P421 is the bottom of the barrel. Just fine if you cut off a bolt here or there. But it gets real hot if you run it longer.

P445 is mid tier. Probably the minimum acceptable product for a "tool guy."

The brushless one is top tier. If you're asking about grinders you probably don't want this one.

Cordless grinders aren't exactly great. Use them if you really need portability and convenience. If you don't use them often, you're probably better off with a corded one. They are more powerful and having to constantly drag out extension cords isn't too bad because you barely use it. Metabo makes one that's like $40ish that will spank the Ryobi brushless and probably last a lifetime. My POS Chicago Electric grinder from HF still hasn't died after 20 years. Last year it cut off a couple bolts and made around 80 cuts of 1/2" rebar. As much as I'd like a cordless grinder there's really not a lot of benefit to spending the money for me.


Safety is a big deal with grinders. They cause a lot of workplace accidents. You shouldn't fear it, but you darn better respect it. Eye protection any time you flip the switch. Gloves if you're throwing sparks. If you get into using a wire wheel, please get a face shield and cover up as best you can. Leather if you can do so. If one of those wires breaks off at several thousand RPM it can embed itself quite deeply into your body.

when ryobi first started to make tools with more power, they made them capable of using two 18v batteries--i know that a little less power than a 40 v but, i have a ton of 18v batteries so it was great--now they want me to go out and buy the more expensive 40v--what happened to 1 battery fits all
Pretty sure the 40v is actually 36V. There are a couple of 3D printed adapters you can buy if you Google ryobi 18v to 40v adapter.

how are the pressure washer deals?
I got the 40v cordless on one of the last sales for 45% off. Haven't seen it for less than that. It runs through about 5 5 gallon buckets with two fully charged 40v batteries that come with it. I highly recommend.

Looking good to me. Was going to get an electric one but the gas powered ones come with a free surface cleaner.

No deal on Ryobi brushless angle grinder. Pure double standards at its vest.

I find the IR cameras that attach to your phone work much better to see the hot/cold spots in your room (though they're a lot more expensive ~$200-300+, eg Seek, Infiray, etc; amzn: B091YCS54X). The spot IR readers are fine for cooking, but using the camera you can see the temperature changes much more easily. I'd avoid the Flir models that require charging separately. That said, you can use the spot IR thermometers for what you want -- you just need to be more methodical.

What's the predominant opinion for pressure washers? I'm not sure if another posts responses were just plain snarky...but should you opt for electric over gas? Brushless? I'd like one that actually lasts more than a few seasons.

Thoughts?

Thanks for this!!!

Been waiting for a deal on a pressure washer since my old one is leaking and too expensive/not worth fixing. Picked up the 3300 PSI Ryobi with Honda Engine and they give you a FREE foam blaster and 14" surface cleaner. $271 shipped for all with tax. Home Depot is at least $500 for just the pressure washer!

Grabbing an edger attachment for my lawn. Just spent $50 on an off-brand one at Lowe's that's borderline unusable because of an unremovable guard they put that assumes you're edging off a sidewalk. Even with $15 shipping it's 30% cheaper than Home Depot.

I see the surface cleaner, but not the free foam cannon....

When I added the pressure washer to my cart, it automatically added the foam cannon and surface cleaner.

Honestly I didn't even know that was part of the deal. I was just planning on the pressure washer so it was just an added bonus for me.

Bonus!! No foam cannon for me, but looking forward to trying the surface cleaner in the garage. I opted for what looks like a stronger built foam cannon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WPKH...ct_details
