Ryobi One+ 18V Drill and Driver Kit $99 (Was $199)
The Ryobi One+ 18V Drill and Driver Kit features the most compact Ryobi 18V drill with a powerful motor. This kit also includes a 2.5Ah lithium+ battery - and as part of the ONE+ range, the same battery powers over 50 tools.
25/4: Product page no longer available online, however stock is still available at some stores.
but it costs more
and it doesn't include battery nor charger
@herbie_ford: Not really. There are >50 tools in the range, it'd be pretty dumb if they forced you to buy a battery with each tool, by including them with every product.
For people who have batteries it might be wiser to wait for the brushless to go down in price, brushless is a better design. Considering they're the same brand, you can probably assume the brushless will be bette. Even still, a brushless Ryobi probably isn't as good as a DeWalt or Milwaukee brushed drill.
but it costs more
yes it does, but it's significantly better.
wont work without a battery.
And it comes with a free froghurt.
But how can it be a bargain if that is its normal price?
And the brushless DeWalt 18V XR thumps the Ryobi for "just" $600.
Your point, jv? (That is, of course, an entirely rhetorical question)
And the brushless DeWalt 18V XR thumps the Ryobi for "just" $600.
I tried it, it's not very comfortable to hold. The Ryobi feels better.

If you have soft baby hands you're right and even if you could hold the DeWalt the torque would snap your tiny wrist.
I've got the brushless, ^ he's right you know…
Although, the $99 kit would be ideal if you had a flat and just needed something for around the house.
It lacks the power for anything more.

No need to make it a pissing contest. Put your dick away.
Even by Ryobi's own specs, the power difference is marginal (20% is not noticeable in practice).
The real benefits are battery life (because of better efficiency) and motor life, which would matter to a tradie using it all day.
who are you ?
I built my front fence with the Ryobi kit, impact driver and drill. Fence posts were hardwood sleepers. Next is a retaining wall. (30m of retaining wall…)
Must admit the impact driver was magic after using my last cordless drill in that role.
But it's not a bargain jv
Love this.
Does anyone know if the brushless has ever been on sale?
If you want brushless and with hammer, get this instead https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-power-x-change-brushless-h…
For $159, comes with charger and 2 batteries. The batteries have built in indicator like the ryobi ones.
$159 seems to be normal price and good value for this type of drill.
I have this - plenty of power for a wide range of tasks. The matching brushless ozito impact driver is also excellent.
yeah im waiting on a good deal for just the brushless drill. i bet we stocked up on 5a batteries back when they did the blowers!
Spewing I only stocked up on 1 blower and trimmer but now need another 5Ah to power my lawnmower. Contemplating between this or the brushless kit but the ozbargainer in me is reluctant to pay rrp!
if only we got that kit for $150 id be all over it! 250 is a stretch for me.
I have 3 fast chargers, 3x 5Ah batteries and 3 blowers haha. been trying to sell of some blowers and fast chargers. the batteries have been so damn handy though, the blower gets used a lot too!
agree. Instead of cleaning the mess, blowers just scatters the mess onto the road or onto another persons yard
I agree, I have a brushless one and its fantastic
Yes cheaper and you get two batteries (albeit smaller capacity ones).
But that xu2 brand is junk, though probably ok if you just need a drill for very light use.
The impact driver is by far a more valuable tool than a standard drill driver so that's the big advantage of the xu2 kit.
I don't think they stock this at many bunnings though as I've never seen it and i visit bunnings weekly.
Just called bunnings Hooper crossing. They have plenty in stock ☺ guess i might pull trigger
I don't have any xu1 tools, but I bought the cheaper ozito that was a fathers day special a few years ago, it looks pretty similar, maybe someone can check if they are from the same supplier?
Anyway I have had them for years and have no problem.you wont get the speed from any battery drill that you get from a plug in one, but that's more t he technology than the brand. Thr impact driver is fine also for what I use it for, I use them a fair bit at times and rarely need to charge. I think at this price but it, and if it doesnt do the job you will probably find you are in the 2 percent and you can then invest in some things more expensive
I've been using my range of XU2 products - drill, driver, saw, gardening tools, etc - for household use for a year or two, and they're GREAT!
Are the by twice as good as Xu1?
Drill and Driver Kit
Awwwww - thought it was the drill and impact driver kit, but it's drill only :(
Same, disappointed to see it's only the drill.. and it's not even a hammer drill!
almost worth it to get myself another battery and carry bag…then sell the drill….damn you bunnings.
Damn you for suggesting that idea. There goes another $99
Carry bag is only 15 bucks, what's the battery go for?
Battery goes for 85 bucks, drill goes for around the same. So essential walk away with a cheap battery if you can flog the drill off for like 70
50 for drill
Was going to do that. Need an extra battery but if i can sell the drill ill be happy with the extra charger and battery and carty bag.
Have one myself (a spare that I bought to get the battery and charger). Really weak drill only useful for wood and metal.
What else are you planning to drill in other than wood and metal?
presumably concrete or brick - which arguably may be harder to drill if you don't have any hammer option on your drill.
Really hard wood
Giggidy
Any bargain for impact/hammer drill for brickwork? Been looking for one to drill install my IP cameras.
Ozito…
Whatever you get you'll probably want a dedicated hammer drill as many of the cheaper Combo units are hopeless for brick
Yep a cheap corded one will outdo a handyman battery operated one.
Agree with this. We bought a $20 corded bunnings hammer drill and it did the job fine.
Much better option than risking the motor on your $200 cordless.
The question you have to ask yourself is how many holes will you be drilling at a time? The reason is that if you are drilling 50 holes in a row into brick or concrete run then you need to make sure the battery will do it, and secondly you probably want a rotary hammer drill/sds based one. What this will mean is the holes are drilled much faster, and because the hammer action is performed using compressed air much less of the force is transferred to your arm.
If you are drilling a few holes not very deep at a time, you can use any basic mains drill or a battery hammer drill
I recommend this kit https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-power-x-change-brushless-h…
Purchased it to drill large holes into brick walls to install my air conditioner brackets, doesn't surge or struggle at all. It also helps to purchase some high quality cobalt drill bits (equally expensive as the drill kit).
Brushless is the way to go if you want instant torque, longer battery life and lightness in weight. Can't go wrong with the 5 year warranty either.
I've had the Ryobi drills now (non brushless) for more than 3 years. Lets be realistic - even tradies are using this now so comments around it being 'weak' are not completely realistic.
Yes, the brushless one is a lot better (and you do pay for that quality) and as pointed out you can buy better quality brands (dewalt, makita and so on) but this is a pretty usable/reasonable drill.
If you are going into pine you won't have issues. If you are doing light work around hardwood, metal or brick, it's still fine.
If you are trying to renovate a whole house with ancient hardwood (which is now harder than concrete), sure you will probably burn the drill out and get it replaced under warranty..
These things don't go well if they are under continual load for long periods of time - which almost never happens in a home environment.
My dewalt set are all brush and the brushless alternative would have set me back 950 bucks ontop of the price i paid.
4 years and i havent needed to change the brushes yet…. some are 50% but other gear not used frequently is still as new on the brush side.
Wow jv you have made 44000 comments on posts and I bet most of them are negative comments and never any that says wow great deal or great post.
and I bet most of them are negative comments
You just lost your bet.
LOL, and I see you've been a member of almost 2 years and all you've given is one +ve vote to a deal… Not only that, it was your OWN deal that you voted on.
LOL
jv is a 👼 in disguise
+ve or -Ve on the deal doesn't prove your comments aren't negative. You've made at least 12 comments on this deal and most are negative wrt to the OPs deal (arguing something else is better).
You've made at least 12 comments on this deal and most are negative
Which are negative ?
Suggesting another product is better does not mean I'm saying this is a bad deal.
@jv: The point was about your negativity not negging the deal. That you bring up another tool is better despite what you suggest is not a deal itself is passive negativity.
That you bring up another tool is better
That's called 'discussing' the deal. That's what the comments section is for…
Your ability to rekt people is kinda turning me on now
Lol I have a life, I see a deal think it's great I go and buy, I don't bring it down if I don't like it.
I don't bring it down if I don't like it.
and neither did I… This is a good price, but there is a better drill available. Some people looking for a drill might not know that.
@Alexsim yep, others here remind me when I was a member of a club where the only 'claim to fame' of some 'noisy' members was a detailed knowledge of the constitution. Instead of enjoying the club for what it was, all they did was create negativity with constant quoting of the constitution and getting off on it. The majority of members simply ignored them and got on with life.
Lol I have a life, I see a deal think it's great I go and buy, I don't bring it down if I don't like it.
I don't bring it down if I don't like it.
and neither did I… This is a good price, but there is a better drill available. Some people looking for a drill might not know that.
Well thats embarrassing. … jv +1 upped you bad…. and it was jv.
this is a good price, this is how much it is in america. but when you consider the exchange rate, this is about $70, which would be a good deal. this is sold at home depot in the states and is the low level power tool in america. dewalt is the best if you are a hardcore construction worker or something. this ryobi is more for your home improvement guy.
Noob question here but I guess this kit does not come with any bit set. Which Bit set I should buy to go along with this Kit?
edit- would this one be a good match. just looking to do some general DIY work around my unit
Which Bit set I should buy to go along with this Kit?
Ask at the tool shop at Bunnings when you buy it.
You can use practically any bit set in this because it's not an impact driver. I have used the craft right bits in an impact driver and they are useless, so I use the Irwin ones and they are pretty good.
The question is do you really want to use a drill to drive screws when impact drivers are so available?
For driving screws an impact driver is much better. You really want a drill and an impact driver.
You could buy the skin for the Ryobi or get a kit like this: https://www.bunnings.com.au/xu1-2-piece-cordless-combo-kit_p…
Or a better one: https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-18v-power-x-change-2-piece…
Thanks Duff5000 and Jackson. I did some research on impact driver and drill and based on my current needs this drill/driver kit will suffice although I might pick up a Ryobi impact driver skin sometime in future.
I am new to this but just wondering to ask how good is Bosch compared to Ryobi for the same price?
https://www.bunnings.com.au/bosch-14-4v-cordless-drill-drive…
Go for the Ryobi. You can reuse the battery on other skins. Many of the tools in the range are quite good for home use. The skins are relatively cheap.
Good. Better. Bosch.
Ryobi would be in the 'good' category.
Bosch Green is about the same as Ryobi. real men use Bosch Blue
Chuck Norris doesn't need a drill. He uses his teeth.
What is brushless?
What is brushless?
the design of the motor.
less wear and tear.
more power.
less battery use.
The brushless ryobi is a lot better.
