Same for me, I never knew. I’m also proud that I haven’t been around enough Ree oe bee to know how to properly say it : P
A Working Pro since 2004
I pronounce it CRy-O-Bee….cuz you’re gonna BEE CRYing when you realize it is a piece of junk and you wasted your money…..hehehe!
You show up with Ryobi on a job site and you’re going to at least get snickered at. You go around pronouncing it as the Japanese do, around here, and guys are going to start referring to you as “that pompous ___”.
Dirty would say it’s wrong.
No I wouldn’t
In our country we do not say it the same way they do in the country of origin.

Honestly I do not know how to pronounce “Ryobi”. I try not to use bad words. Instead, I like to say things like “Bosch”, “Fein”, “Milwaukee”, and “DeWalt”…:-)

@sergey061478 Ryobi and Milwaukee are both owned by TTI and my money says they come out of the same plant in China…. Just saying,,,,,,Honestly I do not know how to pronounce “Ryobi”. I try not to use bad words. Instead, I like to say things like “Bosch”, “Fein”, “Milwaukee”, and “DeWalt”…:-)

have they always been owned together? It seems ryobi is trying to make a huge image change to appeal to a wider spectrum of users.

Unfortunatelly you are 100% correct! All their cordless tools come from the same TTI plant. The brands are Craftsman, Ryobi, Milwaukee and Ridgid. Not sure about their corded Milwaukee tools. I still have some US-made corded milwaukee tools. They just refuse to die…

I think TTI Industries bought these brands around 2006. They started with cordless tools and later moved on to corded. Originally, TTI was manufacturing everything for Ridgid, which was a decent-quality brand in my opinion. I still have some Ridgid tools, and they are still going strong…

LOL. Agree 100% on the piece of junk statement. The only lower quality brand when it comes to cordless tools is Craftsman these days. It it a piece of junk raised to the power of two.

No, Rice TTI has been on a buying spree for the last 15 or 20 years. Ryobi is a good Japanese brand and TTI only bought their export division. So Ryobi in Japan is still a Japanese brand and not TTI. At some point they bought Milwaukee and sent all the American jobs over to China. HD has them build most of the Ridgid power tools. TTI has resenty bought Hart hammers. They own Knaack job boxes and dirt devil vacuums along with a list of others.

I did not know that. Thanks for pointing this out. Still, I would not buy a Ryobi…ever…

Have you ever used the tools? I have and don’t see your point. I know some good carpenters that use the Ryobi tools.

No argument there. They say it’s not the tool that makes great things, it’s the skill behind the tool!
Now how the hell is a thread of this nature getting so much mileage?

I saw a young lady in Costco today giving out samples She was from Osaka Japan and her name tag had Kokoro on it. I said hi Kokolo, how do you say your name and she said you said it it right. Even it is in their roman letters of their name they don’t say the r sound.

Point taken. I know I learned a lot of Chinese pronounciation oddities being around some Chinese people over the years.

Yah I don’t mind them as much as someone gave me a 18v ryobi drill and it works great,in fact I really like the magnet to hold extra screws

Yes I have used Ryobi in the past. Made that mistake once…will not do that again. I think it is a matter of personal preference. And I prefer not to use Ryobi.
