Which Fan Should I Choose: Milwaukee or Ryobi?
Asked by ToolTinkerer92
I'm trying to decide between a Milwaukee or a Ryobi fan for my needs. I already own a bunch of Milwaukee M12 tools and have several M18 products like a string trimmer and blower. I need a fan that's versatile for general use around the house and shed, as well as for outdoor work when I'm doing repairs on my rental properties. Most importantly, I want it for those super hot days when I'm in the dugout during baseball games. Just to note, I don't have any Ryobi tools at the moment. Any recommendations?

I have both the Ryobi and the Milwaukee fans and I can say the Packout M18 Milwaukee fan is superior thanks to its variable speed settings. It also plugs in using a standard extension cord, unlike the Ryobi which has a 3-speed option and needs a power brick.

The Ryobi whisper fan is a solid choice, too. It's super affordable and quiet. Plus, if you ever need to move it around, it's light enough that you won't have to worry about it getting lost.

If you're considering options, the Hercules fan is pretty decent as well. It goes for around $25 and while the price fluctuates, you might find a good deal on places like eBay or local markets.

ChillVent1: That's a good point about the Packout. I like having more control over the fan speed!
