It's actually a very clever ad for a surfing mag, quite funny in reality.  Probably should not take it too seriously.  However, I will not buy Ryobi again because of it.

Tools for tools?

I actually thought it was pretty funny also. 

Plus, Ryobi finally found some materials their tools can cut through without binding.

Always nice to have manufactureres narrow down the choices for you. I think Riyobi stuff pretty much sucks anyway. I bought some of their early Lithium stuff and it's worthless.

It's a great example of what happens when an advertising agency runs out of ideas. Pit one group against another. Brilliant.

It's also a little ironic that the circular saw in the ad couldn't even come close to making the cuts illustrated in that 4" + thick Laird...

Jim, run'em angry and bring'em back under warranty (several times, that'll learn them)!  Have to love that salt water environment.
