[@stiniusdahl9789]

I have both sizes of the glue guns. Love them. My favorite Ryobi tool is the battery miter saw. Great for small things

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

Oh nice! I might have to check that out. I've been eyeballing a lot of those battery powered miter saws. Good to hear it works well! Thanks so much for watching Stiniusdahl!

[@jimrosson6702]

Great video as always Bryan. Love the Dad jokes definitely going to check out the light and glue gun . Thanks for sharing

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

Thanks so much Jim! Really appreciate it as always. Have a great week!

[@PennsylvaniaMike]

Thanks for the video. I was actually just looking at a couple of these. Enjoyed the information in this video.

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

My pleasure PennsylvaniaMike! Really appreciate you watching!

[@dandelie2067]

I like that small, compact light.

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

Yeah, that was one of my favorites as well. Especially since it can last all day! Thanks so much for watching Dandelie!

[@RayandSandysWoodworking]

I can see where these tools would be a good thing to have in the house for small repairs and other things but not in the shop. Thanks for the review!

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

Yep! I would tend to agree with you, other than the glue gun. I would definitely keep that in the shop. Close second would be the stapler for light duty stuff. Thanks so much for watching RayandSandyWoodworking!

[@gteam53]

Always excellent content, thanks!

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

Thanks so much Gteam53! Reallyt appreciate you watchign as always! :)

[@m3rdpwr]

While I have a Ryobi 18 volt glue gun, I also have a 30 plus year old Black & Decker cordless glue gun. It plugs into the wall and heats up an element in the glue gun and has a color changing pad that changes colors as it heats up. Works pretty well. I can see this newer cordless glue gun may have a good use for me.

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

Oh nice! That is what type of glue gun I've got... used to be my dads. Works fine, just nice to be free from the cord! Thanks so much for watching m3rdpwr! Really appreciate it!

[@m3rdpwr]

@FlynndoggWoodwork I was just thinking about how long I've had it. My buddy gave it to me when I was around 20 years old, so it's probably close to 35 years old. My father took it from me and used it all the time. It is now on my workbench downstairs. Keep up the good work.

[@billybike57]

Thanks Cuz for the review, I’m knee deep into the Ryobi tool platform, including a few of the old blue and gray tools. I was considering a few of your reviewed tools but I’m pausing now. I’m neon green and gray through and through but sometimes I feel Ryobi is trying to fill a market demand rather than the consumer confidence. I really do trust your channel.

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

I think you hit the nail on the head Billy! I would say about 80% of the tools I get from Ryobi work great.... and then there are the duds. I think the light is great and the glue gun, but I do have concerns long term about the scredriver and the nailer. These might be more "home use" products. Really appreciate you sharing and watching!

[@BrandonCabanillas]

Ty once again. Love the dad jokes 😂

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

Haha! Thanks so much Brandon! Have a great weekend!

[@adam-qf2vz]

great video mate........ I like the glue gun and the light....... only ssue for me is in the UK they are not so cheap!

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

I saw that, when I was trying to list the link, I was flabbergasted by the UK pricing!

[@hansangb]

@5:30 Once you got star bits, or square or robertson, there's no going back.

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

Totally agree Hansangb! Total game changer. Steve ramsey was one of the first person I saw using them and I have never (or rarely) ever bought phillips again!

[@hansangb]

@FlynndoggWoodwork lol. We watched the exact same video. SPAX FTW!

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

@@hansangb Love it!

[@jimgoliver8598]

I think I might get these tools for my girlfriend she won't need the power that I need in the shop but I think I will use the light more when doing home repairs than she would. Thanks all are very affordable

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

Haha! Love it. I might have to regift them for my wife! :). Thanks so much for watching Jim!

[@themeat5053]

Dogg man, Ryobi has some good stuff. We've been using the cordless nailer for ten years or so without any real problems (at the time they were about $100 cheaper than the competition). How 'bout, "forward to reverse," we don't like going backwards. What other things in your life are "too big?" Yeah, we're listening: you said fits into the "palm of her hand." Come on, Dogg.

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

Man, I must be losing it! :). That nailer is probably one of the best made Ryobi tools out there. I've had about 2 other ones since then and nothing works better especially for the price.

[@themeat5053]

@@FlynndoggWoodwork We love our Ryobi; though we do have the DeWalt 18 and 23 gauge nailers and use them all the time. The other great Ryobi tool we have is the "shop" blower. It's a smaller copy of a leaf blower and Dogg, man, it works good.

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

@@themeat5053 Are you spying on me Meat? I just bought that blower for shop cleanliness. I picked it up the week of black friday to include in a video! Too funny!

[@clifblanchard4531]

I really prefer star bits, but I still have flat and Phillips screws I have to deal with. I hate the cords on glue guns, definitely going to get that cordless one. I really like the stapler and light, but will pass on the screw driver. Love your videos!

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

You're the best Clif! I 100% agree with you. Thank you so much for being a member, Really appreciate you! :)

[@HoneyHollowHomestead]

Given a choice, I always go with star. Philips are ok if using a hand screw driver.

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

Totally agree! I'm a huge fan of the star, but phillips do the job in a pinch! Thanks so much for watching HoneyHollowHomestead!

[@wiredperformance6130]

Not a fan of ryobi but they do have a good selection of tools. They just don’t have the power of others. I do like the new battery because it’s more at home friendly.

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

That's a great synopsis of it wiredperformance! I actually just brought up the screw driver to the house for my wife to use on some things she's putting together. It might just stay up there. If it wasn't for ryobi, I might not have gotten into woodworking so I can't fault them too much. But yes, power is sometimes less than to be desired. Thanks so much for watching!

[@tomb4045]

The first 2 are really underwhelming but I like the second 2. I am pretty deep in the Ryobi platform myself and I can see adding the light and glue gun.

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

Thanks so much for sharing Tom! Really appreciate you watching. I tend to agree with you!

[@FriendsOfTheRoad]

Ryobi is just fine for a home diy enthusiast.

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

Totally agree FreindsOfTheRoad! Really appreciate you watching!

[@kenerickson4923]

I already have the Ryobi glue gun and the battery fits right into the gun keeping glue hot without needing to go back in that base. In video it looks like the glue stick is the smaller diameter stick. Mine uses the 1/2" stick. I keep one of my small batteries in the gun at all times and ready to go.

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

Great eye Ken - yes, these glue sticks seem to be a little smaller in diameter than standard glue sticks which kind of sucks, but i bet it has something to do with needing less heat to melt the thinner diameter.

[@shanemelville]

I only use torx screws. I have a bit holder on my driver to accommodate the three main size Torx screws I use

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

That's a great idea! I need to do the same. I have a driver back that has two of the sizes, but always have to search for the smallest size! Thanks so much for the idea and thanks for watching Shane!

[@Andi.Mitchell.Designs]

Off topic… you’re looking great! Any specific weight loss regiment? Keep it up.

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

Thanks so much Andi! I really appreciate that. I've been doing some dieting and continuing to exercise. Also a little help from an injection! Really appreciate you noticing! :)

[@patcross5799]

The light and glue gun look handy... but I'm trying to stick to one battery system. Thanks for the Saturday morning show. Is Bert feeling ok? He was pretty well behaved. Have a great weekend.

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

Haha! Burt is doing just fine. He may have eaten some of the green ham I saw in his fridge last week. :). I totally hear you on the battery infrastructure. If it wasn't for this channel I would be much more hesitant on purchasing a lot of the tools on this channel! Thanks as always for watching Pat, and have a great weekend!

[@JeffDM]

The screwdriver doesn't have a clutch or variable speed but not a lot in this price class has either. It's an OK tool but I wouldn't have gotten it if it weren't part of a bundle. I'll keep the other things in mind. I do like having a variety of lights handy.

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

Yep, that is one of the biggest problems with that screw driver. Impact driver will be the main way I go, but might use that screw driver on hinge installation etc. Thanks so much for watching Jeff! Really appreciate it!

[@kenerickson4923]

I think you are going to make more cabinets soon if you keep buying tools. 😂 You can always send some to me and I'll store them for you.

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

Haha! I know right. I still have about 3 drawers and 4 cabinets that are empty but it's getting full! :)

[@kenerickson4923]

I don't buy Phillips screws either. I converted to square and star as my drive of choice. Unfortunately, many things come with with Phillips screws so I need those bits too.

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

I'm the same way, I really wish they would covert the phillips to the star. So much more effective and rarely strips!

[@daviddura1172]

the light would be great for night fishing or on a Kayak at night....just last week I threw away my ryobi small screw driver (old style with BUILT IN--NOT REMOVABLE BATTERY) IT DIED AFTER 3 OR 4 YEARS, never liked the idea that I had to stop and recharge it and thought, why not a removable battery.... BTW it died via a locked up geardrive, the drive totally fell apart and froze up... THEY ARE NOT MADE FOR HEAVY DUTY WORK...BUT THATS PRETTY OBVIOUS... still was a very handy tool...

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

I would agree with you David! Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us. Really appreciate it. I love hearing from people who have had some long term usage of tools. Thanks again for sharing and watching!

[@Rysaber]

Robertson Screws are my preferred but torx screws are my next in line. Philips and Flat heads are just a no in my work.

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

I'm right there with you Rysaber! I wish I could find Robertson screws more readily available where I'm at. I only see them as pocket hole screws here! :(. Thanks so much for watching!

[@kenerickson4923]

The light may be the only thing I could use, but I have alternatives.

Good to know Ken! Hope you are getting some work in this weekend! Have a good one!

Torx (star) bits don't work worth a damn on phillips head screws. 😁 The screw head isn't always undr my control. Have you seen machine screws with a Torx head? Sometimes the only large machine screws that I can find are slotted. Then, there are sheetrock screws... I use all sorts of bits, though I don't my drivers on slotted screws. They're too flaky and the bits are horrible. Cabinet hardware uses pozidrive heads. I bought the 9.6V tire inflator. It says it's good for "topping off" tires. It's junk. That was the end of my foray into their 9.6V line. There are a lot of 18V tools that are very nice (16ga, 18ga, and pin nailers) and some that I use almost every day. The glue gun is the best I've used and the heat gun is amazing at taking off stick labels and heat-shrink tubing. It's not a heavy-duty gun (HF has a very good, cheap, corded heat gun).

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

This is great information kwilliams! Thank you so much for sharing this. I've looked at that 9.6V tire inflator, I'm glad I didn't get it! I'm really trying to check out some more of the other brands available at the big box stores in the near future. I'm really intersted in Makita and Milwaukee, just need to justify spending the extra cash. I guess I can use this channel as a reason! :). Love the comment and thanks so much as always for watching!

[@kwilliams2239]

@@FlynndoggWoodwork The Ryobi 18V tire inflators are very good. The gauge on my older one is off by a mile but with another gauge, it works very, very, well. I just bought their new 18V inflator. I think it was $40, and has a digital gauge and an auto-stop feature. I haven't tried it yet. I was going to give it to my wife to stick in her car, so perhaps I should try it. 😉

@@kwilliams2239 Good to know! :). Might want to give that inflator a quick check before sticking it in your wife's car! :).
