 "Ryobi 18v Drill/Driver and Circular Saw" 2010-02-16
By The Troller (Washington State)
I purchased the Ryobi Drill/driver and saw as part of a kit several years ago. The thing that interested me the most was the low price of the batteries compared to the DeWalts and Makitas. You can get two Ryobi batteries for less than the price of one DeWalt. Battery life is good for drilling, but if you are driving heavy screws or lag bolts, you better have two batteries charged before you start. On larger projects, I have had to delay finishing my work when the batteries couldn't keep up with the pace, despite having a fast charger. The good news is that more new batteries are not that expensive. However, my experience is that these batteries don't have the lifespan one would like to see. I am an avid homeowner/user and am in an apparent state of remodeling our 1950's rancher style home. About every 18 months, the Ryobi batteries seem to need to be replaced as they just won't hold a charge. In fact, my last new set have been the most disappointing.



The drill does a good job of drilling and driving. The chuck's quality is fair to good, and is subject to occasional slipping on drill bits if loaded up. I recently predrilled 2x8 headers and drove some 3/8 lag bolts with this driver. It did an OK job, but despite adequate predrilling, I still had to finish the job by hand. For the casual homeowner who is only going to be putting up the occasional shelf or picture, this is a great tool for the money. But if you are going to be really working it hard, I'd consider something with more torque. The manufacturer doesn't list torque on their website, just drill/driver speeds.



Overall this is a good product. I've beaten the crap out of it, and it still runs. However, it's grinding now during heavy work, so I'll be looking for a replacement soon.



The CIRCULAR SAW that came with the kit only sees the most occasional use. It has so little clearance that it barely makes it thru a 2x4. If you aren't going to be sizing 2x4's with a tool like this, what good is it, really? I've used it to cut off plywood panels, and it works OK, as long as you only need it for a few cuts. As other reviewers have noted, this goes thru your batteries like there is no tomorrow. If I am setting up to cut several pieces of wood for a project, this tool stays in the bag and I get out the corded tool. If you lift up from the wood even a millimeter or two, the blade's small size won't clear thru a 2x4. I would give the saw only 2 stars due to it's battery hunger and inability to cut thru a 2x4 with any clearance. You would never use this for any real miter work due to the clearance issue.



My kit also came with a detail sander and a flashlight. The FLASHLIGHT is a real star, and works great under the car with it's adjustable head and ability to stand on it's own. I rarely use the sander, prefering to use my other corded machines instead.

 "Tools are great, batteries are not" 2010-02-06
By T. Keenan (San Diego, CA)
I bought this set to lay down some laminate in a few rooms in my house. The saw works well for that purpose but struggles going through anything even remotely thick. I used it to cut through some 1.25 inch thick stair-nosing and the battery had to be recharged after every step. However, the drill is great and is able to handle just about anything I throw at it and the battery lasts much longer in the drill. The battery contacts have begun to wear out after just 3 months of moderate to heavy usage. One battery won't charge anymore and I had to take apart the charger and use it upside down in order to get the second battery to charge.



Given such a low price for a drill, saw, two batteries, and a charger, this set is fine for small projects around the house.

I have used both of the tools and they work great. I especially love the cordless saw.

 "Works better than my old drill!" 2009-10-23
By Warren E. Cortesi
These item's hardly seemed reconditioned. They were very lightly used it appears.

Haven't really had much chance to test them out, but so far the drill is much better than the 14.4 volt Craftsmen it replaces!

 "Solid Performers" 2009-07-14
By Leon W. Blocker (Muscatine, Iowa United States)
The good wife bought this set for me, and it is surprising in two ways - I can't believe how long the NiCad battery lasts in the drill, and how brief it lasts in the saw. Really, it seems like the drill can't be driven dead even after dozens of 9 X 3.5" deck screws. I went through almost an entire box! The battery is like every horror movie monster you can think of - it just will not die... until you put the same battery in the saw.



Lordy! Throw fifteen 2 X 4's at the fully charged battery and we are talking doornail dead. Yeah, it's nice to not have a cord and I didn't think I was abusing the saw - I was letting the saw move at the pace it wanted to chew through the wood and before you know it, just nothing. I am going to try plywood next and a different blade made for plywood and see how many feet I can get.



If you are going to do even half-serious ripping get more batteries and keep them charged. You will need it with this battery-sucking mini-monster of a saw.
