As an electrician that does strictly remodels this is an absolute essential tool. kzbin.infoUgkx0vyBwjtx9GGOuiqUVT2sRoYqmDoNT_RI Being able to precision cut any material with a light weight tool is priceless.I upgraded to this Dewalt 20v from a competitor's 12v. The Dewalt 20v is just as light as the competitor's 12v. I am extremely pleased with the overall performance and battery life of this tool. As far as oscillators go, they just aren't very ergonomic tools. The dewalt oscillators have an offset handle that do make them somewhat more ergonomic than the competitors' oscillators.

[@mikemays6964]

I love that it got rid of trigger. Holding that trigger can be fatiguing after awhile. Also, no longer having to pull a trigger allows to me place my hands wherever I want and focus on my cutting.

[@skysummerss]

I’m sorry you had to hold it You didn’t have to if you looked on the side it had a lock button to lock in place the trigger so you won’t have to hold it for long periods of time

[@loft4me]

For doing work that requires a lengthy run time, where the hands might get fatigued to the point of shakiness, the on-off would be better, as the user can concentrate on the grip, and not trying to maintain a constant speed via the trigger. But for doing a lot of short, repetitious work, the trigger is quicker and more intuitive. For myself, for using it in a mix of work, the on-off is satisfactory. Thank you for the video!

[@44Mag]

Spot-on...In sheetrock cuts for outlets or patching, to me the dial is much better.

[@JN-nw9gp]

This tool is so Underated! It's actually the tool other than my Drill. finally they did a good upgrade

[@rogerlane2282]

A lot of Ryobi tools are under rated their brushless series is a game changer. I was at a job and my friend had a dewalt impact driver and had the ryobi impact 3 speed non brushless and we were driving 4" drywall screws into frame and 4x4 and my Ryobi blew the doors off his dewalt. I made him turn red. I take my ryobi tools to a job and no one fucks with them. I don't have to worry about people using my chargers or stealing my tools as the snobs look down on them but guess what, I get the job done and I am not spending an arm and a leg for my tools. Not to mention the 9Ah batteries are off the chain, love those beastly beastly batteries :D

[@BradThePitts]

I'm just a weekend warrior doing basic projects, this tool might do fine for me compared to the $299 Bosch version. The most I would ever do is cut rectangles in drywall for outlet boxes, or maybe some notches in laminate flooring.

[@r4oodles]

I do think that tool free blade change is cool. I’ve got the older one and it seems like screw is forever long. Nice review. 👍

[@4seeableTV]

None of these tools should have an allen wrench anymore, so it's a welcome improvement by Ryobi.

[@classydays43]

You know how the older ones have the rubber thing over the top? There's actually a couple tabs under there so you can rotate the head of the tool 90° one way or the other. Works great if you don't want the battery in the way of a small space or tight corner.

[@ryanperez5788]

Love the channel. I, myself, hate the trigger and the necessity for the Allen key on the previous ryobi model. I like being able to flip the on switch, set my speed and then hold my tool in any way necessary to get the tool where I need it to go. I do a lot of cuts on ceilings and flood cuts in Sheetrock. I use my m18 brushed Milwaukee for the lack of trigger and the tool less blade changes. The ryobi is always my back up and I use it when I’m in a pinch or feel as though I’m overheating the Milwaukee. I will be picking up this new model because it seems to have everything I am looking for.

[@callofduty611]

Mostly looking at this for the brushless motor and the tool-free blade change.. I have a current model with a trigger, which I do really love. I think it'd be neat if there was an all-in-one version with the brushless motor, tool-free blade change plus a trigger for variable speed, plus perhaps a dial to limit the maximum speed.

[@james2042]

your wish has been granted, they have a new revision of this tool with a trigger and a few other small changes

[@jimmyc4493]

I have the ryobi multi tool with the trigger and I want to switch out to this one when it comes out. The trigger is nice but over time it doesn't always work right. I'll go to squeeze it and it won't move, so I have to play with it to get it to work sometimes. Still a handy tool and I'm glad I have it, but this new one definitely seems like an upgrade

[@gcoffey223]

This video sold me on this. Answered dome ke questions

[@dahut3614]

I bought a Harbor Freight single speed model and thought, "If it's something I use a lot, I'll buy a better one when it dies." It hasn't died yet, but there are times I have wished it was cordless. Mostly I have used it to cut drywall, but I did remove a door header and framing to install a wider door and used it to cut nails. I imagine it will be good when I need to cut-off rail hangers on a fence someday. I bought a Bosch carbide blade, but it's not "sharp" and I found that it required much more pressure to cut nails.

[@WorkshopAddict]

I love most Bosch blades and cutting wheels but the carbide multi-tool blades suck.

[@Dale37]

I dislike triggers on my multi-tools. It's nice to set the speed and go to work in tight areas or in places where you constantly have to change cut direction.

[@danielentaltsev6680]

Everyone at work shit talked my ryobi jigsaw, it has no variable speed trigger. But hell it’s trigger locks and the dial for speed control is thumb accessible. All guys at work use dewalt. The variable trigger on their multi tool is beat up to shit and barely has any variability. On switch and a dial is best.

[@djjinerson]

Just used mine to sand off a greasy rusty old vice. Worked great now that vice is shiny new metal, and I almost don’t want to paint it, but my ryobi went from throw up green to black. Really holds grease and metal good on that finish :) used it for molding, and trim cuts too. These things are handy but I think it matters more on what you attach to them vs the name on the tool. I have used the ezarc “Amazon blades” with good results and Diablo sanding paper.

[@44Mag]

Most of these tools use a dial for speed so you can get consistent cuts in various materials. For example, in plastic cuts, you need a slower speed to avoid melting the material. A tool with a trigger is way more difficult to maintain a steady speed, which could cause issues with the cuts. A dial gives the same speed through the entire cut.

[@dvxAznxvb]

That’s a big boy due to battery I can see where m12 will come in handy

[@aidentroutman9188]

Very nice!! I've been eying up the new m18 fuel Oscillating tool but haven't made the move.

[@LilasTools]

Looks Decent! I'm in the market for my first multi tool, I think I will go with the M12 Fuel. It will be useful for some of the rough woodworking I do cutting off screws flush with wood!

[@Mike-vt6is]

I have the m12 its great

[@paulschultz2331]

I’d like a trigger with an adjustment knob that can limit how fast. Once you find your sweet spot, set the knob so the variable speed trigger only goes to that point.

[@JayBuccola]

The dewalt has a 3 speed, plus a variable trigger. I love it.

[@clicknetusa]

I wonder about a circular (or serrated side) accessory which will allow you to cut sideways too.

[@weldonpinder7295]

I love the switch. The trigger is kinda tiring

[@charleswilliams9217]

1. I definitely agree with the trigger over the dial. My best guess, a dial was cheaper to put in the tool. 2. I wish instead of creating a bunch of small tools they could have just created different attachments for the actual P246 tool. That power train is expandable to a magnitude of possibilities. It could have replaced the PSBCS02, P460, P531, PSBID01, and many more. Not to mention it was interchangeable with the Rigid JobMax attachments. I guess they were going for maximum profit. I mean why make a $45 attachment when you can make a $99 tool that does the same thing.

[@AK-oz4ew]

This when one on sale for $80 or Metabo HTP for the same money? Reviewers claim that Metabo is slow and noisy. How was it holding up for you, Sir? Big fan of your channel BTW, thank you for honest reviews.

[@Zozo806]

Actually the blade change on Ryobi is better than the new Milwaukee 🤣

[@ubreakitirepairit3569]

I been looking at this tool primarily for the tool free blade change. The dial isn't that big of a deal to me. They probably did that because holding down a variable speed trigger is one less thing you've gotta worry about while your cutting.

[@weldonpinder7295]

The main upside to me is the tooless blade change. My old Ryobi needs a wrench and it sucks

[@willyshoo]

You should mention battery life in your product reviews. Just food for thought.

[@WorkshopAddict]

I did. On this tool I said battery life is not an issue as the batteries, even the compacts will outlast your will of using this tool.

[@ITWorksSoftware]

OMG take the battery out when changing blades !😮

[@randymurray934]

Im wondering why it doesn't have the multi head like the older model i have. Seems less of a multi tool now

[@taister211]

Mine quits? If i feather whatever im trying to cut, ok, but once pushed beyond the 1st gear it stops and light flashes?? worked decent for maybe a year, and the dumb switch, have to pause work and use 2 hands to turn damn thing on.

[@sdotagain312]

Is it available for purchase yet?

[@joshua00022]

Does the normal one+ batteries work with it or does it have to use the HP?

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

I been thinking if grabbing the new m12 and m18 fuel models but I have to say I love my dewalt xr 20v 3 speed unit the most because it has the trigger paddle switch to control the tool on and off instead of a on switch and a speed dial @WorkshopAddict

[@weldonpinder7295]

which do u think has more speed and power the M12 fuel or the Ryobi HP multi tool

[@rexxtso9895]

Did he just say Glock gen 4? Haha

[@zehuazhou3390]

How is the performance compared to the Ryobi brushed?

[@ibrenecario7357]

why did they NOT make it so head could cut in different angles like R18MT-0?

[@Pro1er]

Just about anything would be better than the previous model, it was a total POS. Also, I hope this one has less vibration, I'm used to my ancient Fein which is nice and smooth, (for a multi-tool), the old Ryobi was like holding a paint shaker.

[@rogerlane2282]

lol yes some older models of their tools were just not hitting the mark. Take for example the reciprocating saw. The old version was just garbage but the new brushless version is amazing, bulky but great at big demo sites, cuts through anything like hot knife to butter.

[@octobervallejo6018]

It this tool good for cutting wood?

[@lennyrosen7898]

Personally, I hate the trigger. Having a trigger means that you must have your hand in a position to push the trigger. This limits how you hold the tool. Furthermore, there is no need to feather the trigger to vary the speed. That is what the dial is for. Also, what is the big deal regarding the little hump on the hand grip? That is silly. Your steering wheel on your car or truck has a bunch of them.

[@jessicacordon3438]

How do you use the little sander part?

[@Chinnwood]

Why not show to actually put on all the blades

[@weldonpinder7295]

I finally got the Ryobi HP multi tool and it's a big let down. Either I got a lemon or the tool broke very easily. my first project I barely put any pressure on it and it kept cutting out and the light kept flashing. I took the battery out and it kept doing the same thing until I couldn't even put any pressure at all. now it just keeps cutting off and idk what's the problem but it's a big let down. another couple things is it had more vibration than what I figured and the speed dial would move on it's own. I would have to keep my finger there to hold it

[@bread-gz3rl]

Does anyone knows, if this brushless version will be available in germany?

[@kyplummer3657]

I think we are all used to triggers so why change it unless there is some application you run into where it would be awkward or in the way, I don’t have a lot of experience with this multi tools but my thought would be trigger.

[@nicstr28]

Ever notice pretty much everything with a trigger has a trigger lock so you can let go of the trigger.? Wonder why? If they didnt have a trigher lock folks would complain about that. I cant see what playing with the speed while your cutting would benefit.

[@babyh2121]

I've been wondering if this could cut through ice? It has been a rough winter with battling ice dams on our gutters. Hammering and chiseling are way too tedious :(

[@roshanmahavithanage6312]

You wouldn't be able to hold it as you do in this video if it had a trigger. Down side of having a trigger is holding it in off angles

[@jojolozano4868]

I do not know anyone that uses the dial for speed control

[@242sp]

Just came across your channel, I notice you're comparing ryobi against milwaukee against dewalt ... Ryobi shouldn't be in contention against those other brands. I have a bunch of ryobi to tools I like a lot , but they are nowhere near Milwaukee ( way overpriced and owned by the same company as ryobi ) and DeWalt (meh) . Makita should be in contention with the others, they've been around forever, and make great we'll built tool, Hitachi (Metabo) also makes good stuff, Ryobi - good but just not in the same class

[@4seeableTV]

Why does everything he reviews have to be in the 'same class'? Different people have different needs and different budgets.

[@rogerlane2282]

There are certain tools that Ryobi makes that are better than the over priced name brands, example the Ryobi cordless nail gun, it's great.

[@joq702]

"but they are nowhere near Milwaukee" - disagree to some extent here - There are some tools for lesser motor demand requirement uses in all of the brands you named where the differences between the ergonomics of the tools, the power, battery life, function, and features is so very little that 99% of us could care less. A good example is Ryobi's 18V little shop blower versus Milwaukee's, Dewalt, or Rigid, or Makita, or Craftsman (crap anyway anymore). Another are Ryobi's little dust buster vacuums, and there handy very small mini detail small nozzel blower, inflator, deflator. If you already have an 18V Ryobi charger, there are certain functionalities of less powerful motor tools that are imho quite the same regardless of brand, especially for the type of use for which you are going to use it. Not everyone is going to use this tool every single day like a tradesperson.

[@westleykaz]

I don't think you like the new ryobi stuff.

[@WorkshopAddict]

It has been a rough go with many of the new HP tools. I have had many projects to use them in during our demo project and many have failed me during that use.

[@westleykaz]

@@WorkshopAddict Dang that sucks. I know ryobi isn't top of the line but I try to look at it's performance and price as its value as a whole. I also understand some things I would never buy ryobi but other things I'd definitely buy ryobi, for me ryobi is an accessory brand to compliment my milwaukee stuff because it is so cheap, for instance a workshop blower, why spend the money on a Milwaukee workshop blower when Ryobi bare tool is like 50 bucks and even cheaper at Direct Tools. Just my 2 cents but I love your content.
