I’ll start off with suggesting we finally get cordless drills and drivers. We’ve been umming and ahhing about it for a while and I think we should just start simple and small. We don’t need to get every single wireless tool. Just start with what we need/would use very much: Drill and driver.
Ryobi: We already have a Ryobi reciprocating saw so perhaps we stick to this battery system. Far more expensive though. $179 Just a driver + 2 batteries+charger
We also do have a small wireless drill kit already but the battery seems to be dead from lack of use. So perhaps we see what brand this is and get that running with new batteries and a driver?
I just dropping in when I’m in town these days, so take my suggestion as just that.
Personally these days I think it’s well worth the small amount more to get the brushless version of whatever system is chosen (IIRC the Ozito drill was $20 more). Particularly for a drill or impact driver. The extra power and battery economy I believe is well worth the additional cost.
So we just had a drill and driver donated. I set the batteries to charge last night. It might be easiest for the short term to just buy new batteries for these ones if they’re dead. The drill is Ryobi the driver was something else I can’t remember.
So the drill that was donated was a Ryobi Impact drill. But the battery seems dead.
Now I understand everyone has the brand they want to push for us to expand on. But currently we have a Ryobi impact drill and a Ryobi reciprocating saw. Both of which are currently useless without working batteries.
So I propose, just as we would replace a broken saw blade, we buy at least 1 battery to make these oporational.
I am more than fine with buying a ryobi battery or two. However do we want to print one of these to make sure the tools work? I have an xfinity battery or two and I would like to make sure the tools work before we spend a $150 on a battery.
