I just think the color is cool
Yeah I have several Ryobi tools that were given to me. They surprised me ngl, especially the angle grinder.Perfectly fine normie tier around the house brand
>>2972950Green is what you associate with faggy eco shit, it doesn't belong on power tools, makes them look cheap.Now orange and grey I can get behind, looks industrial and tough.
>>2972950Flashlights break. Batteries overheat easily. Circular saw has almost no useful power. Air nailer has safety to disable shot after 3 seconds. Router shuts off from normal resistance to bit. Drills are fine and get the job done. They work
I finally stepped into the battery tool game with one of the $199 Ryobi kits Home Depot had for black Friday. I really can't complain. For hobbyist shit they're great, the impact driver has helped already with a couple fixes on vehicles, the drill seems perfectly adequate, and the tiny ass circular saw was more comfortable that my big corded one for cutting 3/4" cedar. Haven't really had a use for the oscillating tool or reciprocating saw yet, and I've got a ton of flashlights already, but they seem solid enough.
>>2972950>>2972971red (not craftsman or bauer) and yellow are the only options for real men.seems you two underwent gender change operations recently.congratulations.simple as.
>>2972950As good a reason as any.6>>2972971it's radioactive green tho
>>2972950>the color is cool100% useless metric.
>>2972950I bought a table top bandsaw from them. I painted it grey.
>>2972971I like this because they’re easy to see when I leave them somewhere
>>2972950pay a little extra for eGo products. longer battery life is worth it.
>>2972950I find the color to be ugly as fuck, although I do think they're decent tools to have around the house.
I buy prosumer grade because I want my tool to work without paying a fortune for them. DIY grade tools are for people who bought a house and might make a bird feeder one day.
>>2972950perfectly ok tools. I've built a few decks and stuff with ryobi. I prefer my makita tools, but ryobi is fine
