So far so good I’m really like the way these tool work and feel.
My mouth dropped…. I Want ur tools .lol
Looks nice Reg.
The drill doesn’t look used at all.
Looks great, How do you like the right angle drill? Im have been thinking about getting one for those rare but very useful conditions.
Nice, what’s going to happen to your dewalt cordless tools?

I have not used the hammer drill as of yet. I have a DeWalt 18V compact that I used all the time or my DeWalt 12v Drill. I use the SD rotary drill for concrete or I have a larger Hilti rotary drill.

I like it a lot. It is nice to have to get into places a regular drill will not fit

Thanks Redsionnach
Very nice set. Your taking great care of them also. And you got a good amount of m18 batteries.
I should take my Milwaukee family photo. It might take awhile to get everyone in the picture though.
I’ve never taken a pic of all mine laid out, only in the cabinet….damn, I need to do that I guess.

nice! I love my cordless tools so much I keep ’em all displayed front and centre in the shed 😐
Nice display Dwain. I can’t keep power tools out in the open with Conductor Jr. running around.

Conductor Jr. has a 9V Ryobi in his box.
you guys must have great father son moments building and fixing stuff togetherConductor562 wrote:

He’s my little buddy for sure
My grand son is 5. He has one of my old Panasonic NiMh drills. It is nicer than his dad’s LOL!
You guys have all that nice expensive stuff, great collections but too pricey for me. Since we’re doing family portraits here’s my small Ryobi collection, can you count how many Ryobi tools are in there?
thats a serious ryobi collection right there, what do you think of them switching to the new high lighter color?
Color-wise I thought I would care less, but I actually think it’s not a bad color to stare at, looks really nice and isn’t obnoxious. I don’t have a preference though, as long as they work they could be pink and lavender and I wouldn’t care. Build-wise, the “green” tools do seem to run better than the “blue”, and they’re definitely lighter and easier to work with.
Tool colors: Dewalt yellow always grabs me, always liked the yellow.
I can’t believe how big the old Ryobi drills were they are effing huge a current fullsize drill will look compact next to that. I do love my Milwaukee Fuel stuff, but my ryobi stuff did fine for years. Their cordless cutting tools could use some more power the circular saw is a weak link in the lineup. I think they could do more except they are limited by the tools being backwards compatible, but that’s the selling point of Ryobi tools.
Two biggest selling points to me are 1. Ryobi has always been a strong performer for me, and 2. Every tool and every battery is compatible with each other. Price plays a factor but if Ryobi didn’t perform for me I’d be using something else, regardless of price. The photo is a bit deceptive, the “blue” tools have the larger NiCads on them, which makes them look bigger in the photo. The “blue” drills are bigger, but not by much, compared to the “green”. Side-by-side the “blue” is bigger but not by much. The thing that makes the newer tools feel lighter and feel nicer in the hand is the lighter battery. The NiCads weight a ton, and the Lithiums feel like you’re holding air
Some stuff I got threw work I haven’t really used them except another set of the fuel hammer drill and impact and I love them
Having trouble adding it off my iPhone lol
What is on the top of the radio?
Nice collection Punda. Looks like a pre-fuel drill on the radio.
It’s a compact cordless drill/driver, yeah I should be getting some more corded stuff soon, and I might request for the new radio and give that to my old man.
Well I finally got the motivation to get all my tools together to take a pic of the spread of Milwaukee stuff I have collected and have used so far. I’m getting pretty close to all the power tools I will need for quite awhile the only thing I really want now is the Milwaukee vac, M12 3/8 and 1/4 Fuel impact wrenches, 1/2 M18 Fuel impact wrench, and portable band saw, Brushless M18 multiool when it comes out, and Fuel grinder. The new flashlights would be cool but are not high on the list of things too buy.
Nice. Man I have to get more tools 🙁
I need to get into the m18 lineup.
I see the air strike is in there.
You got a small army of batteries DR99. Nice setup
Maybe I should post my collection
I see you still have the original screw driver. I loved that little guy, too bad I sold mine to upgrade to the m12 hammer drill. You don’t know what you have till its gone 🙁

Yup, AirStrike nailer, thickness planer, and the multi-tool. Also tossed in the various bit sets and whatnot, made it a real “I’ve got way too much Ryobi stuff” photo…
DR99, what size blade is on the circular saw, that thing looks huge…

It’s a 6 1/2 inch blade.
It’s the fuel one isn’t it?

I would like to get the fuel screwdriver but it’s not extremely important too upgrade that tool yet.
Yea both saws are fuel versions

Yea the number of Batteries I have was kind of shocking. I never really have had them all together before like that.
There’s no such thing as too many batteries. At one time I had 20 of the One+ batteries…
Oh its nice not having to worry about charging batteries. I really need to get the six pack charger though I would make things easier when charging a bunch of packs at once. I wouldn’t have to run around and swap packs when they are done.
I was looking at Ryobi’s 6-port charger, but didn’t want to bother since it only charges one battery at a time. Might as well stick with single chargers since they do the same thing and aren’t as big.
Nice collection of tools. How do you like the wall scanner. I was thinking about the DeWalt but we all know that did not happen and who knows when or if it will come out.
I though it worked pretty well when I needed to use it. It does get confused if things get kind of crazy in the walls but that’s to be expected.

Have you used it on wood lath and plaster walls. The only scanner that I have found that works ok on plaster is the zircon m40 it is basically a metal detector and picks up the nails holding the lath to the studs.
The funny thing is the screw gun is the first Milwaukee tool I ever bought.
Well Dr, I think you have the most complete Milwaukee set of tools anywhere. It’s official, You win.
And your batteries, wow. I only have 4 m18’s.
Where are your Milwaukee hands tools? I have been slowly getting different ones. Their all great.
