![]() It is designed to eat up large debris, not clean like a vacuum. I’m not sure how well it would work on sand and salt, for example. It is much more for jobsite use than these strange suggestions above. It is not going to get anything as clean as a broom, nor is it meant to! It would not pick up every piece of sawdust, or fine dust, but will pick up scraps as big as you would normally have to pick up by hand. I tried it out in my local HD and had no problem picking up big chunks of wood, steel pipe, copper tubing, nails, screws, anything big enough to pick up, just sucked right in. Oh, now there are Makita housing 3d models, so you only need the terminal block which can be readily bought.Ī lot of you have had concern about what this will pick up, and I’d like to address some of those questions. Don’t blame me if you try this and burn your tools, hands, house etc. You don’t get the battery clicking and retaining into the Ryobi tool, but a bit of velcro strap sorts that out. I reused the connection wire from the Ryobi connector and soldered it to the Makita terminals. If I needed it more permanent I’d have used expoxy. ![]() Then married the 2 up with a bit of sanding and grinding and used hotmelt to join. The Ryobi battery comes to pieces nicely and you can chop off and reuse the protrusion that goes into the tool. Then chopped the Makita tool just above the battery housing. I bought an old Ryobi battery for £10, and the cheapest Makita tool I could find (usually an old incandescent torch, or sometimes the housings can be for sale on their own). ![]() It is better to use the “B” style batteries with the LED gauge on the front, and be REALLY careful not to run them down much past half way. So far I have the cordless glue gun and the car/airbed inflator. I made an adaptor to use Makita batteries on Ryobi. ![]() Does it take up too much space for storage? Realistically, does it take up much more space than a push broom? I’m trying to think of reasons why someone for use of a tool like this might not to get one. And the brushes are replaceable too, at least according to the user manual. 2 hours of runtime, a 4.5 gallon tank, and LED lights? Looks like they dialed things in nicely. I haven’t seen this in person yet, but it looks like a home run. The name, though – a verb? “Devour.” It seems like “Devourer” seems more appropriate. I can imagine someone saying “I wish I had an easier way to clear up all these wood chips and other debris that I can’t just vacuum up,” and then *poof* there’s the 18V cordless Devour. Ryobi keeps giving me the impression that they’re up for designing and building anything, and that’s a good thing. More Info(User Manual PDF) First Impressions Price: $139, battery and charger not included The Ryobi Devour sweeper can be stored upright, with the handles folded and facing up. If that happens, take the battery pack out and clear the obstruction. What happens of the Devour gets clogged? The motor will stop automatically and the LED headlights will flash for 10 seconds. You can also adjust the handle length, for comfort. There are bristle deflectors, on the left and right side of the unit, and also and adjustable brush height control knob which lowers or raises the rear caster wheel. The battery port is at the rear of the sweeper, as is a foot-operated on/off botton.
