RYOBI 40v cordless snow shovel review and demo

[@Pro1er]

There's one on Amazon with an adjustable chute that I've been thinking about but I already have Ryobi batteries so I've been holding out.

[@Ruger-2021]

The whole reason we went with the Ryobi 40V was because we've already invested in the platform. At least the batteries will get year round use and last longer rather than only being used for 1/3'rd of the year. Been happy so far. It's just an accessory to our Troy Bilt gas powered snow blower.

Great presentation!!!!😉 👏

[@Ruger-2021]

Thank you for watching and the positive feedback.

[@MikalBrowning]

Guy's one handing it. There's no way you're shoveling with one hand. Amazing. Now I want it to snow. I needed it to snow

[@scarce911]

You shut your mouth... no snow!

[@AndyAusman]

Thx man and ya kid too. Giddy up and God bless!

[@Ruger-2021]

No problem, we're glad you enjoyed the video. luckily we won't have to use it for a while

You sold me!

[@evantumminello3283]

Good review, thanks

[@paulwalsh1430]

Great job, i am sold.

[@viperrcr]

Just picked up mine last week! Looking forward to using it when needed when I don't need to bring out the big boy Cub Cadet.

[@Ruger-2021]

Thanks for watching. You'll like the performance of the Ryobi. We purchased it for the same reason, saves on breaking out the big boy plus it cuts down the time if two people work together. Thanks for commenting and stay warm.

[@LoOsZcAnOn]

Did you put it together? Just tried putting mine together. 3 different types of screws and not one fit in any hole. Going back tomorrow

[@viperrcr]

@@LoOsZcAnOn yes, went together perfectly.

[@Ruger-2021]

@@LoOsZcAnOn Yes, we assembled it ourselves. I don’t remember there being anything complicated about it, pretty straightforward.

[@milazemay]

Just bought one today.

spray with silicone lubricant to help the snow from sticking

[@Ruger-2021]

That's a great idea. I do that with my standard Toro gas powered snow blower and it does help. Thanks for watching.

[@xcmskim4]

How long does that 4Ahr battery last?

[@Ruger-2021]

It all depends on how hard the unit is working, the thicker and wetter snow will use more battery power. I only ran out of battery power one time during the season and I was moving lots of heavy snow.

[@MrPermjit]

Does it work on gravelled drive ways ?

[@Ruger-2021]

I'm not sure if it's your best option for Gravel roads. The propeller/Blade device is plastic and tossing up and hitting gravel may not be the best for it. If it's compacted, I would say sure but if it's loose, I would be cautious.

[@MrPermjit]

Thank you

[@troypluimer6596]

I just got one today, with the Auger being plastic how well has it held up for you?

[@Ruger-2021]

@@troypluimer6596 Congratulations, you’re going to love it. Ours held up perfectly last winter. I put it threw some thick, wet and semi icy snow with no issues. Just be smart with it and avoid ice, ice chunks and areas where you may have rocks. Remember it’s not a full blown snow blower.

[@troypluimer6596]

​@@Ruger-2021I live out in the country and have a gravel driveway, I use my snowblower for that but I raise the boots on it so it doesn't pick up the gravel. I basically got this for my deck and to shovel a path for my dog. I don't intend on using it for my driveway but in a pinch do you think it would be possible to tilt the shovel so the scraper doesn't touch the ground.

[@Ruger-2021]

@@troypluimer6596 yes, you can tilt it up. There’s wheels on the back which helps control it

[@troypluimer6596]

@@Ruger-2021 Thank You! Yeah the wheels were one of the deciding factors on getting the Ryobi over the Toro plus I already had the 40v batteries for the Ryobi, saved me about $150.

[@aaronalquiza9680]

@@troypluimer6596 i live out in the country with a "recycled asphalt" driveway so it's much like a gravel driveway. i've always been hesitant to buy a 2-stage full snowblower because of potentially picking up stones. i think we have the same situation and because of you, i think i'm now ready to buy. Home Depot has a deal for a Ryobi 24 inch snowblower with a free 12 inch snow shovel from the video. i will raise the boots to max for my driveway. 🙏

[@paso193]

I like everything about it except that it throws the snow forward instead of the side....stuff like that.

[@Ruger-2021]

I totally agree, You just need to find a rhytm to making it work this way.

[@AK_Vortex]

In your opinion, could this unit be taken up on your roof and handle say... a foot of snow?

[@Ruger-2021]

I wouldn't try it unless you have a flat roof with a parapit. Depends on the snow type, a foot of wet snow is heavy and will go thru batteries quickly. I am not endorsing you going on your roof with a piece of equipment

[@missionscrapprwill7530]

So Did You Buy A Handle Extension For The RYOBI 40 Snow Shovel? It sure looks like it. The one they sell from top to bottom is only 3 ft. That's what keeps me from buying it, I'm 6 ft & 3 in tall & all that bending over will bother my back. But it matches your height & I know from what I see in your video, it'll do me Good. Hopefully you will reply so I can go ahead get mine. Stay ENCOURAGED 😜 10:28

[@Ruger-2021]

@missionscrapprwill7530 - The review is from a stock unit. There aren't any accessories other than the battery and charger. Here are the in-use heights. Main handle 36" from the ground and the hook/lower handle is 32 1/2" from the ground. Hope this helps. I'm 5' 4" and have to bend slightly

[@scarce911]

Are you looking at the add on attachment for the ryobi expand it version...which is basically multi attachment unit that fits on the weed eater motor/shaft

[@Ruger-2021]

@@tinman3505 Maybe so, but I bet he exerted much less energy while enjoying watching you lift and dump heavy loads of snow.

Did he know you were racing? Also...tell your grandma with arthritis and brittle bones that she can get it done 3x faster If she puts her back into it... have you heard of work smarter, not harder?

Ryobi has not good design with switchers in their tools - when you take battery out you can accdentally press the big long button to switch it on.

[@robertkat]

Useless in wet snow.

[@Ruger-2021]

@@robertkat it’s designed as a campaign to a real snow blower. With that said, I was amazed of how much snow it moves. Just watch the whole video. Even some gas powered snow blowers don’t like the wet heavy stuff.
