Not bad but lacks the full selection of yellow blue or red. And availability becomes a pain
Stuck bolt on cab shocks. Will I have to cut them?

I went with the green tools after starting with a leaf blower to sweep out my trailers, then just sticking with them. A couple of the other brands named are better quality, which would matter more to me if I used them all day every day. Upside with Ryobi is a broad range of tools, value pricing, and they're in Home Depot which is nearly everywhere.
I like my green grinder, but the best tool in my Ryobi collection is the grease gun, without a doubt. Added a Lock-n-lube tip and it takes me about 2 minutes to grease a trailer, and less than 5 to grease a truck.feldsforever Thanks this. -

Gas axe that bolt. Take 10 seconds max and it'd be out.
feldsforever and lester Thank this. -
Whenever I do shocks, cab mounts, u-bolts etc I don't even bother trying to save them and have new ones on hand before I start. Being that a shop charges by the hour, 1 seized bolt could cost more in labour than replacing them all anyways.
feldsforever, spsauerland and xsetra Thank this. -
I used my 1/2 inch drive Milwaukee fuel today to R and R some tires on my trailer. To say I was impressed is an understatement. Loosened the nuts with ease and tightened with ease. I didn't think I rattled em back on that hard but when I checked them with my torque wrench they were pretty much all good already.
Can't imagine I would ever think about buying a 3/4 or inch drive with the power of the 1/2feldsforever Thanks this. -
I will pull the air bag out as it is easy to remove and do as others say cut shock and bolt out with the torch, use lots of anti seize on reassembly.
feldsforever Thanks this. -
I did end up cutting the bolt. I can't believe the local hard ware store had the exact one I needed. Thanks every one for your advise.
RedForeman Thanks this. -
Tractor supply sells nuts and bolts by the pound. Some stores are better stocked than others.
