Thanks for the review. I recently bought a black and decker battery operated screwdriver. It's light and not incredibly strong but still handy. One thing I can't stand is over driving screws...I prefer them either flush or just counter sunk. It goes into 3 positions. Do you have any reviews for the Hart or "toughest" brand sold by Walmart? I like the fact they are not too heavy but I have not used them yet

We all came here for a pencil sharpener where is it?))

Joke?

I’m just the average homeowner with basic DYI and I own over 40 Ryobi tools and only had an issue with one and Ryobi sent me a completely brand new one.

I've dropped my Ryobi drill from a 20ft high scaffold and it still works. I just had to realign the casing and adjust a couple of little things.

The dolly work bench seems like it could be really useful

If you work with electronics the small screwdriver is amazing. Even professionally. Sometimes the fine touch is exactly what you need. No more broken studs or stripped contacts.

I wish I lived in Arkansas. I am in East Texas, so I hope to potentially come & support channel at the Houston event. Thanks for the Ryobi products videos. They might be considered “low end” products by some content creators, but my husband and I are average homeowner. We have used and steadily increasing our Ryobi products over the last 7-8 years. They have always worked great and are very reliable for the price point. We still in the process for remodeling our 80’s home and will continue to use our Ryobi tools and storage solutions.

Those electric screw drivers are so nice and the Ryobi one looks fantastic. I have SKIL one's and like you said for such small jobs they are great. Painted a room and removed and put back all the outlet and swicth covers with 4v Screwdriver, great for things like that. I have the Ryobi electric string trimmer in the 40v and a bunch of the accessories such as pole saw, small tiller for garden. Mine is not carbon fiber but it's an awesome echo system to be in for outdoor work.

As a normal DIYer Ryobi was my first choice and I continue to buy them. I will say that I also love the M12 Fuel line as well. The Impact, Ratchet, Installation Driver are all very nice.

I got that trimmer and a 600 cfm blower with 1 4ah battery for 199 on a holiday deal and let me tell you it's a dream. Already have the edger, snow shovel, and pole saw. I use a 2ah battery on it because it honestly doesn't need more and the weight savings is huge

Additionally, battery operated yard tools are so easy to store. No need to worry about gas or oil leaking out. They can be tilted, stored upside down or standing vertical.Perfect for the DYI home owner.

I love the folding light. I've got the older version and it's great for power outages, or hanging under the ez up while camping. And, oh yeah, also as a work light.

I've also bought into the Ryobi 40v line in the last couple years. I have the 14" chainsaw. I mostly use it for brush and limb clean up, but I also dropped a tree with it that was 16" at the base. It also has never leaked a drop of bar oil on the ground. The string trimmer you have, if it says attachment capable you should be able to use any attachments you had for the gas trimmer. I have a hedge trimmer and a brush cutter that are not Ryobi and they pop right on.

Thanks for the video ! I've used Ryobi cordless tools for at least 15 years now. I decided to stick with one brand of battery so I didn't have to spend so much to have several high amp batteries to use for all my cordless tools. I'm still using all three of the old blue Ryobi's that came with Ni-Cads but work fine with lithium batteries. I've been happy with them. I got Ryobi's biggest 18 volt drill to spin the auger I use ice fishing. It's drilled a 6" hole through 23" of ice in 9 seconds (I didn't believe it myself but I have a video to prove it.) My latest addition to the Ryobi fleet was a cordless shop vac & it's great too ! I don't doubt there are some better cordless tools on the market but I'm not a professional, just a tight-fisted stickler for value.

Just got the 40v 20” mower after our 12 yo Murray bit the dust. #awesome absolutely awesome! I now have 32 tools between the 18 & 40v lines and can’t wait for more.

Thanks for the introduction to the new Ryobi tools Matt. They all look like they have a place in most shops. I just bought a n Ego chainsaw and I seriously love it too. I was so tired of fighting to get my old saw to start. I really like the looks of the fan, and I appreciate your review. I want to commend you for your excellent work. Thorough and honest will always be welcome. Thank you very much Matt! 😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤

I used my Ryobi lithium screwdriver to build/install my entire Ikea kitchen. It did 90% of the cabinets (12 cabinets and 4 pantry cabinets) on a single charge!

The light is great for working on cars, its thin enough to throw underneath a car, and the diffused light wont blind you. Just got the older version on clearance this week

I have the weed trimmer (I live on a 1.2 acre rural property) and LOVE it. My mom has the lawnmower for her urban property and it goes super well for her as well. I'm definitely considering that chainsaw for this summer.

I have the weed eater and it came with a small tiller attachment. I love RYOBI stuff. Their backpack sprayer is awesome!

Great video! On #2 I was waiting for the ‘hang it under the toolbox” like a shop light lol I so want #3 tho,next on the list

I’m on a DeWalt platform, but I’ve had a Ryobi leaf blower and weed wacker combo kit for at least 10 years and they still run strong. The weed wacker isn’t the best, but I’ve used the blower several times a day. I also have the multi tool and the 18 gauge brad nailer which is great, but if I’m putting together a larger project or cabinets, I prefer using an air nailer as I’m no longer a young stud and a battery nailer get heavy using it for a couple three hours. That little screwdriver looks awesome!

Very cool video! I love that little usb screwdriver and the work bench dolly. Both are on my list of next Ryobi buys

Great review. I still have a Ryobi drill that's well over 20 years old and works great.

Great video Brother. 5 more examples of why, even though most of my RYOBI tools are 'old-stuff', they still work, as well as they ever did. RYOBI keeps coming up with the 'new-hotness'. I've leveled up from those tools, but I still have them, cause they were my start.

I thinned out a 100’ tree with the 16” ryobi 40 v chain saw work beautifully

@blauer2551

I’ve been more than satisfied with this chainsaw. I’ve put it to the test and it will handle a 15” tree no problem but that’s about it for the battery. For yard work it’s simply makes trimming a dream.

7:32 When we moved into our new place, I went all electric for yard tools, and all Ryobi. 40v lawn mower, string trimmer, leaf blower, and snow blower. No complaints at all, and the snowblower came with (2) 7.5 amp hour batteries vs the (2) 6.0 amp hour with the mower and the single 4.0 amp hour battery that came with the string trimmer. Everything works great, what's even better is you can buy the different attachments for the string trimmer handle. I've got the edger and the little powered snow shovel attachments, both work great, too. The powered snow shovel is a little heavy, but it is great to clear the back deck or front porch without dragging out the big blower. So easy to manage everything, no gas, no oil or other chemicals, everything works as it should. I even picked up a powered pruner and a powered pruning saw, both also work great. With the 18v hand tools I already have, the air cannon and the work bench will be great additions. Thanks for the reviews!!

I have the 18v string trimmer from about a decade ago; it still works great and I never run out of battery on a 4Ah pack. Where I do have some complaints are with the 40v batteries; it takes me 4Ah packs to get through my front lawn, and I don't have a huge lawn, either (though the grass is quite thick, so that's something); if the battery isn't fully charged when I start, part of the lawn is not getting done.

I’ve had that same string trimmer for 2 years now, along with their brushless blower. Both have been amazing with ZERO problems.

I bought the 8" 18v pole saw and literally ended up cutting 6-8" trees with it since i got a property with a lot of trees growing up and taking over, doing shit i definetly shouldnt do with it but it still came out o top lol.... not the fastest but they really go thru it all and ended up cutting like 12 big ass trees with it... now bought the 18v 12" chainsaw and 2 6ah high performance batteries and some extra chains to keep on going.

I bought both the trimmer and chainsaw last year, great tools for the money.

I have a few ryobi hand tools and I have no complaints

Great video Matt. I think Ryobi has the perfect battery platform to make something like the Milwaukee driver. The way their regular batteries are made would make it so easy to do something like that.

Great video as Always Matt

I got their mist fan and it was a game changer during farmers market season in Arizona 🥵

I've got the old version of the 40v string trimmer, and the current version of the chainsaw. I've had the string trimmer for a few years now and absolutely love it, I'm just never going back to gas for a string trimmer. For the chainsaw, like you, I'm not out logging or clearing land or anything, it's there to clean up storm damage and I got it to get rid of some bushes I don't like. It's perfect for the average homeowner, and honestly, if I was looking to do anything that really needed a bigger chainsaw, I'd probably just be calling a professional tree guy. The 40v hedge trimmer is also super helpful, it makes what was a real chore with my old gas one into something I can just do quick little touch ups every now and then and keep things looking great.

Big fan of the ryobi 40v outdoor tools. I have the chainsaw, polesaw, and hedge trimmer. They are very nice tools.

The Ryobi work light looks pretty nice and the price is very fair so I'll be picking one of those up. Last summer I picked up a 18v Ryobi string trimmer for around $150 and it has worked pretty nicely, with the 4ah battery I can trim my entire yard twice before I need to charge it.

I have an earlier version of the multi-head screwdriver (from before it had the multiple heads in the kit). I bought it for my wife because she doesn't like to use my drivers (not that she can't use them, she just doesn't like the way they feel in her hands). I will say it's better than using a hand tool, but I found the battery life to be kind of short. You can use it to assemble flat-pack (IKEA) furniture, but a desk and return can be enough to kill the battery. I agree that it's great for use around the house, and I find myself using it a lot when I just need to adjust a screw somewhere (like a loose drawer handle). I will say the multi-head kit is nice, and I wish my version had one of those angled heads!

I have Ryobi 40 volt lawnmower, string trimmer, edger, blower, and hedge trimmer. Works great for me. As for my shop it’s all Milwaukee.

I've been using the trimmer for a few years now and other than change the head, it rocks. I have the edging and pole saw attachments and they are worth it. I take care of around an acre with 2 houses and one 4ah battery will usually get all the edging and trimming done. The blower needs it's own, it eats them up.

On the string trimmer, make sure you can get replacement heads! The plastic bump stop wears out and breaks through! My Craftsman weed trimmer is sitting idle because I am having a hard time finding parts! I like the battery stuff! it saves on the early spring refurb on the gas stuff to get them started!

Hey Matt - how about Sarasota (FL) in January? That would be pretty perfect. 😊 I would be so pleased to meet you and tell you how much you have taught and inspired this beginning woodworker.

Ryobi gets hate but they're out there doing the Lord's work lowering that barrier to entry. If I did construction everyday as a day job, sure, I'd upgrade. But for weekend DIY projects they're fantastic. I've remodeled my entire home on Ryobi.

Can you lock the head to finish twisting in a screw? I’ve got an old black and decker I use for small things and you can do a manual lock on it.

All the best with your upcoming public showing & giveaway!

Do you like your Milwaukee installation driver for building furniture and other thing’s around the house instead of the ryobi power screw driver?

I loved Ryobi before i got my first Milwaukee tool and now I just like to have the best tools available so everything i have is Milwaukee, festool or mafell, i do like the look of that fan and the light though

I've had 40 volt trimmer head with trimmer, pole saw, and tiller plus a push mower and a chainsaw for 5 or 6 years now. They work fine but the batteries are very temperature sensitive. Do not leave them in a cold shed during winter.

I have several Ryobi tools plus an electric mower the 40V batteries are awesome also have there leaf blower! 😊

The light is outstanding and it’s brushless.

“If I had flowing locks, it just might blow them off!” 😂 Too funny Matt

Big Ryobi fan! I have a lot of their 18 volt tools and batteries and also have their 40 volt manual push lawn mower. Been looking at the 40 volt weed eater, just might have to get it.

Thank you for all the awesome reviews and the awesome wood work you do and ill see you in Houston Texas when your get there My you have a blessed day

I wish Ryobi would come out with a 12v set, something along the lines of the older NEXTEC line of Craftsman

I wish we could get this Ryobi Speed Bench in Australia!Dang!

I've been picking up the USB lithium line. I do IT work and typically I don't need powerful tools, so the USB lithium has been great for tech stuff. they are releasing a blower in that line that i'm super excited for. Hoping it'll replace canned air dusters. I also have a lot of the 40v stuff that I actually rather enjoy, I got the 40v 14' whisper fan that's been super dope. Take it to job sites when there's no AC.

The thing I like best about my Ryobi tools is the fact that the new battery tech works with my older tools that are 20+yrs old with failing batteries.😊

That tailgate sounds awesome! I wish I was in the US lol! I enjoy your videos man, love from South Africa

The chainsaw is spectacular. I've cut tons with it and it's a champ. So easy to get through logs

Bosch makes a great 12v version of this.. the Bosch GSR12V-140FCB22 Cordless Electric Screwdriver 12V Kit.. it's my go to.. though i am a fan of Ryobi too.. i own about 5 of their tools.. and they all work great..

I could see Ryobi going for the larger woodworking tools( table saws and such) into the 40v line

“This is the fan… very cool…” Dude’s dropping puns without even trying.

I have the ryobi 18 volt chainsaw with the 12 or 14 inch bar, can't remember, and love it.

I usd ryobi all the time. Have many of thier tools, never an issue for any home diy.

The screwdriver kit could be good to start pocket screws in softwoods (from someone who split their small pieces of soft wood while doing a project and almost gave up before adding more glue and clamps). The speed bench is something I'm thinking about investing in instead of making a bench for my small projects I've been getting into.

Looks 2b perfect 4 around the house and delicate work u dont want damaged.

Thanks for the upload

Whoop whoop can’t wait till you come to Houston!

take the work light and rotate the head so you can use both hooks as a long worklight that hangs with both hooks

For anyone needing replacement battery like I was, Bought blower with 4ah battery for same price as battery alone. Wish they made a smaller 40v fan that would run for week :D Hope to see you in Houston when you guys pass thru

8:16 have you used that trimmer yet? I bought one a couple weeks ago and today I set it up and used it, I put in the the head with the two little plastic orange blades and I am right-handed so I stand on the left side of it, as you were doing, I hit a couple little pebbles while I was cutting weeds and it threw one of those pebbles back at me hard enough that my leg was all bloody because it put a gash in my leg. I'll definitely be wearing heavier weight pants next time are you out and use it, which will probably be tomorrow. I'll also be switching out to the string instead of the blades, since I broke one of the blades today. Something you didn't mention about the trimmer is that that one also works with the add-ons can't think what the system is called, in addition to the trimmer head I've got a hedge trimmer head, a 10-in chainsaw, a cultivator, and a much larger string trimmer, So that 140 volt motor works for multiple tools.

Almost bought that trimmer but decided to go a little cheaper with one of the 18v trimmers since I had several 18v batteries I already owned. Great for small stuff.

Nice 👍

Only bad thing with the 40V is making sure you don't run it too low, because the battery doesn't want to recharge. And those 40v batteries are not cheap.(posting on fem account)

I live in Shawnee Oklahoma and I can't make it but I would love to meet you and the wife, that would be awesome!!! However, as I am still trying to get my footing in woodworking and build some kind of shop in my driveway so I can work out of it, I do like to watch your videos as well as some others. I'm still planning on starting my own videos on KZread and possibly some other platforms but I'm still a good ways off from doing that. I hope y'all have a safe trip and can't wait to see you in the next one. Happy Building 😁

If you're ever in SC, we have a Woodcraft in Greenville

0:43 The USB batteries, also work is a power bank, they haven't really mentioned that anywhere that I've seen but I've tested it and so for all the ones I've tested do work, there's actually one that I've got that I have not tested that is a two MAH and it does not have the power button to see how will charge it is I don't know if that one will work as a power bank but all the others do.

For various reasons the Ryobi 40V system never really sold in Britain. B&Q (A major established chain in the UK) did try to launch the 40V system years ago, but the timing seems to have failed. Other companies now dominate the rechargeable garden tool market here.

I bought the Ryobi Power Cutter to rid myself of a large amount of cardboard boxen. It's also amazing. Going for the driver next.

I wonder if this screwdriver can do pocket hole screws in plywood or if it’s underpowered for that

Awesome tools Mighty Matt!! Ryobi Ronnie is impressed!!! 😂

i have the ryobi hegh trimmer i like it

I soooo appreciate that you corrected the Ryobi pronounciation. I love Ryobi and Milwaukee (Founded in 1985, Techtronic has evolved into one of the world's leading power equipment companies, owning several brands such as Milwaukee and Ryobi.) Honestly, I just LOVE tools and have passed the love and training on to my 4 adult children-- 2 of each!! Frankly, my "spouse" pailed in comparrison to me in using tools. "HE" doesn't always mean "tool knowledgable" 😂 NOTE TO READERS: TAKE YOUR BATTERIES **OFF** YOUR TOOLS if you won't be using them (not during an active project, but say if not being used in the next 24 hours). Your batteries will last LONGER and your tools benefit as well. Climbing off my soapbox now 😊

Years ago I was an electrician and had a little pocket size screwdriver like the first one with a wire nut spinning tool. Do you know how much my elbows and forearm tendons appreciated that little tool? Is turning one wire nut hard? No. Is turning the 150th wire nut hard? Yes.

Get the 40volt pressure washer it's nice

Come do a tailgate in Denver. 😊

Even haters gotta admit, RYOBI Power Tools are like the underdog that ended up being top dog! 🛠️😄

I LOVE ryobi. That company is doing a great job

I don't support China!

no.1 is very much reminding me of the bosch ixo that is around for literally ever already ... just now a different badge and a swappable battery pulling and pulling? idk bout you but my 2stroke trimmer and saw all start 2nd or 3rd pull from cold storage and 1st pull once they had been running briefly dont even need to get hot for that. and guzzels the same mixture for both tools so use up the leftovers of one in the other...

Personally I like the festool installer drill/driver. The Milwaukee made a great copy though and have tried the ryobi so I can’t knock it till I give it go

Wow, very poor timing for me; I'll be moving on April 27. Sorry to miss the Woodcraft Franklin meet up. Suggest Franklin Chop House (NOT part of the Chop House chain) for dinner one night while you're in town. Great service, good eats.

Wish I could afford to attend. Unfortunately, living in MI without any transportation or extra funds it's a impossibility

Bring it down to Georgia please!

Be looking for you in Houston!

Looks like a good screwdriver but personally I love the No Cry screwdriver it has great torque

At 0:16 where do you get the hard case version of the Milwaukee 4-in-1??

Your reference of keeping your spouse out of your toolbox is comical! My wife has a separate toolbox for her own stuff! My tools have my initials on them, because of working for a living!! Or I have a high visibility paint on most of my stuff! 👍🏼👍🏼

Yes, the RYOBI Multi-Head Screwdriver Kit should keep my spouse out of my "real" tools ;) I think I'll get it for him for _my_ birthday 😁 In all seriousness, I have no complaints about Ryobi for what I do - homeowner chores and starting to get serious about woodworking. Right tools for the sorts of jobs and budget I have. In the kitchen I have a lovely Le Creuset dutch oven, but I have a lighter non-premium alternative that gets the job done most of the time too. Right tool, right occasion. Now, about that Speedbench - that could be the right tool for a lot of occasions!

Ryobi and Rigid look similar because they are owned and manufactured by the same Chinese company, Techtronic Industries. Which incidentally also owns and manufactures Milwaukee power tools. That being said. Ryobi tools are affordable and "good enough" tools for the homeowner that wants to do a few DIY projects.

Very funny advertising Ryobi and i saw DeWalt in your video.

I have a ton of different tools. Milwaukee, DeWALT, Festool, RIDGID, Ryobi, Irwin, Makita, etc.

I do like Ryobi keeping their batteries compatible over the years so you can still use Ryobi tools purchased years ago. I hate to throw tools away (yeah, I’m talking to you Bosch) because they periodically decide to discontinue providing batteries, forcing you to buy something new. Ryobi is literally more green (I mean environmental) by not doing this.
