Thanks for the chuckle! The nice thing is, you'll have plenty of light for those 10 minutes, then the hours of regret afterwards. Thank you for watching and commenting.

Thank you for the compliment! I too found this little connector to be a bit of a pain when I first started to use it, since then I have actually grown to really like it, to the point I wouldn't mind having another one for my actual Dremel...I'm sure that is sacrilege though. :) Thanks for watching and commenting.

In the right application it could work great....outside of that application it has serious limitations. Thanks for watching and being a regular commentor!

Thanks for watching and commenting.

Sounds like someone's daddy spoiled em a bit too much

@WonkyHonkey812 Thanks for making me chuckle! :)

@m3rdpwr thank you for the confirmation that we're not the only folks who don't think this is worth it. Hopefully Ryobi sees this and addresses the issues with it. Thank you for watching and commenting!

@@TBKHomeworld I just bought the pen glue gun and I'm probably going to return it before opening it. I have the regular Ryobi glue gun, and I bought this for smaller stuff and less space taken on a desk. But I probably will return it now.

@@m3rdpwr From the way I understand and read the Home Depot return policy (I am assuming that is where you purchased it at) if you open the tool and try it but the tool does not work for you, it has a defect, or you are unsatisfied with it, then you are allowed to return it for 90 days. I've never had an issue returning a tool to Home Depot if it doesn't meet my expectations, however I do not abuse the policy as I want that policy to remain for all of us. With that return policy in-mind I would recommend you at least try it and see if it works for you. You might find the smaller form factor is just what you need and it works well. I have a friend w/this glue tool and they absolutely love it. Let me know if you decide to try it out or not as I'm curious how others feel about it. I'm going to be doing an 18v glue gun test for 3 different versions from Ryobi and I'm curious if I should include this 4v version in there as well.

@@TBKHomeworld The return policy is even better, if you use the home Depot credit card from what they told me. Up to a year I believe. I have the original Ryobi glue gun with just the off on switch. At the same time of buying that Penn glue gun, I also bought the new 18 volt one with the detachable base. That way you're not holding the weight of the battery. I also have I think a 35-year-old Black& Decker one that is similar. You plug it into the wall. It heats up an element and use it at will. I still have it and it works as well. I just a like getting gadgets. Haha

@m3rdpwr I know that feeling, I have a serious problem with tech gadgets...It sure sounds like you have an awesome collection of hot glue guns. I do love my battery powered one but there is something awesome about having an old B&D that is still doing its job! I wonder if I will be saying the same about my Ryobi one 20 or 30 years from now.

Thanks for watching and commenting.

I agree! It is a great little tool for those low light projects, thanks for sharing!

It really does, I am shocked how many posts I see about this in various groups all over the place!

You make a very good point and I completely agree with you on that.

If you have to question if it is a 'bazinga' then I'm pretty sure that officially makes it very un-bazinga. TY for watching.

Thanks, I really try my best to provide value for my viewers. I too really love Ryobi tools and I'm impressed with the vast majority for the price. Thanks for watching and commenting.

I completely agree! At $30 this would be a great purchase, especially for a WFH desk area. However, imho it wouldn't do very good at cleaning a keyboard as the suction with the crevis tool is not high enough. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Good idea, thank you for sharing it.

I completely agree!

I knew there was a great reason for that little area, I hope it keeps my 10mm safe and secure! Thanks for sharing your experience with it and watching.

Best comment of the week, thanks for the laugh! Unfortunately it has been forgotten but there still might be one at a local HF....the worst that happens is you walk out with another tool you didn't really need. :D Thanks for watching and investigating.

@ It gets even better! I decided to go over to my local HF, and I walked to where they historically have been shelved, and lo! One box was there, with its end flap torn and leaning against the steel! I scooped it up like it was a 1980 Cabbage Patch Doll! So tonight, I got the last one at my local store. But by the end of the week, the story I will tell is that I got the last one in Pennsylvania, perhaps even in the Mid-Atlantic Region! All thanks to you and your timely and convincing video! Thank You!

It does indeed! In the long form video I go into that exact feature, it is awesome and makes it really nice to turn it off. Thanks for watching and asking a great question.

Congrats, that is awesome!! There was two at my store, I left one for the next person who needed it. I am thinking I should have picked up both and done a give away of the second one....hindsight, eh? Thanks for watching and commenting.

In that case I would align more with the Mennonites. :-) Although, I really would love to film with som Amish and go drifting a buggy during the winter with them!

I thought it was hilarious when Opus generated that, so much so I just had to leave it in. AI generated images/video really are pretty amazing, constantly messing up on the spelling of words and the messing up of fingers always cracks me up. Be sure to watch out for your local Honme Deot truck! :D

I don't ask anyone to work on my stuff, I work on it myself. I have the skills, tools, and ability to do it all, from laying concrete to working on a multi-floor high rise and walking the steel. However, some folks aren't able to do stuff and I do agree that many folks want to pay far less than the value of the project itself. On the same note I do know that many overcharge for their work and will even mislead what needs to be done; I have seen this practice first-hand. The color of the tool doesn't matter, it is the person's ability to use it or desire to learn how to use it. I would rather teach someone who owns Hyper Tough, Ryobi, or Bauer tools to do a job than someone with yellow or red with an attitude. Hopefully you are able to find someone who is able to be trained and you can share your knowledge with them. Thanks for watching.

@TBKHomeworld Ryobi tools are pretty bad man we had a rule that you couldn't even use it when we were doing construction cuz they kept breaking all the time if we see your new guy with them they told me they got to go home I'd rather have no tools they don't have the torque

It has been removed from the website and you cannot trust asking anyone at Harbor Freight if they even have one in their store. If you have a HF local then you can go look and see if they have one left, mine was hidden behind some of their shop stool boxes, YMMV. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@TBKHomeworld definitely gunna have to poke around there 👍

I seriously thought about buying two just for that joke....but I opted to not do it. However, if someone in my family purcahses one for themselves then I'll do a short! Thanks for watching and commenting.

I was thinking that too!!! I think I love you...

Thanks for watching and get well soon.

Awesome! You were smart and purchased it early on, I wish I had known about it when it first came out, it's really handy.

Erm, your not sigma.

Thanks for your feedback. Historically my videos without the memes have a very swift drop-off on viewership, having the memes grabs the attention of certain viewers and they appreciate the content. Others do not like them but for those folks they can just press on their phone or spacebar and it will speed up the memes to 2X. I've considered doing Patreon and having the videos there with zero memes for those who prefer it that way. Everyone has their opinions on the videos, including how much they hate on me for having Ryobi, or the memes, or I'm being stupid, etc. “You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time.” ~John Lydgate

@aaadamt964 Funny you mention that HF employees didn't know about it, I had asked my HF place a couple of times about this little gem and they told me they didn't have it at all. I find it hilarious that it was sitting there on an unmarked shelf, it just required some digging to find it. I too love the little creeper and I feel very lucky to have found one of the last ones at my HF. It was because of posts like yours on FB that I even knew this thing existed, so keep up the great work on sharing smart/awesome tools!

@TBKHomeworld even the manager said they didn't have anything like it. They were all surprised when I took it up front. I had to show them where I found it. I've had a ton of people ask me about it. It sucks they're getting rid of it.

I'm not being fussy about a product, I am showing that it has a very specific problem with the shutoff. The testing, while exaggerated, is specifically designed to show that it has really great torque behind it and it is effective in doing that without showing raw numbers from test device. The items I am describe can be included for not much extra money and would make the tool much more usable. There are other brands out there doing similar for less, like Bauer. Thanks for watching.

Boxes work too, i've even done old oil drain pans....but the wheels on here make it nice. :)

You cannot change the brushes on this like most older tools made now, so once the brushes go out it you would need to buy either a replacement motor (can be found on several parts websites for Ryobi tools) or purchase a new one. The entire industry has moved away from tools where you can change the brushes and are sealed units. You can technically still disassemble /most\ motors and replace the brushes and I would still encourage anyone with enough desire/skills to give it a shot. Thanks for watching and asking a great question!

@@TBKHomeworld Thanks so much for the quick and helpful response, really appreciate it. The constant move towards planned obsolescence is infuriating. Fortunately, there are still many rotary tools that have easily replaceable brushes. Thanks again.

Indeed!

it certainly is not a 'need' tool....but it is a very helpful tool and can just make your life bit easier when you're under a car that's on jack stands. I'm all about making my life easier at this point....life is too short to be hunting for the dang 10mm that rolled away. Thanks for watching and commenting!

That is a perfect use-case for this awesome lil' tool, glad it's working out for you! Our most-used 4V USB tool are the flashlights but this is certainly going through some serious paces lately. Thanks for watching.

Yep, that's me-master of power tools and the dark arts of DIY! I don't just screw things up, I reinvent them. Bow before my cordless wrath!

Better check with your older self then and confirm if you should even be on the internet.

We like it a lot and we've been using it on all sorts of things. Thanks for watching.

I have not used the Milwaukee version of this tool so I cannot say one way or the other. However, TTI is the parent company of both and usually Ryobi ends up inherriting things from Milwaukee/Rigid after a few months. If you are already into Milwaukee then I'd probably just stick w/that brand. Thanks for the great question, sorry I couldn't answer it.

I mean, walk onto any construction site, you'll see 95% red or yellow tools, maybe 1% green. You're really unlikely to find anything *better* than those two as long as you're shopping store brands. This seems to keep up, I mean it toenails into yellow pine with little issue. What about into hardwood? On a 110° day, after hours of heavy continuous use? I'd have to see. Can vouch that the Wauk gun still runs like a beast when the barrel is so hot you can't touch anything but the handle, though.

The 4V USB Lithium line is for crafts and very small projects. I just finished using the 4v high-speed rotary on a paint project right before typing this. It works great and was perfect for the delicate job I was working on. If you don't like them, then don't buy them.

Glad it made you laugh so hard!

Thanks for watching.

Congrats!! Please let me know how you like it and so other viewers can get an another opinion on it.

The only reason I would switch it out is if there is a problem with your current quick change collet or if you have a different size shaft on a particular bit you are trying to use. There are standard size shafts for most bits but there are a few that are extra thin, this should allow you to change out the collet to fit those extra thin bits. The reason I made the video is one of my viewers was having a problem w/their quick change and needed to know how to remove/service it. Thanks for watching and the good question!

@TBKHomeworld hey thanks for the reply! Awesome ok I was just curious. Appreciate the info.

@pizzaROX My pleasure!

Merry Christmas.

@ Merry Christmas

You're welcome, Merry Christmas! It stinks that it didn't include the instructions, hopefully the video is thorough enough that you are able to easily assemble yours.

Thanks for watching.
