  • Its an evil new world order plot to make sure that we have no tools to rebuild with.
    I know that Ryobi is pretty ordinary when it comes to quality, but this is a new low. Oh - and their 36v lawnmower is built like a Barbie Jeep.
    If you find my videos useful, perhaps you might consider chipping in for some gas money? Im too unwell to work now but I really want to keep bringing you these useful videos www.buymeacoffee.com/tinyhous...

    All my power tools are ryobi and after this video I’m going to check all of them for lubrication, there all ryobi because of price, durability and quality and now I learned ryobi is the same as everything else which is they make stuff to not last a long time so you have to buy it again in couple of years so they can keep making money off of you now I know what to look for in ryobi this video is awesome priceless information

    I used my new Ryobi saws all for the first time, gave my old one to my kid. I was abusing it trying to cut a wall out at the floor, so it got that same wiggle side to side. Now it's my loner tool, don't mind giving it away. I started buying all Harbor freight tools. Mostly all on sell or buy battery and charger and get a free tool. So now I have 2 of everything. Plus about half a dozen Ryobi tools.

    I bought a set of 6 inch long bits because I got tired of having to go for a long screwdriver for the one or two pesky screws the regular bit couldn’t reach. Practically everything manufactured today is made not only to prematurely fail but to be nearly impossible to repair by the average person. I enjoy your videos. Thanks. Mike - USA.

    Lol yes you can change brand. Just buy an adaptor. You snip two wires, terminal them together and voila. Just make sure voltage is the same. I buy high quality batteries but use cheap tools from china because replacement parts are so inexpensive and easy to find (Makita clones). Do a little research, see if it is for you. I have not have had any issues, but yeah, tools from China come with NO lube. So I always open them up and lube them. Takes 30 minutes at the longest, but worth it imo. Thanks for the video and good luck.

    I'm an occasional tool user not a hobbyist or dedicated woodworker and all my power tools are Ryobi. They've never let me down and always worked when I needed them. IF I was into doing heavier work, home renovation, building a deck, making furniture and heavier work like cutting metal I would definitely upgrade to more professional tools but then again. there's the cost that goes with it. You get what you pay for. Your Ryobi looks like it's had more than it's fair share of use and abuse and considering what you're using it for I'd bite the bullet and get a saw that's up to the job.

    I've got one of these saws which is older with the dark blue plastic casing and that saw was factory lubricated with brown grease but it also has an metal cover screwed over the gears that totally encloses the gear train and keeps the grease inside the gearbox doing what it should be doing - Lubricating the gears and bushes ! - Can't understand why they did away with the gear case top cover on the newer light green casing Ryobi reciprocating saws ? - My one is also 18v and uses the same battery my 18v Ryobi circular saw uses...

    Is there a chance there is no lubrication so swarf and metal filings etc do not get stuck in the lubricated parts which in turn could wear out the mechanism even more quickly compared to no lubrication where it filings can work themselves out?

    • @t.h.o.r.
      @t.h.o.r.  11 місяців тому

      Haha- are you working for Ryobi? - I did have those thoughts myself, but if you look at the casting you will see that it was originally designed with four screw holes and a flange to secure a cover over the entire mechanism. that would keep the swarf out. There was no evidence of any swarf anywhere in the unit. Not even stuck to the magnets of the motor.

    I'm a little bit confused. You list your location as NZ. Ryobi offers a 4 year replacement warranty on these tools here (6 if registered). You also have the additional protection of the CGA here which would definitely result in at least a replacement if only a couple of years old. Just take it back to Bunnings and get a replacement or refund. You definitely don't need to buy another one.
