Holiday Dreams Come True with Ryobi

noreply@blogger.com (Jean Tyler) — Sat, 16 Nov 2013 19:00:00 +0000

Holiday Dreams Come True with Ryobi I have always had an interest in tools, which definitely makes them a Jean T Thing! Being a woman and not as handy as I would like to be-yet ;) It is always a good idea to have a manufacturer you can trust and believe in, which is why I jumped at the chance to participate in this giveaway.

RYOBI CONTEST

Holiday Dreams Come True With Ryobi

Special Giveaway Event

Holiday Contest and Sweeps

with the help of a group of amazing blogs shown

below, brings you this terrific event just in time for

Christmas. One lucky winner will get the present

that they will use all year long.

Proudly Brings You

"Holiday Dreams Come True With Ryobi"

One Grand Prize Winner Will Get a

Ryobi 18 volt 6-Piece Lithium-Ion

Ultimate Combo Tool Set

Holiday Contest and Sweeps has been given the honor to review

this amazing tool set. I had several projects around the house that

needed to be completed and my wife is glad to say they now have been

finished.By using the Ryobi 18 Volt Cordless set of tools I was gladly able

to put away the extensions cords that were required for all my power

tools used in these jobs. The one factor that I loved the best in using this

cordless set was that the batteries are inter-changeable and with the

Dual Chemistry Charger, they took no time at all to re-charge.

In addition to the tool set, another great feature from Ryobi is that you

can join there Ryobi Nation for free. This is a community where you can share your projects, get some DIY inspiration, enter your projects to monthly challenges (where the prizes are awesome tools!) and receive exclusive discounts and alerts to new products and upcoming promotions!

You will find a entry on the rafflecopter form below in which you can join

the Ryobi Nation today!

Let's take a better look at the Ryobi 18 Volt Lithium-Ion Ultimate Combo Tool Set below before

you enter this wonderful giveaway opportunity.

This kit is powered by new lithium-ion batteries, the very best value in lithium-ion performance. They offer up to 20% more run time, hold a charge 4X longer and are 45% lighter weight than Ni-Cd batteries. Batteries stored on the IntelliPort™ charger are conditioned for peak performance. The drill includes a 1/2 inch heavy-duty single sleeve, key less chuck with a 24 position clutch to match your drilling and driving needs. The reciprocating saw is great for demolition and general cutting of a variety of material. The circular saw has a 5-1/2 inch, carbide tipped blade to rip through 2-by material and sheet goods. The work light has a swivel head that directs light where needed.

For anyone that loves power tools, this combo set will defiantly

be on their Christmas Wish List. Let's take a closer look at

each of these quality built power tools that are included in this set.

P506 5 1/2 CIRCULAR SAW w/Laser

ONE+™ delivers more value and performance with this new circular saw. It has a compact design for better handling and left side blade for better cut line visibility. It is equipped with an Exactline™ laser that automatically activates during use to improve cut accuracy. It features the new and improved GripZone™ overmold for optimum grip and comfort. This saw can make bevel cuts of up to 45 degrees and its electric brake quickly stops the blade for enhanced safety.

This Ryobi Circular is the only circular I will use from now on. I used it on a project I had

it easily cut through 1/2" plywood with no hesitation. The laser marker made cutting a

straight cut much more easier, elimination the need for making marks on the wood. It

also had very little drain on the lithium battery.

Like all ONE+ items, this saw works with any 18V ONE+ battery. Upgrade to lithium-ion batteries for lighter weight and more performance.

P208B Drill With Screwdriver Bit

This drill is compact and powerful enough to handle any job on your project list. It features the exclusive MagTray®, which is perfect for holding bits and screws to maximize productivity on the job site. The integrated LED light gives extra flexibility when working in low-light situations. The new and improved Grip Zone™ over-mold provides optimum grip and user comfort.

Not many drills have impressed me as much as the Ryobi P208, It is lightweight and made
very durable. The integrated lighted saved me from having to hold a drill in one hand and
trying to maneuver a flashlight in another. It saves you time and provides access to any
place you need to get to. There is now no need for stretching extensions cords all over the
place.

Features:

Compact design fits into small spaces, ideal for hard to reach areas
Powerful motor with the same torque and performance of a full sized drill
LED light illuminates work surfaces for increased visibility
MagTray® magnetic holder for convenient placement of screws and bits
1/2 in. single-sleeve, key-less chuck with automatic spindle lock for easy bit changes
On-board bit storage for convenience
24 position clutch and 2-speed gear box to match your drilling and driving needs
Top-mounted bubble level for drilling and driving accuracy
New and improved Grip Zone™ over-mold for optimum grip and user comfort

P514 Reciprocating Saw

ONE+™ delivers more productivity and better ergonomics for more control. The combination of the unique Anti-Vibe handle, which reduces fatigue during prolonged use and new and improved GripZone overmold for optimum grip and user comfort make this saw a must-have tool for any size job.

The adjustable, pivoting shoe allows greater depth control and more efficient use of the blade by moving to a less worn section.

The variable speed trigger adds to the tool’s control with slow starts to line up the best cut and an electronic brake to stop the cutting quickly. It makes your job faster with up to 3,100 strokes per minute and a tool less blade clamp for quick and easy blade changes.

This saw is simply amazing, it cuts through wood like your were cutting through butter

with a knife. Unlike other reciprocating saws that leave your hands numb from the

vibrations, this saw is smooth and gets the job done. I used this saw for over a hour

before having to place it on the charger. Defiantly a nice addition to my power tools.

Ryobi P236 Impact Driver

Impact drivers are the fastest growing power tool category because they make work so much easier. ONE+™ delivers more innovation, features and power to impact drivers than ever. The variable speed trigger assists in screw start up, allowing the unique impact mechanism to drive the longest deck screws or largest lag screws with ease by delivering more than 1600 in lbs of torque. It is over 33% faster and more powerful than the previous model and incorporates the Tri-Beam LED lights to eliminate shadows on bits and fasteners in the darkest work areas.

When it is time get things done, just take the bit from the convenient on-board storage and place it in the Auto-load chuck. Nothing could be easier for fast, one handed bit changes. Use the EXCLUSIVE MagTray™ magnetic holder to keep screws and bits in easy reach. Add to that the new and improved GripZone™ overmold for optimum grip and user comfort to equal a pro featured tool with performance to match.

I used this Impact Driver on a project in my basement and I was amazed in the ease

it sank 2.5" construction screws in the old ceiling joist. The power that the 18 volt lithium-ion

provides is plenty for any household project that you will come across. Defiantly a big improvement from my old power driver.

RYOBI P246 18V MULTI-TOOL W/ P570 MULTI-TOOL HEAD

Ryobi JobPlus delivers more innovation and versatility than any other 18-Volt multi-tool on the market. It includes a multi-tool attachment head that cuts drywall, metal, wood, plastic, composite and many other materials; it also sands the finest details. Use multi-tool accessories from the most popular brands with the included universal adapter, which stores on-board for convenient use. The JobPlus base is compatible with the RIGID Job Max interchangeable tool head system. Like all One+ items, JobPlus works with all 18-Volt One+ batteries. Batteries and chargers sold separately. Comes with a Segment Saw blade, Sanding

pad, 5 pieces of Sandpaper. Allen Wrench and Multi-tool Accessory Adapter.

The Multi Tool is probably my favorite tool of the entire set. It eliminates the need

to keep changing tools or not being able to fit into certain tight places. It's ability to

sand surfaces is a great feature to have. I had put off a job that I had planned in

putting a new electrical access into our bedroom wall but dreaded having to mess

with cutting through the dry wall. The multi tool attachment head cut it out perfectly

with no problems at all.

Compact tool head fits into tight spaces
LED light brightens work area
Multiple position tool-head adds handling versatility
Universal adapter stores on-board and allows use of popular multi-tool accessories
New and improved grip zone over-mold for maximum user comfort
MagTray magnetic holder for convenient placement of screws and bits

Ryobi P117 Dual Chemistry Charger

ONE+™ delivers more value and performance with the smartest charger on the market. It charges all 18V ONE+ batteries in 1 hour or less. The charger has RYOBI patented IntelliPort™ Technology, which protects battery cells, maximizes battery life, and conserves energy so well it earned an ENERGY STAR® logo. The diagnostic read-out provides charging status and even lets you know if the battery is too hot or cold to charge.

The One + charges the batteries incredibly fast. Within placing a fully drained

battery in the charger, your good to go within 30 minutes with full charge. It

gives you a charger that will enable you to work all day long if needed.

2 - Ryobi P107 18V One+ Compact Lithium-ion Batteries

RYOBI® 18V ONE+™ System introduces the next generation in lithium-ion performance. LITHIUM+™ batteries improve the performance of RYOBI 18V ONE+ power tools beyond simply extending the run time. This compact battery improves the performance of Ryobi 18V ONE+ tools by increasing torque up to 15%. They provide up to 35% more run time, hold a charge 4X longer and are 45% lighter weight than Ni-Cd batteries. LITHIUM+ batteries have extreme weather performance to continue work in harsh conditions and an on-board fuel gauge to “Check Your Charge”™ before the work begins. LITHIUM+ batteries provide fade-free power for maximum performance throughout the charge. Best of all, like all 18V ONE+ batteries, LITHIUM+ batteries work with every Ryobi 18V tool ever made.

P704 Flashlight

ONE+™ delivers more performance and versatility with this new work light. Its multi-functional design is capable of sitting flat on the battery, on its end or hanging from a nail, screw or hook. It’s 30% brighter than the previous model and has a rotating head to direct the light where needed to help get the job done faster and more conveniently.
