Ryobi Deals & Offers

Don't ask me why they call it cordless, must be some mystical magical tech.

cordless?

Good deal & voted hot. Just be aware this has a much bigger footprint than the standard charger.

also .I managed to get a 5.0 battery on Ebay for 40ish...but also got a flouron one, I think, from Gearbest. similar price..does the job...but I'm only a diyer, they are not used every day

yes...there is duty but it still works out so.much cheaper...Ebay estimates it I think.. my only regret was not buying the 10 piece version, I rate it that highly. worked out alot cheaper.

Did you have them sent from the states? :)

worth buying the sets from USA.. bought set of 6 there and have been adding to it..

Hi, I own 3 drills as it is, one of them is a Bosch Professional. The drill I want to buy next, is an impact drill but I am tempted, especially since the 5.0 batteries cost £75 each. I have seen some of the alternative batteries, 5.0 cost about £35, great reviews but I am hoping the batteries prices come down. But thanks for the heads up.

Three to five small trees and this piece of sh¡t will be junk. Too much plastic. It's ok for small use but truly it's a disposable chain saw.

I have one of these. Think I paid around £80 a year ago with staff discount from Argos. Easy to use. Powerful, no issues of petrol powered chainsaws and much safer. Ideal if you’re not working in a large areas

less power = if kickback occurs, the recoil won't be as great. Still advise getting the safety equipment and watching a couple of youtube video's on how to minimise the chances of kickback.

Maybe be careful using the term “safer”

Deadly in the wrong hands especially kickback!!

Amazing price. If you are already in the ryobi ecosystem this is a must! I didn’t NEED it but now I can’t wait to clip in my battery and blow away a leaf or two.XD

It gives old people who need things to fill their day something to do. I have a lot of trees in my garden. Use a mower on the grass and then a rake for the rest. Will take half the time and save you a load,

Can confirm my battery did melt in the mower after only 1 week. Homebase rightly gave me back all of my money. Never again. Got a petrol one from Screwfix and has not dropped the ball even once after nearly 3 years now.

Is this any good? Never seen point of blower. Always thought you needed one to hoover leaves up rather then just blow

Noooo waaaaay! That's awesome! I can get some Ryobi garden tools now. Thanks for the heads up, really appreciate it. Where did you see that available? I'll have a Google.

For anyone who has never used a nailer I'd recommend watching the following video. The part about using a nail gun starts at one minute five seconds.

Mine is due Monday :-)

Mine has just arrived. I can honestly say, what abit of kit!! Tryed a few scrap bits of timber and it was effortless. Can’t wait to start a project with it now.

Trade account holders only. The average joe can’t buy from them.

(highfive) Cracking piece of kit the lop saw, fire is still burning now !

I know was just kidding (cheeky)

There was. I’ve just picked up the brush cutter and chainsaw for £18 each. All sold our now though.

There's no need for anyone to go to this branch looking for these now.

So, what do you need to attach it to?

Good to know, thanks for the heads up @Pascalini

Similar one being sold at Lidl this weekend for 39.99 too but obviously this one is a known brand.

Ryobi Customer Service is garbage. Messaged them a week ago and still no reply. Least I'm only asking about screwdriver bits. My concern now is if Homebase go belly up, I can see Ryobi itself been no use in a warranty issue

Hmmm, what’s guarantee?

Messaged Ryobi UK to see what they can do for me as it's not really Homebase fault and all they can offer is a refund Alnwick store had 1 left which they presume was the display model. If you reserve online Homebase send a text to confirm it's ready to collect. If it's not there they come back to you.

I would call to confirm stock before making a trip. Sevenoaks shown as having 5 in stock. Absolutely none on shelves when I got there and staff told me their computer told them they actually had 6 but couldn’t find them either!

It should have them, not the end of the world as only worth £1-£2 but I'd complain anyway

Get the husky one I’d say.

Hurrah Safety Brigade Brigadier...you are back in the fold and we are lucky to have you (y) I am a special person, and observant, but don't worry I'm not stalking you...yet. I was looking for chainsaw deals and noticed your rapid flip flopping...which made me giggle, so glad you took my comment with good hummer. Now go run your Brigade with honour - there are people on here that need your input!

You are so right. I have not only betrayed those careless people, and myself but worst of all - you. Please be careful with one of these. It’s not a toy, it’s dangerous. It can have your limbs off in seconds. I can see you are a special person, always researching matters deeply. Just be sure to stop stalking me please.... 8)

The Safety brigade...you realise you are referring to your historic self, as on Sep 4th? Yet in two days, you seem to have moved to the dark side and developed a cynicism for H&S & PPE and the Brigade. You've walked away from the people who wanted to protect you...the same people who you wanted to protect! What happened to you? You've Changed!I preferred the caring you...come back! https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/husqvarna-236-14-chain-saw-129-amazon-oos-dispatch-1-2mths-3037467 "Once you learn the startup routine this is a superb tool. Just be sure to buy the safety gear too!"

Cue the safety brigade.

You'reNot seriously going to tell me that's down to the new regs are you? Haha! Apart from anything else, the majority of people are still using the vacs they owned before the new regs. If it IS down to the new regs, people are buying the wrong vacs. New ones have just as much CLEANING power as old ones, they just USE less power. That's because the manufacturers have had to become less sloppy in the way they design their machines, focusing on improving airways, filters, heads, etc., in the same way that car manufacturers have improved aerodynamics and so on. You're the one whose understanding is out of date.

I think you might want to update your understanding in this area. The UK has seen a dramatic increase in carpet beetle infestation since these regulations were phased in for vacuum cleaners.

The quoted wattage refers to the power it consumes and often bears little relationship to the effectiveness of the tool. It's the same with many products. Had to laugh at all the people who rushed out and bought "powerful" vacuum cleaners before they were banned, when all they were doing was increasing their electricity bills.

does this ryobi fit my petrol ryobi?

All three of these models are 240v mains powered.

Does this have a roller to leave striped patterns?

I have the 1600, can't fault the cutting. Only issues with these are the plastic it's made of can be flimsy, and they're not balanced the best, when the grass collector is filling it becomes back heavy and falls back onto the grass collector when you let it go. But as I said, cuts well and the multi heights are great for the first cuts after winter.

i think its already applied as no code is showing https://www.homebase.co.uk/deals/garden-deals

When I clicked it showed higher £70 odd number but it’s showing correctly now.

Discount is already applied.

20% off deal at Homebase appears to have ended so I'm expiring this thread.

Yes

Is the 20% off already included in the advertised price?

Depends what you're screwing. Don't use it on equipment eg metal on metal screws/machine screws etc It's excellent for driving wood screws into timber, especially turbo screws with no pilot . They are also excellent for removing timber screws, old rusty ones etc. If you use the correct bit you won't strip the screw. can also be used as an impact wrench but you can buy specialist tools for that It's very noisey

Yes it can - that's its main use really but it comes into its own for really tough jobs which a regular drill-driver couldn't manage, eg lots of people recommend them for putting those long screws into decking without difficulty. I haven't used mine in anger yet but at this price decided it would be a good addition to my Ryobi kit and I'm sure it will prove useful before long.

This isn't the case with Ryobi, their batteries have been interchangeable since day one, and you can run original ni-cad tools on li-ion batteries and vice versa (I think you may need an adapter to go one way). The trouble is they screw you on battery and charger prices, so what seems like a good deal in the first place quickly sours when you need a new battery. Take the original post- the two 2.5ah batteries are worth £80 apparently. I won't claim to know all the different brand's prices but I know you'll be paying less for more with Makita, Metabo and Milwaukee.

have reserved thanks OP

Not going under quite yet only 42 stores so still another 200ish to go.

I mainly buy DeWalt or Bosch Blue. For the DIYer Ryobi are a good brand but you need to be aware for many cheap brands they change the design of the batteries so 3-4 years down the line when your batteries are goosed you can't get replacements although the power tool is still in good shape.

That's my boy
