Just an FYI that if you search for “Drill Brush” on Amazon (or anywhere else) then you’ll probably find a better deal. It was one of the first things I got when I bought my Ryobi drill and it’s very handy.
Here’s one example:
Drill Brush Attachment Set - Power Scrubber Brush Cleaning Kit - All Purpose Drill Brush with Extend Attachment for Bathroom Surfaces, Grout, Floor, Tub, Shower, Tile, Corners, Kitchen and Car https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BV8MQBT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_gjp4EbYB64ZGH
You saved me a good bit of typing. I came here to recommend the exact same thing. I do a lot of woodworking from miscellaneous house projects to furniture. I use A LOT of ryobi tools for those projects and they work great, but I can't recommend their miter saws or table saws. Let's be honest, ryobi cuts corners, they have to to hit the price point we all love. While I couldn't give 2 craps if my impact takes 0.57s longer to drive a 6in deck screw, I do care when my fence is slightly off or my miters aren't true to their angle - and that's without the safety considerations you outlined too.
I agree with your delta suggestions, they are tried and true, I very highly recommend Dewalt's 10in contractor table saw as well. The fence is, in my opinion, the best on the market. It was perfect 90° right out of the box and has taken a true beating from me for the past few years. Love that saw.
(I have the 745, but I don't think you can find that one anymore, but this is the newer version) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00F2CGXGG/ref=cm_sw_r_sm_apa_glt_fabc_S690332MVGJKDBWR3J6Y?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I got tired of waiting around for a Ryobi Framing Nailer so I decided to do this instead. I got a 3D printed Ryobi battery adapter ($25) , and a used Dewalt battery ($20). I gutted out the battery and just connected the terminals accordingly. It's certainly not pretty, but it's the first mock up.
This is my friends impact driver he let me test it on. On this tool, the battery connects from the front, leaving the Ryobi battery hanging to the left. On the framing nailer, the battery slips in from the rear, so the Roybi battery would hang on the right. I'd like to figure out a way to get it to sit in the center and be solid.
I just purchased the Dewalt 20v framing nailer (tool only) from HD so that will be here on Friday to test. We are moving to a much large piece of property very soon, and I'll be building my wife a 28x32 barn for her horses. A cordless framer is going to be very handy.
As for the voltage difference, I've measured 2 Dewalt batteries and a bunch of my Ryobi ones. They all fell in the 18-21 volt range.
Go with pyrethrin. As I understand it, it's the active insect neurotoxin in plants like chrysanthemums, and it's not milky at all. I had the same issue as you at first, with milky stuff creating problems. May take a few runs on non-viscous liquid to totally get it out of your fogger's system.
You can get pyrethrin on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Bonide-Products-857-Pyrethrin-Concentrate/dp/B0035HA0AK/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=pyrethrin&qid=1625839036&sr=8-4
That is not supposed to be broken like that, and is more than a blemish. They do drip a little, and I don't know if there's a check valve, but that is likely causing significantly more dripping than normal.
No experience with DTO returns, but worst case you can buy replacement nozzles. Example: https://www.amazon.com/Assortment-Interchangeable-Spanner-Replacement-Diameter/dp/B07421F6J8
I've been using these Porter Cable ones and have had no issues. It comes with 300 of each size, and has been really handy having multiple options.
This one looks like it's about the right colour.
You kinda need both kits. The "drill and drive" kits include a somewhat random selection of drill bits along with a ton of random "drive" bits while the dedicated dill bit kits have 20+ drill bits.
I got a chuck adapter for my hex impact so I can use any style of bit, the hex drive styles come with a limited number of bits and is extremely expensive compared to the normal drill bit sets.
Might be best to just get the biggest drill & drive kit you can afford, unless you know you need drill bits. I have Ryobi drill bits and so far they've held up, for the driver bits I have a mix of Bosh and Dewalt (only use Dewalt for Phillips...their #2 is actually #2 while Bosh's idea of #2 is actually #1 and strips the screw head...morons).
This one is the same but even cheaper at $18: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08X6VQ2H3/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_HKMSE452NF8W06AA0322
With some time and technical know-how, You could setup a circuit that limits the power output when the battery is almost empty so you know when it needs to be recharged, but have enough juice to drive it back to the garage. This same circuitry is used in RC cars to prevent over-draining lipo batteries.
I have a P261 (300ft/lbs torque rating) that I use to swap wheels (I use a torque stick then hand torque to ~100 ft lbs) and it works fine provided I use a 4ah or larger HP battery. It takes a couple moments before the lug bolts move at that torque level.
I previously had a P260 (200ft/lbs torque rating) and couldn't get any of the lug bolts to budge.
Personally, I would spend the extra money on the P262 (600ft/lbs torque rating).
I've seen people do it with something like this:
Greenworks has one, but you have to buy the battery.. $327 Tool Only, $685 with the Battery! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MQNBW7X?ie=UTF8&th=1
Hmm, I wonder if you can mill an adapter to get it into a drill... I've been eyeballing that auger, but your review scared me off
Edit: found these! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08614FHPZ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_imm_703B7EXH6PKH8GTWAZY8?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
To me yes my boss has the dewalt stand with the wheels that’s similar to a hand truck, the thing is so god awful heavy and awkward it barely fits in the bed of the truck then the weight plus the saw and it not being balanced makes it impossible to deal with steps this one is about 70lbs 70lbs for just the stand, add a saw and you’re well over 125lbs. The foldable ryobi stand is about 40lbs Ryobi . For me, I like to be able to separate and carry them separate and then setup. I’m in residential remodeling so sometimes I can go to 2/3 jobs a day where I hve to load and unload and setup a few times a day. The dewalt just takes up to much room and far to heavy for my taste
I bought the same brushless set last week from amazon for $195 They are awesome! I am enjoying them so far and they seem super well made.
If you don't want the bulk of a 9.0ah pack, you can get a 2 pack of 6.0ah batteries for $139
I just bought one on Amazon. Was cheaper than the 6ah at Home Depot.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HS1BK57/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This DeWalt max XR impact driver and drill kit is on sale for $179 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01A08YKV6/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?tag=slickdeals09-20&ascsubtag=7482d9d67e1811edbd18eef2e093f6790INT&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&th=1
I used this battery adapter from amazon. The hardest part was mounting it under the car so it won't fall off easily. I ended up epoxying a piece of wood that I could drill holes for bolts in. The weight of the bouncing battery depends entirely on the strength of that epoxy. The adapter should have been 3d printed with a mounting bracket.
You call that "overboard"?
You can get an even bigger 36v inverter, and wire even more batteries in parallel...
https://www.ebay.com/itm/204037611273
https://www.amazon.com/AIMS-Power-PWRINV500036W-Continuous-Temperature/dp/B00J96LWKI/
Yes, I did miss that. Sorry.
I do have 1 40v generic from Amazon. (link below) It's listed as 5ah and I get the same amount of time out of it as my 2 4ah batteries when blowing leaves.
unless you are a contractor that needs a job site saw, corded all day. You have to be honest with yourself with infrequent use tools. It should not be a centerpiece, taking up valuable work bench space, it comes out when you have projects only.
For $269, it's solid w/ the stand included.
Although at that price you could jump to a 12inch Dewalt for $199 https://www.amazon.com/DEWALT-12-Inch-15-Amp-Compound-DWS715/dp/B07P8QTFRC/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=dewalt+mitre+saw&qid=1669260493&sr=8-2
Ryobi 10inch sliding saw used to be $150 few years back where the cost was far below other manufacturers.
Two things.
'Obsolete' is a function of computers, not tools. In computers, the hardware evolves, the software evolves, and sooner or later the old hardware can't run the new software and your computer is obsolete. Tools have no such issue. We are still working with wood and nails and screws. We are still doing the same carpentry we did in the 1950s. We're doing it better, but we're still doing the same thing. Thus you need not worry about your tool being obsolete. As long as it continues to function, it is still providing value and helping you get work done.
I would not worry about Ryobi changing form factors. They've been using the same 18v "One+" form factor since like 1996. It's become a point of pride and one of the brand's main selling points. Notice Ryobi is the only one that still has the big spike on the battery that sticks into the tool handle, but other brands got rid of that years ago? That's because Ryobi is 100% backwards and forwards compatible with batteries and tools all the way back to the origin of the One+ line in the mid 1990s. You can use an ancient 1990s NiCd battery in a modern One+ HP Brushless tool (it just won't be as powerful or last as long). And you can use a modern One+ HP lithium battery in an ancient 1990s era tool and it'll work better than the original pack.
Even if there is a form factor change, there is such a huge installed base of One+ tools and batteries that there will be supply of spare batteries and accessories for quite some time.
And even if there isn't- battery adapters are a thing. For example, here's one that lets you use DeWalt batteries on Ryobi tools. They're available in almost any combination of all the major brands.
Here's your answer-- quick connect adapter. Screw this onto the end of the Ryobi and you have an instant quick connect.
I have this one from B&D. It's pretty good. It blows and sucks but it's not cordless. For the price it's worth checking out.
https://www.amazon.com/BLACK-DECKER-BV6000-Performance-Mulcher/dp/B00FREQC10?ref\_=ast\_sto\_dp
yeah, I had to order a replacement bag because the zippers from the ryobi one just kept getting jammed. Order the replacement below, still has a zipper, but at least it's new and cheap (so I can replacement again later if it doesn't last one) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07C3LYPPL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Q72H2C7/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This will consume as little as 30w on eco mode. Can be powered by DC 12/24V, AC 110/240V, so in theory you can easily make a direct connection to your 18v battery.
I own it, it works fantastic.
OK I'm not sure if they deliver but Amazon does sell the fasteners I'm talking about: https://www.amazon.co.uk/ProPak-Multipurpose-Screws-2-Inch-000-Count/dp/B001SFDI3C/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=36J889DHCGG3J&keywords=grk+Fasteners&qid=1663009936&sprefix=grk+fasteners+%2Caps%2C183&sr=8-3
The price is actually competitive for what I pay per fastener (I tend to buy the smaller packs - this is just what I readily found after one Google search and then Amazon search).
I own this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Q72H2C7/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and you can get a rechargeable battery pack from the manufacturer. It works quite well and on eco mode only consumes 30W.
Yeah so my original plan was to adapt one of these to cover the bucket: https://www.amazon.com/Bugzoff-Electric-Destroys-Mosquito-Repellent/dp/B07CX8RBCN
The problem was I didn't have a good way to drive it from battery (didn't originally think about using a Ryobi battery) and building this thing out would be yet another project on my pile of todos. I may still investigate doing it someday.
Bosch makes quality stuff. This basic one would get you up and running, or if you are willing to spend a little more go for the 91 piece kit on the same amazon page: https://smile.amazon.com/Bosch-91-Piece-Drilling-Driving-MS4091/dp/B015SR9I4I/
it was this charger I just had to cut out the little pieces that interfered a little bit on the plug https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WVVW8DQ/ref=ppx\_yo\_dt\_b\_asin\_title\_o00\_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
For the old handles I started removing them and wrapping in something like this https://www.amazon.com/Silicone-Rubber-Handles-Fitness-Equipment/dp/B07QJCRNFM
For my newer tools I have a few of the compact HP+ paired with the 1.5 and 2ah batteries. The batteries work great for most home projects. Worst case I swap the battery for another. The compact HP+ are great because they are much lighter, especially when paired with the smaller batteries.
Yeah. OP doesn't have the soap nozzle installed.
The soap dispenser on this washer ONLY dispenses soap at LOW pressure. If you use a high pressure nozzle, no soap is mixed in.
If you want to apply soap at high pressure you'll need a soap dispenser that clicks into the quick disconnect at the end of the handle - like this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HC898GM/
> USB-C absolutely makes a difference.
You should have read what I said before downvoting...
I never said USB-C "doesn't make a difference".
I said that you can power 20v devices from a Ryobi battery directly, via a "power wheel" adapter (or anything that connects to positive and negative terminals) and a powerhead that goes from barrel connector to your desired output connector type.
I've been doing it every day for years.
> Lots of laptops are foregoing a DC barrel connector in favor of a USB-C port.
Doesn't matter. Nearly all laptops require a powerhead adapter from the barrel plug on the Ryobi "power wheel" adapter to the laptop, no matter if it's proprietary type or USB-C.
"Universal laptop adapter" kits come with dozens of powerhead types,
> Can't do what you're proposing on those devices.
Wanna bet?
As long as the voltage is close enough, and the battery / wiring can handle the amps the laptop requires.
This 3-year-old video demonstrates this, except using a "power wheel" adapter is easier than modifying a charger or jacket barrel adapter.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0PpY69kxEI
This is the barrel to USB-C adapter he uses:
My Bissel dying was part of my justification for getting the toolbox vac.
I spent too much time looking for an extractor attachment that would fit its 1" hose. Low and behold, the bissel head fits. Just need to plug a little hole on the back that was used by the old hose end.
An adapter from Makita batteries to Ryobi tools can be purchased already made for those who aren’t interested in 3D printing one. https://www.amazon.com/Badaptor-Makita-Battery-Adapter-Ryobi/dp/B07RWKQSF7
https://www.amazon.com/Wheels-Battery-Adapter-Terminals-Convertor/dp/B09MTBY6Y4/
I use Ryobi batteries to power my laptop via a barrel connector and head from universal laptop adapter. Most laptops are "19.5v", and some other USB-C devices are "20v".
Most "24v" devices like LED strips, RV appliances, etc should work too, but should use a buck converter if just says "12v" (which is more common).
And of course pretty much any low-power divices via the official 150w inverter and USB adapter.
...and? Is $40 not nearly twice as much as 25? The greenworks one works with pressure washers up to 2000 PSI with several reviewers saying they use it with higher pressure electric PWs with no issue. The small increase in diameter and slightly higher PSI certification don't -- to me -- justify $15 additional dollars (the greenworks 12 inch 2300 PSI cleaner is $30 BTW), especially when, for $15 more than the Ryobi 12-incher (and 25 less than the Ryobi I might add) you can get this gas unit AND some extension wands to make it more comfortable to use:
I'm here because I really like my Ryobi OPE, but I'm not here to stand up and say it's worth paying a premium for. These are not -- nor has Ryboi EVER been -- premium tools. They're (sometimes -- ok typically) better than Harbor Freight but in no way worth paying a premium over brands like Greenworks.
I can't imagine sticking to just one tool platform.
Ryobi is for lower-power stuff, which works just as well. I take bucket-fulls of batteries camping, to power lights, fans, water pump, laptop, USB devices, etc. Milwaukee equivalents would be literally several times more expensive (and thus more likely to grow legs), for no added benefit.
Milwaukee M18 FUEL is for tools that need more amps via large 21700 batteries, which for my needs is just the Sawzall. That battery can still put in regular duty on Ryobi via an adapter (though not the other way around).
The only question is...
Ryokee?
Rywaukee?
Milobi?
Milwaubi?
The one listed was this one which is 550cfm. It was 80 bucks for the blower, 4ah battery and charger. Offered 60 but he passed. I have the 18v 280 cfm one and it’s been working fine for me so wasn’t desperate to buy it. Did end up with the 40v expand it trimmer battery and charger for 60! Excited to try it out
If I put a long cable from the power supply to the battery, I'm not going to care very much how big the power supply is.
Looks like I could get a 40A power supply at 18V. That might do it.
There's no need to go to Ali Express, you can get it directly on Amazon from resellers like... Fapo
On a sidenote, if you want to prevent any impact damage, consider border or edging shears. I hold mine at a 45 angle to quickly do the trim.
https://www.amazon.com/Byhagern-Edging-Shears-Long-Handle-Vertical/dp/B09NPVHYXF/
Alright so here's the math you need to do.
Find the wattage that you cpap machine needs to run. It should be listed on the device. For this exercise we'll call it 80 watts.
Then multiply that by how long you want to run the machine. Assuming you want 10 hours of sleep. In this case you'll want 800watt hours
But you'll not find a watt hour rating on a battery. Those are measured in Amp hours. How do you convert between the two units? Easy. Watts = Volts x Amps. So if you are running a 12 volt battery, your battery will need 67 Amp hours. ( 800 Volt Amp hours / 12 volts = 67 Amp hours)
BUT, inverters aren't 100% efficient. Batteries aren't 100 % efficient and you do not want to discharger them all the way down. Since this is for life saving equipment I'd say you want a WIDE margin. If you assume an inverter is 80% efficient, and you want to leave a 15% charge in the battery, suddenly a 100AH battery is dangerously close to your power requirements with no margin for error. Since this is a life saving device you will want more. Also, all this math is for 1 night. If you are looking for multiple nights you either need to factor in charge time, or expand your battery pack.
Personally I'd start with 2 100amp hour batteries like these and do a trial run.
That's cool, thanks for the link!
I added a dual-port USB QC 3.0 charger to an old Ryobi NiCd charger last year. So a battery can run USB devices, and I also added external leads, to allow discharging the battery with my hobby charger.
I think the style I used offers some mounting benefits, if you have room, since you just drill a round hole. Maybe easier than making a rectangular opening, and also securing the flat charger PCB. But it's great to have options. And 2 of those for $7 is pretty nice, that's a worthwhile thing to know about.
I would look at picking up a 19.5v laptop charger. 19.5 volts is a very common power supply and would be perfect for Ryobi tools as it is right on the high end of their operating range. When Ryobi batteries are fully charged, they will put out around 20v and then drop down as the battery drains. When a battery is right at empty, it will be putting out only ~15v.
As for the power adapters, the highest wattage one I could find is a 330w, which would cover most tools. There is also lower wattage adapters for much cheaper.
So, lets say you buy the 330 watt adapter. This means it can output 16.9 amps at 19.5v. Next, you would need to figure out how much power a tool will draw. Without an adapter and a complicated setup, it would be difficult to directly measure how much power a tool is using when running. However, you can do a simply calculation. Take a 4ah battery and run it in the tool until it dies. A 4ah battery will provide 1amp of current for 4 hours. Or 2 amps for 2 hours. Basically, they're inversely proportional. At 16 amps of current, a 4ah battery should last 15 minutes. If it lasts longer than 15 minutes, you should be safe to run the tool with the 330 watt power supply.
One last issue is high current draw on startup. A lot of tools will pull a lot of current right at startup and then lower their draw once up to speed. I think one of the worst offenders may be something like the circular saw which needs to ramp up to reach normal speed. Batteries can supply a lot of amps, so this usually isn't a problem for them, but power supplies often cannot act as fast. If I was building this for tools that pull a lot of juice, I would probably try to integrate in a startup capacitor into the adapter. It would take additional skill and work to do, but you may end up with a better result.
Sadly I imagine it doesn’t work very well. This thing works on the same principle and the reviews are abysmal: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PB78RT8/
I think you should get your family some small fans, and if they’re still complaining just leave to go fishing.
It's not Ryobi and it's the only thing of its kind I was able to find among the major brands, so I made an exception. This is a great tool. I just love this little thing. https://www.amazon.com/DEWALT-DCF601F2-Brushless-Cordless-Screwdriver/dp/B07TXN17NS/ref=sr_1_1?crid=35AHXP4YIJJ8E&keywords=DeWalt+12+volt+screwdriver&qid=1656659350&sprefix=dewalt+12+volt+screwdriver%2Caps%2C348&sr=8-1&ufe=app_...
You can buy just the extension that will fit but honestly, you might as well just buy the pole saw at that price.
I picked up these brass connectors a little while ago: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B087LQW92G/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and seem to work fine with the bottle adapter (plastic), so I assume they work with the suction hose as it is the same plastic connector. I would try out the suction hose, but we're under restrictions, so I'm not allowed to wash my car at home which was the place I was using the washer.
I had picked up a number of the plastic ones, but the last time I used the washer, the plastic end in the washer snapped.
The brass connectors don't have the "stop when not connected" feature that the Melnor plastic ones had, however.
Nice mod, bu you can find the correct wire clips on Ebay and Amazon as well.
I'll have to pull the speakers I ordered when I get home did it from my desktop!
Overture's grass green matte PLA. They also sell a grass green PETG version as well, but I haven't tried it. It's the closest match to Ryobi's colors I've found, and it prints super easy

/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_0RHK7NM9G14AKF9ACFJX
I think it would work pretty well, it would do at least 90% of the pressure needed and quick. I used to do a large inflatable boat and rigged up a 2 pump process, 1 was high volume but not enough pressure, then top it off with the regular pump.

I think I am going to use a regular lamp, and purchase 12-64V E26 Base 7W LED Light Bulbs to use with the P119.
Only thing I do is flush it with some pressure washer pump saver when I'm done.
Probably several ones out there but I use the Briggs & Stratton one:

Not really... just bought something like this:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09839SHRK/
and replaced the battery. i did add a 10a fuse inline like this:
and cut a hole in the hood to mount it on top to make it look like a supercharger. it was inside for a year but the constant opening and closing of the hood and moving around of the wires kept wearing down my connections. moving it to the top made it faster to change batteries and limit the motion of the wires inside.

Don't get caught up on the lumens. For any type of desk/hobby work these are plenty. The fact you can change the color warmth too is really handy for certain things as well (especially painting)
If you want cheaper, this one is corded and has very good reviews. I own one and it works very well. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FEATL2I/ref=ppx\_yo\_dt\_b\_asin\_title\_o02\_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1
I've been using an off brand one from Amazon with no issues that lasts about 8 min less then my original ryobi. No charging issues and the first 3 charges ain't all that. Here's a link to the exact one I purchased. Hope this was helpful.

It could be pretty large. Here's a power supply that is 230 Watts.
The only problem you might run into is that the power supply is going to be slowing at the instant power supply than a battery would be.

The charger seems like it might be off brand.

I have this model, bought it new from HD before I even knew about DTO. I love it to death and it's the best washer I've owned. I paid $150 for it then, I'd be more than happy to pay $50 or $110 for it. Honestly the amount of work I've used mine for, I'd have no problem forking over another $150 for it if I had to.
The foam cannon I use, Tool Daily not bad for $20.
As others have said it’ll be fine for a while. If you’re okay with it not looking amazing, This setup plus a barrel plug to plug into the pump will net a much longer run time. This just converts 18V DC from the battery into the 12V DC the pump takes. Compared to converting DC to AC and back to DC, it’ll be much more efficient. In the realm of 90-95% instead of best case scenario, 80% of 80%.

You can try fixing it by cutting the connector out and reconnecting the wires. (Make sure to keep track of which ones connect where!)
No need to learn how to solder. A pair of wire strippers and a heat gun are all you need if you get some solder sleeves like these: https://www.amazon.com/Kuject-Connectors-Waterproof-Electrical-Automotive/dp/B073RMRCC3
They're heat shrink with a bead of low temp solder in the middle and waterproof adhesive at either end. Just slide them on, twist the stripped wire ends together, and hit it with the heat gun until you see the solder bead melt.
I got one last year for Father’s Day and pretty much had it worn down by the end of the fall. I ordered these as replacements for mine - Ryobi 9 in. Edger Blade #638006008 (2-Pack) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KB7N3XS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Y47MBWV96AMAS3MP4ETV?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I figure one blade a summer is pretty good as I edge along quite a bit of asphalt and concrete and always seem to find rocks buried in the yard :)
Here's the one I have. It can be a little tricky to light and if you move position it can sputter a bit, but overall I'm pretty impressed with how well it works.

I saw this recently, a Black and Decker 10L water bag, with shoulder strap, $15. It's meant for their cordless power washer, but maybe the tube could be adapted to the Ryobi. Giving a larger, 2.5 gallon water source that you could carry around with you, vs a 0.5 gallon 2L bottle.
I found having it at half or lower seems to make the best foam too, if you turn it up too high you dont get good enough foam, at least not with the soaps I have tried yet.
Im gonna try this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UICCQGQ/ref=ppx\_yo\_dt\_b\_asin\_title\_o00\_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Im learning my best workflow but between this pressure washer and the leaf blower its really saving me a lot of physical labor. I basically spray it with the pressure washer first to break stuff loose, especially with the wheels and brake dust. Then hit it with the foam blaster. Use a mitt to wipe the foam around and finish breaking stuff loose that can only be done mechanically, then just rinse with a regular sprayer. Then scrub the wheels (BMW brakes are awesome but make a TON of dust). Pull it in the garage and 1.5 4Ah 40v batteries through the 525cfm blower gets 80% of the water off, then I finish it off with microfibers to get it shiny.
Shaves about 30 minutes off the time but the big thing is it saves me a LOT of bending over, squatting, etc.
I guess you could have several full 2L bottles available, if one wasn't quite enough. You used to be able to find 3L soda bottles, though I remember those being a different thread size. But if they still exist, with a normal cap size, that would give you a 50% improvement.
Also, I had just seen someone mention a Black and Decker cordless washer. That has a 10L water bag available. Maybe something similar could be an option.

We purchased that exact blade and I've run it for over 10 hours the past two weekends clearing thick, 6+ year blackberry growth out of our new property that wasn't maintained. About half an acre and the blade is going strong. I tried with the default blade and gave up after an hour before seeing Project Farm's video and making the switch.
My blades were a lot cheaper than the one you linked and I'm unsure why. I got 2 for less the one you'll get:

If you have the tools/knowhow to sharpen chainsaw chains, then get one that has chain saw teeth, not a carbide tooth. The carbide teeth aren't user sharpenable. I have this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015N8AV02
Trying a few searches I landed on this video. https://youtu.be/wxPorQrIv_Q which linked this he used in the video https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078HBNDYW which I ended up ordering because I'm tired of puttering around on the matter, will note other suggestions for when this blade wears or I decide I don't like it.
Thank you! I just got them off Amazon. Searched for pegboard shelves. These were exactly what I got, but can’t really recommend them unless you don’t mind using pliers over a microfiber (to not scratch it), to bend some of them straight as they are hit and miss in quality control.

So I also googled lime green igloo coolers (they call it acid green) and these two bad boys popped up igloo hand wash station Igloo Trailmate Journey 70 Qt Cooler
So this color is crazy. Just about perfect with the outer film on the wrap. Slightly brighter IRL next to the tools unwrapped, but not as far off as third photo looks. Can definitely see myself making some Ryobi decals in my future though. Amazon have the removable vinyl for $4 for a 12”x48” roll of removable vinyl at the time I posted this.

Looks like it's back in the Play Store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lsr.techtronic). The app is working for me again. It doesn't look like it's been updated, just reuploaded. The version in the Play store is 1.2.5 and it was last updated May 2021.

Btw, I don't get anything if you buy them, I was just excited they actually worked. Had several tools that could take belt clips and didn't want to pay $8 each from HD.
I used melamine for the tops since plywood is hella expensive right now. In the future I may replace it if I need something more sturdy. I wouldn’t say the brackets can hold 330 lbs as the specs say. I’ve have about 120 lbs worth of stuff up there and they held fine.
Not OP, but the light looks quite a bit like the Nilight 18W LED floodlights I put on my tractor. They are extremely bright, and show 9-30V input. They must have their own internal converter, because their brightness stayed the same, and the amperage dropped, as I increased the voltage while testing mine: https://www.amazon.com/Nilight-60001F-B-Flood-Driving-Warranty/dp/B00IY3YLCI/
OP, great work, and great idea! Thanks for sharing it. I don't know why I'd never considered that you could make a DIY light, this is really cool. Any more details you wanted to share, including part files, would be appreciated.
I am a total bigger and I have no clue. I am a watching YT videos and trying to figure it out.
The projects that I will do will require 2” -3” mdf prefinsihed 8 foot strips ( not sure what to call them) and make those zero or 45 degree cuts.
I will buy a brand nailer and use it to nail these mdf boards to the wall to make accent walls.

So you are saying a guy can save $$$ if you buy something like this?
I accidently bought the ones below and they just popped right into the flashlight. The really funny part about them is they come in a very nice foam cutout tin. While the regular bulbs which could break could in a plastic bag that comes in a plastic bag.
