Customer Reviews
Not a big ryobi fan until I bought a 7 tool kit for $249 in 06. I was expecting a sub-par codless tool, but was pleasently surprised. I am a carpenter by trade(20 yrs) and have resorted to using this little saw for almost all of my cuts for 2 reasons. 1. It is light as a feather. It is cordless and It goes way beyond my expectations for a little trim saw! Only bogs down in thick 2 inch material after hours of use. I just couldn't be happier. With a sharp finish blade, this saw is just unbeatable. The impact driver is also amazing. It will go all day driving 2 and three inch screws and I still had battery left after my co-workers makita went dead. I have left it out in the rain and beat it up worse than any of my other tools (because I was expecting it to fail and be a piece of junk) and it just takes a licking and keeps on ticking. The only tool of the 7 pack that I purchased which I haven't been impressed with is the recip. saw. It drains your battery and is only good in a pinch for a short amount of time. Other than that, I have had no problems with any of the tools and I use them on a continuous daily basis. I am not easily impressed, but my hat is off to ryobi on this specific tool kit. I have rarley had any tool that lasts for 3 years of the continous use and abuse that I put it through. The best part is that I only spent $250 for a 7 tool pack and have gotten thousands of dollars of production out of them. Finally for once, my expectations were exceeded.
Update: 3/1/2011
OK, it is now 2011 and I am updating my rating for the pack. All in all I am impressed by the performance of the pack for all my home use projects and tinkering. The saw is not a plywood saw and I can only get through a sheet per charge, using both battteries, so I wouldn't but it to cut plywood. only softer wood and MDF. I would only recommend the Impact driver for commercial use because I have been abusing it non-stop daily since the day I got it and it is still performing flawlessly. It has come down in price to like $39 on sale and it is just too reliable to not give it a 5 star rating. I have dropped this thing off of 10 and 12 ft. ladders I dont know how many times and it has yet to crap out on me. I have left it out in the rain on a rood for a day etc. all the hardcore abuse you would give it for 5 years. It looks a little beat up, but for the price and performance there is no comparison. I just bought a makita compact Li-ion drill and impact driver and in a side by side comparison, here is the truth of the matter. The makita looks cooler and is comfortable to use and I like the fact that the charger lets you know when the battery is charged. But where the rubber meets the road, I have to say that my Ryobie to be fair is every bit the impact my makita is. Ya, the makita might look cooler and be a little lighter in the hand, but the performance and reliability of the Ryobi is dead even with the makita, which is remarkable after 6 years of continuous use that most consider to be a disposable tool brand. I give credit where credit is due! I will review my Makita set in 5 years and see how they are holding up, but if you want an Excellent Impact driver for a fraction of the price ($50 bucks for ryobi with the battery and charger vs. $220 for the makita) of a Big Name brand, go with the Ryobi impact driver, it won't let you down.
I bought the circular saw and the screwdriver combo three years ago when I moved into a new house. The screwdriver is actually not any good as a screwdriver but it works OK as a drill. The little saw, on the other hand, is great. Fits me perfectly as it is lightweight and I am a woman. I started using it to install 3,000 sq. ft. of hardwood floors in the house. It performed perfectly. I've also cut a whole variety of other things with it, including furniture grade plywood, 3/4 inch external grade plywood (large sheets). I built a floating, 16x10 feet deck using only this little saw (including cutting a dozen or so of 2x8s). Currently, I am remodeling my basement moving a couple of walls, and the saw is hard at work again merrily cutting studs. The battery started draining fast sometime into the second year of use, and I had to buy new batteries. I just got a new set of batteries for it again because I am planning to make new kitchen cabinet doors out of bamboo plywood. I have a pretty high confidence it will not let me down. My only wish is that it had no-memory batteries so that they would last longer than a year.
