  1. Dewalt and Hitachi also have them. The concensus is generally that cordless tools are better quality than corded now because of the research and competition. In the last 15 years the major companies shave damped their money into cordless and largely neglected many corded tools. So I would suggest buying a cordless one. If you are set on a corded one just search "right angle drill" at home depot or you can even pick up the Harbor Freight corded knee which I think is around 30 bucks.

  2. - Don't buy any 4ah for more than $50 a piece. You can always get 2 for $99 online I believe. 

    - Generally they are sold cheapest in pairs no matter what ah.

    - Need to ever have more than 6 total.  

    - The 6-port charger kit goes on sale every now and then. watch for that as well.

  5. 1) Ryobi cordless is now every bit as good and better than Makita cordless 15 years ago. I have both. I know pros look at Ryobi and think of the the blue plastic versions that could do barely half of what red, yellow, or teal can do. They are right about the old stuff. However the new stuff, produced in the last five years has moved the quality of tool from 40% of the big brand to about 80% the quality and in some cases, like the nailers, fans, and lights are just as good. I prefer Milwuakee and Makita, sonetimes the cost beteeen them and Ryobi isnt justified. 

     

    2) Ryobi is a great compliment line to red, teal, and yellow. Vacs, lights, nailers, glue guns, fans, and others round out people's line-ups well. 

     

    3) The OPE line-up is large and doeant break the bank. They have evey type of OPE need at thrid of the cost of the big boys. Spending 150 per sting trimmer, blower, and hedge trimmers is alot when i can those plus a pole saw, chemical sprayer, and chainsaw for rhe same price.

    I've got the non-fuel version that I imported from Belgium.  I love the offset chuck, but the fit and finish of the tool doesn't quite match up to the Bosch. For example, you can't chain the chucks - i.e. put the offset chuck on after the right angle (at least I don't think you can. Now that I'm typing this, I recall that it didn't look like you could, but I don't recall actually trying to do it and it's too damned cold in the garage to check right now)  The chucks themselves are also a bit fiddly to get on and off and not nearly as smooth. 

    You can chain the chuck. 

     

    That said this appears to have been out for at least 4 years.

    Notice the "coming soon" cordless tools: impact wrench, recip saw, 6 1/2 circular, grinder, jigsaw, light. These will likely come in below the RYOBI price point. the batteries are reasonable as well. These look more promising for the DIYer, cheap worker market.

  8. I have also been looking. I have a couple of questions perhaps the crowd can answer.

     

    I am looking at a multi-split system. Why do some of the systems add up to more than the total BTU and others match it. Example: 32k btu pump will come with three 12k btu units. Why is the total value of the units greater than the pump rating? Does this effect their ability to all run at once? Is there a benefit to get a pump that matches the total of all it's units?

    I used it and it's pretty good. First tip is always fill it just with water only so when you run it, you can check for leaks and tighten what needs tightening. Once you hit the power button it stays on, motor runs continuously. Once adjusted it sprayed out a nice flow. Overall it's pretty good. The only downside is that 1 gallon capacity sure goes quick. Good buy. I'm also wanting the cordless hot glue gun.

    As I stated I experienced the same thing. Which battery did you use? After thinking about it I can't help but wonder if the 4.0ah battery I threw on there caused to work faster than the small black battery that is included in the kit.

    Can you use it for decking stain?

    I have no experience with sprayers for that application. What I can tell you is that most of the working parts are metal with the exception of the hose and the liquid intake stem in the drum. There are some pieces I would remove before using anything tacky. Like a tiny filter on the stem  I have seen others on youtube use pump sprayers for stains and polys, so it seems possible.
