We found that high temperature for the P3150 is achieved a little more than the 10 seconds specified by Ryobi but that wasn’t an issue for us. Having the P3150 on hand made it more enjoyable with not having to fumble in tight spaces with a large corded heat gun. ![]() Fixing the our trailer wiring box is the first task we put it to use on. The heat gun is compact so maneuverability in tight spaces is a plus. We took it into the shop and was able to heat shrink connections without the hassle of dragging out an extension cord and a corded heat gun. This heat gun is just another tool my fleet mechanics are thrilled to see.

Ryobi once again is upping the game in cordless tools with their new 18V ONE + Heat Gun (Model #P3150). I used it over a dozen times but it’s so fast at cleaning small areas that it doesn’t run that long.RYOBI Heat Gun Review – Model P3150 ONE+ 18V Thirdly, the LED headlights are fantastic. You don’t need to even read the instructions, the tool offers enough feedback in its use to figure out the best speed to push. I can’t remember if all Ryobi tools are like this but it makes it easy to see the adjustments and controls. All of the controls are denoted by light gray plastic. The controls are intuitive and easy to use. I could’ve just blown these rocks into the lawn or even back into the street but I’d rather just get rid of them. The city did their best to get all the excess cleaned up before winter but the snowplows shoved a significant amount of rock up on the driveway and sidewalks. Hot liquid tar was spread on the surface and then an abundant layer of granite chips applied. That’s quite a bit rougher than a smooth troweled floor. Still way, way faster than sweeping.įinally was the outdoor hardscape. Also, a small trail was left between the sweepers but was mostly cleaned up on the second pass. One thing I noticed with this type of debris is that the fines generated a fair amount of airborne dust. The extremely caked on areas had to be loosened by scuffing with my boots first but not a big issue. I tested this thing in winter so the debris was caked onto the floor and filled with fines as well as small rocks and sand. With light debris, the unit works better with a faster forward speed. Sawdust can be pretty light so if you push it slow it can sometimes fling the pieces outside of the cleaning swath. At the end of everyday, I tip the mats up and out of the way and make a couple passes with the sweeper in the main walkways. It had a little issue navigating over all of my anti-fatigue mats but that’s mostly because the mats are very light. This little guy does lived up to its name quite well.įirst in the woodshop, the Ryobi Devour picked up small pieces of 2×4 and mouldings, sawdust and shavings, hardware, and even just general dirt. I used this tool in my wood shop, in a residential garage, and on outdoor hardscapes. Just push it around and devour all the dirt and debris in its path. cleaning swath quickly cleans a wide area Adjustable, pivoting handle and rubber feet provide optimal ergonomic and compact storage.Integrated LED headlights provide improved visibility for a number of applications.Transparent tub shows how much debris has been swept. ![]() Rear wheel height adjustment for use on various terrain levels.Conveniently located foot-actuated power switch.Counter-rotating brushes effectively clean along walls and edges.Over 2-hours of runtime using a Ryobi P108 high capacity battery.Powerful dual brushes sweep up large and small debris, including nails and screws, wood scraps and garbage.Adjust the height to the smoothness of the surface, kick the switch, and go. The other first impression I had was that the controls are dead simple to use. Why didn’t anyone make a sweeper cordless before? I guess it took a company that owns both power tool and vacuum brands to mate the two together. What took so long?! That was my first thought the first time I used this guy. A tool that promises to make cleaning easier by devouring anything in its path, there’s no way I was waiting around to take some pictures. Usually with a tool that requires some assembly I’ll snap a couple pictures during that process just to make it clearer for future purchasers of the tool. ![]() Earlier this winter the Ryobi Devour Cordless Sweeper showed up at my doorstep.
