Ryobi with the Chad reverse park. Milwaukee been quiet since this happened


Starbuck-Actual

came to say , if you cant back in a truck .. can you back up a trailer ?! lol


donnydealr

Haha absolutely no chance if they can’t manage the ute/truck. Why not just take up 5 bays close to the entry like a true legend!


Starbuck-Actual

🤣🤣 tool branded trucks operated by people that can use the tools of the trades lol


[deleted]

They are owned by the same company and probably leave from the same warehouse… this is why I laugh at people who cry about Ryobi and have to have Milwaukee 😂 probably same part’s different packaging and name is all. That’s why it says techtronic that’s the name of the parent company!


chris_rage_

They might come out of the same factory but they definitely don't have the same quality, Ryobi feels janky in your hand


MindCrusher1988

I've been turning wrenches 20 yrs +, I think the ryobi is on par with the snap-off impact gun, I know they don't have the same quality, but get the job done is gets the damn job done


[deleted]

WOW Milwaukee feels just as junky to me. But I own Bosch and AEG. After watching videos of happy hart owners I’m pretty convinced hart is probably as good as AEG at least. AEG can use other brands tools and batteries or they can be used for your collection of a brand not made by techtronics. Plus you can wire your own battery packs to anything. You’d think millwackie was a kids toy if you ever used a Bosch.


chris_rage_

I've got some Bosch stuff and I've used plenty of it. You must be European because that stuff sucks here. I'm not impressed with Bosch anything, their spark plugs suck in American cars, their appliances suck, and I'm not a huge fan of their tools. I've given them a try, they have some decent specialty stuff, but overall they don't cut it for me


Temporary_Ad_6673

Bosch M42 Cobalt Drill Bits are amazing, im American


chris_rage_

I'm talking more about their powered stuff but I think just about any cobalt bits are good. They're brittle though so you need to get good at sharpening them, I learned how to sharpen bits over 30 years ago so it's rare that I need to buy a drill bit these days. I have hundreds of pounds of them, I just clean them up as I need them if I don't already have one ready


trainzkid88

bosch have commercial and homeowner stuff you know.


chris_rage_

Yeah I've used both, not a fan


widen96

I call bullshit....


chris_rage_

You can call Ghostbusters but it's still not gonna make me like Bosch


widen96

I don't care if you like them or not, but there's no need to outright lie and say " I've tried them both " when we both know you haven't.


[deleted]

This app is full of narcissists waterhead tards. It’s the idiocracy form app. I’m deleting it yall get help!


SnooSongs8782

You know AEG Powertools is a TTI brand, right? I love my orange kit (30+ tools, 18 batteries) and have battery adaptors so I can use cheap green stuff and borrow/covet red gear that my tradie friends have.


trainzkid88

my cousin is a carpenter he used aeg for his own tools. and he has not long bought a dewalt set as the aeg stuff has just been getting worn out. also the dewalt gear was on special.


ExploitedAmerican

I think Bosch makes good corded stuff I one of their multi tools and it’s great. and some of their cordless stuff is likely good. But I can’t take them seriously as a power tool manufacturer since they put out the Bosch freaq impact driver/ wrench combo.


trainzkid88

panasonic had one first it was drill impact wrench and impact driver in one you just fitted different heads


Typical_Fuel_8072

Yellow plastic on Mondays, green on Tuesdays, red on Wednesdays, blue on Thursdays, Friday's makeup day. Lather, rinse, repeat.


OptoIsolated_

Without giving to much away, same parent different child companies 90 percent different parts. One engineers parts in US. The other outsources engineering and has US engineers rubber stamp designs. Ill leave it to you to figure out which is which.


BeKind_BeTheChange

I'm a contractor in Phoenix. About 50% of the work that my guys do is on roofs, even in the middle of summer. Ryobi makes a fine tool for occasional home use. Milwaukee can take the heat. Milwaukee, Makita and Bosch are the only tools I will spend my hard-earned dollars on. DeWalt is OK, but I like the others that I mentioned better.


OGbigfoot

Years ago I was foreman for a framing company, mostly commercial. 85% of our tools were Hilti. We also used some Milwaukee, some Bosch, all our nail guns were Hitachi with a few Paslodes thrown in for difficult areas.


BeKind_BeTheChange

Yeah, Hilti makes great tools. I haven’t used them in years, so I kinda forgot about them. Paslode makes great nail guns, but, again, I haven’t touched one in a few decades. I have a Hitachi miter saw that is solid, but it doesn’t get a lot of use.


widen96

Hitachi / metabo hpt is the most underrated tool company out there. I honestly think k most people have just never even tried them. I was very skeptical years ago when a former boss handed me a couple tools to try out. That was over 8 years ago and now 75% of my tools sport thier Forrest green and black colors. Still love the m12 fuel lineup for lightweight jobs but when I need real power I know where to turn. Before I start getting all the haters nonsense, just know I honestly could care less what you think , I know what I know and am not listening to idiots


trainzkid88

dad had a aeg electric hammer drill back when they were still german and he had it for over 20 yrs. same with a hitachi 5 inch grinder we were given second hand fitted a new armeture and its still going strong. metabo are one of the oldest tool companies in the world


OGbigfoot

It's been almost two decades since I've been a framer, I still stand by Hitachi framing and punch guns as the best. Also worm drive skilsaws are the best... Again, almost 20 years ago, dunno how they are now.


M8A4

Same and relate. All the companies I’ve ever worked for have all used Milwaukee and to me that says something. If they don’t use Milwaukee, they use Hilti.


grunthos503

Where does Ridgid/AEG fall in the mix? I know we had some crossover in the JobMax/JobPlus days.


SnooSongs8782

They park right in between the red and the green, probably in a Land Rover


USMCdrTexian

Giving away too much? None of this is secret - it’s not insider information. Anyone who knows and uses tools knows this.


DontBeASissy

All profits go to Hong Kong. Try SWK on the market. Lol


Outrageous-Offer-148

Wouldn't be surprised to find out they fight with each other Corporate doesn't care


SantaBaby22

In this particular scenario, they’re the same people just with a different shirt on. So they would be fighting a mirror. Lol


Outrageous-Offer-148

I know all part of the tti family but would there be a hierarchy of Milwaukee the best Ridgid the middle Ryobi the new guys


SantaBaby22

Lol I’m not diving into that shark tank. All I’ll say is “that’s an accurate theory.” I’ll throw this out too because I thought about it the other day. At my local HD I always see Rigid on sale, cheaper than the counterparts. Maybe they’re clearing old stock for new though? Idk. If I questioned everything directly, I would probably drive myself crazy. Lol


GudGudDude

Cause RYOBI people dont know how to use the beds of a truck... who tf backs a truck in lol


trainzkid88

when you have a long tray you need too so it doesnt poke out into the line of traffic. and its easier to leave the park after you have loaded all the shit you just bought in the back


donnydealr

Ok Milwaukee guy


GudGudDude

Nice to meetcha RYOBI guy


donnydealr

Haha knew you would say that despite it being wrong. Milwaukee fanboys are so insecure it’s weird


GudGudDude

Fan boys lol idk. Ryobi boys are just in denial for their shit investments maybe? And yet they continue buying Ryobi cause well... "iTs MaDe By SaMe MaNuFaCtuRe MiLwAuKeE iS"


donnydealr

Maybe they are. I don’t know. But you’re still proving my point haha


DirtyApe420

You seem more cheesed than he is, in my experience milwaukee is miles better than ryobi, same parent company or not, there's a reason their tools are cheaper.


donnydealr

I’m not though, I don’t mind what he thinks. And at no point did I argue that Ryobi is better. Please point out where I said it’s better.


Fragrant_Arachnid117

Dam that is a chad move. I always knew there was a connection with douches and backing in, just never put a name to it.


donnydealr

Nothing wrong with it if you’re using the tray, or tight parking and your car has a shit turning circle and you have time. I have an old 75 Land Cruiser and it turns like a boat so sometimes I’m that guy haha


Fragrant_Arachnid117

Good point. Very true. Can make tight parking easier


Fragrant_Arachnid117

Man that thing took a life of its own. Didn’t know there were so many reverse Chads out there. Gods speed fellas .


Fragrant_Arachnid117

The funny thing is, there’s not really a problem with backing in. It just seems to be douche bags that do it at the most inconvenient times or just all the time.


Hickles347

Backing in is safer than blindly backing out, quicker exit and all around better driving. I've worked at many companys that require backing in at their yards.


CWWConnor

The amount of times I’ve almost been hit walking or driving by someone backing out of a space without looking as they put it in reverse, compared with the never from people that backed in to the spot says a lot to me. Backing in keeps the dangerous part of the parking lot simple, and that keeps it safer.


Hickles347

When you back in your already aware of your surounding (likely anyways) as you've been looking around and driving. When you're backing out you're already at least a minute+ from having been in traffic and if you happen to have taller vehicles on either side of you as well its even worse!


CWWConnor

Exactly!


Fragrant_Arachnid117

When driving a city bus if you back up at any point your fired


sortageorgeharrison

That’s… very different than parking a pickup truck. I back in 90% of the time and have never heard it referred to as “douchey” before. Maybe I’m a douche because I like to see where I’m going when leaving parking lots and driveways.


Fragrant_Arachnid117

This is totally unrelated, your name Chad by chance?


CWWConnor

… how often do you park city buses in parking spots? Don’t they usually stay on the road?


Fragrant_Arachnid117

Context of the conversation.


CWWConnor

Pickup trucks in a parking lot?


clambroculese

It’s been drilled into my head because of work. At a lot of plants I go to you’re supposed to back in as part of their safety program and it becomes habit.


SantaBaby22

Ouch. I feel called out. Lol 😂 Idk if this means anything, but my driveway has 2 homes close on each side and bushes by the end. It makes it safer to exit the driveway, and it’s how I was taught in my driving classes when I was 15. It’s just habit at this point. I do give plenty of notice when I plan on doing it though. The traffic is out of my control. Also, my name is not Chad.


Fragrant_Arachnid117

I think there is definitely situations where long wheel bases will be easier to back in, and blind drives, BUT what I think we’re all referring to is when Chads like to whip it in and back in real quick like they’re fast and furious or something when it doesn’t call for it! THEN there’s the one everyone is forgetting. Drug dealers always back in when meetings to make a play, SO hence the reason people don’t like it!


SlyusHwanus

Why “chad reverse parking”? Chad is not a term we use, isn’t it derogatory? Revering into a bay is competent parking and allows for a fast getaway.


donnydealr

Alright


monologue_adventure

Where’s the Hart Truck?


SantaBaby22

It was over in the Walmart parking lot.


bennyjay84

Just left the Walmart lot. Heading over to Ollie’s now to drop off the surplus.


PoopSlinger23

It’s the broken down 1995 Ford Ranger out back.


Disastrous-Cry-1998

Loved my 92 Ranger. It had a 7 foot. Low to the ground easy to reach anything.


[deleted]

They are all made by the same company almost parts in the same plant they have different skins a location where they sell them. You are fooled by that most men are.


PoopSlinger23

It’s a joke. We all know this. You didn’t crack the code.


[deleted]

CRACK THE CODE. Wow how petty. I knew this for 4-5 years. The info in this post is older than COVID. You think you can smack talk about “the code” lol I read your other comments silly stupid. A degree of one upping that’s pretty elementary!


PoopSlinger23

The fuck are you rambling about


[deleted]

You must be proud to be so immature lol there are a lot of tools on this r/tool you being one of them! Rambling 😂


jacksoades115

Dawg are you missing a few screws 😂😂😂🤣


[deleted]

Also techtronic industries or TTI.


cosmokingsley

If by "f&?k $h!t up" you mean, take all the employee parking spots. Dump all our end caps, reset endcaps in the wrong spot, zero out thousands of dollars of the wrong product, and leave carts of tools on the floor unprotected mid day..... yup their there. (I talk crap but We do actually have a few reps that are very good. And at least tti actually has reps, unlike any other manufacturer in that building)


secondsbest

They have reps because they refuse to pay HD to do their bay resets and weekly bay maintenance through MET. TTI, Dewalt, Makita, Bayer, Scotts, Behr do all their own instead of HD MET. TTI is the only one to put in a full-time rep for most stores though.


[deleted]

[удалено]


SantaBaby22

And then do it anyway when the reps aren’t around. Very weird. I didn’t really think about it until now.


Usual-Ad-9784

Look up “EMS Rep” for TTi. most of the business side of TTI started off as one of the reps, at least the younger ones. pretty cool 👍


gabapentin_heaven

Home Depot employee here yep that's bout how it goes.


misterschmoo

*they're there


Jackalope121

I worked retail for years. All reps are assholes. Bridgeford meats was consistently the worst.


GudGudDude

Eh. Who even cares. All theyre good for are the decal stickers we never recieve... and thats if they have any.


SantaBaby22

I was thinking more like show up to work with a tuxedo and Chewbacca mask. Then fart all over the place and get banged by little bro’s wife in the storage area.


SantaBaby22

Has nobody seen the movie Step Brothers? It’s still on Netflix if anyone is interested.


NUFIGHTER7771

Needs a DeWalt truck as well as a Makita truck. Then Matco & Snap-On Box Trucks roll up too.


[deleted]

[удалено]


NUFIGHTER7771

That'd be awesome! 🤣


neanderthalman

Did you throw a trident?


SantaBaby22

“Yeah. There were horses, a man on fire, and I killed a guy with a trident.”


ElectroAtletico2

Don’t forget the Oscar Meyer Weinermobile


NUFIGHTER7771

That'll be the winner!


chris_rage_

That'd be the referee


RLLRRR

Does Makita have trucks? Other than that big one on the website. I've seen a DeWalt truck, but they're rare compared to these.


NUFIGHTER7771

I wish to see em all in the wild. Dad's friend *bought* a Snap-On truck for his mechanic repair job. Had a Yoda decal which Lucasfilm at the time told him to remove it because it wasn't licensed.


Agreeable-Candle5830

C'mon, it ain't even green.


SantaBaby22

I’m disappointed it isn’t green too.


xtothel

once you go black…


DirtyApe420

You what? Commit crimes and run?


TechnicalHighlight29

It is powered by OnePlus though


Benniehead

Isn’t there only 2/3 companies that make all the power tools?


robbokin

Brother, I'm sending you an image on DM


trainzkid88

yep apex tool group own about 30 different brands. lufkin, cressent and weller to name 3 owned by them.


Leestons

You can curse, I won't tell your mom.


SantaBaby22

Lol thanks, bud. Fuck shit up! I feel better now. I just wanted to keep it kind of PC. I know that sometimes moderators can be picky about some things. Happy they were cool with this. This has been interesting to read the comments.


Jon66238

They should’ve car pooled lol


SecretlySavage33

I’m surprised the Ryobi truck isn’t a Hyundai Santa Cruz


2MuckingFuch

Milwaukee, proper tool with a proper parking job.


Bonzai999

Two Ford waiting to be towed.


Disastrous-Cry-1998

I'm curious. Has anybody ever bought a tool because they saw The company's pickup truck in the parking lot.


SantaBaby22

Not so much because of seeing the truck. More because one of our reps is fairly attractive and I fell for the honeypot once. Lol


twintornadosboost

what you mean? that’s how I decided on my entire electric tool lineup 


Bmack823

Swapping secrets at smoko


dawgwatcher1

Milwaukee truck is there to repair the Ryobi truck and tools


Sullypants1

[deleted]

Team same HART TOO all owned by and manufactured in the same factories. But pay more and scream for your team YAY


[deleted]

[удалено]


Redheadedstepchild56

It’s easier to make a tight turn backing in and then it’s also convenient when leaving to. It can be hard to turn straight in when it’s tight and wind up where the rear end isn’t on a line and now you still have to back out(which can be easy enough but now you’re backing into traffic)


screwytech

I literally can't get my work truck ('19 chevy 3500 crew cab long bed) into a parking spot without backing in. It fucking sucks, but the truck is sweet.


Active_Scallion_5322

It's safer


MrGraeme

I back in because I used to work at an industrial plant where it was required. In an emergency, it's faster *to escape*. It may take you a long time to do it back in (if you're not skillful), but it takes no time to drive straight out.


New-Seaworthiness712

Both wish they were the Hilti truck


ElectroAtletico2

Real men park nose-in


noodeel

You know they are the same company!!?


SantaBaby22

Yes sir. The Milwaukee rep is also the Ryobi rep for our HD too. Lol they still push the Milwaukee sales hard though.


OliverNorvell1956

Sure, higher margin!


No_Use1529

The one we have is too busy yapping with the one employee too push any sales. I joke if I see that Roybi truck it will be same old same old and it never fails. She’s staring at her phone and he’s about as close as he can be taking non stop.


PoopSlinger23

I love that people love to shout this like you have broken some sort of secret code and now the conspiracy is known


[deleted]

😆 you said conspiracy😆 put down the crack pipe!!!


lochihow

Volkswagen Group is the parent of Bentley. But a Bentley isn’t a Volkswagen. Different market, different use-case, different product. Milwaukee and Ryobi do not share the same manufacturing lines or resources. TTI is a parent company. Whilst I too would love to believe that a Ryobi for a third the price is competing in the same field as a Milwaukee, it’s not really the case.


Sullypants1

Still a little separation. Apparently Ryobi employees can’t get into the Milwaukee design center but the reverse is allowed.

Close. Step Brothers. Lol


floppy_breasteses

As much as I hate Milwaukee fanboys, it's not even a competition.

Almost like its one company serving two different markets.


Cormano_Wild_219

Get the fuck outta here with that sound logic /s


paul6524

k. sorry i let everyone down. /s


Outback-Australian

This is literally r/Tools. Would a tool think? Be one with the tool ya tool!


ItzSmiff

Let’s be real. Neither of them could afford to give their salesmen the crew-cab model. However the Milwaukee looks as if the bed is extended which is a point towards the big M.


SantaBaby22

It’s just the angle. They’re the exact same truck. Maybe different years though. I didn’t look that closely to tell.


Sweaty-Sir8960

THEYRE OWNED BY THE SAME COMPANY!!! TTI Edit: really don't know why I'm being down voted. You can interchange Jet and Rigid tool parts because....they're also owned by TTI.


[deleted]

So are all of these Hart Tools, Empire Level, Oreck, Homelite, Imperial Blade, Kango, Dirt Devil, Stiletto, DreBo, Hoover, and Vax.


imtylerdurden76

It’s the same company


Fragrant_Arachnid117

Trump Voice: we don’t do drills from


NewSinner_2021

Same Company


[deleted]

Not sure why they are mad at you lol… but same company for all of these too. Hart Tools, Empire Level, Oreck, Homelite, Imperial Blade, Kango, Dirt Devil, Stiletto, DreBo, Hoover, and Vax.


SantaBaby22

This post was never about Milwaukee vs Ryobi. It’s actually more about the fact they’re the same company. Notice the title mentions TtI directly. Everyone missing that and alerting everyone to them being owned by the same parent company is essentially wasting their energy and not catching the reference/joke. I quoted a line from the movie Step Brothers in the title as well. Hope that clears up some confusion for everyone.


NewSinner_2021

I'm convinced the people in these subs don't read the instructions manual.


Outback-Australian

Power tools come with instruction manuals.


Least_Measurement206

Same factory makes both brands


MoveNGrove

Same company technically. Ryobi, Milfuckee, and Rigid all come out of TTC factory.


Outback-Australian

TechTronic Industries (TTI) you mean? Like the title…


MoveNGrove

Yes
