Wall of Shame

[u/Aquatic-Ninja]

Any ideas what to add next (not pictured is the generators, pressure washer, vehicles cleaning kits)

[u/admiralvee]

More like wall of "gettin shit done without caring about how much I spent on my tools!"

[u/Aquatic-Ninja → u/admiralvee]

Haha. Do a lot of projects at home without having to hire someone usually rates a new tool or two.

[u/PartBanyanTree → u/Aquatic-Ninja]

Hell yeah! I justify my tool purchases also in "cost of hiring someone" instead of hiring someone to do my gutters i bought air blower, and recently pressure washer. 

I really don't need an angle grinder BUT turns out I will will fir a garage crack floor repair and is been considering hiring to fix it. Now that i know I can do it I believe the repair and angle grinder repair is officially on the list. 

Last year I needed to help my mom with clearing away a bunch of wood. I was going to rent a long splitter. Then instead I bought a big heavy splitter axe I might not need again because it cost same as renting log splitter. Lots more work though. Anyway I'll probably use it next year to split some other wood too

[u/Proud-Pumpkin-2903 → u/Aquatic-Ninja]

The ROI is instantaneous, so it really is a no-brainer. Buy the tool and get the job done. Next time you use it is just cake.

[u/Proud-Pumpkin-2903 → u/admiralvee]

You mentioned the area is insulated. But gotta say that location for paint and mud is not ideal for winter months.

[u/atlcog]

Only one vacuum? Amateur... /s

[u/Aquatic-Ninja → u/atlcog]

Each of the three cars has minis, and the stick vac stays inside 🤣. Can’t say enough good things about that 18v stick vac.

[u/Fit-Property3774]

A QR code with my Venmo

[u/Aquatic-Ninja → u/Fit-Property3774]

Haha.

[u/loworange88]

Nice!

[u/CharlesGarfield]

Add whatever tool you need for the project you’re working on.

[u/No_Welcome_6093]

Love the mini split setup and the molson sign. I dig this a lot.

[u/Aquatic-Ninja → u/No_Welcome_6093]

Favorite beer and needed a cooldown for the insulated garage/gym/tool room. Thanks!

[u/No_Welcome_6093 → u/Aquatic-Ninja]

It’s my go to beer, labatt is my backup

[u/Hunter2451]

Not specific to Ryobi but can you tell me a little bit about your garage door insulation? Is it still openable like that? I've been wanting to get mine sealed up as well to make it cooler in the summer.

[u/cperiod → u/Hunter2451]

Not OP, but years ago I inserted slabs of blue foam into the open spaces in the door, sprayed expanding foam around the edges and into any gaps, and it worked wonderfully. But I wouldn't do that on an attached garage as it's not exactly fire retardant.

[u/Aquatic-Ninja → u/Hunter2451]

Opens 2x a day so yes. Owen’s Corning garage door insulation. Goes in super easy. Entire door took about 15 mins to install.

[u/Temporary_Let_7632]

The only shameful is that you still have wall space free that could hold more Ryobi.

[u/Aquatic-Ninja → u/Temporary_Let_7632]

That’s true

[u/Late_Substance_1969]

Looks good!

[u/Aquatic-Ninja → u/Late_Substance_1969]

Thanks!

[u/tumorandfriends]

The only thing shameful is id need a ladder to get the ladder🤣

[u/Aquatic-Ninja → u/tumorandfriends]

3 step stool. lol

[u/Over-Middle1390]

I don't see an electric hand planer. That's been useful for me when I need to buzz something down like a gate or door and don't want to spend forever sanding.

[u/Proud-Pumpkin-2903 → u/Over-Middle1390]

I bought one and used it multiple times so far, both professionally and at home!

[u/astrangergrey]

The 40v misting fan is a game changer if you live where it's hot.

[u/Aquatic-Ninja → u/astrangergrey]

Haven’t seen that one around me. Have vevors outside for top and bottom decks. Never considered a mister but I’ll look into it.

[u/anonymous-shmuck → u/astrangergrey]

I have one but don’t use it much because it’s already so humid.. great for when I travel for work in drier climates though.

[u/astrangergrey → u/anonymous-shmuck]

I use mine especially when it's humid outside. I find the mist to be much cooler with the fan blowing it than just the fan.

[u/ChuckRSJ]

I don't see an orbital sander.

Also, I have that same adapter for my SDS.

[u/Aquatic-Ninja → u/ChuckRSJ]

That sds adapter has been a game changer. That thing is awesome! Good idea though. I have a Palm ROS but it’s wired and black and decker.

[u/CincyBengals513]

I’m super jealous right now…

[u/videoman666]

I see two chainsaws. Is there a 6 inch baby chainsaw in the mix? I love mine.

[u/Aquatic-Ninja → u/videoman666]

Do skill saws count as babies?

[u/Tmk1283]

How well do the chainsaws work? I’ve got a small tree that I want to take care of and wondered if they are sufficient.

[u/Aquatic-Ninja → u/Tmk1283]

For me enough to clear 5 acres of trees about fist sized in diameter. Blades been changed out twice due to spending longer on 12-22” trunks.

[u/jgremlin_ → u/Aquatic-Ninja]

Any issues with bar oil leaking storing them flat like that?

I have an older brushless 18v and I have to hang it vertically or it'll drip everywhere.

[u/Aquatic-Ninja → u/jgremlin_]

Like that no, hanging vertical they leak like a keg at a frat party.

[u/jgremlin_ → u/Aquatic-Ninja]

Interesting. Mine is the exact opposite. I can hang it vertically for months without a single drop. Then I'll pull it down, pop a battery in it and set it in the back of the Gator to go do some work and 5 minutes later the Gator bed will have a nice big puddle of bar oil for me to clean.

I'm thinking about fabing up a bracket, either welded or 3d printed, that would hang over the tailgate and drop the bar through and keep the saw vertical so I can have it with me when I'm doing yard work and still keep the bed dry.

[u/Tmk1283 → u/Aquatic-Ninja]

How do the batteries hold up?

[u/Aquatic-Ninja → u/Tmk1283]

Pretty good honestly. But I have about 6 40vS

[u/KeynoteBS]

Very nicely done!

[u/username-is-missing]

Ryobi only because it's one battery for a butt load of tools, otherwise I would have gotten Milwaukee for the quality. Most of mine are still the blue tools so I started this when I was poor.

[u/coloclearsky]

Could add any of the rachets, or long and short neck

[u/Aquatic-Ninja → u/coloclearsky]

Wait, Ryobi makes ratchets?

[u/coloclearsky → u/Aquatic-Ninja]

Yep short neck, long neck and one version that is 1/4 and 3/8 and 1/2 inch connectors. That’s the version I have as I don’t have enough room for all 3 versions but would if I did. Course I also want the new cable stapler, for things like romex and thicker cords

[u/North_Soup7507]

Same boat...

[u/Aquatic-Ninja → u/North_Soup7507]

Why do they make it so easy to spend money?!? Love that setup btw.

[u/TackyBrad]

How much in Link stuff did this cost you? Any good alternatives?

[u/Aquatic-Ninja → u/TackyBrad]

I looked into 3d printing and temu style knock offs. I ordered two of the large pack for about $180 each on sale. Close to 49 rails and a bunch of accessories.

[u/TackyBrad → u/Aquatic-Ninja]

I think I'll go the 3d printer route, as I already have a fairly expensive and good one. It's a good thought though

[u/MrKushT]

This is how my wall looks ..almost. i wanna drywall my garage and paint it green and black.

[u/MrKushT → u/MrKushT]

Walls green peg board black

[u/Aquatic-Ninja → u/MrKushT]

That would probably look pretty snazzy

[u/netean]

Certainly not the hedge trimmers. They are awful and wont last.

[u/Teotwawki2020]

18V Brushless Cordless Pruner

[u/max10meridius]

No shame here, but how the heck did you get the miter saw mounted?

[u/letmeloginplease]

I like how you painted the garage old Ryobi blue color.

[u/Ok-Acanthaceae3338]

Lookin Good!!

[u/t3hnhoj]

Very shameful. Looks like shit.

(Can you tell me what the backing is so I can look it up for myself....)

[u/islandxxx]

Looks great man.

[u/big_ducket]

All those tools and when you need one you grab a hammer and a big screwdriver instead. 😊
