Have purchased from CPO Ryobi before...has always been great ...but this time the items were a little rough. They do work but their condition did not inspire a high level of confidence upon opening the packaging. This was likely a fluke. I know they can do better...and usually do.

I like this combo kit. I use these tools for set building, and switch them all day. I use the drill a lot, but granted, I don't use anything continuously all day. The drill is great, usually the torque autoshift is just convenient and faster, but sometimes it would be nice to start manually downshifted, though pulling the trigger just a little fits the bill. The trigger though has too long of a pull before it activates. The magnetic screw holder is a lifesaver. This tool is heavier and less torquey than the big names, but does everything I've needed... anything else would be a job for a more powerful tool in the first place. The saws are both totally awesome, especially the circular. The safeties are a slightly annoying feature... come on, these are power tools, they are inherently unsafe, and no safety will stop a fool from hurting himself! Ryobi is the only brand to include this (ironically, what looks like a safety in other brands actually locks the saw trigger in place). The light is great, though for at least the past three years no light can be excused for not being an LED, and it's not. Does Ryobi, or most of the other manufacturers for that matter, think we failed to notice the rapid proliferation of these lights? The batteries are great... these lithium tools are better than any NiCads of any brand. And the fact that they slap in instead of slide on like Makita or Milwaukee is far easier. I appreciate that the batteries are backwards compatible to previous tools... though I wish they would hurry up and make everything this green color so all my future stuff would match! The charge level button on the battery is so cool and useful, though it isn't present on the compact one. I would rather have had two large batteries, though I appreciate a lighter battery once in a while.



I was worried about buying this kit, some people bag on Ryobi tools because they're cheaper... but they work fantastic! Bottom line is that I could not have afforded most brands of combo kit, and I needed tools! I gave them a shot, as they were warranted, and these tools work very well... they've made me an independent force to be reckoned with! I'll be looking into the power paint backpack system soon. Thanks, Ryobi, you're helping me work like a pro even though I'm just starting out.

 "Reconditioned Ryobi 12V" 2010-05-27
By P. BENDER (Cincinnati, Oh)
Really like this little drill. Has lots of power and is very light. It replaces my 14.4 Bosch nicad drill. The batteries are starting to go bad. Instead of buying new batteries for the Bosch, I purched this Ryobi instead. Its a great deal, 2- 12V lithium batteries,a charger and a drill for $67.00. The Ryobi is about half the weight of the Bosch. If a battery goes bad on the Ryobi, I will just buy another reconditioned drill for $67.00.

 "Great drill for the money" 2010-03-21
By Hydrangia Avidose
I'll keep this short. My 1/2" corded hammer drill and 15 amp Sawzall are from Bosch. I wanted a compact cordless 3/8" drill/driver for a carry-anywhere tool. The Bosch alternatives were far too expensive. $200 for a drill and $150 for the drill/driver that just didn't have the torque or rpm's I needed.



I looked at the Milwaukee and Dewalt units. Same story. Way too expensive for a throw-around tool and the drill/driver units just weren't fast or strong enough.



I looked at the cheaper units (Ryobi, Black and Decker, Toolshop, etc.) and found that the lightest and most compact of the 3/8" drills was the Ryobi 12V Lithium Ion. Better yet, it came with two batteries and a charger.



I bought the package, came home, and immediately plugged the battery into the charger. The charger's a pretty nice little unit - it flashes red while testing the battery to see if it's in good operating condition. If it is, it flashes green while charging and stays solid green when fully charged. 40 minutes later, no kidding, the first battery is charged. I slap it into the drill and put the second battery in the charger.



I've only used the unit for the last few days, but it's been an invaluable little tool. Very lightweight, it holsters easily (even in a jeans pocket). The batteries are very compact and show little sign of slowing down even after some pretty gnarly use (drilling through 1/4" stainless steel, etc.)



I give this a tool a 4, simply because for its price range, it is just great. Cheap, charges fast, holds a charge, and comes with a charger and two batteries.



I would give this tool a 5 if it came with ambidextrous belt-clips mounted on the tool and if the tool was even more compact and/or lighter.

 "Review incomplete due to problem" 2010-02-27
By Pig Pen
I was in the middle of a project when my old drill died, which was a 3/8" Craftsman cordless. When I looked around for a comparable drill, I found that they have gotten pretty pricey. This Ryobi caught my eye. The company has a good reputation, and because I only use the drill a few times a year, I thought a reconditioned one would serve my needs. I ordered it from Amazon on Feb. 24, 2010 and it was delivered by FedX on Feb 26. Certainly prompt service, but I am in a state adjacent to Georgia where it was shipped from. I unpacked it and found that it was in a carrying case. I read the manual for the drill and charger. The manuals were new, printed for reconditioned units. I unpacked the battery, charger and drill, which had the 2nd battery attached. I tried to operate the drill but there was no response. I put the battery on the charger, and after a minute or two, the flashing light indicators indicated that the battery was defective. It would not charge. I charged the remaining battery and it charged fine. The drill then operated.



Before doing anything, I contacted CPORyobi support and the email response says they have submitted my request for a replacement battery to the factory. If I do not hear anything within 10 days, get back in touch. Consequently, me and my project are on hold. I read the fine print in CPO's return policy, and it says UNUSED items can e returned within 30 days for a refund. I am a patient guy, but my project is waiting. If I do not get a good battery within 10 days, I am going to get a refund and go to Lowes and buy a new one



This does bring up an issue I had not thought about. These units have been used, including the batteries, and you do not know how much life is left in them. New ones cost about the same as this drill, and that would double the cost of this bargain. I will update this review if and when the battery problem is resolved and I can actually try out the drill.



This is a March 10, 2010 update:



I received a replacement battery from the manufacturer today. I gave the drill a test run drilling a 1/4" inch hole in a 1/8" thick aluminum strip, and it worked fine, It is a light, nicely balanced basic drill, and should be adequate for my needs. I hope I get a few years out of it. CPO Ryobi lived up to their word.

By bobby 1961 (iowa)
Purchased new at Home Depot. No this review is not for the re-conditioned model. This is the one that SHOULD be re-conditioned, I guess. Wont hold a charge after use. Fully charged and not even used, the thing is dead as a doornail after sitting idle for 2 or three days. I googled this drill for user reviews. All I could find were two pages of new or re-conditioned batteries for sale...galore! My first Ryobi purchase. So much for that.Gonna see if I can get a different one and exchange it. Or get my money back.

 "D.I.Y. Fun" 2009-06-05
By Robert W. (Louisiana USA)
I had a different and lighter type Drill/Driver before and it didn't hold up long using it for D.I.Y. work around the home, so when it gave out I ordered the Ryobi and it has enough power to do all the drilling I need to do. Since it was Factory Reconditioned it did not have screw driver and drill bit set with it, but I had a good one left from the bad unit. It is just like a new unit and didn't have a worn place or any mark on it. The keyless chuck is very easy to use and holds the bits and drills securely, without wobble or coming loose. I usually don't order reconditioned tools, but I didn't make a mistake with this one.

 "Great tool for the right user" 2006-11-12
By wiredweird (Earth, or somewhere nearby)
This is a mid-range tool, and I mean no insult by that. Some people have hands big enough to wrap around a heavy handle, but my wife has a more delicate build. Some people have enough strength that the mass of a high-energy, high-power battery is an acceptable load, but her strength isn't in her hands. And some people have major construction tasks, big repairs, and who-knows-what to drive a drill or screw into next. She has just the usual household fixit work to deal with, or maybe a bit more than some households.



She's always shied away from the beefier power tools, and I respect her evaluation of her control over that mechanical power. She's also ridiculed the little, wimpy 1.8V screwdrivers. It took a bit for her to make friends with this model, but she did. Now, I can't get near it. Remember those seagulls in "Finding Nemo", with the mine-mine-mine? That's her with this cordless.



I've bought three of the 9.6V units so far: one for her, one for a niece just starting her own first fixup apartment, and one for my 80-ish parents. (I love my dad, but he has to be realistic now about how many horsepower of whirling blades he really ought to handle.) And, in most states, it costs less than a carton of cigarettes - and you'll still have it next week.



The pack of bits that comes with it is mostly complete, but not the most durable. You'll have one of each: straight, Philips, square-drive and Torx (each in a few sizes), some drill bits, and more. Don't expect them to last, although each one will give you modest service. Not to worry, you can get lots more of each kind of bit when you need them. The motor is what counts here, and especially the feel of it in your hand. Ladies, please step right up. It's not pink and it's not a girltool, but that's not what a strong woman wants. It's does real work like you do, it works hard like you do, and it may well fit your hand. Try it.



It's not the biggest, baddest thing on the block. Be real, though. If you're not Schwarzenegger, maybe you really want something better proportioned to your hand and strength. This is good for lots of people who have lots of important work to get done.

PS: I'm reviewing the new tool, not reconditioned, but couldn't find the product page for the factory-fresh one. If I find a page for the new tool, I'll move the review.

 "Perfect for light DIY" 2009-10-05
By Loft Remodeler (Los Angeles, CA)
My old drill/driver batteries died and I found this cheaper than a new battery. This works great and I even like the little magnet bit holder at the bottom of the grip. Only the down side is the rpm seems to be low compared to my old Ryobi and this affects when you drill. Although I was able to build metal stud walls with this. Perfect for light DIY and OK for mid DIY.

 "What happened to ryobi?" 2009-09-04
By Dude (nyc)
I had an older Ryobi drill that I LOVED and used on everything for many years. I'm a home, fixer upper, not a contractor or certified anything. I went through a few batts and chargers, and finally, had to buy their new versions, because they didn't make batteries that would fit the older models.



Well, the newer batteries completely suck. You CANNOT charge a batt, and stick it in the box, and expect it to get you through a job a few weeks later. I had two fully charged batteries sitting in the case for about three weeks, and I couldn't drill through a single piece of thin (2-3mm) metal going through both batts. Totally unacceptable. 3 months, fine, batts lose charge, everyone knows. 3 weeks? Not good enough. Due to this, I have to keep a batt in the charger at all times. Period. It sucks, and isn't typical of the quality I came to expect with this brand.



If this was a store-brand, it would probably get 3-4 stars. Since it's ryobi, and due to the cost, it get's two stars.





If you buy one of these, you'll probably get the model that I returned.
