SiWhite Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 Are they any good - I'm interested in feedback on the Ryobi ONE+ cordless tools in general, and the cordless impact wrench in particular. I'd like to get a cordless impact, and I like the fact that so many of their tools use the same battery and charger. The 135NM rating seems a bit low compared to others - will that suffice or will I wish I had more capacity? Quote
FridgeFreezer Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 I have a Ryobi ONE+ sabre saw and I it, seems decent quality and a damn handy thing to boot. Quote
Les Henson Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 I have a Ryobi drill - it's heavy but feels like it'll last forever. They seem to be very tough tools. Les. Quote
BennyB Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 I have several of the Ryobi one plus tools, including the impact driver. Its a very robust tool, the torque is quite low and it will struggle with larger nuts (it will take off wheel nuts but it takes it out of the battery and won't undo all nuts on one battery). I have used it on lots of nuts and bolts on the discovery and normally works well. They also do a good lamp and a 12v car charger. I supose it depends what you want to use it for, if its to undo larger nuts all day get somthing bigger. Quote
white90 Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 I have a Ryobi Router very good quality. As for impact guns I crack the wheel nuts with a break bar then use the impact gun to remove them saves the battery, although fully charged it will undo and refit a couple of sets of wheels I have the Dewalt large version though, I see they are cheap on ebay-minus the batteries which are also available seeperatly on there Quote
gav- Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 i have 2 - brought as a package from lawson tools. they are great tools. i gutted my whole house and rebuilt it with the use of these tools. i would recommend them Quote
Troddenmasses Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 I work Saturdays at the local well known diy store, and I have never seen one brought back. Not cheap (particularly from where I work - try screwfix for a better price) but seem to last. I mainly use dewalt stuff, but would definately look at the Ryobi when I next need something. Quote
Guy H Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 Just to add my praise for the Ryobi One+ kit, I use a fair bit of it, got some when it first came out and it's still going strong after a couple of years of abuse. The batteries are also still good n strong. Keep an eye open for good deals at B&Q or Screwfix that come with a tool or two a bag, charger & 2 batts then flog on Ebay the bits you don't want and you end up with extra charger(s) & batts for next to nothing.

SiWhite Posted October 21, 2007 Author Posted October 21, 2007 Thanks for all the feedback guys - and especial thanks to Guy H for finding that link - I'd been looking for ages for a value pack that didn't include something I didn't need! Ordered one this morning Quote
