I have the ryobi 1+ line and have served me well. they see alot of use and abuse in my house and garage and have held up well with the exception of a battery that stopped working after a little fall off the roof last month. What i really like about them is that you can pick up a wide range of...

thats just the angle. i put one on top of the other and there the exact same. did the same with a few different sizes all identical.

I can't tell you the product because I dont actually know. When I was doing decks I had three customers pay me to rip out their plastic that was less than two years old and replace it with pressure treated. It was all the same product put in at the same time, and looked okay to me but they all...

I have both sets purcahsed in the last month. ill snap a pic or two tonight to show the side by side

pt $expensive, PVC $More expensive, cursing yourself everyday for picking pvc priceless. mastercard used to pay for the wood to replace the plastic.

insurance, rag, lighter, run, and done
