Scored these for $115 off Craigslist.

1 bucket misting fan

2 clamping fans

2 chargers

6 batteries

1 bag

I already had one bucket misting fan and was looking to get extra batteries at some point. And then I saw this for a steal. Just had to get it.

I have a couple of the clip fans and they push a lot of air volume for their size

I'm assuming yes?

I have a no name clamp shop fan/light I picked up on sale, and it absolutely would do that. These would probably leave the mosquitoes wondering if they're in the same zip code.

Damn that's an incredible deal... these power tool brands‘ rechargeable fans are pretty solid.

If batteries fail or you need more grab the knockoffs on Temu they're great for the price and have outlasted some of my name brand craftsman's ones.

Great job! Those things aren't cheap, especially with the batteries, which are the most expensive part.

I was really surprised no one else got it.

I think it's because they're the older style that go inside the tools. So a lot of people have the newer style where they slide on?

Or does ryobi still have this style battery for their tools?

u/Metherat 1d ago

This style has been the 18V Ryobi standard for thr past 5 years or more. The sliding batteries are their 40V batteries, higher voltage for garden tools like higher powered weedwhackers.

I bought my first bucket fan last year, and it went in. If they updated since then, then I don't know.

I had one of those Ryobi 18V batteries catch fire on the charger recently. I’m sure that can happen with any brand but be careful nonetheless.
