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.

If DeWalt did that I would be pissed.

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.
