my bd pressie!

Actually my first choice is the Milwaukee M18 but they are like $100 more.
These Ryobi are quite well built, just got them fully charge. Just in time for my tyre rotation.

Yeah, the lithium will just work work work and suddenly dont work. So i bought a twin pack batteries to be safe.

265 Nm is pretty good for lithium batteries

Got an air compressor with ratchet and all bits, impact wrench, drill, multi purpose cutter (pretty bad quality but i guess its only meant for hobby on small wood) paint sprayer, tyre inflator, few other attachments i cant think of right now, for about 300 bucks. Comes in handy for all the auto work but i havent used it as much as id hoped but when i do get my mechanic on its a breeze

Just need a few of those car stand things that you roll up onto/ramp thingies lmao or a mechanical hoist (like the one linked to ben on FB today) that will raise it enough to crouch under there/get tyres off etc - would be handy for the track car i could start ripping the driveline out.

But yes back on topic - good little purchase, expect to be a favourite now

Air powered setup are definitely cheaper, but unfortunately i live in the city with a cage garage and the noise of the compressor will rattle the whole parking lot.

but yeah, i quite like this Ryobi product, they have quite a huge range of other products which shares the same battery which looks so cool in lime green!

The wrench with the 2.4Ah battery is a tad heavy i have live with that.

Nice!

Yeah that Ryobi range also includes a whipper snipper!

Agreed!!!

How times have changed, 10 years ago you'd be lucky to find an electric screw driver that could burr a screw head!

Not a fan oh ryobi gear myself but guess that's just my opinion... Still as long as it does what it's supposed to, it's all good!

Just bought a set of super cheap auto 31 pcs impact sockets for $50. What a bargain!

Did all 4tyres rotation earlier today and it took mere minutes! The battery gauge still shows green (meaning lots of juice left.
