I want more tools... don't need any more batteries! Big Grin

They usually get me every year.
Probably will this year too.

I have one. I like it. How fine a branch will it cut through? As in, how small in diameter? I trim off things that are 1/2 to 1" diameter pretty easily, so long as they're not so flimsy that they flop about.



God bless America.

I guess that won’t work for me. Some of the branches would be better served with the hedge trimmer type tool since they are pencil thin.

I have the pole saw and hedge trimmer. I've used the pole saw on some overgrown grape vines, worked well enough.
I tried to cheap out and use it on a forsythia bush, but ended up buying a hedge trimmer that works so much better.



I shall respect you until you open your mouth, from that point on, you must earn it yourself.

I bought my first Ryobi back in, and I had to think about this, 2004. This was back when they were blue and had NiCad batteries.

All the batteries are gone, replaced by Li-Ion, but I still have every single tool and have added to the set over the years.

Drill, Hammer Drill, Circular Saw, Jig Saw, Reciprocating Saw, Mouse Sander, Orbital Sander, Router, Dust Buster, multiple shop lights, small fan, Misting Fan, and the latest purchase, their Pool Vacuum. I have 7 Li-Ion batteries and a 6 station charger.

I used almost every one of these tools over the COVID break to fix my privacy fence and build a new wooden deck.

For my use, they work great.


Me too. My Drill,and impact driver have been through 2 major remodels plus all the other DIY things I have done over the years.

Thank you for posting I picked up a Hammer Drill and leaf blower!

I picked up the 6 1/2" circular saw. I have a plug in Porter Cable circular that works great, but on smaller jobs the Ryobi will be fine.
Thanks

I picked up a number of nice tools last time they had this, including some of the brushless saws. I never got around to returning the batteries though, so I'm well stocked on unopened Ryobi batteries...... Last time though, you picked the tool and batteries separately, and then it discounted each. It looks like this time, they've just got them packaged together for $99. Can you still return just one item?



"I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don't know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, wind-swept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace, a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity, and if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here." -- Ronald Reagan, Farewell Address, Jan. 11, 1989

In store or online?

In store they are separate, I know online you pick the pair, but I don’t know if the receipt rings separate or not.

I bought three, only kept one set of batteries, returned the other two.





What part of "...Shall not be infringed" don't you understand???

Damn you all. Went into Home Depot for something unrelated and I see a big stack of this deal. I ended up walking out with two batteries, which brings my grand total to nine batteries now. And I got a right angle drill, which I have needed a few times over the years. And then since the fan was on sale from $49 to $39, I grabbed one of those also.

Hell, now that I type this, I suppose I could have bought two more batteries and gotten the fan free? But who needs eleven batteries?
