I'd likely look for a different color but get your point... I have no complaints with the Ryobi tools I have AND USE, but I select them carefully for specific purposes. They are inexpensive relatively speaking, but they are NOT the be all end all... I love them for outdoor stuff like the extension saw, but the last time I needed a hammer drill I used two one yellow and black for one bit and flouresent green for a second bit. Unfortunately, the green one found itself heaved across the lawn about 50 feet after a few minutes and I just changed out bits on the yellow and black... Similar experience with a jigsaw... I got a green one on the shelf if anyone wants it. Oh, the green fan that sprays over the top of an HD bucket on a 100 degree day is the cats meow. The dogs will testify... light duty weedwhacker green all day... Heavy duty stuff, black and yellow 60 volt...
Need advice. I have a 400’ concrete winding drive with a steep section about 50’ with a grade as much as 18.5 degrees. I live in KY with annual snowfall of only 8-10” average snowfall but when it snows, I’m trapped on my hill till it thaws with car at bottom. So, I’m looking at UTV with snow blade or an inline Toro single stage snowblower model#39915. I’d rather go with the blower to save a lot of cash but is my driveway grade too steep. I know this one is electric but I wanted less maintenance. Any advice helps. I’ve never owned or used either by the way. Thanks!
Or get a $20 shovel for light dusting of snow, and a real gas blower that has a recharge time of ~40 seconds when the big snow fall hits or you want to do the Canadian thing and clear the driveway of a neighbor or two and lasts decades instead of needing expensive new batteries in a few years.
Or get he battery powered snowblower that will never fail to start and takes zero maintenance. I can't tell you how many times our neighbors have had to break out the shovel because their gas snow blower wouldn't start whereas our battery unit has never failed us. Ever. We have an 8 year old battery snowblower and the batteries have held up well. We still get over 30 minutes of run time on it.

Got the Single stage few weeks ago. Cant wait to test it out! if it doesn't work can always return to HD.
These snowblowers look great!
We picked up the 24" 2 stage with the wheeled E-shovel bundle deal in September. Very impressive so far.

I have a brand new 22inch that I just took it for our first snowfall and it pushes great but doesn't blow snow at all....any troubleshooting ideas?

That's the neat part of Ryobi. Direct power tools has a branch in Toronto and they're selling refurbished battery in a fraction of the home Depot
