Christmas Gifts

I had basically given up on cordless tools because of the failure rate over time and the failure of batteries and the fact the inconsistency of tool/battery combinations. A couple of years ago tool companies began using the same battery for different tools. I really didn't know which tools to buy as I really didn't feel like paying the money new tool by tool. I finally came across a bunch of Ryobi tools at a yard sale... 4 drills, hammer drill, impact driver, three circular saws, six batteries, three chargers, dust buster, radio... for $150, so I bought them. They have worked suprisingly well and I have been happy with tool and battery life. I now buy tools at yard sales to upgrade my collection and just finished a job using nothing but the cordless Ryobi tools (I actually used my Dewalt sawsall for some of the work as the battery models don't seem to have the speed control corded models have). I was walking through Home Depot the other day and saw a Ryobi Bluetooth radio and sent the note to Santa. She come through for me!



Looking forward to bustin out the new tool on the next job!

That's all I use. They do the job very well

I have three of the 12v drivers, one for my wife and two for me. I have been breaking down towers mostly. For me they are light weight and strong enough to do the work. Also they are low cost and have had no problems with them.

I'm going to have to check out the radio. Thanks for sharing. Mike

I am using the 18v tools. When I get the shop set up, I will post a pic of the tool collection.

Nice. Do you enjoy photography or are you wanting to try it out? What is it you enjoy photographing?

Ryobi is awesome. I picked up a cordless drill of theirs at a outdoor flea market one time. Best 20 bucks I spent in a long time. Sucker lasted another few years. Only gave it up because I couldn't find batteries for it. It was like parting with an old friend you've shared many a lie..err stories with over a cooler.
