Ryobi R18PD3RID-215S 18V ONE+ Cordless Combi Drill and Impact Driver Starter Kit (2x 1.5Ah) Amazon Exclusive

I just got my delivery today and I am doing full home renovations. I have bought cheap power tools before and you can just feel the difference between a named brand and a no named brand. Don't waste money on some cheap no name brand. Ryobi might not be the most powerful tool you can get but its has lot going for it. It would recommend this to anyone looking for a quality tool at a fair price.

I have been looking at impact drivers for around a year now, on and off, deciding what I need and whether any of my home projects really need or require one. Because of that, I never got around to purchasing one but have kept up to date with most of the sets around and their features etc.... So having nearly burnt out my old faithful Stanley fat max drill (fairly large summerhouse disposal) while taking out seemingly thousands of deeply imbedded screws, the realization came apparent, that this was built with an impact driver.Either way, I revisited the thought process for buying one, do i need it? will it be worth it? how much are they? what else can i use it for? etc..I started the search by looking at specs again like what's the best torque rating I can get for the cost, also, what are the reviews for each brand like? I had looked at a similar set to this ryobi one on a well known diy site and found that while cheaper, it was lower spec and out of stock. That version was a carbon copy of this except the driver was lower powered 160NM and not the 220NM offered in this kit.For me nearly breaking my ole trusty Stanley drill made me realize that I need to use the right tool for the right job and there is no point in struggling with the wrong tools. For the cost and benefits gained so far the impact driver has been excellent, performing above and beyond in terms of comfort, power, and lumination as well (tri led are awesome). I should have done this ages ago and saved time and effort! The kit itself was an exclusive on amazon, and I could NOT find it better priced for the spec anywhere. With this kit I was not only able to get an impact driver, but a replacement drill at slightly lower power than my old one which is great!Plus for a long time I had been unsure of what brands all in one battery system to go with since having a selection of random brands, and im really pleased that this Ryobi kit is as good as I thought. I already started looking at Reciprocating saws that are compatible, so the tool expansion is in full swing! I highly recommend this kit, and will buy other components part of the ONE+ system. It would be preferable for the tools to come in a proper ryobi box rather than a bag, but its not too bad oh and the charger for the kit is lit up like a christmas tree flashing at different charge stages etc..Overall no concerns whatsoever withBuild qualityWarranty lengthCharge timeComfortUseabilityReliabilityAll are great. Ryobi represent a great introduction into power tools and one-type-fits-all battery systems and I highly recommend.UPDATE 06/04/21: Had the tool for a few weeks and I used the impact driver for the first time to put some wood together but I noticed afterwards that the impact driver was making a grinding/metallicy noise and so had to return but as always amazon customer services are excellent and have issued a full refund including postage and so I have now ordered it again.UPDATE 07/04/21: Received the replacement and all working fine! FYI i recommend purchasing some quality inpact bits as this drill will shred the cheap stuff

My son had tried to put up a coat hanger but was having trouble with a conventional cordless drill. On trying the Ryobi heavy duty one it was so easy and quick. This was well worth the money particularly if you have cheap breeze block walls that have stones in them. There is a normal hammer drill which works well as a screw driver as well as the heavy duty one which takes the bigger drill bits. A great buy and the best thing is, if we buy any other Ryobi product we don't need new batteries as they fit all their products

My old bosch battery tools are getting to end of life, so looked around and the concept of the ryobi one tool range appealed as I also need some to the allotment. Good price range and I didn't want a battery for every tool as I can only use one at a time.Impact driver took a bit of getting used to with confidence, but soon I was a pro ha ha. The drill is as good as my old bosch but a little heaver, time will tell on endurance.Boughtca circular saw before and that is super

Having both types of drill has been a godsend. Because of the investment into Ryobi batteries, which have great battery life, I have bought other Ryobi tools. Good build quality and function well. Very happy with the size, weight and power.

Have given these a good work out, used on multiple jobs, materials, and wall types, and so far they have not missed a beat, the impact driver is the best screw driver I have ever used, both as an engineer and as a DIYer, and the drill is decent too. More than man enough to do all I have asked of it, I have not managed to flatten the betteries in use yet, so for the average user should be ample.

First time using this make they are fantastic value for money.. can't complain. Will probably add more from the same range. Great battery life. 5 stars

great item wobderfull drill
