Making Stuff and Breaking Stuff with Al hey the usb rechargeable Klein one is awesome, of course is not as strong as any of those but man I like it more than these 4
I have all these fans for those of you wondering the Milwaukee is the strongest by far but it’s also the loudest while it says it doesn’t have the most cfm I can feel the air movement it creates much farther than any of the others,also the battery does matter,a high output or ridgid octane battery makes the fan stronger
Hey thanks for the feed back, stick around I will being another fan test this time with some new fans, Kobalt, bauer, Craftsman, and maybe a few others. Thanks for watching.
@YoshuaPR Probably the Ryobi. I have the Milwaukee, DeWalt, and Ryobi, and of these three, the Milwaukee comes out on top for strongest fan, DeWalt in second, and Ryobi is dead last.
Good review. I have had the Dewalt fan for almost a year and have used it lightly for car camping, tent, and in the apartment as a personal fan. Nice, solid fan. Thanks for letting us know that it can use a larger battery. Agree that it must come with the electrical cord option. My 2aH battery would last maybe 3 to 4 hours so its nice to have a back up option. Thanks for the video!
My wife and I got 3 of the Dewalt fans around the house. I see them on sale sometimes for roughly 90 bucks, but they are worth it for the convenience. I keep one permanently hanging up in our "sun room" keeping air circulated.
Yeah there great, I use a fan every night, I switch between the dawalt or the ridgid because those are the only ones with the control knob and not the high low, as there are also the quietest. Thanks for watching man
Just bought the dewalt and i fell in love with it and I might buy a flexvolt battery for it. But it has a great cfm and used it for camping and it lasted a good while.
I've had the Ryobi one and it's been great. No issues yet. I believe it's 2 years old now and besides being dirty and scratched to hell , it's I. Great running shape
I don’t have any power in my shed. I use two of the ridgid fans for air flow when I am working in it. I love them. Been using them for years with 5.0 batteries
Just got the dewalt fan even though I’m heavily invested into Milwaukee but the dewalt was $80 with free charger and 3ah battery. Great comparison but I don’t think you mentioned run times. The dewalt says it supposedly runs for 7 hours on max with a 4ah battery which I think is great
Great video bro. Not a huge fan of the volume of the background music but simple and straightforward comparison video. Most of the hate is coming from Milwaukee fanboys who got butt-hurt you don’t like their fan. I have the Milwaukee fan, it does what I need it to do but for the airflow it provides I could have picked up the Ryobi for less money. I will check out that one and the Dewalt and see which one I’ll pick up as a another fan.
Thanks man, I made this video back when I was testing out a few different things experimentin with music and what not, I realized after I posted that the music was too loud. Thinks for watching
I’ve got both.. had Milwaukee first(it is loud) bought Dewalt because of the reviews and guess what! The Milwaukee (at least feels like) it moves more air! Not sure if they changed something in the way they’re manufactured.. or if the Milwaukee is just more concentrated air flow so it “feels” stronger? Maybe mine is defective.. but it is SUPER quiet, decent airflow but at 500 CFM (and $130) against Milwaukee 284 CFM($90) it should be NOTICEABLY stronger!!! And they’re pretty much equal :/ I might ask DeWalt to exchange it. Hopefully they let me, I’ve got the packaging and it’s been used one day.
Okay am I trippin or am I just expecting too much from these jobsite fans? I can’t feel the air flow from my dewalt from more than 10 feet away and too me that just seems like an absolute joke. I’ve never been more disappointed with a purchase. The fan I bought at Home Depot was 89 with no battery and no charger..
Yeah i have no complaints about my Ryobi, I know have 2 of them lol thanks for watching, dont forget ro hit that subscribe button, lots of good stuff coming out 😀😀😀
So you don't like Milwaukee because you need to carry an adapter...you still need to carry a power lead for the rest so if you can misplace the adapter you can misplace power lead just the same lol
Thats funny you say that. mine after about 3 years of everyday use is starting to fail on me. I had to rewire part of it, and now i have to oil the main shaft or is squeaks really bad, I think i am going to make an updated video.
@@BrianHallmond I've got 3 DeWalt fans and tons of DeWalt tools, and a bunch of batteries. The more batteries you have the better. Swap out the batteries, I've got the black slower chargers, which is better for the life of the battery, Fast charging lowers the life expectancy of lithium ion batteries. It lasts all night with at least 4 AH batteries.
I think I'm going for the Ridgid fan. Price and performance and features are good, plus that lifetime warranty. Have you tried the Ridgid Gen5x 18v jobsite blower? It might be the best for its size and battery life is decent to. It looks like a jet turbine from the inside when you remove the nozzle. I think they did some crazy airflow engineering with that one.
I have not tried the Ridgid blower, I was greatly disappointed in the Ryobi jet fan blower one, I felt like the Ridgid was very close to the Ryobi one So I sold all my OPE and am switching over to Green works 60 volt stuff its great and has some power. For a big yard you need something pushing around 550-650 CFM
It's Texas tornado season with imminent power outages. Thinking about getting a ryobi to keep the kiddos cool till power comes back on. Should i purchase my ryobi from Amazon or home depot?
Don't know if you've already made your decision, but Home Depot is having a Ryobi Days deal where you can get two 4ah batteries, a charger, and a bag with a free tool for $99, the fan is one of the options you can choose, so are a variety of lights.
I’m a spec and statistics guy. When you look at the specs, I had to get the dewalt in addition to the Milwaukee I already had. Truth of the matter though, is the Milwaukee always seems to cool me off better. Just telling it like it is. I had become a dewalt guy too. Everything I bought dewalt was either better, or cheaper than Milwaukee. They didn’t win this one.
it is a bummer that the dewalt is now $159 if you want this model with the cord option....total BS to charge so much more just to be able to plug it in , that should be 100% standard on all of them. I just bought the DCE 512b which is battery only and it cost $119 that was as far as I was willing to go for a fan unfortunately and I think I will almost always want to use it with batteries anyway because trying to deal with extension cords for a fan moving from room to room all the time like I do in my line of work is a pain in the butt. I have to have moving air when er I am working so a battery powered fan is the way to go for med, just wish it had a lug in option without spending another 50 bucks . I bought the battery only one and an extra 6 Amp Hour battery for only a little more than what the tool only with the plug in option .
A 9Ah battery fits just fine on the Milwaukee. That's what I use all the time. It doesn't stick out of the bottom in anyway. That fan has been my best camping fan for 2 years now. A total life saver from the Texas heat. As for the AC adapter, I keep the fan in a small plastic stackable bin with the AC adapter and a couple of extra batteries and a charger. Never had a problem with it. But I also never plug it in.
I have to disagree with you on the Milwaukee the the cord that comes with it is great for in home use who want to plug an extension cord in that’s 10 plus feet and when I’m on a job site then I just plug it into a cord or just use the battery
I'm going to pick up the ridgid one asap since I have a few ridgid tools already and the batteries. Never paid attention to it because I seen it took batteries, never new it had a cord attachment, thanks for the information good video. 👌
I own all those fans but the Ridgid. I think your assessment of the other 3 are spot on. Love my Dewalt fan and hate the proprietary plug in on the Milwaukee too! Other then that, the Milwaukee puts out decent air. The Ryobi, like you do, I use it as my go to fan when I might need to beat it up a bit. And you are right, that little cheap Ryobi just keeps on going! Great value for $40. Nice review brother!
Hell yes, I didn't know how bad I wanted to see a video like this until I saw the thumbnail. On a side note you should definitely see if the cfms increase when using the higher end batteries like the Milwaukee high output or the Ridgid octane.
It really comes down to what ecosystem you bought into. I bought into Milwaukee for a reason therefore I have the Milwaukee fan and I am very impressed. I actually use the fan at my house for when the power goes out. I get 17 hours minimum run time out of one battery. Rigid is very hairy homeowner and so is Ryobi. The Milwaukee fan has the AC adapter so you can run it on AC power just like all the rest. I prefer the detachable AC adapter that Milwaukee includes because I don’t want a captive cord on my portable battery fan. The whole point is to be able to run it on battery therefore I want the option to use the cord when I want and therefore I don’t want it to be on the fan all the time because that’s a huge pain in the ass
Umm I'm not sure if your realize this or not, but the 3 fans with the pins on them don't contain power cords that pull out. It is literally just 2 prongs inside that you plug a drop cord into
That's weird that the Milwaukee doesn't have a plug. I'm 100% a Milwaukee guy and actually just bought the Milwaukee, not going to invest extra money in other batteries, but still thats weird
Ledger Williams who buys Makita? Seriously??? I never see their shit on any job site. How do they stay in business? Always on clearance rack in Depot. Not saying they don’t make a descent tool. But never see them in use.
The run time for the milwaukee on high sucks. With a 6ah high output it runs for like 4 and a half hours on high. Some might say that's great but not to me . I hear the dewalt blows more air and has longer run time than the milwaukee. I only use high because here in the bahamas it reaches sometimes nearly 100 degrees on the job
Not trying to be an ass or a part of the grammar police but the title of the video should use "which" not "witch". I was half expecting these jobsite fans to be blowing away a witch shaped drone. (I personally think that would have been an awesome video!) But other than that I have been hoping for a jobsite fan comparison so thank you for a nice, in depth look at it!
I bring my Milwaukee fan with me everyday in my truck to work with a 9.0AH I’m in South Florida brotha! Humidity down here is oppressive! I just bought the Dewalt. I love how it’s quiet but man is it heavy! Don’t have the Rigid or Ryobi. I bought 3 of the Milwaukee fans in 2017 to prep for Hurricane Irma. I don’t know, I actually like the adapter for my Milwaukee because I can use it in my truck with my inverter so I switch between that and my 9.0AH it lasts all week! The 9 fits pretty good. I do agree Milwaukee really needs to update their fan. What do you think about Ryobi’s new air cannon? They really need to drop the price $139 is crazy but people keep buying them Depots down here sell them out quick.
The lowest I have is the 2.0 and it lasted maybe 3-6 hours I cant remember exactly its been a long time since I have use that battery I mostly use the 9.0 witch lasted a couple days. Thanks for watching.
Now the DeWalt is $130 TOOL ONLY.. $318 with charger and battery.. wtf is going on.. I wish I would’ve got one a year ago.. $168 for the Rigid with battery and charger..
If you are watching this video in 2022 or later, be aware that DeWalt replaced the model in the video with the DCE512B, which DOES NOT have a plug-in option. It can only be powered by a battery.
Excellent review. I have Dewalt 20v and Mlwaukee m12 batteries. I do like the cord option, but I also have a soft spot for the m12 lineup. Maybe I'll just wait for a killer deal on one of them.
Fantastic video thank you. Milwaukee clearly needs to revisit their fan iteration. I automatically counted them out because of the power brick for ac power. Perhaps others customers won't though especially those already invested in the m18 platform. I dont like the 3 speed on the milwaukee either when everyone else has potentiometers. Ridgid would seem the winner in terms of value if you want a really good fan. Its very comparable to the dewalt yet much cheaper and lifetime warranty. The ryobi of course is a great budget fan and their batteries are cheaper. Speaking of the ryobi, perhaps while you wait for the makita you might be interested in checking out the artic cove misting fan. It works off of a bucket or garden hose and accepts ryobi batteries.
The handle placement and the switch placement on the Ryobi are bothersome for me. It annoys me to no end that I have to turn the Ryobi around or pick it up to get to the switch in the back. The fan output is also noticeably lower than the rest of the fans.
5:24 anybody who who???? Who who who who who who. To each his own. I love the separate adapter. My work van is so organized maybe that’s because I run my own company, I know where all my shit is all the time and I’m very organized. I love the Milwaukee fan. It is a lifesaver. My personal opinion, rigid is the worst and Ryobi is not far behind. I find the Milwaukee tools to be the most durable over all of them. The problem I have with Dewalt is the rest of their tools just are kind of underwhelming in my opinion. As far as the fan goes, the fan head seems very loose like it won’t stay in place. However, I will give you your props where they’re due, I do like the variable speed controls that the other fans have. That is awesome however that’s also more electronics that might fail on a cheap fan tool only product....
lets see today its finally cooled down its now 80 witch is perfect to me, its been in the high 90's and we have hit a 100 a couple times. witch is crazy for Minnesota.. were do you live again?
The DeWalt fan lasted me all night for 3 days on high with a 9.0ah battery on night jobsite,gotta say that little badboy really lives up to it 's toughness
The USED DeWalt fan is $177 on Amazon right now🤦. This sure is an eye-opener as to how bad prices truly have gone up. It's been 4 yrs since you posted this review video.
A "Frankenstein-Fan" If you could combine/remove the best parts (blades, battery, power cord,etc) -highest CFM -lowest cost -noise not an issue __Since you had all fans at hand... What would your creation be? Thanks
The Makita 18V DCF301Z has more features than the fans shown here, and it also oscillates. It costs more than anything here, but I feel the extra features make up for it.
That Milwaukee is now 3 years older than it’s old ass back when this video was made and they never updated the base to fit 9.0 or the 12.0 HO battery. I own 2 for many years now. Lots of use. They are very durable. If only the batteries would last as long as the fan. I have two partial 9.0 and one 12.0 battery. I’ll be adding a Hercules fan eventually with their low cost batteries and much better warranty. Be interesting if EGO made a fan using their huge batteries as the base. Run time would be extreme. I also use the fan at night in a room. I don’t mind loud though. The white noise helps me sleep. Great review thanks.
I have 2 ryobis fan the hybrid and the non hybrid, i like them because of their size. And I did not payed retail price for them either. The hybrid almost new i got itlike 15 bucks. Right now they are at $49.99 at the depot. But I am eyeballing the dewalt one (99% of my tools are dewalt)
Is any of these rechargeable? I live in Aruba and want to buy a battery operated fan that can last at least 6hours, since power goes out quite often here. The thing is I will have to order a fan from US and I won't be able to find batteries here if it dies out AND it's too expensive to constantly order things to get shipped. So if I can find one that is rechargeable will be great! Eventually I plan to get a generator but it's out of my budget for now.
Making Stuff and Breaking Stuff with Al yes I re watched it I think what I would love is dewalt but they’re so expensive right now. You’re so lucky to get the deal for $99 I’m gonna have to wait for a while I guess if you hear a deal with a complete set let me know 😆 so I can buy one too! Thanks for your review it’s very helpful ❤️
Just wanna double check the Dewalt is just as strong as the others, but it's quiet? The battery is marked for 9 HOURS but you used it for 3 NIGHTS straight without charging? Do you mean you slept with it on all night without charging? I'd like a good fan that has good power and long charge.
@@kennethweast8899 NICE , I use my Ridgid at night its on my night stand to keep me cool and i keep my Ryobi one in the shop !!! I sold the other two...
@@mrsleannejh What do you need a usb port for?? I dont think any of the fans have them. but there are a lot of tools that have them and some of the battery's have them built in to them like the skil 20v battery's.
Doesn't really matter. People are going to go with the battery platform that they've committed to.
I didn't on this one!
Hahaha yes true
Seriously
Some of us are on more than one
Who sticks with one???? You missing out

question!!
on the milwaukee what battery do i need to run on high for 8 hours straight?! im building a swamp cooler for the back of my mini van
They are all the same size. the other companies charge more because it has more plastic
No they're not all the same size
The Ryobi is approximately 14 hours on the old 3ah battery

Runs continuously for 30 hours on low and 15 hours on high with that battery!
Can't really hear with your music bro
Thanks for the feed back, I am just trying out some new stuff.
That's weird that the Milwaukee doesn't have a plug. I'm 100% a Milwaukee guy and actually just bought the Milwaukee, not going to invest extra money in other batteries, but still thats weird
Makita has 5 fans you didn't test
I know I ran out of money lol
Ledger Williams who buys Makita? Seriously??? I never see their shit on any job site. How do they stay in business? Always on clearance rack in Depot. Not saying they don’t make a descent tool. But never see them in use.
The run time for the milwaukee on high sucks. With a 6ah high output it runs for like 4 and a half hours on high. Some might say that's great but not to me . I hear the dewalt blows more air and has longer run time than the milwaukee. I only use high because here in the bahamas it reaches sometimes nearly 100 degrees on the job
I own the Milwaukee fan and love it, but agree that it needs a chord built in!
Right! other than that I like it, I am pretty sure they are coming out with a new one this fall or next year. Thanks for watching.
@@Impact-OG new milwaukee fan? Source? Thanks!
Is it confirmed that they’ll have a new fan this fall?
matt Croteau, agree concerning the cord. We really like the Milwaukee fan. It puts out substantial air and is really rugged.
Not trying to be an ass or a part of the grammar police but the title of the video should use "which" not "witch". I was half expecting these jobsite fans to be blowing away a witch shaped drone. (I personally think that would have been an awesome video!) But other than that I have been hoping for a jobsite fan comparison so thank you for a nice, in depth look at it!
hahahahahah OMG your right or wright lol thanks
Making Stuff and Breaking Stuff with Al *you’re. Goteem again!
I just looked up the rigid that you said was $49, and it was $199 on Amazon 😭
which one blows more air??????
The Milwaukee does, but its also the loudest.. dewalt second, thanks for watching
I bring my Milwaukee fan with me everyday in my truck to work with a 9.0AH I’m in South Florida brotha! Humidity down here is oppressive! I just bought the Dewalt. I love how it’s quiet but man is it heavy! Don’t have the Rigid or Ryobi. I bought 3 of the Milwaukee fans in 2017 to prep for Hurricane Irma. I don’t know, I actually like the adapter for my Milwaukee because I can use it in my truck with my inverter so I switch between that and my 9.0AH it lasts all week! The 9 fits pretty good. I do agree Milwaukee really needs to update their fan. What do you think about Ryobi’s new air cannon? They really need to drop the price $139 is crazy but people keep buying them Depots down here sell them out quick.
toblox drama does your Milwaukee have more airflow than the dewalt? making sure. or I'm looking for around 600cfm.
aaron fuksa the Dewalt definitely has more CFM. If that’s what you’re looking for, then spend the extra money and go with the Dewalt.
how long would the dewalt last with the 1.5Ah battery?
The lowest I have is the 2.0 and it lasted maybe 3-6 hours I cant remember exactly its been a long time since I have use that battery I mostly use the 9.0 witch lasted a couple days.
Thanks for watching.
We should use these right now save ur electricity bill
I use mine every day there great !!
Now the DeWalt is $130 TOOL ONLY.. $318 with charger and battery.. wtf is going on.. I wish I would’ve got one a year ago.. $168 for the Rigid with battery and charger..
I just paid $170 CAD (including tax) for the Milwaukee. Not only expensive, very hard to find.
If you are watching this video in 2022 or later, be aware that DeWalt replaced the model in the video with the DCE512B, which DOES NOT have a plug-in option. It can only be powered by a battery.
The Milwaukee will take a 9.0 just fine
Excellent review. I have Dewalt 20v and Mlwaukee m12 batteries. I do like the cord option, but I also have a soft spot for the m12 lineup. Maybe I'll just wait for a killer deal on one of them.
Fantastic video thank you. Milwaukee clearly needs to revisit their fan iteration. I automatically counted them out because of the power brick for ac power. Perhaps others customers won't though especially those already invested in the m18 platform. I dont like the 3 speed on the milwaukee either when everyone else has potentiometers. Ridgid would seem the winner in terms of value if you want a really good fan. Its very comparable to the dewalt yet much cheaper and lifetime warranty. The ryobi of course is a great budget fan and their batteries are cheaper. Speaking of the ryobi, perhaps while you wait for the makita you might be interested in checking out the artic cove misting fan. It works off of a bucket or garden hose and accepts ryobi batteries.
Makita has 5 fans you didn't test.
Yes you're correct but for one Makita fan is over $100, I ran out of money, but feel free to donate to the channel
This would be a great video if it wasn’t four years old, did it together
All m18 fan guys get the 3D printed cord holder it mounts on the side less than 20 on ebay
Ryobi does the same thing as the other fans, the reason it cost more is because they added more plastic to make It look bigger.
The handle placement and the switch placement on the Ryobi are bothersome for me. It annoys me to no end that I have to turn the Ryobi around or pick it up to get to the switch in the back. The fan output is also noticeably lower than the rest of the fans.
Keep it charged blood or and vein of to in mind.
what about the worx fan. plus you did not mention the size of the fans are they all 9inch fans other wise a good vedio
Yeah I have seen the worx, but I didn't have it at the time of filming. Thanks for watching man
I wish every UA-cam video was this direct and concise.
Mine is craftsman but it’s a mister and a fan so I win. 😂
5:24 anybody who who???? Who who who who who who. To each his own. I love the separate adapter. My work van is so organized maybe that’s because I run my own company, I know where all my shit is all the time and I’m very organized. I love the Milwaukee fan. It is a lifesaver. My personal opinion, rigid is the worst and Ryobi is not far behind. I find the Milwaukee tools to be the most durable over all of them. The problem I have with Dewalt is the rest of their tools just are kind of underwhelming in my opinion. As far as the fan goes, the fan head seems very loose like it won’t stay in place. However, I will give you your props where they’re due, I do like the variable speed controls that the other fans have. That is awesome however that’s also more electronics that might fail on a cheap fan tool only product....
lolz how hot was it in “Sota?” its read 118 F This last friday afternoon
lets see today its finally cooled down its now 80 witch is perfect to me, its been in the high 90's and we have hit a 100 a couple times. witch is crazy for Minnesota.. were do you live again?
I need one of those Dewalt fans. Just because.
I think it's ridiculous that metabo is the only manufacturer that sells a corded ac adapter for their tools.
Right!!!! Thanks for watching man
Good review, solid video, although I would prefer it without the background music.
Thanks man, yeah on this video I was trying music to see how people like it, and most dont hahaha.
thanks for watching man
You should buy new model Ryobi for fair comparison
You mean the big one? I am not paying 140 dollars for a cordless fan thats just crazy!!!!
@@Impact-OG Oh maybe yours is just so beat up I didn't recognize it... :lol:

The DeWalt fan lasted me all night for 3 days on high with a 9.0ah battery on night jobsite,gotta say that little badboy really lives up to it 's toughness
Milwaukee has the best fan period
The only reason I have a fan is for the noise it makes.
The USED DeWalt fan is $177 on Amazon right now🤦. This sure is an eye-opener as to how bad prices truly have gone up. It's been 4 yrs since you posted this review video.
Disappointed in the Milwaukee one.
I get more air from my Milwaukee fan on high than the dewalt on high. I’m pretty disappointed in the dewalt
Chuck Dawg Same here. I’m thinking about returning my Dewalt
No you don't fucking liar all you get is more noise, 500 cfm vs 275cfm
@@loucifer323 Ratings mean nothing.
@@loucifer323 Luscious Lou don't be so cheeky.
A "Frankenstein-Fan" If you could combine/remove the best parts (blades, battery, power cord,etc)
-highest CFM
-lowest cost
-noise not an issue
__Since you had all fans at hand... What would your creation be? Thanks
Nice video man good job, I have the dewalt and like it alot but yes its crazy expensive
I just bought dewalt for $49 at lowes with coupon
Fuck, the music is so unnecessary.
The Makita 18V DCF301Z has more features than the fans shown here, and it also oscillates. It costs more than anything here, but I feel the extra features make up for it.
That Milwaukee is now 3 years older than it’s old ass back when this video was made and they never updated the base to fit 9.0 or the 12.0 HO battery. I own 2 for many years now. Lots of use. They are very durable. If only the batteries would last as long as the fan. I have two partial 9.0 and one 12.0 battery. I’ll be adding a Hercules fan eventually with their low cost batteries and much better warranty. Be interesting if EGO made a fan using their huge batteries as the base. Run time would be extreme. I also use the fan at night in a room. I don’t mind loud though. The white noise helps me sleep. Great review thanks.
I have 2 ryobis fan the hybrid and the non hybrid, i like them because of their size. And I did not payed retail price for them either. The hybrid almost new i got itlike 15 bucks. Right now they are at $49.99 at the depot. But I am eyeballing the dewalt one (99% of my tools are dewalt)
Is any of these rechargeable? I live in Aruba and want to buy a battery operated fan that can last at least 6hours, since power goes out quite often here. The thing is I will have to order a fan from US and I won't be able to find batteries here if it dies out AND it's too expensive to constantly order things to get shipped. So if I can find one that is rechargeable will be great!
Eventually I plan to get a generator but it's out of my budget for now.
So which ones blows stronger air? Which one last long does battery life? I want to get these specs if I buy one. Thank you 😊
Did you not watch it? I go over all the CFM's and the price point on all of them. There all ok, so just go with what battery platform your in.
Making Stuff and Breaking Stuff with Al yes I re watched it I think what I would love is dewalt but they’re so expensive right now. You’re so lucky to get the deal for $99 I’m gonna have to wait for a while I guess if you hear a deal with a complete set let me know 😆 so I can buy one too! Thanks for your review it’s very helpful ❤️
Making Stuff and Breaking Stuff with Al also I have a black decker drill can I use that battery for the dewalt fan?
@@MusicLover-sr5wr no problem, did you check lowes? I know one of the stores just had a deal with the fan and a 3.0 battery and a charger.
Making Stuff and Breaking Stuff with Al I was browsing online didnt see it but I’ll check it again. Thank you
I have a DeWalt, and definitely don't have the luck you all are describing. 6Ah battery gets drained in 2 hours or less...
Just wanna double check the Dewalt is just as strong as the others, but it's quiet?
The battery is marked for 9 HOURS but you used it for 3 NIGHTS straight without charging? Do you mean you slept with it on all night without charging?
I'd like a good fan that has good power and long charge.
Without misters it just blows hot air in az, good for cooking not much else.
Yeah did you see RYobi is coming out with a mister fan??
Yes sir and I have one that the chickens have been using, they like to sit in front of it.
@@kennethweast8899 NICE , I use my Ridgid at night its on my night stand to keep me cool and i keep my Ryobi one in the shop !!! I sold the other two...
I bought the ryobi mister fan. I love ryobi but I took this back. Not very effective unless you sit right in front of it.
Just picked up the Dewalt for $79 at Lowes this morning. Thanks for the info.
I picked up today at 49 with coupon from ebay
seba08724 I picked it up today at a flea market for 35
@@suppaman12 great price but I so think my brothers milwaukee is louder but give more air
seba08724 I agree!
Dude slow down you moving at a 100mph,, let me get couple cans of red bull and come back..
8.0mah is perfect
a bit small for a site job..
Materials are important to
Has anyone removed the cover of the Ridgid Hybrid? I don't see screws, but I'm hesitant to pry it off.
How far out does the air go out for them? SO can they be used in living room for projection?
It depends on the fan, the Milwaukee can go maybe 30 feet, the others maybe 20 feet, hey don't forget to subscribe i have tons of videos coming out
Making Stuff and Breaking Stuff with Al thanks Al!!
Making Stuff and Breaking Stuff with Al oh also do you know of any that have USB port?
@@mrsleannejh What do you need a usb port for?? I dont think any of the fans have them. but there are a lot of tools that have them and some of the battery's have them built in to them like the skil 20v battery's.
On a plus Note for the milwaukee, with the Ac port you can actually use a larger battery with the Top attachment that turn it into usb / Ac/dc port.
