuel but I would still like to try them out.
Yes test them against Ridged
Thanks for the review, Is the sound level same or better than quiet strike?
Hey Roybi has been good drill , I’ve used it on construction and maintenance and has never failed on me . Although I have Milwaukee m18 drill fuel but I mostly use ryobi because it has a decent power.
Really like their new line of tools. From drills to the impact trimmers, hedgers and pole saws.
love my ryobi tools, work well and relatively inexpensive.
Yes, some more extensive comparisons to other brands would be nice. I like the comment about that quick insert collet design moving up the food chain. It is stupid not to have this design on all impact tools. Thank you for providing real spec's. The other videos I've seen do the typical - "these are more powerful" or "these are better", or "these last longer" BS descriptions. What I would like to see from you since you have the more professional format is a true breakdown of the design of brushless motors. Everyone seems to just accept that they should be more expensive and they are more powerful. They aren't necessarily either. It all depends on what the manufacturer has done with them. Keep up the good work on our behalf - thanks.
The green still reminds me of the old 'Worx' brand colouring back before Li-ion batteries where the norm.
Some of the pre HP brushless tools have those terminals. It makes zero sense to me as well.
However I believe those extra terminals are just for the new speed control in the HP tools. For the overload/temp/etc protection.
TTR them. Makita would be a good one
I love your presentation ... awesome! It captivated me
I love Ryobi Are use mine all the time to work on cars had no problem
I got the flourescent green brushless Ryobi angle grinder. And cant say I'm impressed. Leaniing on it even a little shuts it down.i also have their blue 18v one plus angle grinder with swiveling base that's real handy in tight spots , it allowed you to change the position of the battery, I wish they would have kept that feature on the brushless.. but hey I ' liked' ' the vid so,
woo hoo! 7 years good luck starting right now !!! (that's forthwith, right? You just unleash it immediately upon receiving the 'like' , no
' covid delay 'nonsense ?
right right Peace!
I got the angle grinder as one of my “ free” tools when I got the new brushless 1/4” impact tool. I’ve used the angle grinder more than the impact. I haven’t had an issue with it stopping on me. I give the tool time to cut and don’t “push” the cutter through the work.
I have used Makita, DeWalt and Milwaukee at work. I use Ryobi at home. Price, performance and range of tools is great.
Front to Back -roger that. Looking forward to your followup post on those instructions😉
JUST BOUGHT THAT SET... so we will see how it works out.
me too
Love the color,love the tools.I have both.
My construction company is split evenly Makita and Ryobi. After working with other contractors who use mainly DeWalt, we will be buying Ryobi tools almost exclusively from this point forward.
The guys that fitted my windows and my conservatory use ryobi and reckon they last well, just as good as the more expensive brands for them.
My wife just purchased this set and I thought okay, she doesn't use these a lot, and she got them for a fairly decent price. Well, I've used them and I gotta say I was very impressed, to say the least. RYOBI used to be very low grade but obviously, they are getting better. I returned my Milwaukee set of the same specs( or close) because they didn't compare by power or battery time. A friend of mine asked if they were made in the U.S., to which I didn't have an answer. I thought they ALL were made in America? He said some are made elsewhere. I haven't tried to research anything yet. I recently found out that REDWING footwear is made in America AND China. I'll be checking out everything I buy a lot closer than I have in the past. Thanx for the vids, keep`em comin.
I started with the blue Ryobi kit over 30 yrs ago and it still works great, I like the new color better.
I like that they all use the same battery. There is only one down side for me which is removeing the battery. arthritis has made that impossible.
That's to bad to hear..
Show us how the Ryobi "AR2047" magnetic bit sleeve designed for the impact driver works... I bought one and am having problems getting it to work properly
So is the front of the impact wrench a plastic housing or a painted aluminum?
Thanks for asking the questions at least about the "HP" tools & the metal contacts? How do the new tools use the now older HP+ batteries with metal contacts. Everyone seems to be guessing/knowing how this works!? I understand these new ones have it built in. It's still confusing....
I had the HF impact driver, powerful, but the handle broke off at the base. Picked up Ryobi at flea market for $10, bare tool, but I had 3 batteries. It works great. Love the color.
HF discontinued it
Love the Ryobi color and plan on getting the new compact impact driver. Go Ryobi!
Should wait to next thanksgiving got a impact with battery and charger, 65 bucks with delivery. Its nice. Every year they have sales, last year got the chainsaw for 50. Works great for light pruning and even tree limbs.
