Is This Tool Pointless? Product Design Engineer Reviews The New Ryobi One+ 18V Workshop Blower

[@austinkirkman5788]

I’m a lawn care guy and I think it’s excellent for cleaning porches and patios with people really close by and so on. No 2-cycle smell, etc.

[@oliverherron6606]

I have the milwaukee one. I use it to blow myself off after a particularly dusty day before I get in my car😆

[@JJCCENG]

Now i'm annoyed that I cant be mad at this product anymore because there are too many reasonable uses for it :)

[@VOODOOphg]

I have one of these, and with a 3ah battery, it works great. Sure the bigger and more powerful blowers work better, but they also take up a lot more space in your tool shed. For its size, it’s a nice option. Finally, most of us already have the Ryobi batts, and I bought mine as a refurb, over 5 yrs ago, from Direct Tool Outlet, for about $15 (bare tool refurb).

The amount of anger at a piece of plastic is hilarious. Good vid man

[@JJCCENG]

My therapist said it was a good outlet ;)

[@andys470]

I use mine for blowing water out of mirrors, door seals and other inaccessible areas whilst cleaning cars and motorcycles as a highly portable alternative to using my air compressor. I already have several batteries as have many ryobi tools, so I don't take that expense in to consideration making it a very competitive price compared to other brands if you do have a use for it like me, I do like your technical analysis of the materials.

[@JJCCENG]

That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the feedback dude!

[@WTF_BBQ]

I used it to clean my garage. Works great especially in tight spaces where the boxes are........

[@JJCCENG]

Well now I look foolish.. :) Thanks for the comment.

[@xristm]

Good video good technical information, but I think that Ryobi tool is useful, easy for clean my workshop. I even use it to clean my garage, I have no complaints. And if I need something more powerful I take my leaf blower but many times this tool is lighter and more effective. Again good video. I will subscribe

[@laredotech]

I use my shop vac for my bench

[@JJCCENG]

Same. Thanks for the comment.

[@MAVENdeNYC]

Sorry, I bought mines used. I use it for outdoor work area like a leaf blower and a substitute for an air compressor blower to blow myself off. Even my small shop vac is too loud and has a cord, and is more bulky. Its light and portable. It may be overpriced and not for all a lot of applications. The larger Ryobi leaf blower seems overkill for my purposes, and is much larger. This works great for me.

[@sydsydsbenz5041]

Your never wrong! I think the problem is just you!!!

[@JJCCENG]

Impossible... but also very likely.

[@jalee6587]

These 18v motors are actually significantly larger than 540 or 550 sized motors used in brushed rc applications

[@johnoberle9750]

Every tool has its purpose. Nooks and crannies and blowing out the clothes dryer went. All the major tool companies have their version. Need a vacuum too but blowing gets things out the vacuum won’t. Nice review. Don’t agree with your opinion but on the technical side bravo!

[@JJCCENG]

Great comment. Thanks!

[@brettheneghan724]

Nice vid. I was wondering if you can answer a question for me.Is ABS brittle? Will it crack easier then nylon 66? If you designed it would you use ABS or 66?

[@JJCCENG]

Great question. ABS is more "tough" or non-brittle compared to most Nylons. So the main reason to use nylon is when you need "stiffness" or "rigidity"... but in a light duty application like this blower, there really is no need for a stiff material so I think ABS was a great material choice.. and an added bonus is ABS is much easier than Nylon to process into a beautiful dimensionally stable part, free of surface imperfections.

[@brettheneghan724]

@@JJCCENG Thanks for the info. Keep the videos coming

[@waynegilby4036]

Wow my wife would love to own that fantastic baterry powerd hair dryer

[@JJCCENG]

Sounds like the perfect anniversary gift to me.

[@jalee6587]

Funny thing is Milwaukee has the same exact blower rebranded and red. I bet this guy would say how great the Milwaukee is .

[@JJCCENG]

I have since been informed that there are some decent practical uses for this blower, but if at the time of this filming, if I knew about the milwaukee one and it cost more than this one I would have ragged on it even more probably....

[@h8GW]

I dunno. He's obviously a Ridgid guy and also was pretty fair to the $50 Hercules impact driver.

[@h8GW]

This is NOT the free tool to pick when choosing on those B.O.G.O. tool deals -despite the legitimate uses listed in the comments-

[@fellzer]

Why he so angry at plastic tho?

[@JJCCENG]

Stupid plastic....
