Kato Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 Most of the Ryobi stuff I have is power tools, so I guess this is where this vid should go. Did a quick run-around to show my Ryobi stuff, and yes I shot it vertical. Oops, sorry... 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dano123 Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 Nice collection. I just bought my step dad a Ryobi 18v one+ combo kit to get him started. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFBush2 Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 Great Video! Thanks for letting us see around your shop. I'm curious about your hanging system for the power tools. Have you made a video or described how you hang your tools that way? I really couldn't make out from the video what was going on there. False Batteries screwed to cabinet?

Kato Posted April 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 I can go out and make a video on how it's done. Basically it's old NiCad batteries that I strip out the battery cells. I then drill a couple of holes in the shelf and drive some drywall screws through and into the battery shell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Glassey Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 Nice videos Kato, I like the hanging system. You definitely have a love for the Ryobi tools lol. Very nice setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regopit Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 Nice collection Kato. I have the same planer and have never had any problems with it. I think that they have stopped making it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dano123 Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 Something tells me you would be the guy to ask which Ryobi 18v tools use the same batteries? Do the older blue tools still work with the 18 one+ batteries? I go to auctions frequently and I would like to pick up tools that work with my step dad's kit.

Kato Posted April 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 All batteries work with all tools, new and old...new tools work with older batteries, new batteries work with older tools. Best part is that if you have older "blue" tools, they will definitely run on new Lithium batteries. This is one of Ryobi's biggest draws...that you never have to worry about switching battery platform like all other brands 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimboS1ice Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 Sweet video, I haven't seen that thickness planer... that still floating around or do they have a updated green version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mondo1310 Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 Nice shop set up Kato. I recently picked up the ryobi sander that TIA reviewed recently and I'm very happy with it. How's that air strike nailer holding up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kato Posted April 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 I don't think they make the thickness planer anymore. It's still on their site but it's not at HD anymore. They might be making a new one, who knows. Sometimes they are really tight-lipped about product coming out so you never know what's up their sleeves. If you were interested in one I'd head over to HD and see if they had any left in stock, they might, and it's a great planer. I have the Ryobi 1/4 sheet sander, this one is the seoncd one after a recall they had. Always liked using it, and never had any problems. I'd like to have an ROS but for now the 1/4 sheet has done fine for me. I have a Skil belt sander that's crazy good, so if I need to remove a lot of surface quick I use that. The AirStrike is doing great, just used it last night. Made a little iPhone holder to mount to a tripod 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 Kato, how is that little stapler? Do you think it would do good for upholstery? Also awesome videos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kato Posted April 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 That's a lot of what I used the stapler for, putting new upholstery on our kitchen chairs, on office chairs, etc.. It takes staples and 18g nails, so it does have some versatility... Edit: Forgot to mention, it runs a lot better with the Lithium batteries versus the NiCads.

Thanks Kato, I'm thinking about doing a chair build (Morris style) and will end up upholstering it myself. I'd like to use something along those lines as opposed to tacking stuff in.

Kato Posted April 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 If you can find that nailer/stapler and have batteries it'll be perfect for stapling upholstery. I'm sure their AirStrike stapler is better but that's gonna be more money. If you only plan to use it randomly then the old "blue" will be a better choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
