“Best Buy” Battery Tools
 ✖  |
Scott Geyer, Lakeville, Minn.: “I’m not a farmer by trade so I don’t need commercial-grade battery tools like DeWalt and Milwaukee for my projects. Like most people, I have invested in a brand and now continue to expand on my tools, which are Ryobi. I use their 18V batteries for the normal tools but have found a few to be quite handy.
“The Ryobi inflator/deflator is great for bike and lawn tractor tires as well as topping off truck tires when cold weather turns on the low tire pressure warning. It’s also quite handy for air mattresses and floating toys for the pool or lake. I find it useful enough to keep in a kit I carry in my vehicle.
“I also carry their jump starter. While the unit is larger than some of the smaller ones that look like an electronics charger, the unit uses the batteries I already have and works better than putting vehicles together to jump-start battery to battery.
“Their handheld flashlight has become my ‘go to’ and stays with my kit. It seems to run forever on a battery and puts out good light. It’s a little awkward when working topside on a vehicle but for everything else it has exceeded my expectations. It came in a kit with a few other tools that I bought.
“Possibly my favorite battery accessory tool is the cordless hybrid forced air propane heater. It puts out 30,000 to 60,000 Btu from a regular propane cylinder and can go anywhere. The fan directs lots of heat and makes working in the cold bearable.
“I don’t recommend their cordless electric snow shovel. The battery doesn’t last and it’s too narrow at just 10-in. to move any snow. That, along with their 18V hand-held pressure washer, were tools I regretted buying.”
