Thank you for sharing. Greatly appreciate. I was hesitant to purchase one. Now that I have seen your comprehensive review of the RYOBI RRS 1801M 18V One+Reciprocating Saw. I will definitely purchase one.

Thankyou for this review going ot get one of these myself was a bit on the fence but I already have ryobi batters for my drill/driver. Where did you see the body only for £44? Also can you tell us what the arftermarket battery you use is?

I just watched a Scotty Kilmer vid on the stuff... he gives a couple of tips on making it work better in it (remove the t-stat, find the cyllender with the offending leak, remove the plug and injector wire from there, let idle for a half hour, let cool, repeat four or five times). I am going to try it... nothing to lose.

There is no lubrication on the arms inside undo the Phillips screws and have a look that's bad.

Think it needs more power and a metal blade would be great too

How to unscrew head?

Thanks for that it may become another tool in my garage 🤔 can you drop me a link to the batteries you reference please.

Can you use as a preventative maintenance and pour it in radiator even when head gasket is still working properly? I have a 2014 Chevy Cruze is know for head or head gasket problem. Thanks again for video any feedback appreciated

Plus also you put antifreeze in with it when it calls for treatment with water only.

Why didn’t you close the coolant cap? When it literally says you should do that?

A good review.

Good vid. My sister in law gave me a Ryobi electric mower - works great - they bought a bigger one so l already have a battery & was looking at one of these as I'm sick of dealing with 2 stokes. They are about $90 aussie & with the amount of wippering l do, not much, your vid has convinced me to go grab ome.

What happens to all the steel seal? Does it remain in the system once the leak has sealed?

The replacement has faired a lot better. It doesn't run half as hot. I think i got a duff one. 😢

How is your car now?

I had a very small vacuum in the cooling system in my Hyundai Sonata, with the engine overheating constantly and the antifreeze boiling in the reservoir. I put Steal seal in, drove it for about 30 to 40 minutes and it completely fixed the problem.❤

My car was overheating running rough on start up and white smoke out the exhaust oil was fine I used steel fix and it worked no overheating since,I didn’t think it would work but it did

You need to figure out which cylinder is causing the issue by either checking the spark plugs to see if coolant is on one of them or run the engine with one of the spark plugs out at a time and disconnect the fuel line for that cylinder and then check to see when the coolant stops bubling, once you figure out which cylinder the bubling stops at you need run the engine for 30 min with that spark plug out as there will be less pressure and should seal better, there are instructions on the website as the method you used works best for external leaks not internal leaks as you have backpressue (bubbles in your coolant), hope that helps

Any updates?

I’ve got the 40V version of this. (Actually it’s 36V but in the US they can BS on their advertisements). I’ve found the motor head could really use a blowout with compressed air from time to time. Dirt and debris gets in there. I got mine used on Craigslist a few years ago after aggravation of trying to start a gas one. They run the 18V versions like you have on sale from time to time for $50 with a battery is which is not a bad deal. I’m a big fan of Ryobi stuff. Got their 40V mower and blower as well. 18V stuff is the inflator sawzall circ saw drill stick vacuum and fan. All good stuff. Take care.

Like your video but oh my goodness. That shop bench is a mess! It found the 4AH batteries really make this tool. The 2AH batteries don’t have the chooch. Also. Yea. The factory blades are garbage. Throw them out.

Take a look at the refurb stuff. I got a refurb recip saw for $15. But listen. These are light weight tools. You can’t push them. You have to baby them and let the blade work. It’s not like a high end wired Milwaukee Sawzall. It’s a light weight tool.

Men this shyt doesn’t work wasted

❤

Not enough evidence there was a head gasket leak to begin with. Were you losing coolant?

Woah they actually admit it's sodium silicate based?! So all these years they were saying, buy our product, because it's superior to sodium silicate sealers...

Mine burnt out with normal use, I have a review coming out on Friday this week (not fishing) but this just popped out in my feed - nice video btw, subscibed

the new blade that is

what size wood blade did you use please

If your car is still running. Change the coolant and add a second bottle. Sometimes in bad leaks takes 2 attempts. The first one probably made the leaks less the second one might finish them off.

Thank you for this video and that trimmer is on my short list of possible purchases. Can you share your experience with how long the Ryobi 2 AH battery lasts? Manufacturer quotes 20 min. but I'm sure it's a bit less in practice. Thanks.

Did it work

You're a natural. I trust and value your opinion.

Nice video. The audio's a bit spotty, but it looks like it's still early days for your channel, and the video's still better than 90% of the other videos I've watched on fledgling channels. :) Anyway, The original full tool/battery/charger kit Ryobi sold USED to come with a 2 Amp hour battery (That kits part number was "RRS1801-L20G"), But the more recent kits have a 4 amp hour battery in it instead (RRS1801-140GK). I'm guessing someone at Ryobi noticed everyone moaning about this tools power hungry nature. You mention you use clone batteries. I've used Ryobi tools on home DIY projects for years, and have a mix of genuine and clone batteries. Most of the clones tend to only put out about half the marked capacity, and only last about 2/3rd's of the life of a genuine one before they're bin fodder, so cost wise, if you look at it as cost per holes drilled or feet of boards cut, the price of genuine batteries isn't really that much above the clones. That said, if I were a contractor and sometimes drills would go missing from work sites, I'd rather lose a drill with a 20 quid clone battery in it than one with a 60 quid genuine one. Horses for courses I guess. The best thing about the clone batteries flooding the market though, is that it's forced Ryobi to lower the price of the genuine ones a little. As a little side note. The cheapest option to get some Ryobi tools with a battery is to register for their online promotions newsletter..... Then wait. Every once and a while they have a special offer where if you buy one of their 5 amp hour batteries for £99 (Though that price sometimes changes) you can chose a free tool to go with it. Surprisingly considering you're buying direct from Ryobi, the battery isn't as cheap as you'll find it elsewhere, but if you're getting the 60 to 80 quid tool you want thrown in for free, it's still 30 or 40 quid cheaper than the comparable kit.
