Deals and steals

Just buy DeWalt, guys. If you keep getting Ryobi, you'll have to keep buying Ryobi. It never works with anything, and all other things are made for DeWalt in mind.

TTI owns Milwaukee and Ryobi. I'm willing to argue that some of the Ryobi tools are nearly just recolored Milwaukee tools. All my occasional use tools are Ryobi and they perform very well. Yes the batteries are different. Ryobi is one of the only companies that never changed batteries and they fit all old tools. Ridgid I think as well. I have an ancient cordless Ridgid hammer drill that I used a lot in FL to put up tapcon screws to put hangers in the garage and its nice that the new batteries work in it.

Stanley B&D is the parent of Dewalt....not the same company as Milwaukee as far as i know.

Maybe i had it backwards then i swear ryobi bought dewalt

Ryobi is ok for little stuff

Ive beat the absolute piss out of milwaukee stuff and it keeps ticking...i have killed several ryobis

But this was years ago now. I still have my milwaukee stuff from 5 years ago and its taking a beating but nothing like what i used to put it through.

Dewalt was pretty solid too. If i was going to start over id probably buy hilti this time around or makita... ive seen makitas take a beating ive never given one out to it personally though

Its all price point. I have green, red, orange and blue stuff. All good....all tough and its stuff you don't want to skimp on like Cordless Circular Saws and Cordless Battery Nail Guns, and Screw guns and Drills and multi tool.

Im sure Milwaukee is better. But I figure occasional use stuff...like jigsaw, trim router, 1/2 impact gun, lights, etc.....why pay the higher price if it mostly sits, and I buy Ryobi, batteries are WAY cheaper too so I can keep an assload of them around everywhere and never run out of charge.

The old blue Ryobi stuff was shit for sure. The newer stuff seems seems better. But I haven't used my tools like rented bitches for a long time now. Mostly just handyman stuff and the newer Ryobi stuff is good for that for sure and has surprised me at times.

Says the lower is compatible with all mcx uppers, which I would assume means it's upper is also compatible with other mcx lowers. Since you can use standard ar15 lowers on mcx uppers with a buffer adaptor then even assuming a 3-400 buck 8/1 lower, this would be a very cheap way to put together an 'acceptable' mcx for ma people... Or anyone really...

Can one of these be purchased and imported into MA post 8/1/2024? Seems like they would meet the definition of ASF?

Has just a handguard and threaded barrel as 'features' so comp would need to be pinned/welded.
Could alternately let the dealer keep the receiver and supply your own...

I mean, maybe. Or you just don't care and buy the "best" tool regardless of brand. Do I have. . . . 4 different battery platforms? Yeah. Do I care? Nah. And I have a SINGLE Ryobi tool - the finish nailer. (Wait - it came with the staple gun too - so two).

I guess if I was a GC or something, I'd worry about it. Most of us aint.

Maybe. Ryobi has never been terrible to me, but the old school blue stuff - the batteries crapped the bed too often. I was spending more on batteries back 20 years ago than tools. It was stupid. My current main battery tools are. . . Bosch, I think. I think. My track saw is Makita and I don't think the tools are compatible.

I'm not going to go out on a limb that Ryobi is yellow Milwaukee but I think internally, it's just easier to run one motor for all the tools than to have motor A for your red one and motor B for your yellow one.

I have too many diff brands at this point including Ryobi. Bought their router a while back because it was way cheaper than DeWalt. I find it super annoying that when I bought a Rockler router table, that shit was specifically not compatible with Ryobi, but with DeWalt. Had to drill counterbore holes into 1/4" thin plastic mounting plate to make it work. 3.5/4 holes are good enough for what I need my router table to handle, but I was pissed. PISSED I TELL YOU!
