Is this new Ryobi guys?

I'm a Makita/Ryobi guy. Yeah that's new. I've never seen it. Be cool to have. Less dangerous than using a Shop-Vac plugged into the AC outlet when sucking up water.
Also, it'd be nice to vacuum out cars with. I have to bust out my extention cord and Craftsman Shop Vac.

If it were an AC/DC hybrid, like some of their other tools, I'd own it already.

Ryobi has been killing it lately. So much so that I bought into their line even after all my Milwaukee M18 stuff.

Nothing wrong with having 2 lines -- a budget line like Ryobi for shop vacs/lights/jobsite radios and a better line (I have Makita) for your main stuff like your drills. Gives you more flexibility to pick and choose more appropriate tools from 2 large lineups.

I decidedly on going with the Ryobi brushless grinder over the Milwaukee fuel one. $139 for the grinder, two 4Ah batteries and charger vs $169 for a bare tool. I'll see how it does. I have the Milwaukee fuel sawzall and love it, things a beast. But I've been very impressed with what Ryobi has been coming out with lately and at a very reasonable price to boot.

Are those vacuums all that great? I have the DeWalt 20v one and cannot stand its lack of power.

It’s not really a budget line anymore. They’ve introduced brushless tools as well now.
Ryobi is a lot better than the miluwakee nut huggers on here give them credit for

I happened to pickup some cheap almost new Ryobi stuff so Im already invested in the Ryobi line of tools now along side Milwaukee. Id be curious to see how this compares to there m18 vac which i really like!

I was surprised to see they have an oil-pulse driver. Maybe it has been out a while but without a Home Depot in my area I haven't really paid attention.

Totally agree with this idea. I started out by selecting Dewalt to be my cordless tool provider when i bought their 20v brushless drill/driver set. Later got a bunch of other Dewalt tools like impact, blower & string trimmer.
I bought into Ridgid when i found their fan (hybrid power) at Direct Tools outlet for $25 and wanted it to go camping. Got my Ridgid starter kit for free when i bought a work light and their jobmax multitool.
Later got the Milwaukee M12 set when HD had a drill/driver/hackzall/ ratchet for $199. I really just wanted the ratchet, but that alone with the batteries was $150 so for an extra $50 i got some useful tools.
I like being able to be able to pick and choose among vendors' products when i am looking for something in particular. I haven't bought into Ryobi yet although they do have some nice stuff. Oops I did get a 12v Ryobi autohammer on an ebay whim (which is nice ) but sadly there are practically no other Ryobi 12 v tools.

Thanks for the heads up.
I have Ryobi 18v inflator (very convenient!)and polisher. That vacuum will certainly be my next consideration.
I'm surprised that few other cordless tool makers are bothering to design tools for the average car owners.

Milwaukee and Ryobi are the same company. I noticed this years ago, just by looking at all the ryobi **** that was popping up that looked like the milwaukee stuff. They are owned by the same company and both pushed heavily at HD.
I won't bother with the green stuff. 18 years ago, I started with milwaukee stuff, for myself and had used the other brands my uncle bought as I worked for him. The V28 tools are beasts and when my 14.4v nicad batteries were shot and the impacts getting worn, I switched to the M12 for small tools.
Ryobi customer service reached out to me after I reviewed their ear phones on the HD web site. They were a gift but were junk and defective out of the box. They sent a new set and more ear tips. I tried them again and hoped to be able to give a good review, but while the new set wasn't defective, the software did not work well and was useless along with the tips being too big to even fit my ears.
Ryobi seems to focus on building flashy items which are supposed to have a ton of features, at a stupid price. It just does not work out.
The LED lights do work OK. Our match director bought them to light stages at night, after already owning the impact drivers for a year. The impacts are only used to drive big lag bolt into the ground to keep walls and targets from blowing over.
I really don't want to get into a fourth tool system and have not looked close at all the offerings from ryobi. They are a DIY quality version of Milwaukee, but it is good to see they are using some of the same tech as the better tools. In GJ fashion, I'm very particular about tools- your results may vary.

Milwaukee and Ryobi are both owned by TTi as well as Ridgid. They may share some technology but they will NEVER have interchangeable batteries.

Why even post then if you are not going to comment on the original item in question? You really have no Ryobi ownership experience at all, at least tools wise. You only complained about Ryobi and praised Milwaukee but in your first sentence you state that they are the same company. Makes no sense. Milwaukee fan boys on GJ are getting just as bad as Snappy fan boys. Milwaukee is the best and everything else is pure junk. By the way I do own Ryobi and Milwaukee. Both serve their purpose.

Ridgid is owned by Emerson Electric, not TTI. They contract TTI to produce the Ridgid line.

I love my dewalt 20v vac, so much so that I rarely use my rigid roll around vac.

It doesn't mean they are built to the same quality. Also, I own many other tool brands some of which are better than milwaukee for that type of tool. As stated in my other post, I have used Ryobi and while they worked for the limited amount I used them, I'm not willing to buy into another system when they are just budget tools.

I don't have any experience with the vacuum but that wheel design is genius (nothing new but smart they put it on a vacuum) I have panel moving dollies that use that design track straight and can turn on a dime. Now if they would just incorporate a centrifugal pre filter into the vacuum I would be sold.
