    Thanks Loring. The second in the list you posted looks like maybe what I want. Although the third that does 2 batteries at the same time is interesting. For now I have 2 single battery chargers. Probably use them as is for now...

    I have the charging station and really like it. There is a feature about it that some don't like but it doesn't bother me: When you load two or three or even 6, it does not charge all at the same Time. It only charges one at a time and then moves on to the next one. Since I have about 15 batteries, (two 6Ah, eight 4Ah, five 2Ah) I never have to wait on one to be charged to use it, SO, I have no problem with the charger just charging one at a time and moving on to the next after one is re-charged. (BTW, I have purchased only 6 batteries over the past 10 years, the rest came with a tool.)
    That is good info to have. There are several multi battery charging stations. Which one do you have?

    I'd post links but for some reason Home Depot site doesn't let me do that...

    I am between the 6 battery fast charger, or the 6 battery dual chemistry charger. I don't think I need the dual chemistry though. Aren't they all Lithium Ion now?

    So the herd of batteries. 2 @ 6a/h HP, 2 @ 4a/h HP, 1 @ 2a/h HP, 2 @ 1.5a/h.

    The ones under 6 a/h wre all included as part of package deals / sales where the battery and charger being included were actually cheaper than the bare tool. (They screwed up and sent me 2 4a/h batteries instead of 1...)

    The 6a/h were bought on Amazon for half the price of Home Depot, sold by Ryobi fulfilled by Amazon so something to think about...

    As a refresher, the tools I have so far are...

    3/8 VSR driver / drill
    1/2" Hi Torque impact wrench
    5" orbital sander
    10" chainsaw.

    I think I am going to go with a battery / charging station, and hang my tools in a method similar to Jim Frye once I figure out HOW...

    I have the 18 ga brad nailer and the 23 ga pin nailer. They have pretty much replaced my old, but durable and still useful Central Pneumatics of the same guage. I don't use nailers often enough to keep the air compressor at the ready. It's handy when I'm making a quick one-off jig or fixture to grab either Ryobi and "kapoink kapoink" a few quick fasteners. Downside of the 18 ga is it's a bit heavy. That's a tradeoff for not having to drag a hose around or have a small portable compressor for projects outside the shop.

    I have the blue version of the trim router. A 1/8" radius round over pretty much lives in it, but it's handy for many other simple tasks where a larger, corded router is too bulky.

    I'm contemplating one of the hot glue guns and the multi-tool.

    I have a King Authur Merlin ll 2” angle grinder that I like for small stuff. When I bought it as a set it had a good assortment of grinders and flapper wheels. My favorite were the 2” fiberglass reinforced cut off disks. They were just like the 4 1/2, 5 and 6” disks that I used on my other angle grinders, just smaller. The price for me to replace the larger size disks were .50 to $1. each. I burned through the Merlin ll disks in about 30 seconds each cutting off a 1/4” bolt. No problem, I’ll just order more. STICKER SHOCK, they are $6.49 each. Several years later I still haven’t replaced the 2” disk.

    Usually most people prefer the biggest of anything, Ryobi has made some things smaller, one being the small sawzall and the other being a cut-off tool as seen here:
    https://www.homedepot.com/p/RYOBI-ON...S02K/314003910

    I have the small cut-off tool and it sure seemed too small to be used much, but it sure has come in handy for me in many situations. I keep it close by instead of in the shop with all the tools. It has been handy with bolts that are too long, bands, fence fixing, nails sticking out. I have only had it about 6 to 7 months and it has been used far more than I would have thought.

    Ever have a good tool and had the thought, should I get the ???? or do I need to get it out to use it just once? Well, this little tool is the handy one, and it is the first thing I think of when I need to cut a bolt or nail off, and small enough to fit in areas that the long battery powered angle grinders can't get into easily. This is one fine compact cut off tool.

    My shop radio is also a One+ unit. I also have a One+ fan. It gets used a lot too.

    How are those hung? Can you take a closeup pic? It looks like from here you have some sort of wrist straps on them... I think I like the idea of hanging them like that. I can put cupholders under my clamshell cabinets and hang these things if I could figure out how to attach them... Means less fuss with a cordless tool station as well...

    I started with things that were hard for old hands. I replaced my Makita 9V stick crown stapler first, then added a PEX crimp ring tool because the manual one I had was hard to operate in tight spaces, followed that by replacing my Wagner power (D batteries) caulking gun and then added a work light that was a freebie with the batteries. I added the 1 gal sprayer for pretreating the siding before a power wash and it was great to use. Can't imagine what I'll add next?

    almost bought one of these to make into a mower mounted lawn sprayer to apply lawn food. I need a 4 gal. tank and never went through with it.

    Oooh, cordless hedge trimmer! That's good. I hate dragging the extension cord all over the yard! Not going to bother with the inflator. I have a 12v one already for my road tools.

    I don't know if this is my most used One+ tool but it is hands down my favorite. Rather than putting weed killer on the entire lawn, I can go out and individually murder dandelions, clover, and other weeds. It's easy to clean and no pumping. 2 gallons is too big for my uses though and I'd buy a 1 gallon or smaller if I were to do it again.
