  • @johnfaustus1
    @johnfaustus1 3 роки тому +12

    While disconcerting, that smoke is likely due to the shitty machine/bearing oil used in the reciprocating mechanism and not from the motor or electronics (which you would have smelt, would have been much thicker, and most importantly, the tool would no longer have functioned).
    ---> The question now is, how are you going to replace the oil and grease that was just burnt off?

    Ryobi just doesn’t seem to be able to make a recip saw that will hold together. Before I bit the bullet and went to their red brother I had some Ryobi tools. I had the previous gen brushless recip saw and went through 3 of them in a matter of days and wasn’t pushing them hard just like I don’t think you were. We all know Ryobi doesn’t make tools for pros but some of their tools don’t even seem to stand up for a DIYer. Batteries aside you don’t have to spend THAT much more to get into a pro brand over the Ryobi now. Their brushless tools are creeping up closer to Milwaukee’s price point all the time. Ya, still cheaper, but not by much and when they don’t last which is the better value?
    Great review.

    This is sad and really disappointing. I’ve had great success with the Ryobi brushless line. The only HP tool I’ve bought so far is the new 40V hp chainsaw and it’s incredible. I think their OPE engineering team needs to help out their power tool team. The HP power tools seem to be all looks and less perf than the brushless models. If you compare the previous brushless angle grinder it actually has more rpms than the new HP model, what gives?

    • @WorkshopAddict
      @WorkshopAddict  3 роки тому

      You are correct, sort of, but when your blade wears and you move the shoe out, there would be the same stress on the blade. When you cut nails or lags under a sill, where is the pressure? No matter if you use the shoe or not, the pressure on the blade will be where the item is your cutting and you will never always have the pressure at the shoe. Again, Just me. I know what you are saying, but the tool should have been able to take 5 minutes of that style of cutting.

  • @juicemansam128
    @juicemansam128 3 роки тому +5

    If this model has a similar piston design to the older models, the heat is occurring due to friction at the piston shaft and piston shaft guide. This area is right behind the blade change button. The piston shaft is also rectangular. Think of a 2x4 laying flat and having a forward and backward motion. Eventually the heat can cause the piston shaft to bend due to the added downward pressure when cutting. I fixed a previous model Ryobi recip saw that had an upward bend on the piston shaft. If the shaft orientation were to be vertical, the bent shaft would not have occurred.

    • @informationsponge5697
      @informationsponge5697 Рік тому +1

      Thermal protective sensors are normally placed where atypically demanding work loads are likely to cause equipment failures. In battery-powered tools, two places are top candidates: electric motors & batteries. The general assumption is that the driven mechanism will not produce sufficient heat from even very high work loads to cause equipment failures. The designers could have included a heat sensor in or on the driven mechanism, but that could not be justified because the proper strategy is to design the mechanism so it does not produce device-damaging waste heat, a clear indication of power-transfer inefficiency. Clearly Ryobi has a problem with this tool model's driven mechanism and they should take responsibility by compensating buyers and correcting the design used in future production. Going silent when an already marketed product becomes known to include any significant flaw is not a good strategy toward protecting market brand names.

      @@WorkshopAddict the entire new HP lineup seems to be far crummier than the stuff it replaces. I’m a bit of a Green fanboy, but nearly every release with the pancake motor saw stress failures within their gearboxes/anvils/bearings in moderate use across multiple reviewers, or had safety cutoffs happening too soon to be useful. It’s frustrating as the prior generation all seemed built more than well enough to handle even occasional pro-level use and you’d expect at least parity with that.

    I think you only gave the saw a light working, I have beaten Milwaukee and DeWalt recip saws to the brink of death, I'm talking 6 hours of straight demolition,non stop cutting day after day. And they still worked every time I turned them on or needed to do another demo job. The saws are still working to this day. So if it's smoking let it smoke,push it some more and see what she'll take. If it dies on you take it apart and see what failed it. It's Great seeing the truth with these tools and what they can handle or their flaws and merits.

  • @CrookedSkew

    Ryobi is becoming too hit and miss. I'm not in the construction business but could see myself giving a recip saw more of a hot supper than you did. Ryobi's is simply not fit for purpose. Given the issues we've been seeing with Ryobi, best stay away in general. While I respect the battery compatibility, it's not good enough that some, many or most of the tools are OK. Having both a circular and recip saw fail in such a way is a fundamental issue that should have us questioning whether they even know how to design tools. It doesn't matter what they did the in past as companies are bought and sold all the time and design teams come and go.

    I wonder if they fixed this issue. I have an old ryobi saw and the one handed saw but I'm not a big fan of battery powered Sawzalls. I prefer to use my Dewalt corded one because well it works. I like having battery powered for some things like if I only need to make a couple cuts or in a area where power is either not an option or just to much trouble. Things have come a long way and I'm considering getting one. I mean circular saws or as I still call them skill saws are pretty awesome now days and I rarely use a corded one anymore. The 7¼"brushless skills saw is pretty sweet and works perfect for my needs. Anyway they have a few good deals one batteries and a free tool going on right now and I'm trying to decide which tool I want now lol. I have everything they have to offer except the leaf blower which I prefer gas, the SDS hammer drill which again I prefer corded plus it doesn't have hammer only, the cut off tool which I have the grinder already and not to impressed with it or this which I also wasn't impressed with the videos of blade popping out and burning up what I consider pretty easy. Decisions decisions lol. Not much to choose from lol.

    As a Ryobi fan, I’m not sure that they are made for the contractor that pushes their tools right to the max. I guess some jobs require that, but as these projects are bid, price should include wear and tear. Recip saws are given a hard way to go in the demo process. I like seeing these tools pushed, but in the real world I would try to make as few cuts as possible. I know that Ryobi HP line is pushed to the contractor but I don’t think it’s quite there yet. I enjoyed the video.

    Ryobi has never made a good sawzall -- period. I have the previous brushless and smoked it within one minute while cutting some tree roots, admittedly I was pushing it a bit. Did the same thing with the one-handed Ryobi cutting tree roots. The motor doesn't seem to be the problem, it's the drive train. One good thing is I've never once had a problem with Ryobi batteries but I just hate pulling out extension cords for my Milwaukee and the batteries for my Dewalt are at the end of their lives so I'll just keep using Ole Smoky until it dies.

      Better late than never I guess
      It refers to capacity of charge it will hold, but when you have a higher charge available, the battery will sustain more amps and will give you more raw power. Lithium Ion batteries help fight that but they're not infallible. Much better than the alternative, but they still lessen as the capacity (small battery or battery running low) lowers.
