ryobi recall

[karlosmorgan]

Hi all fellow diy'ers... just wondered if anyone else on here has had problems with the ryobi sliding mitre saw recall.Been told every month since october it will be here the next month..now they are saying end of jan.They say the replacements are coming from hong kong and that they are still waiting for them.Feeling it may be a case for watchdog

the only faulty ones were Sold at Bunnings Warehouse and Mitre 10 stores throughout New Zealand from February 2008 to March 2010. or is this another fault!

- from 0208000825 to 0509001796 and

Yes, Ryobi are better quality that Toyota and BMW

And a better recall rate than RR Trent 900 engines too.

Are you responsible for the wood work on those JJ ? Architraves and the like ?

The saw was not locked in place for transit and i,m sure its one thats been reconditioned then sent back out with old packaging very dissapointed with Ryobi, not able to get my money back now so stuck with it. Never touch a ryobi product again after service is rubbish.

I had one of these - was faulty on day one. The blade was basically in contact with the blade guard the whole time, so the first time I used it shards of metal and sparks came flying out the saw.

Took it back and got a Bosch GCM 12 SD Won't buy cheap again.
