@chienfou@narfcake I’m not sure Ryobi’s deal and how exclusive they are, but you can also buy them from tools direct website and physical stores. Amazon sells them. And Ryobi’s sells their products themselves online.
I notice this has a triangular 12v battery that looks very similar to Milwaukee M12. Also for a time (when Sears was still around) there was a Craftsman 12v tool series with similar batteries. I wonder if they are compatible at all? sometimes there is a plastic key tab that is in different places so have to do some mods yourself. Just wondering if the TackyLife tools may be similar, and cheap enough to play with.
… there was a Craftsman 12v tool series with similar batteries.
@pmarin Craftsman Nextec. OEM was Chervon, which currently owns Flex, Skil/Skilsaw, and ODMs for Kobalt. Their target and competition was Bosch’s 10.8V/12V and Milwaukee’s new (at the time) M12 lineup.
The terminal arrangement is all different, however:

What’s “24 Months Card” under included?
@JvB I believe it’s a 24 months service card, however not sure what good it is because I don’t think they are around anymore.
@Ignorant thanks…atleast you still get the physical card!
I would be really impressed if you can get Ryobi for sale on here. Please.
@OnionSoup
Oh Hell YEAH!
@chienfou @OnionSoup Alas, as Ryobi is exclusive to Home Depot and TTI controls its distribution, indeed it will be hard to acquire.

So they’re not 100% exclusive to Home Depot.
@chienfou @OnionSoup The Amazon listings are from third party sellers w/Amazon fulfillment.
Direct Tools Outlet is TTI’s outlet. Every brand they resell are TTI’s.

note 2nd picture looks like wrong tool it has a slide-in battery, probably an 18/20V system, maybe based on Black & Decker.
