Cordless Storm Prep with RYOBI! | RYOBI Tools 101

[@arizonevibes]

I really look forward to when you sell more of these tools in Mexico. I really appreciate how Ryobi tools have the focus of not only for DIYers but for people in general to be used around the house

I'm in the US, so I'm sure we get more than you guys, but you should see the stuff they get in the UK.... Ryobi just doesn't love us enough. 🤣 Actually, it's probably that Home Depot doesn't want those items, or they wouldn't be able to mark them up enough to make the required profit.

If you need fans, do yourself a favor and get the 7-1/2” fans. On a 4ah battery it lasts all day on high and even on low feels pretty nice compared to no air at all. On low, mine lasts about 17 hours with a 4ah battery and roughly 8 hours or so on high which is really good. Compared to the 12” fan which lasts 2-1/2 to 3 hours on high and 5 or so on low.

Would have love to see NOAA Weather Radio added to all Ryobi radios/stereo. Ryobi needs to bring out their version of a 2-way radios (walkie talkies), that uses their USB Lithium Batteries.

Great video! I need to get one of those power stations.

[@shaunamarr7706]

Thanks for the info! ❤

[@wendyventurini1905]

I just moved into a new house (25 years old). I need all these things for a storm outage!

[@weldonpinder7295]

What I love about the 40v power source is I could run a 18v fan on it and vice versa. Now the flaw with these power stations is the runtime. For the 18v you need 8 12ah in it to have a decent amount of runtime.

[@garyscott4847]

I'm hoping the new high performance edge batteries will provide the run time without the bulkyness of the current 12 ah batteries. So far I've only seen the edge batteries in 4 ah configuration. It's supposed to increase run time by 40% over the current standard 4 ah lithum batteries.

[@weldonpinder7295]

@garyscott4847 the runtime claim isn't true. I saw a review video of a regular 4ah battery and the edge and they both had the same runtime

[@jamieleemerrick]

I see so many things I want!

[@weldonpinder7295]

I could tell you which batteries you need. 40v 12ah for the fans and 18v 12ah for the fans. Lights regular 4ah

[@bobwalton4879]

If you need fans, do yourself a favor and keep Shannon Evans speaking for your tutorials. OH by the way your batteries ROCK!!! Never had an issue with old and new batteries.

[@Madebyshannonevans]

Wow! That was the kindest comment! Thank you. I appreciate you and your loyalty.💚

[@jcastro953]

That cooler can be used to keep medications cool like insulin.

[@Madebyshannonevans]

Great idea!💚

[@gravyboathead4885]

Why don't Ryobi Australia have these tools ?

[@garyscott4847]

The powerstation is not a replacement for a gas generator but is a alternative to using a gas generator at night and pissing off your neighbors.

[@WCBigBank]

Boy, I love battery power convinces, but during a power outage, I love my gas-powered generator. When my gas runs out, I can refill it. If my batteries run out, I have to find the guy with the gas generator to charge them. Because we all know that the power goes out during the day...

[@rpippen3455]

Doesn't hurt to have both at your convenience. It depends on the cause of the outage and how long the outage may be. Eventually, you'll also run out of gas, if thegas stations are effectively closed. Any power source at your convenience is helpful over a long period of time.

[@castleranch738]

Love Ryobi but as a generator, I hesitate buying into the system with no effective way to recharge the batteries when they run out (assuming you e lost power). Until they start releasing powerful solar panels, these are essentially one time use until you get power back.

[@alfredoojeda7977]

Using 18v batteries as a backup generator is the WORST. Those drill batteries aren’t meant to be fully drained. The guy at Home Depot told me to get a gas generator instead. Eco flow is a better brand.

[@BrandonCabanillas]

Are you giving these away? I would like to have
