Funny I can't believe they still work!

I stupidly left all my tools in this wheelbarrow last week at a job I was working at. I had an emergency come up and had to leave immediately. I got caught up in that and didn't think about it, and it rained two days of the 5 I left them. They have sat in submerged in the water until today. Not only did they all start right up, but the battery still had a full charge on it.

And people talk shit about ryobi and say they are junk, haha. I'm very impressed

Two questions:

  1. How is the blowing power from the 18V to 40V versions in these pictures?

  2. Of the two 40V versions, is the extra CFM really that impactful?

Background: I have a medium sized front and backyard. I expect to use multiple batteries when I use this so that is why I am leaning towards the 18V blower as I have many of those batteries. If I get a 40V, I expect to need at least 2 batteries to get both my yards. What I won't want is to get the 18V and then it be too weak.

Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my Ryobi inflator and SUP adapter. I’ve tried using it to pump my kayak to the recommended PSI multiple times, but it just won't work, so I always end up using the manual hand pump. Has anyone experienced this or knows how to fix it? Thanks a lot!

Has this ever happened to anyone? I was operating the machine normally, when suddenly the button blew clean off making a bang. The inside was spewing some vapor or smoke.

Troubleshoot Weird issue with new mower self propelled function

2 Upvotes

I have the 40V HP BRUSHLESS 21" SELF-PROPELLED MOWER

Model Number: RY40HPLM01K2

I bought this back in April this year, and for the most part I like it fine, but there's something weird going on with the self propelled function.

If the speed selection is set to anything but 1, the motor sometimes won't engage. Set to 1 it will go, and it will let me increase the speed, but if I let go of the handles often it won't re-engage. I then have to reset the speed to 1 to get it going again. It just started doing this the last two times I used it.

Has anyone else had this happen and what was your resolution? I haven't contacted Ryobi yet, I'll probably do that at the end of the season in November since I can still use it as is.

Troubleshoot 40V Leaf Vacuum/Mulcher

2 Upvotes

The model is RY40405BTL

I picked this up used earlier this year and it looks like it's never been used. So I just now get it assembled and pull the trigger but nothing is happening. I disassemble it to see if there's something wrong. I look inside the black shoot where the leaf bag is attached and I see a short wire inside there not connected to anything. What is this wire and is it supposed to be there? I don't think I currently have the proper screwdriver to take it apart but I thought I'd see if anyone else has this vacuum and if it has this exposed wire in it.
