The nailer looks awesome, I really wish Ryobi would make a framing nailer. I'm just curious, can that framing nailer shoot 16 penny nails?

Yeah the light is great. Now that Ryobi is making a 9 mAh battery I can only imagine how long one of these lights can run on one of those.

I wonder if they will now start producing more powerful tools specifically to make use of the bigger batteries. I for one would love to see a heavier duty SDS rotary hammer (preferably the kind that resembles a reciprocating saw), a cordless (or better yet hybrid) 10" (or better yet 12") sliding compound miter saw, and a 7 1/4" circular saw. I also wonder what this means for their 40v tools. I don't know much about batteries so I am not sure of which one has more power between a 2 mAh 40v battery and a 9 mAh 18v battery.

Hello, new to the board and to power tools in general.
It's supposed to be a compromise between a drill and a impact driver?
Love how they don't list torque nor noise levels..
I'm annoyed at the rate at which they release new models. I really want to buy the combo with circ saw, impact driver and drill, but then I realized they are all old and much cooler ones have come out.
I know what you mean. I am considering holding off on the pulse driver because I suspect that they will release a multi-speed one at a later time. It's also why I may be holding off on the stick light, since I assume they will be releasing a hybrid version of that at some point (since it is already available in Australia).
-
Is one clearly better than the other? I am wondering because Ryobi is releasing a pulse driver and I am wondering if I should sell my impact driver to buy it when it comes out.
-
It looks like Ryobi is releasing a pulse driver. I have heard good things about pulse drivers in general, I wonder if I should sell my impact driver and buy this instead.

Definitely get something that has the ability to just chip
The newer Ryobi one has that. I sold my old one in favor of it.
-
I had the older model Ryobi 18v one and it was great. It is two mode (drill and hammer-drill) so no chipping but it is great for drilling through concrete.
-
I use Makita Gold bits and they have worked well for me.

I was trying to think what Ryobi tool would really benefit from a 9ah pack. Right off the top it would be their cordless ope. Still pretty awesome stuff from Ryobi. It might take awhile for it to filter to the USA though Ryobi commands a higher price point out side of the states.
Out of all the tools I own or have owned, the only one I could think of would be the SDS rotary hammer. I used one to drill about 20 holes 6" deep each through solid concrete and it took two 4 ah batteries to do it.

What diameter is that sliding compound miter saw?

Blade it Europe is easy the go and get but you can stick a 7 inch in it
You can? I guess the arbor size is the same 5/8".

That's 8 1/2" for those of us in 'murica.
When it comes out in America I would highly recommend they make it either 7" or 10". I've seen other 8 1/2" miter saws like the one made by Metabo, but I would avoid it because the unusual blade diameter would make the blade selection very limited.
-
From what I've heard, this is one of the most in demand and difficult to find One+ tool. Why they never released a newer version of it is beyond me. If I was them I would just make the Milwaukee one but replace the red and black housing with a lime and charcoal one since Milwaukee and Ryobi are made by the same company anyway. If they did that, and better yet; made it a dual power tool I would buy it as soon as the money became available.

TIA has kind of proven by now that when it comes to the cordless line, Ego is kind of the way to go, I mean, who doesn't like the idea of a 56v chainsaw of raw cutting power har har har.
Unless you need an attachment capable trimmer. I was going to go with Ego, but the trimmer not being attachment capable was an issue since I have a lot of high and deep hedges what would require a pole hedge trimmer to trim. That is why I went with Ryobi instead.

We absolutely need to buy a new mower in spring, has our current one died last fall. I just wish the battery powered mowers were self propelled, however we are 98% sure we are buying battery powered mower in spring.
I believe the Ego one is self propelled. To be frank though, most cordless mowers are pretty light so self propulsion is not considered a high priority feature by most manufacturers.

Id totally get one of those Ryobi trimmers if I didnt already have a nice Stihl. My Stihl is not cordless thou so I may have to go look. The perimeter of our front yard has a wall of hedges. Breaking out my extension cord isnt a big deal to me but i trip over the stupid thing often enough to justiify. Althoou the wife would probably get pissed at me lol.
Especially since Stihl cordless OPE costs a fortune.

I would love to see an actual cost comparison to manufacture a gas vs battery vs plugin electric mower.

From what I've heard each one of them has advantages and disadvantages.

Another option is the stihl Kombi-system. You can buy 1 power head and buy each attachment separately. You can get a trimmer, edger, pole saw, blower, cultivator and hedge trimmer. There are one or two others but their not as important IMO. I have the KM-90 power head with the edger and am going to buy the rest of the attachments in the summer. It definetly an option without buying a dedicated unit for each.
Powerhead options:

Attachments:

Many manufacturers have weed whackers that resemble this system. I know for example that Ryobi and Greenworks/Kobolt (from what I heard Kobolt 40 and 80V OPE is just Greenworks OPE with a different color housing) offer such systems.

I have heard good things about all the systems that you are considering. As a warning though, both Dewalt hedge trimmers are not attachment capable. If that is a feature you need (like I do), the Kobolt one is the only one of those three that is. I use Ryobi 40v equipment and I like it a lot. I have the trimmer (which is attachment capable) and hedge trimmer attachment (for high or deep hedges), chainsaw, hedge trimmer, and blower. All of them work well although I would love to replace the blower with the blower/vacuum, sadly that is currently only available in Australia and Europe.

I am amazed that you are limiting yourself to cordless. My first thought when you told me that you had an acre was, thats a lot of yard, a lot to mow with a push mower for one thing, but also asking a lot of a cordless tool to handle. I have seen no pictures of your yard so I can only assume its a finnished yard that is well kept up, and not a rough yard like a field with dips and hills going up and down.
However, I would urge a quality gas powered trimmer from say Husqvarna or Stihl, a backpack leaf blower from Husqvarna or Stihl. Do you have a concrete driveway or pathways that meet up with the yard? If so, I would also urge a gas powered edger as well, brand is less important here as long as its not too cheap of a machine.
However, if you really must go cordless, I really can't recommend anything better then Ego. Ego is the kind of cordless outdoor power equipment. They operate a 56V line for both mowers, and everything in between. I personally think you would get more quality with cordless by going with them, and its who I'd pick if I was switching to cordless.
I do also understand that since you are operating a Dewalt battery platform, your want to stick with Dewalt. I don't necessarily think you will have troubles with Dewalt tools, its just that you might find the power lacking at certain times, such as when your trying to cut down tall grass with the trimmer for example.
Generally I only recommend cordless tools for those who have 1/4 acre or less. But you said you have an acre, so thats a good size yard, and my expert opinion is that you should go with gas powered equipment. Please let us know what you decide.
The only problem with Ego is that unless I am mistaken, they are only sold at The Home Depot and he says there isn't one anywhere close to him.

Tool Fight Jimbo?.......
I would love to see this finishing nailer throw down with with other comparable finish nailers from other brands like Milwaukee, Ridgid and Ryobi. I myself am looking forward to buying the Ryobi (since I am a member of team lime green) 15 ga nailer when the funds become available.

Would it be better to have a 9ah 18v battery or to have a 4ah 36v battery like they use on most OPE?

One issue that I feel plagued Kobolt in the past was the variety of tools. I don't remember them having much more than the basic 5 (circular saw, reciprocating saw, drill, impact driver and light). That is one thing they will have to resolve if they want the 24v line to succeed. One group of tools they should look into is cordless nailers. I feel like those are going to be the next big thing in cordless tools.

I love Ryobi tools, but one of their primary weaknesses is that their kits don't often contain their best tools. I was able to get the 6 1/2" circular saw CPO for about $40, I thought that was a great deal.
