"I got a job I don't give a F#@%" Best line in the whole video. THanks I actually enjoyed the no BS review

I just took one of these apart with some confidence thanks to having watched this a while back - and I actually managed to fix the thing. It had been in use for about 3 years already. As best I can tell, it failed because the oil inside had gotten so sticky and old that the motor was going into overload protection due to the increased resistance. I oiled everything back up and it is back to work! Thanks for the video!

Prosumer: "It's almost like these guys just sit around and make up new words! And no, the irony is not lost on me." Masterful.

I'm just a Yorkshire man in is shed watching another man in his shed half a world away 🤘🏻👌🏼🖖🏻

For those Aussies (not Austrians) playing along at home... Techtronics have done the same Ridgid deal with Bunnings, except that they're branded as AEG. So Bunnings are the exclusive distributors of both Ryobi and AEG/Ridgid here. Could be worse than Ryobi, though. Could be Ozito. Or 909. Or Worx. Or Wesco.

I grabbed one of these for $119.00 with a gift card. I had the 18v hammer drill with batteries so.. I figured it might be worth trying yet I doubted it could make me happy... I can now say that after trimming a friends' house, I did my mothers, another friends and my own. All new baseboards, doors, you name it. I'm blown away that this Ryobi is so damn good!

Rule of thumb, never buy a tool AvE hasn't dismantled. At least that way you know what you are really getting.

Someone needs to make an "AvE Camera Troubles" compilation video.

I'M THE WINNER OF THE FEIN GRINDER!!! just received it a few days ago and its skookum! thanks alot AVE!!!!!

Ive been using this brad nailer for 6 years now. Ive done a lot of baseboard jobs. Its still holding up 🤞🏻

I'm am so thankful for your style of reviewing products. I'm not very mechanically inclined and in a week I've learned more about tools, the motors that run them and I'm simply far more knowledgeable than I was just 7 days ago. The power of not being controlled by sponsors of course flows into all aspects of our lives. The marketing of everything from music to pet food falls in the same category. I don't wanna make this a novel. I just wanted to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing what you know, think and believe.

I love these Ryobi One+ tools for around the home. They are affordable and have a decent warranty, and they get the job done. For work, I tend to gravitate toward SnapOn and Makita.

I've purchased this nail gun last year... Stop working after 4 months... After watching this master piece.. I tore it apart.. found that the o-ring on the cylinder head was off and torn... Easy fix...

Wow. Nigh 10 minutes-ish before he actually broke open the tool. Longest "intro" I've ever seen by AvE. Please don't jump the shark. This has become my favorite place on the Ytube.

In your calculations you forgot to account for volume of flow, the strong magnet on striker means it can have a break pressure of 40psi, then accelerate to a rediculous level while consuming the volume of air available.

In my years working as a tool repair technician, I've actually seen the "o-ring behind the wear ring" trick fairly often. It provides a steady pressure against the cylinder wall to ensure maximum performance and maximum lifespan of the wear ring. Kinda smart, if ya tinker on it. 😉 As to the filled *pits,* I believe that if you ground that thing apart, you just might find some ballance weights in there. We had a big Gaylord (reinforced cardboard box) that was full of those *aluminum* housings which we would, upon its filling, take to the recyclers for a pretty penny. There's a lot goes into those housings and, your correct in that it's the strength of the whole tool, giving reinforcement to the shell and everything else. Anyway... We had one fellow who, upon his second trip to the "Doc in the box" to have a nail removed from his hand (you'd think he'd learn to keep the pointy end pointing elsewhere, by then...) was informed that if it happened a third time, he need not bother returning to work in the afterwards. Twice in as many months, I believe his sneaking out the back door before taking the mandatory drug screen just might have had something to do with it. 😆 🤣 "Clinker" makes me think of two things... 1, when I'm working on my coal forge, the fellow smith's out there will commiserate and 2, the infamous scene from "A Christmas Story" when Daren McGavin is fighting with his great nemesis, the coal heater in the basement. 😀

I use one of these all the time. Great for jobs where you need to do trim work but do not want to drag around a compressor, hose and pnematic brad gun. Boss had to send it off for repair once when he first got it but no issues in years.

Thanks to you, you have changed the way I look and see things. Thank you for that. Now I look to see how it was milled or what it was made of.... Thanks

"When you got the 'meat hook abortion' goin there, it doesn't feel so nice." I subscribed for the commentary alone, the educating bits are just a bonus.

I don't need any power tools, I am not in the power tool industry, I am not an manufacturing engineer... but I find these videos fascinating.

listening to AvE is almost like listening to Richard Feynman. An entertaining explainer.

My Ryobi drill and impact driver have been going strong for 4 years with regular use. Zero complaints.

Thanks for all the recommendations to other channels, you've increased my desire to learn more about the world surrounding us and for that, I thank you kind sir!

when i run out of things to watch on youtube, i come back to this channel. thanks ave

We need Ave Dictionary Edition 1

I have excellent luck with Ryobi 18 volt tools and have used them for 10 years without a problem. I get about two years from the batteries and I send them back and the three year warranty covers the replacement all you do is pay a small fee and shipping.I have not had a problem with any of the tools that get used almost everyday. The guys that work with me have gone through almost every brand over the years except the Ryobi.

Sorry...didn't go through the thousand comments to see if this has been answered: at 22:05 the question about the potting in the piston asked, and it's there to increase the compression ratio....an old trick in the airgun business to increase performance on a piston gun. VERY entertaining video...thanks for the education.

Take a drink when he says Buna-N. You know it's coming.

Thats why i watch this guys reviews hes straight up and has nothing to gain plus he is a trip to watch and listen to

You are a human version of an unbiased google search. Also the only person that is truly over qualified for 99% of any employment opportunities

Brilliant! I've just latched onto your humorous presentations accompanied with your technical skill and insight. You are now on my favourites list.

German company I used to work for almost always uses o-rings behind their wear rings. They use the o-ring to push out the wear ring a little bit, and keep a bit of pressure on the cylinder as the part cycles back and forth. would get somewhere around 2-4 million cycles (or more depending on the customer) before they needed to be replaced.

I've got got a Ryobi compact drill driver and for the occasional bit of DIY I do I'm perfectly happy with it.

By the way, your videos have a great deal of infomation and i really apreciate the time and efforts you put on them in order help consumers to make educated choices. Thank you.

This guy is speaking 6 lenguages intermixed into a bean soup of words beatiful

They say never do math on KZfaq. Meanwhile AvE is like “hold my beer”

Jesus. I didn't know I wanted a steam driven truck

I am a carpenter / builder and have been using the 16 gauge version of this for 2 years and am very impressed, comes with 6 year warranty.

AvE: you just ripped in there and dropped info left and right. I love it. This has helped me understand the tool that I already owned so much better. Thank you.

Uploaded a video during the Super Bowl. My man.

🤔 That steam wagon looked like a hell-cat spitting out a hairball Priceless puns all day long 😂 Thanks for the vid!

For around the house that Ryobi has been flawless 3 years no issues

This thing has put in thousands of feet of quarter round for me on the job. Probably one of Ryobi's best offerings.

"The tool has a very solid feel in the hand. Confirmed, woodworker." "..."

lol I've owned one of these mailers for about a year now. honestly I've dropped it many times and it's held up nice. when I bought it I assumed it would last a few months the and then I'd just replace it. I've been pleasantly surprised. also I only paid $79 at a local refurb dealer. that helped the decision. lol

Just watched it again a few weeks later, there is always something you missed the first time. Coriolis joke at 9.20. loved it. Double Boost sound like Yorkshire men

This has quickly become my favorite KZfaq channel.

My god your humor kills me RIPMSSSS. love you grandpa

I just tried to imagine kangaroos jumping around in the Austrian mountains ;-)

Don't know if anyone else has menched, but Double Boost has the classic Geordie accent. Newcastle would be his stamping ground. Cold as a nun's heart up there, rains every day of the year and twice on Sundays but LOVELY people.

that pv diagram was beautiful. learned about those 2-stroke diesels in a launch vessel. thank you

Never had a problem with the Ridgid warranty procedure. Go to HD with your part, they look it over, do some documentation, take it, and you get a new part mailed to you directly. Took about 3 weeks to get a new battery, but beats having to personally mail it in on your own dime, or buying a new one. :o)

I pretty sure that's the ryobi impact and drill I got from hd a year or two ago now. I needed to replace some stolen tools asap and was strapped for cash and they were under 100USD for the combo. I've been pleasantly surprised by them and the batteries. They finished the job I was doing and have held up to a years worth of fairly rigorous farm service. Picked up compatable bare recip saw from eBay for like 20 bucks and used the hell out of it. I know they're cheap crap but they've been shockingly good cheap crap.

wow love this channel...love these explanations and descriptions of how this stuff works and the engineering behind it and the smartass comments with it.

Nice breakdown as always...Thanks! I like my RIDGID tools and the Lifetime Service Agreement, which I've used several times. We have 3 shops in Toronto that service RIDGID tools, so I've never had to ship any back to RIDGID. The RYOBI AirStrike 18 ga. brad nailer is my first RYOBI tool and I've been quite impressed with it. The price was right, compared to others and I've put about 10,000 nails through it and never had a jam. That same Honeywell microswitch behind the trigger appears in a number of RIDGID tools also. Amazon sells a 6-pack of that microswitch for ten bucks so I keep a few around.

I heard "been anodized" as "bananadized"

Hey! Our kangaroos are skookum Robert, Melbourne via Austria

Not sure if it's your candid nature, or simply the fun camera antics (and non focusing fracus), but you sir have a great channel and I am hooked!

I had this unit for 5 years and it's working fine

Best KZfaqr Alive!!!! Can you do the hitachi brushless framing nailer????

''so you'll understand the magnitude of forces plus or minus 50% , something like that.'' LMAO!

I've got no use for tools like this, nor am I looking at buying one. but these videos are soothing. best videos on KZfaq hands down man

Your knowledge baffles me. Thank you for all the information.

Had to pause at the Double boost ad so I could go sub, looks interesting. Thanks for the suggestion. Hopefully you'll be around more often, now that you got rid of gonaherpesyphilaids.

My modifying that magnet setup I'm wondering if you could make a fully automatic nail gun...brrrrappp!

Interesting tear down mate, thanks for taking the time. Matt

Seriously, you're the best......and funniest ! Love the background stuff about how some of the premium & not so premium brands are owned by Techtronics, Hong Kong. It seems to me more like a massive branding, packaging orchestration.......fascinating.

Thanks for the mention Interesting tool that nail gun John

i dare you to open up a 20$ walmart black and decker drill.

After retiring from Black & Decker “Owner of Dewalt” I was there when they were going down the shitter management decided to put yellow plastic on there tools and put Dewalt on them and jack up the price. People went ape shit over them and paid huge amounts of money for the same Black & Decker shit. I build custom car now and don’t own a Default tool but use Ryobi tools because of they’ve price. Great videos keep it up. Love me some of Double Boost.

They work well for the diy types. My house is nearly 100 years old, was a rental for years, and I was able to half-assedly restore the house with just these tools.

i just watched a man molest and disect a nail gun for 40 minutes... and i dont regret it

Always wondered how these things work. The magnetic retention for the piston saves is a brilliant idea. It wouldn't work without neidymium magnets thoughbut.

I used that Ryobi nailer professionally for 2 years doing finish carpentry every day. I know this is anecdotal information, but its cheap and its worked fantastically. No air lines = happiness on the job site.

I have had this tool for about 5 years and was a bit scared when you started taking it apart, in case it was a lemon. I'm a 'home gamer' but I love this thing, and I'm glad to see its overall not too bad quality! Here in kangarooland 'Austria' our local hardware stores (Bunnings) love Ryobi, so I have a few of their tools..

luv the words he makes up while going through his vids. just worth watchin for that lmao!

I know they're not pro quality, but for the price point, these ryobi tools last pretty good. I know a guy who remodels homes for a living, he uses this brand because they're cheap and tools sometimes get lost. He says he gets a couple years out of the ones which don't get lost. I've got some around the house that I bought for my dad, and they've been pretty good. A lot better than the craftsman and black&decker stuff he had before. Only issue is that a couple years later one of the batteries quit accepting a charge. The nice thing is that they all take the same batteries. I know the other brands are doing that now too, but ryobi was doing it first and even the older ones will accept the newer batteries, and vice versa. I've been happy with them. They certainly outperformed all my expectations based on the price point. Once they do break, I will buy more, because we already have a bunch of batteries for them, they're inexpensive, and they work just fine for non-professional use. They seem to be the same quality as the low-grade cheaper dewalt tools. Actually, the drill chuck is better on the ryobi than my cheap dewalt drill.

I have some of the older Ryobi tools...and they still work perfectly fine. The pack came with a drill, circular saw & flashlight with 2 battery packs & charger for $50 Added a small table saw & drill press (mains voltage) for $35 each. Had to recondition the batteries a few times but the tools themselves are great.

Ive had this tool for 4 years. Works great.

"He was born at a very early age". Hat off and a bow.

I just bought one of these, now they do 1700 nails. I already had the batteries for a 15 year old Ryobi drill. Not a professional carpenter but needed a nail gun. Worked well. The thing I like about Ryobi is they all use the same battery and their charger will charge all types of batteries.

Great videos, love the commentary. And very interesting little anecdotes

AvE > Super Bowl

I love coming back to these classic videos ! This was the golden age ..... before ave became the anti wank Jesus he is today ! Thank you for the good times sir

My experience with Ridgid, I found a shop-vac on the curb for trash, well I was checking it out for the no work issue, 1 of the brushes wire was broken and I contacted Ridgid and yes I paid for shipping, all I sent back was the power unit, it costed $20 too ship, but they gave me an extra filter for my shipping cost, well in 2 weeks I received a big box at my front door, I opened it up and man O man they sent me a completely new shop-vac, a complete unit, so yes I will send back a tool to Ridgid, at time it was a win win, thanks again for sharing your thoughts and great videos

I have been using Ryobi tools for 13 years, but I do mostly residential work in HVAC, so they only see relatively light to moderate duty. I still have the first Ryobi drill I bought 13 years ago and it works just as good as day one, although not as pretty. Favorite part about Ryobi is, although they've changed batteries, the connections have stayed the same. I can use the new Lithium batteries in my old Ryobi drill and I can use my old batteries in my new impact drills/sawzaw etc.... although they don't last long anymore. Good tools, maybe not for heavy duty work, but for my trade, can't beat the value.

"Exceptionally stiff and self-lubricating, so it's a perfect choice for somethin' that's gotta chooch back and forth real fast"

ymmv but we have had amazing luck with Ryobi 18V OnePlus tools. Beats the heck out of all the others we have had that run down in minutes and bog down even on a freah charge. The Ryobi 18V weed-eaters, blowers, hand-vac, and 2-speed cordless drill are amazing...the circular saw is a bit underpowered but does nicely for the occational 2x4 here and there. Even the dewalt tools don't do that well in the ones I have tried, when I worked at a college we went thru 4 batteries just taking one door off its hinge screws and reattaching it and still had to finish by hand.

Another great and knowledgeable video AvE! 👍👍

Dude the way you talk is just mind blowingly awesome. I watch just to listen to you speak.

I'd like to see you dig into the 24v max Kobalt tools.

no dog in the hunt makes for a much better review . funny as hell too does not hurt either.

I'm interested in seeing you tear down the impact. I got that same set with a toolbox 5 years ago and they still work!

Nothing like a your tube edumacation... Materials science is normally such a hard pill to swallow, it's amazing to see under the plastic skirts and learn their composition and purpose. Thanks...

maybe they used the anodized coat on the inside of the bore to help the silicone lubricant stay on the side walls kinda like the cross hatch pattern on ICE Cylinders.... idk it's puzzling

The o ring behind the sealing band is for tension... Its very common practice

All of my battery operated tools are Ryobi brand. I've been extremely happy with them I use them on a daily basis as a contractor. Although I've never used one of their nailers I have talked to other contractors to say they've had great success with them.

AvE keeping it real on these streets.. he has conviction, that’s why I stick around. Cheers mate 🥃
