We went full Ryobi three years ago, for absolutely everything and we haven't had a single problem with any of it. Even after my missus lowered her car on the jack on top of the Ryobi torch, still worked fine.
i have one. it does not kill the problem but rather delays it because the growth keeps growing. it is ok for taking dirt of between bricks/pavers ect but not for weeds.
I just bought this tool - does a great job and less messy than wet-washing also, 5 minutes and the wife was fully trained. (Just need a ladies lawn mower now!) c'on Ryobi.
Just by a trimmer. I got Black & Decker 3 in 1 Lawn trimmer and mower and it does it all. I personally dont like buying expensive tools that serve only 1 purpose.
Ryobi just throws a handful of crap at the wall and I love the chaos, every time I walk into Home Depot there is some new weird lime green junk. This is definitely a rental tool, my driveway could use a once over but there isn't enough crud building up that I could justify owning this.
I got my first Ryobi ONE+ 18v tool about a month ago! I got the 2g yard sprayer with backpack holster! And I love it! It's because of there cool one off tools at an affordable price that I love! Really the backpack holster is what sold me! 😂 Now looks like I need this patio brush cleaner too! 😂
You know, I started with DeWalt screw bgun, Milwaukee hammer drill and Makita circular saw, Echo OPE tools and now I only have DeWalt small parts cases, Milwaukee impact bits and sawzall blades and no Makita or Echo anything... Over 40 RYOBI One+ and OPE tools. I replaced only one defective 40 volt battery under warranty after 2 and half years of use and abuse for free ( just a phonecall test required with support). Now they are continually improving I don't see my going back, I'm an advanced DIY person helping family friends here in Puerto Rico since hurricane Maria. 🌴
Watching your review has prompted me to buy the wire brush patio/drive cleaner!!! Thanks so much - I was dithering but you’ve given me the confidence to just go buy it!!!!!! 😅Lizzy B
honestly, i went and got a gas-powered ryobi string trimmer after I found out about the expand it series being that I just got a house with a yard that the last owner left a lot to be desired and their yard tool attachment options have been a lifesaver for me and I have their table saw and plan on adding one of their tool kits to my arsenal soon cause they seem to be a great brand and love to see they are getting more exposure!
Iv been replcing all my dewalt with ryobi few yers ago. After work for years i found forvthe money works just as good. Not complty but good enoough .. i like this thonm of its not expensive. ..
Bought this tool a month ago or so and I have similar gaps in my pavers. I find that it does not clean deep enough to refill with new polymeric sand. It barely cleans tip of the soil and leaves most weed roots in tact. Good at removing moss.
I’m a tool guy, let me be the first to say I’m not impressed with this tool. Like you said, Ryobi makes good tool , I give you that, But this is one I would add to my collection or promote. I thank you for test driving this product.
For someone with 10 pallets of pavers on their property (which isn’t that uncommon) This would take them all day. I’d whip out my surface cleaner and call it an early day.
I am investing in Ryobi for this exact reason, as a handy man u need 2 range of tools, Dewalt, Makita some serious tough tools as your core set and Ryobi for that extra versatility
That's just removing the grout between the pavers and making a perfect place for weeds to grow. If pavers have weeds or moss use wet n forget or bleach water to clean the moss and kill the weeds. Sealing the pavers after polymer grouting is the only way to keep weeds out. Sealing will need to kept up to be effective.
That breaks down over time and needs to be replaced, though. Having an abundance of weeds is an indicator of such. Should not pressure wash patios with flagstone, especially. Should be softwashed because you undermine the base with high pressure. Mortared patios? Sure.
@@betrayalbegetsblood you do realize rigid is basically obsolete when it comes to on the job site or in big box stores or basically anywhere. Ryobi on the other hand are huge and growing by leaps and bounds every year. So I would strongly disagree with you
I buy a few hundred k in tools a year, hilti ridgid, and milwaukee make the highest quality stuff. I doubt anyone who reads this post has more experience with power tool and hand tool brands. I keep 30+ guys and an entire fabrication shop outfitted. The only plus to having Chinese stuff on sight, it will never get stolen....!
Hey is that also a ryobi lawn blower?? Thank you for the time put into this video. I was on the Fence about ryobi but you are spot on with how many new tools they keep bringing out. Now I can finally have a clean patio without busting my back every couple months. Thank you an you just got a new subscriber lol. Keep doing you
Lol. I know when i left the home industry i bought all ryobi now. Wish i did then. Becouse noone would steel them ...if you lose it just buy a new one...
I wanted an electric mower and was like "which brand sells elec. Mowers and has the most compatible tools so I can interchange the batteries?" Ryobi hands down
I recently (seriously-two days ago) got some a few Ryobi 18 volt tools/batteries. That is only because Ridgid doesn't make them. Select nichey stuff for the house. TRZ loves giving angels their wings and VCG likes giving devils their horns!!!! Ridgid Ron
We have a Ryobi riding mower and a push mower and a single string trimmer/edger. The trimmer melts the spool line into a lump. They say you have to constantly spray lubricant to keep it cool. It’s a piece of crap. The other two mowers are great. Love em. This tool looks promising.
That is a pretty cool tool. Now as a Ryobi owner I do see something I would like. I recognize that looks like the same extension thats on my weed whacker and pole saw from them. It would be kinda nice if they would take a multitool type approach to the lawn stuff like that. Like let me buy one handle to rule them all, then flip out weed whacker, saw, and that cool angle grinder on a stick in this video. I do like ryobis normal tools for the most part, but its the tons of yard tools that run on my shop batteries that keep me team green, well and im cheap so thats another very large factor.
Great tool, however creates space between the block paving or slabs which otherwise would have dried kiln sand and now you have more weeds growing unless you seal it back. I would not go that deep with wired brush to clean.
I bought this tool during the summer. My only issue is it's tough to find replacement wheels for the nylon brush style. I've only been able to order them online from Home Depot as they are never in stock!
I remember the old days using a weed wacker to do that they had edger tools they ran an electrical cords I remember using one years ago it was made by Toro you know you had the money or only landscaping Company you had a gas-powered one how time and technology has changed for the homeowner
Are you going to blow it or sweep the mess right back in great idea man you do know that keeping the sand in the blocks keep it from getting lose or loser
personally wouldn't use it on interlocking as its displaces the polimeric sand. however to avoid moss was supposed to have a hydrophobic layer put down before laying the bricks.
Not what I was searching for on UA-cam but glad the algorithm sent me here… HOA is gonna be pissed that I now have this option to keep them from bitching at me for one thing. Lol.
Freaking nass like! An angle grinder on a stick. Brilliant! Tell me, if the wire wheel comes out of the seam, does it damage the pavers and concrete? 🤔
Tip... If you are ready to clean the groves with this cool tool.... Use grey sileconekit in the groves .... And the nasty stuff never growback and it looks nicer to...... 🤔👀🖖
So from Canada I'm thinking I'll watch my wife scrub the cracks with the wire brush on a stick she got from Dollar store for the next lunar cycle and then I'll come home with one of these and be a hero or an asshole if she sees this video ba ha ha
i am sure you have done it already, but if not its smart to fill it in with sand or something afterwards.. the stones will move around if not 😅(Speaking frown own experience)
Here’s a question for you, where can I find a straight 4incn brush to fit my Ryobi 4:5 inch angle grinder, not the cupped kind, just a brush like would come on a bench grinder? 5/8 arbor not the twisted wire, just a straight brush. HD doesn’t have them, or Lowe’s,or Ace, or Amazon!!!!!!!
I am on the ryobi platform and use them for most things until I come across something that needs more power then I get the big guns out.. Sometimes less is more!
How does one change the wire brush wheel? Please can you teach us how to do that? I somehow managed to do it before but I can’t remember which screwdriver head I used! :( And Wilko’s lied to me! 😝 That’s a 37 screwdriver head set I bought from them not 38!

Speaking as a lady, the Ryobi one+ lawn mower IS a ladies’ lawn mower! Lightweight, cute, quiet.
I've used Ryobi for years and think they are some of the best homeowner tools.
This would be good to use if your sealing your asphalt driveway. Good tool to clean the cracks out before sealing
Absolutely 👊💯
Just by a trimmer. I got Black & Decker 3 in 1 Lawn trimmer and mower and it does it all. I personally dont like buying expensive tools that serve only 1 purpose.

Would love to see it test on cleaning grout on floor tile or would it strip it out?
Love your enthusiasm 😂☘️

Not impressed but you would add to your collection? I don't get it
That’s Real Nass Like! A great tool for the money!
Absolutely James!
I like those kinds of ryobi stuff. But as I don't have ryobi where I live, I just use a makita grinder with a wire disc, and it does the same thing.
For someone with 10 pallets of pavers on their property (which isn’t that uncommon) This would take them all day. I’d whip out my surface cleaner and call it an early day.

Very innovative. Ryobi always changing the way you get stuff done
Absolutely brother man John 👊
Super cool, I’m going to buy one. Thanks so much for the review !
Have went ryobi for my out door power. Blower, chainsaw, weed eaters, pole chainsaw for home use good so far!
I actually could have used this 3 days ago. Just did an epoxy garage floor and this would have saved some time.
I have Ryobi drills, driver, circular saw and a bunch of specialty tools. I love them and they stand up just as well as Makita.
It should also shoot a stream of air to blow out all the stuff it loosens up with the brush. That would be real nass like.
That is a great idea snar!!!!!
@@ToolReviewZone How about using a cordless shop vac at the same time?
Sold!!! i just ordered a Ryobi patio cleaner
SOLID REVIEW . just ordered one
That wire brush slicing through that GABBA GOO is real nass like!
Hahaha, slic'en and dic'en R!
They are great at the one off style tools. So great. I say in 2 years they will demolish rigid all together
It's very possible bro. Haven't seen all that much from Ridgid lately
Ridged makes the best HD tools. Junk like this will never replace real tools on a jobsight.
@@betrayalbegetsblood you do realize rigid is basically obsolete when it comes to on the job site or in big box stores or basically anywhere. Ryobi on the other hand are huge and growing by leaps and bounds every year. So I would strongly disagree with you
I am on multi million dollar job sights every day. You are definitely incorrect.
Also, buy American when you can afford it!

I showed up to a jobsite with a Ryobi. I left that day with a severe wedgie and a new nickname.
Hahaha
😂
Lol. I know when i left the home industry i bought all ryobi now. Wish i did then. Becouse noone would steel them ...if you lose it just buy a new one...
LMAO.....I feel ya bro...lol
I use Ryobi on job sites.... But my level of skill speaks for itself. So maybe your wedgies and nicknames come from something else?
I'm pretty hardcore Ridgid and have a few Milwaukee tools. But damn Ryobi has some really good unique tools that get shit done! So i buy them too.
I thought if you dig all the expansion joints out you are allowing water to get under your driveway or sidewalk to cause erosion.
You add more sand
I wanted an electric mower and was like "which brand sells elec. Mowers and has the most compatible tools so I can interchange the batteries?" Ryobi hands down
Now wouldn't it be Nass if it was part of the expansion set of heads for trimmers.
I recently (seriously-two days ago) got some a few Ryobi 18 volt tools/batteries. That is only because Ridgid doesn't make them. Select nichey stuff for the house. TRZ loves giving angels their wings and VCG likes giving devils their horns!!!! Ridgid Ron
There were concerns on the reviews about the brush wearing down and there is no replacement of the brushes when they do.
If that's the case, this tool is useless then.
We have a Ryobi riding mower and a push mower and a single string trimmer/edger. The trimmer melts the spool line into a lump. They say you have to constantly spray lubricant to keep it cool. It’s a piece of crap. The other two mowers are great. Love em. This tool looks promising.
I get a backache every time, I remove the weeds from my patio pavers I’m 70 yrs. old.
Thank you for the video.

You're right, it would be nice.
They do! They have it for gas and battery powered lawn expansion
I appreciated seeing all the camera angles and close-ups, but I would have liked to see how the brush handles weeds in the cracks.
Great tool idea! Thanks for the share my man!
You got it brother 👊
Great video! Love ur enthusiasm
Great tool, however creates space between the block paving or slabs which otherwise would have dried kiln sand and now you have more weeds growing unless you seal it back. I would not go that deep with wired brush to clean.

Harbor Garbage has them cheap.
Amazon has them
Does it work on tile grout? If so, I would definitely buy it.
That would be a really bad idea. This is wayyyyy too aggressive for tile grout !
I definitely need my crack cleaned. Wait, I worded that wrong. Seriously, nice tool. Great idea.
I remember the old days using a weed wacker to do that they had edger tools they ran an electrical cords I remember using one years ago it was made by Toro you know you had the money or only landscaping Company you had a gas-powered one how time and technology has changed for the homeowner
I dunno, I bought the Milwaukee Quik lok. I really would like to see some additional attachments.
How do the scaped clean marks age in the brick edges? Do they fade fairly quick?
Would this be a good foot for roof moss removal? Seems like it could save a lot of energy from scrubbing by hands.
I'm wondering this too. I would be concerned the brush might be too harsh?
Ryobi makes a great blower also
Are you going to blow it or sweep the mess right back in great idea man you do know that keeping the sand in the blocks keep it from getting lose or loser
All good, but how do you change the wire wheel? Any ideas? Not easy without shredding the thread.

Did the wire brush wheel score or leave marks on the pavers?

can you do lawn edge trimming with it or do i have to get a strimmer as well
Would this get rid of weeks in cracks?
i am sure you have done it already, but if not its smart to fill it in with sand or something afterwards.. the stones will move around if not 😅(Speaking frown own experience)
I have this and it's great. Only thing wrong is it's a Ryobi.
Looking at picking one of these up... do you think the 2.0Ah is sufficent for most jobs?
It will donok for small jobs. Won't last very long
Thanks for the video! How would this work on grout? Thanks
Nicely presented the product :D Good job. I liked the product :)
My patio is tumbled concrete (looks like stone) - will this tool eat away at the concrete while cleaning?
I could have bought some merch if I had won the saw. Anyway, my mind is blown, again. Real nice like!
Hahaha, he never claimed the prize bro, so you may still have a chance
@@ToolReviewZone Fingers crossed. Because I am a wild and random guy.
Can you use it on grout??? Change to a plastic brush??
Will it work if I have tons of weeds growing up between the pavers?
yep, I'm gettin' one.
Rybobi is the best for outdoor equipment by far. Other companies make good tools bit they have far less tools.
I might get an adapter now this is enticing me and use my ridgid batteries with some specialty Ryobi tools that I can use
I own a Ryobi tire inflator and hedge trimmer, and no Ryobi batteries. I bought an adapter and use my Makita batteries.
Does it deal with weeds as well as dirt? We have grass clumps, dandelions, etc, as well as the ubiquitous moss.
Here’s a question for you, where can I find a straight 4incn brush to fit my Ryobi 4:5 inch angle grinder, not the cupped kind, just a brush like would come on a bench grinder? 5/8 arbor not the twisted wire, just a straight brush. HD doesn’t have them, or Lowe’s,or Ace, or Amazon!!!!!!!
So satisfying 😂 real nice like 👍
i have grass growing on my asphalt i need a tool to get rid of that grass so it could look cleaner
How do you fill the gaps after clearing them?
Paver sand.
does it damage the pavers?
Could it be used indoors for grout cleaning?
That would be a really bad idea. This is wayyyyy too aggressive for tile grout !
and so water gonna get in between patio cement
I am on the ryobi platform and use them for most things until I come across something that needs more power then I get the big guns out.. Sometimes less is more!
Damn right brother
Ordered!
Will this clean grout?
Is there replacement brush for this thing?
Well...you answered my question. yes you will scratch the pavers
Is that two separate tools at the end of the video, or is the patio sweeper/brush an attachment? Thanks in advance
Yep, I have a video on the brush. It's not so good
How does one change the wire brush wheel? Please can you teach us how to do that? I somehow managed to do it before but I can’t remember which screwdriver head I used! :( And Wilko’s lied to me! 😝 That’s a 37 screwdriver head set I bought from them not 38!
We have 5 ryobi cordless glue guns. their brushless belt sander can also be awesome.
