how realiable are ricochets ?

[WillyC2106]

I have heard ricochets are reliable and others say they arent so I want to know if they r any good. dont post a reply if u dont have one. i also want to know if it feeds faster than a 12v revy?

My first richochet started having problems after about 6 months... The ball sensor stopped working right and would not feed consistantly. Ricochet customer service is good though and they replaced my old ric. (took less than a week to get a replacement)with a newer version that seems to be better than the original. The new ric. has a much quieter motor and a fluted neck thats easier to sand down to the correct size.

The way ricochet hands out replacements so quickly leads me to believe that the quality of their product is marginal. I use the ric. as a backup hopper now with a halo as my primary.

Comparing the stock 12v rev. to the ric. I think the ric. is faster because the 12v rev. pauses with the stock board. I let a friend with a tricked out 12v rev.(he has a WAS board and diff. paddle) try my ric. and he feels the ric is slower than the upgraded 12v revvy.

i havent had any problems with my ric and its definately faster than my 12v revvy (stock though) i am and have been happy with my ric, it feeds fast and has nice features and a smaller profile than revvies IMO. i have no complaints or regrets about mine (well except for sanding it to fit my sonic low rise on my old bushy, now its too small for my STO... but oh well)
