Please help a little lady decide on a drill for bricks.

Hi all! I am trying to decide on what drill to buy primarily for home DIY drilling into bricks. Now, keeping in mind that I’m a small framed female in her 40’s with not a lot of strength or drill skill proficiency. I basically want to be able to install things into brick work. I am tossing up between these three models based on limited experience. I like that there is a corded SDS model because the internet told me that an SDS drill that is corded is a good thing?! But there are limited features on it from what I can tell (can’t put it into reverse etc). I’d also have to go out and buy SDS specific bits too. The brushless high torque hammer drill has that funky handle - which would be good for my limited brute strength right? Is that basically one step up from the basic compact hammer drill? This is like learning a new language. I don’t want to spend much more than these models either as it’s just for occasional home use. But I do want one that isn’t going to make my back sore because it’s crap for brickwork either (or for a user who’s not a bulked up tradie!). Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

This deal on the compact driver seems worth it, right?

Weekend warrior with an upcoming deck project and been in the market for an impact driver for a while. Waiting for on of them to be on sale and this seems worth it.

What’s your experience with reconditioned?

Ryobi compact impact driver bit stuck

Left for a month, came back to find someone had put a traditional bit into my driver, instead of the ones it’s supposed to use.

Wife and kids all insist they didn’t do it, but my workbench is also a complete wreck so someone is obviously lying.

Anyone know/have tips on how to get the thing out?

cordless Stringless trimmer

I assume you do not carry a cordless and stringless trimmer ? I hate string trimmers and would love to have a took that does this. Kind of like an edger that goes on its side but with a blade without a dang string.

Old lanyards from eBay

I found an old video that described these clip-in gadgets that let you add a lanyard strap to a tool so you could hang it on a wall. Ive got a couple of hand vacs that have no good place to live so I thought putting them on lanyards would work.

Went to buy them online and found nope, they were discontinued a long time ago. But people still sell them on eBay. I found a 2-pack for $20 and figured, why the hell not.

They work as advertised, so I'm happy, but man the package that came to me would have to be classed as a "barn find". Plus I'm surprisingly bothered by the clash of the old orange-and-blue scheme with my hypergreen tools. They should really make these again.

Battery issue first use

I’m heavily invested in Dewalt and Ego products but went Ryobi on a sprayer based on a ton of research. I fully charged the battery and sprayed deck cleaner on a fence and it shutoff at some point. I assumed the battery had just drained but it would not charge. Then assumed it was overheated, but has not charged since. Battery is flashing all lights indicating a fault.

I really like this sprayer but am very disappointed in my first Ryobi experience. Is this a common issue? I’m going to exchange it and also just purchased the two battery kit with the fan included. Will the 4ah battery be a better match for this or am I’m going to regret all of it?

Can I revive these dead batteries? 18v

I have 2 of these 18v batteries that won't charge. The power gauge for both flashes 3 bars. They won't power tools.

Anyone have any insight? I did some searching but couldn't find an answer on this exact problem. Is there a way to save them or are they just permanently dead?

Thank you all in advance

P223 Rotary hammer just clicks

Was using this earlier today for about 30 seconds then it went into overheat protection and now just clicks with a fresh battery.

Just got it back from warranty, which it did the same thing before, so I wonder if its something im doing.

EDIT: Battery is a fully charged one that has been sitting waiting to be used. Tool has cooled down for about 6 hours between when I used and when i took video

Ryobi HP angle grinder. PBLAG02. Grinding cup sits below guard. Can I remove guard?

I need to grind some dry lock off basement walls. The guard covers the cup disc, essentially rendering half the disc useless and can only grind at an angle (hence angle grinder Hugh?). I need to be able to use the whole surface of the disc, or I’ll be grinding into the block and not just taking off the surface dry lock.

Does this mean all my cells are good?

I have a Ryobi 40v battery that stopped chaeging. I measured all the cells (10 cells) as shown in the picure.

Tried resetting but no good. Is this a sign of a bad PCB? Or a damaged component in the thermal management system?

Ryobi 7 1/4 miter saw deal

I don’t have this saw but 3 HP batteries AND the saw for 179 seems like a great deal. I’ll tell ya the dcs785(20v dual bevel 12” sliding miter saw) weighs over 50lbs and is a pita to lug around in the rare occasions I’ve had to.. I’m tempted to grab this. If I cut on a regular basis I probably would grab this. I still might

3 gallon wet/dry vacuum whining with crevice tool - normal?

I just purchased the 3 gallon wet/dry vac. I noticed that if I put the crevice tool on, the motor makes a very high-pitched whining sound. The high-pitched whining is not there without the crevice tool. I suspect this has to do with air flow restriction. However, is this normal or do I need to get a different unit?

Yeet yourselves on over to DTO and grab this $60 superfan!!!

Edit: The oscillating fan appears to be sold out online. Might still fund some in local stores if you live close enough. Plus there's still $2.50 shipping and lots of other sale items! The clippy fan is only $15. Practically giving it away!

Original post:
$60 and $2.50 shipping for 250th anniversary 4th of July sale. Plenty of other good deals, but this one is flat out RIGHTEOUS my brothers and sisters.

Older is better

Somehow, some of my black and yellow Ryobi batteries have outlasted ones I got a year or two ago. Not all of them, but it seems like most of my newer ones are toast.

Both 6ah 40volts Dead

I started a warranty claim for one battery back on May 5th and still haven’t received a replacement. In the meantime, the second battery started throwing the same code.

I found one or two Reddit threads with this error and it looks like they’re both gonners.

Anyone deal with warranties? 2 months to get a battery?

Anyone know to fix/clear the code??

Mower Recommendation?

I have a lot that is about 9000 sq ft per Zillow (including house). It has a hill that is pretty large in the back yard. It takes me about an hour to cut it with a gas mower.

I'm trying to determine what my investment would be to be able to mow the same space and if Ryobi is up to the task. It seems like EGO is the most recommended brand for cordless mowers, but the price is insane. I have a lot of 18V Ryobi stuff that has been pretty good to me, and warranty issues have been mostly easy to resolve, so I have been curious about Ryobi's mowers.

Suggestions? Thoughts? Issues? How many batteries and what size can reasonably get through a yard of my size?

How to clean the hand vacuum?

I twisted the part to unlock the filter and take off but how do you get the thing under that off? I can’t get the second part out to dump out the dirt. I can’t figure it out! Haven’t come across any solutions on youtube or reddit to show how to do it. Thanks
