Ryobi Silent Shredder Review and Election Coverage 2016

[@cwmbc]

the UK instructions for adjusting the guide plate are...run the machine. then adjust the plate untill fine alloy shavings come off the plate....machine set... works every time.

[@karldias1415]

Flip the box upside down and lift off the box lol. I did not know ryobi made those. I got one from sun joe in the US. Love it.

[@seanregan3256]

A great demonstration of the product best one online so far. I probably would get this one after watching it.

[@bashkillszombies]

You literally did the one thing the box had a giant warning against. Good job. :P

[@antraciet]

Update : broken adjusting plate : i fixed it (temporary) with a simple bolt. The plate broke on the point where screw touch that plate for adjusting, with a bolt i could make the surface bigger, so it can control the adjusting plate. But i think it a serious construction error. When my work in the garden is done, i am going to make a steel adjusting plate.

[@tiffanienguyen7174]

They do not have it in Canada ☹️😓

[@alvint4944]

is this machine good for making mulch?

[@KahlilAngeles]

hello have you tried banana stems? that were cut small enough so they can be fed the the machine?

[@christophersmallbone6101]

OK so a lot quieter than most but hardly silent as the name claims. In general I like Ryobi stuff the sanders and drills are good for a cheap range product. in the UK available at Bunnings and Home base.

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

Australia, New Zealand and relatively recently the UK

[@christophersmallbone6101]

@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL The Bunnings parent company Wesfarmers bought the UK DIY store Homebase for £340 million UK pounds it then relaunched the first 24 of the 152 Homebase shops as Bunnings and it was a total disaster. having lost in excess of £230 million UK pounds they then sold the 152 stores to a UK investment company for just £1 and are no longer in the UK market.

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

Thanks for the info Christopher, I hadn't realised they had gone tits up.

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

@ Hudson... I was thinking about it, but might get a bit toxic.

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

Well that sure was entertaining America!

[@cjgramos6579]

Good day! Do you think it can accomodate Cassava roots/crops and shred it down into pebble size pieces? Happy Holidays btw

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

I think it would, but just remember it can only cut stuff with a diameter of less than 45mm. Merry Xmas!

[@bashkillszombies]

Are there ANY mulchers or wood chippers on the market that aren't hugely underwhelming? I swear to god in the last ten or twenty years our tool technology has gone backwards as costs have dropped.

[@Ed1Ward]

I've noticed that

[@shixtr]

Hey mate, I’m planning on getting this and was also looking at the Morrison shredder from Mitre10. Still going well?

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

It is but you have to know it's limitations. I do use it every week however. I have made a couple of little mods to it. I don't think they sell this particular model anymore, so I don't know what the new one is like.

[@LibertyLeslie]

I read they wont do bamboo and they wont do long fiber green branches...they have to be dried out.

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

Yeah not great with bamboo. Pulverizes it but does not chop it into nice little pieces. It takes some experimenting to see which plants it does better green, or dried out. Overall once you have the blades dialed in just right it is very good, quick, and quiet.

[@PunaJussi]

Amazing topic!

[@kidkaeo]

Child proof box :) Reminds me of one of Aesop's Fables The Crow and the Pitcher "This fable shows us that thoughtfulness is superior to brute strength." Turn the box over dude :}

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

I didn't want to tip it upside down in case I damaged something, but yeah, it would have been a lot easier.

[@yopekok5448]

This looks too complicated to get it right. The automatic feed is very good. But the shredding is not great.

[@thecrookedsniper1217]

Do you think this could shred aluminium cans without hassle? Cheers.

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

I will try it today as I have some shredding to do. Why do you want to shred cans? And how shredded do you want them?

[@thecrookedsniper1217]

Tools & Stuff I want to melt them down into ingots, my crucible is a bit too small for whole cans. Chip size - anywhere from 1cm to 4cm would be ideal. Thanks mate! 🍻

[@thecrookedsniper1217]

Tools & Stuff gday mate, how'd you go with the cans? Any luck?

[@ETXWheelsinMotion]

Where did you buy that I can't find it in the us

[@antraciet]

Very good, and don't buy that thing. I bought it, and for the 2nf time the adjusting plate broke. Clearly there is a construction error on that aluminum plate. I have warranty, yes, but i don't bother them anymore. Maybe i fix it with a steel plate or something.

[@evanhil02]

It’s not made for the US. It takes 240 volt power; I’m not sure what plug type.

[@laniakea2162]

Hey there. How’s it going now? Do you still use it now in 2019?

[@CockatielCompanion]

Used it today. Still goes fine.

[@Golo1949]

Should you be playing with machinery?

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

Should you be commenting on KZbin?

[@Boodieman72]

Doesn't make very small chips.

[@bashkillszombies]

Why are all these shredders and mulchers so bloody substandard? Even the one grand ones have output that looks like a eighty buck chinese knock off. Fuck it, I'm building my own. I'll use a grate so that anything that doesn't shred well will go into fire kindling, the rest will go into the compost and back on the yard.

[@szarol]

Hej, ryobi still working ??

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

Yep, was using it the other day. Best Ryobi tool I have ever used.

[@szarol]

Tools & Stuff - I got it after watch your video - and I am satisfied enough.. Thanx !!!

[@5wisher5weet]

Quest...be careful of litigation!

[@DovileDrulyte]

is so Hard knife shedder

[@terencemcculloch3294]

Put a foot on either side of the box and wiggle up.

[@dmaifred]

Bloody kiwi, always spot the Jandals.

[@8880Dingo]

hi all shreders are not good for parm trees

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

Yeah I know, bummer that.

[@Ed1Ward]

What about the ryobi mulcher

[@natureboy6410]

Great big F- on this one!

[@u3962521]

i have a flat playe shredder from ryobi... piece of junk

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

Most Flat Plate Shredders are junk. I have absolutely thrashed this thing since I got it and with a little fine tuning every now and then it chews through stuff great.

[@5wisher5weet]

Don’t operate machinery while inebriated Jk

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

Thanks for that.
