RYOBI: Recommend You Other Brands Instead (especially applies their gas stuff which has high failure rates, the cordless handhelds are decent for household and even light commercial use though)
Maybe I'm unlucky as hell, but I've had nothing but problems with their handhelds. Bought a finishing sander and the motor crapped out, exact same thing happened on the replacement, so I grabbed a mastercraft (also a cheap brand) and at least it runs. Bought a jigsaw and the stock face plate leaves an indent and black marks on everything I cut.
Just a finishing sander, so I was keeping the pressure light. The job was a dining room table, but I feel like even a Ryobi should be able to handle a full table!
Haha that might have been it
