mig Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 Well I almost missed this little gem. In a small little square on their promotion page is an advert for a brushless belt sander. I have no need for this and don't really know what type of market there is for one. I don't imagine the battery life will be to good to replace a belt sander. There isn't even a product page for it yet. https://www.ryobitools.com/offerings/fallsavings?p=page_4 Ryobi also went on TIA toolathon, and showed all there new end of the year hardware. I don't know why they only showed off the new lights and a sawzall. Why are they not highlighting these unique tools? It seems like they are leading a new 18v platform that no one knows about (hot glue gun, palm router, and belt sander). I'm confused and excited. Hopefully Milwaukee follows suit, I want a 18v nailer that is light and powerful, and I think they are capable of pushing Dewalt and Makita to come out with better tools. I like where these tool platforms are taking wireless, and can't wait to see what the new year has in store for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnarlyCarl Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 Yeah why don't they put it out there a little more. ...?. .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMG Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 Would much rather see a Milwaukee variety at this point. But this is one tool that I have been waiting years for. Ever since being a part of a focus group at the IWF about eight years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The.Handyman Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 Now this is really cool. I don't have a need for it but I can see its value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 Ryobi goes after the diy remodeler market. Refinishing stuff is big with them lets be honest cords are a big pita. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMG Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 Heh, all of my belt sander cords have damage of some type from sanding belts. I can't count the number of times, over the years, this also gouged the material being sanded along with the cord. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
