Hands On: RYOBI 12″ Surface Cleaner Review

There are a TON of birds that congregate off and on almost all day on our back/side yard deck. We spend a good fortune on bird food (which the squirrels, raccoons, opossums, and probably other critters enjoy, too) every month. Surprisingly, there is very little “poo” around the area, but the bird food itself and … Read more

Hands On: RYOBI 14″ 40V Brushless Cordless Chainsaw

Here in our quaint yet not-so-sleepy North Florida town, there are trees everywhere. After just about every storm (and we’ve had our share of hurricanes recently), trees come tumbling down all over the place. Chainsaws are almost mandatory here.

I’ve got a few pressure washers—both my own and those from various GarageSpot.com projects—and wanted to use … Read more

A Legit Electric Riding Lawnmower

Since our new-to-us house sits on about two acres with lots of trees, I’m in the market for a riding lawnmower, and pretty quick. Since I’ll need to tow a small trailer around the yard to clean up all of the debris that constantly falls from above, I was seriously considering one of two old-school … Read more

The RYOBI Modular Garage Door Opener

After living with an obnoxiously loud chain drive garage door opener for eight years, we just replaced our opener with an amazingly quiet belt drive. But wouldn’t ya’ know it… this thing comes out a month later, and I want one! Call it the ‘Swiss Army Knife’ of garage door openers, the new RYOBI Garage Door … Read more
