    .........maybe Dewalt catches up and gets impulse? 

    Based on DeWalts track record, I'd say that's 2-4 years out.... They either innovate with new class products at breakneck speed or drag their asses meeting the competition...

    so I'm motoring thru Home Depot today, minding my own business and came across a deal for some kind of promo free battery crap.......the usual buy a tool get a free battery...well I see they don't have the battery that was free so my thrift mode kicks in ...I say umm ya do you have a free battery if I buy a tool?, knowing they don't the guy says I'll get my manager.....so he comes over and says ya we don't have a battery but go pick a tool of your choice and I will reduce the price by $100 sound ok?.....lol 

    so for $69 I picked this puppy up......

    Good point, pretty much the way I feel about cordless compressors. If I'm going to run an air hose from it does a cord make that much of a difference?

    Ya know, I feel the same way, I kinda get the convenience of a cordless compressor, but I'm not a buyer, admittedly I still think the idea is cool.

    I have those hitachi bits but they sit in the packaging, supposed to be really nice Dan uses them quite a bit

    Got some T25's and love em, probably going to pickup the PH2's soon. They are only like $3.50 a pair at Menards right now.

    I've been running it in small amounts for the past week around my house. It definitely takes some getting used to. The anti drip feature that retracts isn't perfect. I'm running very small beads of caulk along base boards and quarter round and I have to let off the trigger about 12-18" from my stopping point as it still wants to run out. Probably because I cut a pinhole in the tip of the caulk tube. Probably an 1/8" bead. On larger beads, it's perfect.

    It's a little heavy and can wear on you but for intermittent use, it's not bad.

    I also used it to fill the expansion joints in my driveway with self level sealant. Exponentially better than an old squeeze gun. Again, definitely requires different technique. If you try to use it like a traditional caulk gun, you will fail miserably. I recommend getting some cheap tubes of various sealants and do some test runs to see how it handles. Thin, thick. Anything and just mess around. Run tiny beads, medium size and large.

     

     

    That sounds great!  Well my brother bought me the Ryobi brad nailer so that opened the door to a giant can of worms so my brother-in-law then had no problem grabbing the Ryobi caulk gun.... So far a win win in my book.   I've only ran about 6 tubes through it but so far so good, the let off is great, control seems good(I've not used it for trim yet) my only complaint and it's obvious because it's battery powered is the weight and size, but that is easily forgiven.  I cannot compare it to any other battery gun since this is the only one I've ever used but if I could add a little wish list it would be a belt hook, LED and to shave a couple ounces.

    How bright is that light? I'm not a fan of Ryobi but that garage opener has some pretty cool features. I haven't seen them on other openers.

    The light is insanely bright, really fills a room and speads out very well, I used it today as a flashlight and wow.

  19. More new One+ toys from Ryobi

    I was in The DC area and stopped at a random Home Depot on the way home. It was the only one on the shelf. It works well. I would recommend it if you are invested in the platform.

    Went to a few HD's in to Detroit burbs and the sheet sanders where in stock, one had the router (should have snagged that).

  23. Well I'm in the Ryobi family now

    My brother has been having me do some work for him and last visit I fell in love with his Ryobi brad nailer, well this visit he get me one! And an extra 4ah battery too.

    I've been seriously considering Ryobi for some supplements to my Yellow tools, the consideration is over.

    @Jronman I gather that, and that does peak my interest a little but I primarily use 10oz, I'm most interested in hearing about real user experience and not some YouTube reviewer spouting off their impressions never having ran a bead of caulk in there life. I'm going to hop on Ryobi stuff for supplemental tools and would like to get opinions on whether the premium price difference is justified.

    I can't even tolerate Raspberry flavored shit. Anything with a tart type taste is usually a no go for me.

     

    My weird food is garlic. I can eat a clove of raw garlic 

    I'm like that with peach flavoring, I like peaches but the fake flavor suff just turns my stomach!  My wife is the same way with grapes.  Love raspberries and the flavoring though... Mmmmmm blue raspberry slushy!!!!!
