Jaybird Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 With Ryobi traditionally being a line for the homeowner or DIYer it seems like they would have a kick ass 12v line. Don't get me wrong, I think some of the Ryobi products are just as good as the big boys but with the price range they try and reach a 12v line just makes sense. Imagine a 12v drill and impact kit similar to Ridgid for about $79. I would absolutely buy one for everyday use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboS1ice Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 They have a small 12v line but never amounted to anything, I think they are a stick pack too but they don't really push themJimbosent from tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaybird Posted January 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 I actually have the TEK4 one they have which is great for very very small jobs. I just think they are missing the boat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 I wish Dewalt had a good 12v line the best 12v is between Bosch and Milwaukee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x1xkodiakx1x Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 i would love to upgrade my 12v tools. some of these companies are taking their sweet stupid time .grrrr. ryobi brushless 12v would be somewhat tempting. maybe. i have given up all hope on 12v brushless from dewalt. if i were to jump ship to milwaukee, it would be because of 12v.

mohawkdec Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 all my 18 volt tools are dewalt, about a year ago i wanted to get into a smaller battery platform because of all the cabinet building we were doing, dewalt had nothing, which i wanted, so i tried milwaukee m12 fuel, and havnt stopped buying yet, they are great little tools Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboS1ice Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 Dewalt could have an awesome 12v line they just don't care about it, they produced 12v lasers and turn around and a year later come out with 20v lasers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffmcmillan Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Homeowners don't care about weight, and five cheap cells with a junk motor will perform on par with three good cells and a high end motor. Three junk cells and a cheap motor isn't good for much besides being cheap. The big deal of Ryobi is that it's cheap, functional tools since people who only care about cheap and not functional can get cheaper versions at harbor freight.
