NEW Ryobi Shop Blower Review

[@Sacapuntas69]

I bought this and the 3gal wet/dry vac about 2 weeks ago, and I have used these two more than any other tools. The size and ease of use makes me constantly grabbing them for some type of quick clean up.

[@Tdc-vw2uf]

I bought this because I saw this video. One caveat; 94db is very loud. Hearing protection while using is a must. Thanks for the video.

[@ssjcajas]

Geez 7 kids, someone get this man cable tv haha. I love this blower I have it and I use it to dry my car after washing it.

[@J.R.F.23]

It’s fantastic for drying off vehicles; that I not only bought one for myself… I bought one for my son (for his car). I highly recommend this product ❣️

[@anthonylau3065]

I like that this blower has a comfortable pistol grip to help you aim where you want the blower at. I was wondering though, which battery size or sizes gives you the right balance to hold and use the blower without being too awkward or uncomfortable to use after a short amount of time. You used a 9ah battery but I wondered if a 6ah or 4ah battery would be better for the user. Maybe a revew on this question? You mentioned about adding a belt hook on this, I had the same thought with the idea battery size here too.

[@AllanDelosReyes]

Finally ordered one at Home Depot.

[@JoshThompson25]

Should have had more footage of actually using it. Blowing leaves off the deck, drying a car, blowing out the shop, etc

[@james2042]

you can get suburbans with a bench in the front for a 9th seat, with that said its super rare and is usually to order

[@livefreeandtoolon]

Unsafe for kids......

[@timothystevenhoward]

yeah I have some uses for this. mostly blowing out PC cases and cleanup round the office. looking for it to go on sale and grab the new 12700 batteries this summer

[@timothystevenhoward]

I'm also hoping SBD/Craftsman/Dewalt comes out with something similar.

[@jimivey6462]

With all the blowers I have tried, regardless of brand, it seems like they all perform better with larger batteries. Of course, they certainly last longer on a charge.

[@RidgidRon]

I more than understand the available energy potential is dependent and controlled by the brushless circuitry in the tools and battery. The design factor if you want to call it that. I don't own a Ryobi 12 amp battery but do own 2, 4 and 6 amp various Ryobi batteries.

[@josephcullen2512]

Yes I can second this too. I guess they are quite power hungry tools, like impact wrenches that channels on KZbin test this stuff in depth for, so my thinking would be that there's a significant voltage drop. The high performance batteries probably are better too, even on non HP tools. And the new generation of tabless batteries such as Ryobi Edge batteries will be even better. A lower capacity one of those might be equivalent to a much higher capacity standard battery kind of thing

[@cahg3871]

Enjoying the channel Brent-easy to follow explanations and demonstrations.

[@neilberry4079]

thank you for this just wait for to get here

[@lancemaple3664]

This form factor is interesting with the blower above the handle, I'm curious to know how well it would blow snow off the car!

[@ironj100]

GOT 1 what is the highest 18v battery can be use with this awesome little blower.

[@Maskawolf]

is it strong enough for snow removal on a car? Thanks for the video!

[@joshrosales]

I can't find anywhere to buy

[@josephcullen2512]

Great review and video! Yeah, more comparisons with other blowers would be great actually! Especially regards noise, for me. Blowers are my most used tools. My favourite are Ryobi's whisper series leaf blowers. I have two of those, and a bunch of others. This one reminds me slightly of some pistol grip style jet fan blowers Makita has, but is more versatile, except it doesn't seem to have a high volume attachment for air mattresses and such... Unless it does I dunno... I think the Makita ones can do that, but this one might be too powerful hahah. I think this design could be made even more of with those kind of additions. I would love a whisper series version of this with more attachment options for different jobs. It would be okay with me if it had to be a little wider or larger for soundproofing. Power and quietness are both important, but quietness is the deciding factor in most cases for me. For this reason the variable speed trigger is brilliant at least. When these get to Australia I will be very tempted. All the best to you and your relatively sizeable family! It's a wonderful thing to have

[@RidgidRon]

You have a 12 amp battery attached to the blower. Does this make a difference in performance? I understand that run time will be longer but what about output?

[@livefreeandtoolon]

It's a 9amp, and it doesn't really make a different, a fan is a non loading loading device, unlike a drill

[@markstehle151]

Only runtime, 18 volts is 18 volts. maH is just a measure of battery capacity so the higher the maH the longer it will last before recharge.

[@RidgidRon]

@@livefreeandtoolon 9 amp-Ok that you for the update. It looked like a 12 amp by the size on my phone.

[@MrCallenl]

​@@markstehle151 yes, but battery is a bit more complex, capacity hints about the power output capability. C = charge rate. Never given on these type of batteries. But 1C = 1 times the capacity in disharge rate. Larger capacity and Larger c-rate, the more power can be delivered. So for power in a drill, a 5Ah battery will deliver longer run AND higher power(torque) in a tool than a 2Ah battery, given the tool needs a certain amperage/power to deliver its specified power. I belive Ryobi specify all tools with a 5Ah.

[@anthonylau3065]

@@RidgidRon I wasn't sure at first but at 1:05 and then better at 2:04 when he moved the tool closer to the camera, I could see he was using 9ah.

[@haroldruddick9836]

How does it do on blowing grass off a lawn tractor?

[@OGDetailer]

I may need to get a bigger battery, I purchased the one w/o the battery, brought a ryobi drill and using the 18v 1.5ah that came with the drill, didn't last very long

[@philipb2958]

How is the balance? It looks like it would be top heavy.

[@Lovelacewatkins139]

Hi , we can now buy this blower for a hundred and twenty nine quid here in the UK with a 2.5 amp battery , what will that give me , do I need at least a 4 amp battery to give it a chance drying a mini cooper , cheers , great review 😊

[@rchapoteau]

Would have loved to see if it could have blown the snow off your steps behind you.

[@txvet7738]

It’s now time to compare this new Ryobi blower against the Makita XGT / LXT compact blowers and see who come out on top!

[@denissh3955]

looks to be real HP too

[@watchfull-tq5sy]

Bought the Ryobi blower tool only and bought the Ryobi 4ah battery separately which increases power by 33% it’s LETHAL

[@TheMcandela88]

Hey buddy I have a question do u recommmed this to blow water of your car when washing thanks

[@livefreeandtoolon]

After washing it, yes

[@TheMcandela88]

@@livefreeandtoolon thanks

[@lrodecw]

Maybe good for blowing snow of the deck

[@augaureliusserious]

7 kids? Sir!

[@monkeyrun]

there should be a nozzle for dusting computer or other indoor stuff. missed opportunity.

[@peacefrog0521]

4:50 “you have to get into a lot of crevices…” See that’s how you wound up with 7 kids in the first place… 😅 Geez Dude, pull out once in a while… This would be 110% Perfect if it had a J-shaped face nozzle to let me blow out my gutters from ground level. 😮 I think with the extensions and wide-mouth nozzle this would be great for clearing light / dry snow from sidewalks, or even off a car. You could even keep it in the car and not worry about it waking away, because no one would waste their time stealing a Ryobi. 😅

[@is5032]

Thank you for using a decibel meter. 94db is shockingly high and reason enough not to buy it. A shame as otherwise it looks a good bit of kit.

[@WTF_BBQ]

Give it to your wife as her new hair dryer.

[@snakesonn]

They should make an actual cordless hair dryer lol

[@timblack1775]

Its Not Three Hundred and Sixty Feet per Minute- Its Three Thousand Six Hundred and Three Feet per Minute. Big difference in Air Velocity...

[@christopherwilliams5808]

You look like Frank from American Pickers.

[@gurdeepchana5649]

Not available in the UK. Anyone willing to send me one 😂

[@mcham0846]

Check Bunnings. I see for it online only sometimes. Im from Canada but look out of boredom lol

[@markhill4419]

years later WHY kids don't listed , they deaf from no near protection

[@codustv1465]

It may be a cool tool but slapping a compact sticker on it does not make it compact. Is this getting compared to a full size leaf blower or a jobsite blower? lol

[@robrobs7529]

A 45 degree silicone hose will fix the sleeve suction problem or roll up your sleeve

[@seansean8008]

used it to blowdry detailed cars- it aint great compared to the Ego

[@mcham0846]

The ego has higher CFM and also bigger and more expensive.

[@bobfarley4102]

Don't need to hear you begging for money in the middle of a video.

[@DoodleBugFarm]

That will make cleaning out my school bus way easy! I'm looking for something comparable to this👉 DeWalt 20v Max Pruning Shear but in a Ryobi version. Have you found anything like this?

[@steveswlau]

When you are outside stepping on the snow, I thought you will use it to try blowing snow. Just measure the sound level ? What a waste.
