About Steve

Steve made his first woodworking project at age 9 (in 1982) and whittled his first wooden chain at 18. He was also a consumer electronics repair tech and shop owner for a little over 20 years, until his impending obsolescence became impossible to ignore. Since then, Steve has focused passionately on manipulating his wood... in his workshop. Don't judge him.

Ask tradespeople what they want most out of a cordless power tool and you’ll hear lots of dreamy musings like “high performance in a smaller, lighter package” and “compatibility with the batteries I already have”.

We just stepped out of a super secret webinar unveiling a new compact-er tool lineup: ONE+ HP; including 6 sweet tools (with another handful or more already waiting in the wings). They’re brushless, even smaller than most current compacts and, best of all, fully compatible with all Ryobi 18V battery packs. Come sneak in the back door with us as we take a gander at the new Ryobi ONE+ HP lineup! And if anyone asks, we’re with the caterers. Read More
