Love mine it's a kick ass tool to own. Invest in good bits and screws and it makes so many jobs dead easy. This thing will drive screws through just about anything. Even water pipes. Can vouch for that. Impact drivers detect when the screw has stopped turning and instead of just stripping the head off they start hammering them round - the effect is very noisy and it bashing away at the screw instead of constantly turning will drive it through things like butter. The caveat is the bits need to be strong and the screws not cheap nasty things. As someone said above once you go down this road you will has a WTF was I doing before moment. Additionally women will find you more attractive.

I've just ripped apart a used pallet and reused it to build a planter. I was actually thinking this morning (genuinely) that the impact driver is my best and most used power tool (I have an old Ryobi cordless - as in 15yrs old). It hammers as it screws (!!!) which results in a very secure connection. Even used it to secure plasterboard to stud walls - versatile!

Blimey that brings back memories i had a similar set about 30 years ago, didnt know they were still knocking them out must have sold 10s of millions by now. They lasted me very well, good brand value for money for home user, i probably lost more than I broke or that went dull. Can be fiddly to get get out the case when the drills get a few Burr's on them from the chuck other than that. Good deal

I picked up this one today, more expensive but according to reviews this is a great multi purpose set. https://www.screwfix.com/p/bosch-hex-shank-hex-9-drill-screwdriver-bit-set-35-pieces/619fv#product_additional_details_container

Missed the earlier deal for a fiver cheaper, but this still looked like a good deal, so ordered it! Hot from me :)

I am looking for a drill bit set as I keep on losing them, and I would really appreciate if someone can confirm please their thoughts on this? https://smile.amazon.co.uk/Bosch-Garden-2607019675-X-Line-15-Piece/dp/B001IBMO7C/ref=psdc_1939182031_t2_B000P4IQF2. I will buy the Ryobi straightaway if this fits in, as I am a very occasional in emergency kind of a DIY and I just want to make sure the bare minimum tools are around as scredrivers only take you soo far in an emergency where the shed is falling apart and you need to put some screws/nails in!

Nope.

Good to hear that! Thanks. I think the deWalts come with sense of musculinity and costruction knowledge ha but at the end of the day price is king

De Walt is the one all the tradesmen use but to be honest I reckon it’s just marketing and trade deals. I use Ryobi stuff and have never been disappointed. Except with their work bench which was the worst product I’ve ever used. Stick to tools, Ryobi. I’ve had several Ryobi tools since I moved into my house in 2014 (including 2 drills, a multi tool, a saw, a pump, a lawnmower, a strimmer) and every single one works just as well as the day I bought it. Well, nearly every one. The leaf blower died but to be fair, I stored it incorrectly and I think it got damp. Ryobi tools are excellent.

IS that the most important one? Sorry I'm a complete noob and I just make the whole and scorew anything that fits in it.

I don't personally recommend this torch, its not the brightest and the beam is very narrow. I returned mine. I instead bought the older halogen one, and modded it to take an 12V LED MR16 bulb. Non-dimmable MR16 use a constant current driver, so its no issue running them at 18V rather than 12V. The torch can handle the heat, as its designed for a halogen lamp. Lamp holder is available from Toolstation for 78p, I bought the cheapest LED MR16 I could find, which was approx £3. A bit of work with a hot glue gun and stanley knife and it was all sorted. No photos I'm afraid, lent the torch to someone before lockdown, yet to get it back! *Edit* If you are just after an area work light for DIY etc. I'd probably get the £35 LED project light they do. I only got the torch shape as I wanted it for taking my ball-mad dog to the park in winter.

Also as a note, if you have makita or other drill batteries there are adapters out there to make them work with the ryobi ecosystem as it were.

I think people are missing the point. You can plug a charged 5amp battery into this. If it runs out you grab another off the shelf. If you need to drill or drive somewhere dark the spare battery you take with you will work in either the tool or the torch. Yes its expensive for a LED torch, but its incredibly useful if your into Ryobi. I find even having tons of 18650's lying around, its the Makita or Ryobi batteries that are far more likely to be charged and of course will last longer.

It's more of a work like than a torch. You wouldn't go for a walk at night carrying this thing. The size and shape of it makes it very good for resting on something and pointing the light where you want it.

This thing is massive, get a proper torch for the same money a 20th of the size...

Its gone back up to £74.95 now but still a great deal with 2 batteries and a charger over the bare model Amazon link Hope this helps

Sorry do you have a link

Look on here for the amazon deal, drill two batteries and charger for £69

No this is relatively quiet. I have brushless drill/driver. The driver clicks loudly so when I was doing a deck project after 6pm I switched to this for drilling and driving screws. When using the auto function for driving screws it does not click it just stops. If you press the trigger again on the same screw, be careful it could take your hand off at the wrist (lol) . Really nice drill worth the price. It's twice as much as the entry level Ryobi but 4X better in terms of performance. No brainer if you had the batteries already like I do.

For the people who also have this, do you find when it chooches the noise is really high irritating pitch? I don't normally need ear plugs for drills and impacts but with ryobi its really ear piercing...

Depends if you use it every day, every week, every month or every year... And how long you use it in a single session. Ultimately, if you use it only once a month for 20 minutes, I don't see why the brushed model wouldn't be enough. On the other hand, if you use it for an hour every week, you'll probably benefit from going brushless.

Hmm should I upgrade from the standard brushed strimmer? :/ I've got a few brushless Ryobi tools and they're the bee's knees

You’ll need a battery and charger too.

Brushless is a type of electric motor, it’s much more efficient than traditional electric motors therefore more power.

Wot does brushless mean, I need to do clear a overgrown garden. I think I need something like this. Any helps tips be welcome.

I have the LED version. it's very bright but It's not very good for working in an area as it creates a very bright spot in the middle and this can make it hard to work if you don't want to look at that exact spot. I'm thinking of getting some kind of diffuser lense to stick on

Yeah, the led version, according to historical data on the camels is the lowest price its been. For ~ fiver more than the filiament version (with no rush delivery) thats gotta be worth it. Grabbed one, thanks Frank

On a deal no less, apparently, looks good

£21.99 for the led one at the moment

I had one and swapped the bulb for an LED. Was fine but I eventually got the real LED one in one of the Ryobi Christmas promos and it IS superior.

Is this battery will work with this MODEL??

That deal has gone now.

You cannot go wrong with Ryobi kit! OK, it's not up to the standard of expensive professional gear, the likes of DeWalt, Milwaukee and Makita and more suited to your advanced DIYer, but the overall cost of ownership can be very little if you are clever. I bought 20+ of the Blue ONE+ range + Ni-Cd batteries around 12 years which IMHO looked nicer than the current septic infection green/yellow colour. As the years went by, I sold my Ni-Cd batteries and chargers for not much less than I paid for the Lithium battery replacements. Then started to upgrade to the newer colour scheme about 4 years ago whenever I saw them at very low prices and subsidised the purchase of the new tools by selling my older blue ONE+ tools, which again nearly paid for the new tools. I still have a few blue tools left and will upgrade them when the time comes and their replacements are at as good price. I ended up with the drill mentioned by the OP here, angle grinder and impact driver for virtually less than free as they were part of the free starter pack tool promo a few months back and after buying the three starter packs, selling the chargers, batteries, tool bags and also the free tool, all three tools were less than free. Plus, I also sold the blue version that they were replacing. Gotta say my favourite Ryobi ONE+ tools are the AirStrike 16G Nail Gun, Mitre Saw and Impact Driver. Most useless is the Heat Gun (wife's Dyson hair drier gets hotter), but I suppose that what you get generating heat form 18v batteries. It's about OK for cable heat shrink. Quite fancied the glue gun, but I guess it will take ages to heat up like the heat gun.

"ideal for fast and fluid screwing" Ooooooooooooooooh naughty

My comment was aimed more at the comments regarding lack of torque. Just add a 1/2-inch x 1/4-inch Impact Adaptor to the wrench and it'll drive large screws into wood etc twice as fast as the impact driver.. I have two Ryobi impact drivers but always end up using the wrench with adapter instead. One of my best Ryobi purchases, and I have many, too many I'm told.🤭

I have the brushless impact driver and drill driver. The impact driver is LOUD but works well. Sounds like a prehistoric woodpecker. I started using the drill driver in the evening to drive screws as the other one's clicking is so loud but it nearly took my hand off at the wrist a few times! Made me appreciate the impact driver (y) P.S. I have the glue gun - got it in one of the Ryobi promotions and it's really useful but not sure I'd pay over the odds for it. Keep an eye out for their promotions

It's a completely different tool for a completely different job.

Looking for one also, found £32.95 but have to pay shipping on top.
