I have Ryobi indoor and outdoor tools, they work great

11/16/21 12:17pm

Contractors use heavier duty cordless tools

11/16/21 1:05pm

Yep, except for the mowers IMO. Everything else is great.

Mine had issues after one week. Took it back and got a Toro.

I don't use the bigger battery powered tools

Do you have this 18v trimmer and blower?

supertux

I bought my Ryobi blower and trimmer a few years ago

11/16/21 1:10pm

Thanks

What about the string trimmer/edger? Or the blower? Do the 18V ryobi versions of those work well? I already have ryobi

supertux

I have both and they’ve been great for me!

DraperCoug22

11/16/21 1:02pm

These?

supertux

Hmm. I did buy the combo pack like that, but they look slightly different.

I don't have the 18v ones, but the 40v trimmer and blower work great. So much better than the old gas ones I had before

How does the battery warranty work? Have you used it?

supertux

11/16/21 12:17pm

I haven’t needed to. Have to register when buying the batteries.

bluecheese

11/16/21 12:20pm

Yup, just register and you get replacement at HD when it fails. It's great.

DeWalt 20V has worked great for me and they have almost every tool imaginable

I use DeWalt but I do a lot of my own framing and construction work.

I don't have a cordless vac

If you're going to buy stuff like this

Shoplifting is OK now so they have to prevent them from walking out the door
