I already have red and yellow batteries... I don't need green ones. That's a good deal though.
I've been waiting for a good deal on a Milwaukee band saw.
I also saw that home depot has the RIDGID coolers that connects to their mobile tool system. I got the email that said mine had been delivered and is awaiting pick up.
The shelving guy at work has the red handheld bandsaw, it's super nice. I wish ryobi made one.
A cooler though.. that would be awesome.
Stick with Milwaukee and you'll be just fine, I put my tools through hell and they keep purring right along. Not trying to bash Ryobi, just never had good luck with their electric tools.
Guy I work with spent the cash on a Milwaukee hammer drill one morning on our way to install 160ish feet of gutter on a concrete building.
After we left the homeless depot he would not stop gabbing about how great that drill was gonna be and how it was awesome to have a NICE tool to work with Yada Yada yada..
By the end of the day, the hammer settings on our "cheapo" ryobis all still functioned... the same couldnt be said for his holy grail of a Milwaukee
he gets pretty sore whenever I bring it up.
Ryobi seems to be decent quality for the money, just not the best overall quality.
I think all there power tools are still regular old brushed motors. Makes sense though, all their drills I’ve used seems oddly large compared to modern brushless stuff.
As previously mentioned, they do have brushless offerings. Getting a brushless tool usually means having to buy it by itself... it seems like most of their combo kits on the shelf are all "bottom of the barrel" tools. Still more than adequate for a home use type situation.. but not the best for making money with.
The ONLY downside I've noticed between ryobis brushless line VS. The competition is that the ryobi tool is usually bigger and a bit heavier.
I'll happily deal with a tool that's a little bigger to save quite a bit of money.
