[@Jon-id7ki]

I want this in the us so badly

[@riba2233]

Nice seeing your birds in the video, you could always show more :)

[@bedlam68]

Excellent video. I just impulsively bought one of these that was reduced to clear and it didn’t come with instructions. Can’t resist a bargain. Think it was floor stock. Looks amazing.

[@jarvissystems4334]

I see your using the AEG electric shears. Good choice we have that one too. Awesome tool.

[@wearsjorge55]

Does the aluminium part wear out? Can you easily replace it or is it one of those "you throw the whole thing out and buy a new one because it's almost cheaper" situations?

[@Uuuuuuurrgggggghhhhh]

Very good review!

[@72evenant35]

Cheers for the vid tools!

[@poland153]

great vid, always nice when someone else is paying for the toys lol in the US we have 120v versions but they dont have enough oomph compared to a 240v. but ryobi is making it hard not to think about giving them money. i love makita but the deals sometimes sigh

[@deefer]

I previously owned an ac one but the main problem with it was it hated greenery, had to dry everything out first to use easily. Seems they have resolved this problem?

[@prototype3a]

Are the wingnuts on the base related to how it folds up for storage? I hate seeing wingnuts to "ease assembly" instead of nylock nuts.

[@AAF2030]

Whats the thickest branch you can put?

[@thekiwinomad]

Great video. Would really like to see a 36 volt Ryobi lawnmower one and how they compare to a Makita 40 volt lawnmower

[@stauker.1960]

Yrs

[@Chris-Brown-]

I have a 36V ryobi lawn mower, works great, comparable to other petrol lawn mowers

[@nominalvelocity]

I'm surprised they even have a plug in model, I had a black and decker (I think) plug in shredder a long time ago, thing was crap, but it might have been more a fault of the scraggly branches we tried to feed it. This one looks pretty capable.

[@mikemorgan5015]

Not a Ryobi fan, but they do seem to come out with a lot of very cool stuff. I have just been disappointed in the durability of their tools in the past. I'm pretty heavily into the Milwaukee and Makita 18v platforms now and don't really want another at this time. For those warming up their fingers to tell me that TTI makes Milwaukee and Makita (edit: I meant Ryobi, not Makita here), save your comment. It's irrelevant as they are NOT built to the same durability standards. Different lines built do different price points for different customers. Nothing wrong with that. This is really pretty amazing regardless. Cool tool, great demonstration and review as usual. Edit: Curious if there is a gas powered shredder out there that uses a similar chopping mechanism. I've seen tons of really dangerous homemade ones on YT, but no commercially built ones. Seems like this mechanism with a 100 cc or higher engine would really chew some stuff up in a hurry.

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

I don't think anyone would tell you that Milwaukee and Makita are both made by TTI, seeing as Makita most certainly isn't. I'm guessing you meant Milwaukee and Ryobi.

[@mikemorgan5015]

@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL Yeah, sorry. I meant Ryobi. Must have had my head up my ass for a moment. I just mentioned Makita as one of the two battery platforms I'm on and pretty heavily invested in. I'm just not interested in a third. Eventually, I suppose I'll have to make the jump to the next generation. It's inevitable. When I do, it'll probably be the same brands unless they start making shit tools, which is unlikely. I'll try to edit that. Thanks of the video and the correction.

[@whya2ndaccount]

Will the parrots still get fed? Also I would have thought the control panel / buttons would be on the same side as the push / pull handle?

[@nelsoncarpentry]

Must be what that Makita tool is, the one you flashed a shot of in your Makita news video awhile back. Never heard of this type of tool before.

[@jankmeisters2157]

Can you make makita DHP489 review? Versus DHP486 and DHP481

[@Void_And_Absent]

YES

[@uldric]

I'd like to see the ryobi dethatcher vs a corded one. I'm on makita but was looking at getting an adapter so I can use makita batteries on the ryobi tools.

[@Bupalooga1]

I have the ryobi 2x18v dethatcher and use it solely with my makita batteries. It Goes! Will pull you forward, only ever jammed when tangled full of kikuyu runners twice. Worst case senario, did 100m2 on 2x 5ah batteries. For lightly grooming it did up to 300m2.

[@ruddigger83]

Was going to comment on threads and say I’ve got the the 240v mulcher. Takes a beating 👍

[@ruddigger83]

And now I’ve seen the battery go, I should get the battery version. Sick of running the lead down the back yard

[@bartfoster1311]

They have a 40v auger from Ryobi. Im curious how it compares to the Makita. Interesting sounding siren

[@MikeDolanFliss]

I get a lot of use out of mine.

[@Nornical1500s]

do you use davinci resolve to edit?

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

No.

[@charlesromley]

Refer Full Boar 5.6 hp B&S petrol wood chipper shredder from Bunnings

[@aroooooo]

I would like this to be released in the U.S. I'd certainly get use out of it.

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

I just stopped using it to answer your comment. It has become my favourite Ryobi tool and my favourite piece of OPE.

[@charlesromley]

Well bro that's a really good looking shredder and it looks to be as good as the ozito silent shredder that I've got, and it's excellent for small sections.....but if I were you by the looks of the size of your section I'd consider a commercial petrol powered shredder. No trying to poke stuff into a small space, just chuck it in to a nice big space....no fu@&ing around which is what you want for shredding as you've got to admit it's such a lovely job

[@aaronoconnor606]

The AC one looks like a that hole is shaped perfectly for a certain appendage to fit in sideways.

[@aaronoconnor606]

[@chrisharrell2449]

What a great idea. Im reluctant to use my mains unit unless its a very sunny day to use my my solar power here in UK as energy prices are so high at the moment

[@TrogdorBurnin8or]

Energy is power * time. The Ryobi Crushing Shredder uses up to 2400W at peak motor output, and considerably less when it's not crushing something. You're paying around 30 pence of kilowatt-hour. Running it for ten minutes with only a few seconds at peak load costs you only a few pence. Your lifetime electricity requirements for this device are trivial compared to the cost of the device.

[@chrisharrell2449]

@@TrogdorBurnin8or I'm afraid its a lot more than ten mins when I use, my mains shredder and is not a ryobi so you don't know what power it uses! If You cannot be nice why do you bother writting comments.

[@andyzobgoff6208]

Bought some ryobi cordless and petrol stuff 15 years ago and were crap so never looked at the brand again. Looks like they are heaps better now and comparable to Makita if not better. I have a NZ made Hansa electric chipper c3 and is the best non fossil fuel chipper on the planet. Most of the others are toys.

[@1972Russianwolf]

Again, Ryobi beats Ego to the market..... I have a "Super Handy" version of the corded model. Great little shredders once you know how to work it. (specifically clearing jams. Easiest way is to simply back off the blade when you get a jam, then recalibrate)

[@josem2468]

You had a southern hemisphere model. The new 40v is a northern hemisphere model. How can you tell...when feeding branches one goes left the other goes right.

[@treebossmike8818]

They are called Fronds. Leaves are on Trees. Fronds are on Palms. Palms are not Trees. They are their own classification. Biologically they more closely resemble grass than anything else. Unlike Trees, Palms have no wood. Their trunks are made up of tightly woven fibers. Anyway, would definitely say more Ryobi would be nice to see on the channel.

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

Don't tell me about palms dude, I know all about palms, that's why I know they are leaves. Never met any bontanist or palm expert that calls them fronds, and I've dealt with a lot of them. Fronds are found on ferns.

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

I refer you to page 12 of Genera Palmarum (the definitive work on the topic) for the leaf section of the structural components of a palm.

[@TrogdorBurnin8or]

"Their trunks are made up of tightly woven fibers"... Fibers of cellulose & hemicellulose bound up in lignin, forming a structure of pores, which we call... Wood. Or if you're a woodworker and need to be specific as far as workability and appearance distinctions, "Palm wood" is fine. "Tree" was never a cladistic distinction, because usage of the term predates botany & evolution, and in its Northern European etymology has always included both angiosperms and gymnosperms; It is unclear if the Proto-Indo-European root ("*deru")was present in a climate that incorporated palms, because PIE is the horizon of our etymological & anthropological understanding.

[@treebossmike8818]

@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL have you ever met and ISA certified arborist? Generally speaking when I have a customer talk to me about palms, I think once or twice I’ve explain to them that the collection of leaves that emerge from the one apical meristem on top are known as fronds.

[@treebossmike8818]

@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL you can call them what you want. And I know all about palms because I live in South Florida. I’m in climate zone 10A which is by definition subtropical. Our climate down here is not too dissimilar from your own climate down there in New Zealand yes, of course, there are differences, but we can grow numerous species of palms in South Florida much the same as you can down there in New Zealand. I’ve been doing this a long time and I’ve never heard any of my colleagues call them palm leaves they all call them palm fronds. At the same time now just like we call fuel gasoline and you call it petrol.

[@zarrow50]

can't see the point of a battery shredder as you can set up near a socket and leave it there, or petrol if you need to operate away from sockets or need a bigger unit.

[@JohnKrakatoa]

Elliet actually has had battery shredders for a while, using the Ego edrive motor

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

I know, I mention it in the video.

[@JohnKrakatoa]

@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL ah OK sorry, I stopped watching after I've seen the first unsuccessful shredding result, I have a petrol shredder Victory Tractor Europe but that has trouble with thin branches it just spits them out in a 30cm lengths so I am open to a battery or corded shredder but I don't have ryobi and it seemed very slow, but it is very quiet yeah

[@dazaspc]

A cordless shredder Nearly completely useless. Perhaps except for slicing up leeks or spring onions as long as they are not to thick. I think ill stick to my original cordless a Briggs and Stratton. Maybe ok for indoor plant shredding?

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

I was waiting for this comment from someone who didn't bother watching the video.

[@dazaspc]

@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL Sorry for the wait. I did watch it and it did manage to do as advertised however I thought the Leek and spring onion joke was funny.

[@vink6163]

I was thinking how useful it would be for a block of land I recently bought which has acres of lantana on it I'd like to chop up and compost. No power out there and a petrol shredder would be overkill for small stuff like lantana branches. So not even close to useless!

[@rbproductions78]

"mostly Catholic priests" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

I've been waiting for someone to comment about that.
