All the Home Despots near me are showing stock on it... $2500 isn't bad for a riding mower a bit of a premium over budget gas models though.

Minor DIY, tap cons in a basement, but on another note I know quite a few guys that use Ryobi, especially guys that have had their trucks broken into, no one wants lime green tools! ha ha Also for chiseling too, if they have that function on the tool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mig Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 Just picked up a sheet sander today. I don't understand why this is not included with the sander, I would rather have this part than the bag. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrosBros82 Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Also, the router looks awesome, especially for that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all seriousness, that seems like a tool you would only use sparingly as a home owner. Drilling holes into brick and concrete walls to hang stuff is something that happens more often than you'd think for those that live in masonry houses. Not so much in the south and MW where everything is made of wood, but the NE has a lot of houses that fit this bill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've updated the product page to say that the adapter isn't included now On a separate note - how'd you get your hands on one? HD.com doesn't even list the P440 and Ryobi still says "coming soon."

I would recommend it if you are invested in the platform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a heads up, that router does not have speed control. This was a deal breaker for me. It also does not come with an edge guide like the ridgid.

I assume that you can't use a big rail and stile set, but you wouldn't do that with a trim router anyway. What sort of use would you use a trim router for that would require a larger bit or a slower speed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lower speeds also give you a lot more control the over the router. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsh942 Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 Full-Size Brushless 7/4" Circular Saw spotted at Bunnings (Australia) today! Have a look at this! $279 (AUD) skin only is rather steep for Ryobi I reckon, the DHS680 is $296 skin only and the FlexVolt is $349. $199 for 2x5.0ah batteries and $100 for a charger you're getting close to $600 for a ryobi tool, I've seen the FlexVolt on special at that price here! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mig Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 For Some reason whenever companies bring there circular saws to the US they always take away dust collection port. I would be willing to pay the (I assume) $150-200 dollars this will cost when or if it comes over if they keep the dust collection port. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are talking about the 24v Kobalt line then there are pros and cons to either. The Kobolt wins mostly in power. Where it loses is in price, variety of tools and the fact that Ryobi is an established brand whereas Kobolt (the 24v line) is relatively new. From what I've seen, people tend to compare Kobalt to Ridgid (where Kobolt often loses). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
