Don’t blame me if you try this and burn your tools, hands, house etc. You don’t get the battery clicking and retaining into the Ryobi tool, but a bit of velcro strap sorts that out. I reused the connection wire from the Ryobi connector and soldered it to the Makita terminals. If I needed it more permanent I’d have used expoxy. Then married the 2 up with a bit of sanding and grinding and used hotmelt to join. The Ryobi battery comes to pieces nicely and you can chop off and reuse the protrusion that goes into the tool. Then chopped the Makita tool just above the battery housing. I bought an old Ryobi battery for £10, and the cheapest Makita tool I could find (usually an old incandescent torch, or sometimes the housings can be for sale on their own). It is better to use the “B” style batteries with the LED gauge on the front, and be REALLY careful not to run them down much past half way. So far I have the cordless glue gun and the car/airbed inflator. I made an adaptor to use Makita batteries on Ryobi. Does it take up too much space for storage? Realistically, does it take up much more space than a push broom? I’m trying to think of reasons why someone for use of a tool like this might not to get one. And the brushes are replaceable too, at least according to the user manual. 2 hours of runtime, a 4.5 gallon tank, and LED lights? Looks like they dialed things in nicely. I haven’t seen this in person yet, but it looks like a home run. The name, though – a verb? “Devour.” It seems like “Devourer” seems more appropriate. I can imagine someone saying “I wish I had an easier way to clear up all these wood chips and other debris that I can’t just vacuum up,” and then *poof* there’s the 18V cordless Devour. Ryobi keeps giving me the impression that they’re up for designing and building anything, and that’s a good thing. More Info(User Manual PDF) First Impressions Price: $139, battery and charger not included The Ryobi Devour sweeper can be stored upright, with the handles folded and facing up. If that happens, take the battery pack out and clear the obstruction. What happens of the Devour gets clogged? The motor will stop automatically and the LED headlights will flash for 10 seconds. You can also adjust the handle length, for comfort. There are bristle deflectors, on the left and right side of the unit, and also and adjustable brush height control knob which lowers or raises the rear caster wheel. The battery port is at the rear of the sweeper, as is a foot-operated on/off botton. "RYOBI" is a trademark of RYOBI Limited and is used by TTI Consumer Power Tools, Inc.It has a large 4-1/2 gallon tub, which removes easily via a centered grab handle. Ryobi 18-Volt 15K BTU Hybrid Forced Air Propane Heater Review P3180 Thank you to Moze for the heads-up and for the photo! Overall, the Ryobi Air Cannon fan looks to be a decent new release, adding to their vast line of DIY-centered cordless power tools. It does come with a power cord, and you should be able to source a longer one if needed. Ryobi doesn’t mention runtime, but early user reviews claim to get 25 mins with a 1.5Ah battery, and 2-1/2 hours on a 6Ah battery, both at the high speed setting. It’s a 3-speed hybrid-powered drum fan with plastic and metal construction and a logical design. There’s nothing too surprising about the new Ryobi cordless/corded fan, aside for its size. Ryobi advertises that the fan will help to provide comfortable temperatures during power outages. The fan can be placed on the floor, and there is also a keyhole-style screw mounting hole in the base for securing it to a wall.Īdditional features include a 3-setting speed dial, and adjustment knobs that lock the fan head at the desired angle. Larger fans can be slower than smaller ones and still move a lot more air. I’d guess that it means the fan speed is limited to prevent excessive noise. Ryobi says that it has “quiet air movement technology,” but doesn’t clarify about what this means. It can be powered by Ryobi 18V One+ Li-ion battery, and it also comes with an AC cord for plugging it into a wall outlet. The new Ryobi hybrid-powered Air Cannon drum fan features 220° head rotation range, and can provide up to 2400 CFM of airflow. They also sent over a photo of the new Ryobi cordless fan next to Dewalt’s, and the size difference is substantial. Not sure how you release the largest, most powerful cordless fan on the market this quietly, but here it is. Just came across them at my local Home Depot. Haven’t seen a bit of mention of these anywhere. Moze sent over a heads-up about Ryobi’s new 18V 18″ cordless fan, called the “Air Cannon,” P3340.
