I bought one for attacking the roots of some shrubs/bushes in front of my house. Worked great but my hands were wrecked for a couple days from the few hours of vibrations. If you can get your hands on some pruning blades it will definitely replace that chainsaw for the smaller stuff. I also have a cordless chainsaw that I’m super impressed with too. They aren’t ryobi but a similar brand over here (kobalt)
Believe it or not, WAY safer than trying to cut it using a ladder to get up there. Still, she doesn't use the tractor much at all, so a bit unnerving.
BTDT many times , she got pretty good at it. We have a Moffett and a cage now so much easier.
IKR. What is even stranger is the relentless fixation on this board for this middling player, that he is somehow some kind of diamond in the rough just waiting to breakout. And this in a system that has way too many defensemen as it is, all of them dramatically more talented than this guy. Truly fascinating psychodrama to watch.
I don't think so.
He's not even taking a spot from someone in the minors, because there isn't an AHL team this year. At least some defensive prospects will be in Europe this year anyway, so another body to call up in case flu / Covid hits the team is better than not having a player you can call up.
I think for things that don't require precision, Ryobi is decent. My blower, pressure washer and hedge trimmer (until it died) all worked just fine. Things that require more precision (router, sander, jig saw), they are substandard IMO.
I like Makita as well. I used to belong to a shared workspace so I got to try a lot of different brands over the years. Here's my personal, not so unbiased experience. I haven't OWNED all these tools but in most cases, have used extensively.
No, I thought we were talking about Coghlan. I've come to kind of appreciate Chatfield.
Not getting worked up. I just like pointing out when you make absurd statements like this that aren't based in reality. Once again, you are making it up to say you've seen "A lot" of apologists for him. that's just not happening on this board. A couple? sure, but that's about it.
Only problem with electric tools, once you buy one you kinda have to stick with that brand because of the batteries. I have Rigid tools (drill, grinder, circular saw, etc), then I have 24V Kobalt (hedge trimmer, pole saw, leaf blower). You can't really switch brands unless you want to switch everything as a result. It's kinda why I'm not hopping on EV yet, until the batteries are standardized and the plugs/charging are standardized, you're just a few years from what you have becoming obselete and costing $20k to upgrade/replace. Be nice if we could just make all these batteries universal
That is far more generous to him than I would be. He's not AAAA, he's AAA at best. He's looked utterly incompetent 95% of the time he's been on NHL ice for us. Yeah, he's had a few games where he looked not-incompetent, but Jeff Hamilton had a stretch of a dozen games where he looked like Paul Coffey the same year he bombed out of the league entirely. Any pro can have a good run for a couple games, and even Coghlan's best runs have been replacement level. Guys like McKeown who we were discussing elsewhere are far better. Coghlan is worth less than what we paid for him, and it is utterly baffling to me that we re-signed him even at a hair above minimum.
This should be easy then: name two.
How do you like the pole saw? I have the 24v 12” chainsaw and it kinda rules for my lightweight usage. I’ve been putting off doing my fence line and it’s getting pretty bad these days
Powerhouses with a price tag to match. The reason why my co-worker offloaded his Ryobis on me was that he once watched a maintenance man of our factory use a Milwaukee drill at work. The 230 pound man put his weight on the drill and started pushing it into solid bit of steel and the drill didn't even change its sound. My co-worker was sold on the spot and his days with Ryobi were over.
I work with an engineer who does handy man stuff on the side and a former mechanic and they both try to get me to invest in Milwaukee tools. So I bought a Milwaukee box cutter at Home Depot and sent a text announcing I finally bought some Milwaukee tools followed by the anticlimactic picture of the box cutter. I will say it is a pretty nice box cutter though, I feel like a mid century gangster when I hold the button and sling the blade out.
Unlike some of you I don’t have a penchant for spending all kinds of time sifting through old posts here to dredge them up
LOL so your whole issue is “A lot” vs “A couple”, holy f***ing semantics batman. At least you admit it happened.
Vast majority feel he's at best a #7 and with who we have signed right now, more like an 8 or 9.
I gave away my Ryobi 18V. The motor kept overheating after 5-10 minutes. I saw some hacks that involved cracking the case and installing a fan or a heat sink, but ain't nobody got time for that.
