  1. I can see some demand for some of these tools, but nothing I'm too excited for. Call me back when they release a cordless shop vac or framing nailer. I am still waiting for official confirmation on the 3.0, 6.0 and 9.0 A/hr battery packs that are supposed to be coming out.
  2. That SDS rotary hammer drill looks almost exactly like the original one. I had that and it was great, but I sold it when the new one came out because the original one (like this one) did not have a hammer only mode.
  3. @Bremon Some decisions that companies make are nothing short of baffling to me. It's like how Ryobi has yet to re-release a cordless shop vac despite the obvious demand for one. That is proven by the fact that they made one many years ago. It wasn't particularly successful because the batteries of that time were not nearly as good as they are now. Now that vac, long discontinued and rare is fetching high prices on-line when one appears at all (since Ryobi tools of the past are still compatible with the newest Ryobi batteries). All they would need to do is take the Milwaukee one and change the housing from red and black to lime green and charcoal.
  4. That may be true, but Ryobi has been making some of those "oddball" tools successfully for years and others still haven't. One example is the tire inflator. I have owned it for close to four years now, it has worked great every time I have used it and I really can't see any practical way to make it much better. Thus far, as far as I know; Ryobi is the only company that makes one.
  5. I believe that title belongs to Ryobi who has yet to convert to slide packs (for their 18v tools at least).
  6. Just to add insult to injury, although I guess this makes some sense since Ryobi and Ridgid are owned by the same parent company (TTI). I wonder if Milwaukee (also owned by TTI) will eventually come out with one as well.
  7. Their hammer-drill has had a metal chuck at least since the previous generation. I would know because I own that one.
  8. I can see why they rejected the 2.5 and 5.0 ah batteries since those were barely better than what was already available, but these are a major step up from that. If these don't make it to America in a timely manner, I will not be a happy camper.
  9. I know what you mean, competitors like Greenworks, Ryobi and Echo have had something like that for years. That was the main reason I went with Ryobi 40v over Ego.
  10. Ryobi has come out with a hybrid (meaning it run on mains power or battery) transfer pump. This seems like an interesting device and I can imagine many people finding it useful. I just hope that this is a sign that they will release a hybrid shop vac one day soon, since this isn't all that different from one. This is the link to it on the Home Depot website.
  11. Ryobi has announced an updated spot light. This is the product page for it. Unlike the current version, this one used LEDs and it looks enticing to me especially for the price pictured and if you consider that the similar Dewalt one is half as bright and nearly twice as much.
  12. The only problem I would have with such a saw is the unusual and non standard 5 3/8" blade. I imagine that blades of that size are going to be rare and the variety limited.

    That's one thing I like about Ryobi, they make tools like this that other more well known companies don't.
  14. Who said anything about a converter? Could they not just make a male plug that you can plug the female end of an extension cord into? The picture below shows what I mean on the Ryobi worklight. The left is where you can plug in the female end of an extension cord and the right hole is where the battery goes. I imagine they place the holes next to each other so that only one can be plugged in at a time.
  15. Ryobi is finally releasing a brushless hammer drill. When more info is available on it and when I am healthier financially, I am definitely getting this. My current Ryobi hammer drill is now for sale. I hope this means that they will be releasing the brushless impact driver in the U.S. as well. This is the link for it.
