The cheap dad.
We had one and affectionately named it Mr. Wobbly…
Ryobi is just beginner magic that doesn’t really work no matter which house you’re in. Also, these houses are quite often hereditary. My family is a clan of Makita Warriors.
Ryobi (rightfully) earned a very bad reputation with their older tools. Their old (dark blue) tools are fucking garbage. But they did a rebrand about a decade ago, and the newer green ones are… Not horrible.
They’re not the best on the market, by any metric. But they’re not trying to be. For the average person who only needs a screw gun every week or two at most, they’re perfectly fine. A DeWalt would be overkill for that kind of customer.
If you’re working in construction or building hobby projects and consistently using them every single day, then yeah you’d want to invest in some nicer tools. But for light (or even medium) duty work, Ryobi is a perfectly valid choice. They’re comfortable to hold, have enough power to cut 3/4” plywood or drive a 3” screw, and don’t get bogged down by a ton of bells and whistles, (cough cough DeWalt’s Bluetooth connection in a fucking screw gun cough cough).
Dewalt is not an industry brand anymore. It’s a household brand now.
Where’s the
Fein gang at? (Had to generate the image with AI so don’t look too closely at it, there are some inventive multi-tools combinations…).
That saw looks like it comes straight from an anime… I can see that being someone’s weapon of choice.
Holy crap this is actually a good AI image. These a subtly scary as fuck!
I love the power drillsaw and the handle to nothing
Team no battery. Won’t get sucked into that mild convenience crack. The batteries cost a boatload and die after one or two years. You know it is a scam if the batteries are all proprietary.
