      It has two batteries though

      So you can screw in two screws.

        At least theyll fill back up quickly

          I have the 5.0 Ah Li-On battery for my garden tools, but when I need to use my detailing tool (oscillating saw) or my drill, the battery is heavy and a little bit of overkill. The two 1.3 Ah batteries with a charger would be ideal for the smaller projects around the home.

          Definitely not a professional tradies tool, but ideal for projects around the home/hobby projects.

          • @Medrad: They are fine, I have had a number of battery's die but the drills have lasted well.

          • @Medrad: Agreed. Drills aren't too heavy on batteries and the larger ones can be physically hard work or just plain cumbersome when you're using small drill bits.

            Other tools do need larger ones though e.g. angle grinders.

          • @Medrad: Hi mate,

            Do you thinking this hammer drill would meet the majority of potential DIY jobs?

            I just bought and moved into a terrace house (was previously in an apartment) and I'm looking to kit myself up with the "basic" tools that every household should have.

            Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • I know brushless is better, but is this still a good home handyman hammer drill?

    • -1

      Dno how strong it would be. You could get a decent corded one for the same $.

    • +5

      Yes, this kit is a great general-purpose drill for home handyman.
      2x 1.3AHr is fine for a drill.

      But I'm seeing the same drill (?) with a single 2.0AHr battery for $79 - better value, I think.

        That drill isn't a hammer drill though

        • +1

          Ah, thanks! Might suit somebody who does not live in a brick house.

    • +3

      Has about half the torque of the brushless model in the kit below (45Nm vs 85Nm):

      https://www.bunnings.com.au/ryobi-one-18v-brushless-hammer-d…

      …and the brushless kit also has a fast charger vs the non-fast one in this deal, plus bigger batteries (but yeah, it's 2.5 times more expensive).

      • -2

        Do it once, do it right, do it with brushless.

        • +4

          Do it like they do it on Discovery Channel.

          • @Munki: I'm gonna be hearing that as I go to sleep now….and probably when I wake up.

            • @Banj0: You're welcome. Sweet dreams!

          • @Munki: Do it to me one more time, once is never enough.

        • -2

          If you want to do it once, do it right… buy a proper brand, not Ryobi toys.

      The advice I received from Bunnings (from somebody who seemed to know what he was talking about) was that this basic model, while technically capable of drilling in to masonry, really isn't up to the job. Would be very slow, frustratingly so in concrete or harder brick. It was suggested to go the next level up at least, especially if planning to drill more than a few holes. I had a dozen holes I needed to drill in brick, and he said it would be likely I'd want to come back for a better drill before I'd finished if I bought the basic model.

      It was suggested the brushless model would be better but still not especially fast. If I wanted fast, it was suggested to go up to the SDS model.
      https://www.bunnings.com.au/ryobi-one-18v-sds-cordless-rotar…

      I'd had other recent experiences of using tools that weren't really cut out for the job so in the end I went with the SDS model instead. Was very satisfied, drilling holes in brick took a few seconds only.

      Don't know if I fell for an unnecessary upsell or not. Would be interesting to hear of others' experience with the lower models.

      • Thanks. I’d never seen this one before. Will do a bit more research before I dive in, but I completely understand the issue of drilling for ages into masonry and not getting very far (with my cheap corded hammer drill). Then again it could be the drill bits I’m using.

      • +1

        I use a stanley fat max for masonry.. its a beauty.

        I do have this ryobi for basic drillinf and find it good.

      • +2

        No not unnecessary.. Rotary Hammers are a different animal and very very much worth the money if you're planning to do anything more than a few tiny holes in brick/tiles etc.
        Difference between a hammer drill and rotary hammer is night and day for this. My corded ryobi hammer drill would take forever for tiny holes in concrete, bought the corded ryobi rotary hammer (SDS).. It was like butter for smaller holes, and still no issue for 13mm holes through reinforced concrete. Also used one of the spade attachments to help dig smaller holes through hard rocks/dirt recently which was an added bonus

      • also have the SDS hammer and very happy with it for larger jobs.. used it to drill into 100mm concrete to ramset in a pergola when we built the house and it had no trouble.. do also own the cheaper drills but haven't tried their performance at anything masonry yet.

    • No, get the Aldi rotary impact drill instead, much, much better, plus it comes with an adapter for regular bits not just SDS. You'll have to buy a battery and a charger, but it'll still work out cheaper.

      Or do what I do and go with the Ozito X Change range, Bunnings will drop the adapter down to $50 when Aldi has their specials. The downside is that it doesn't have an adapter or any bits.

    • The hammer function is not great. The drill part is decent.

    Noticed a couple of other possible(?) Ryobi deals when browsing earlier:

  • Hey Experts, complete noob here, Is this good for my upcoming wooden decking project?
    Any suggestions for good tools for decking..

    • +8

      This will help if you need to pre drill holes. It will slip when tightening the screws.

      Personally id go with an impact driver, save your wrist.

      • +1

        I only purchased my first impact driver recently. Wow…wish I'd gotten one some time back! So much better than using a drill.

        It did cost me more though…but my mid-range brushless drill and driver are better than any brushed battery powered tool I've ever owned.

        • +1

          agreed, impact driver is an amazing tool after using a drill!

    • -3

      Cables are annoying, but this is much better for decking than a cordless impact driver.

      https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-280w-10mm-drill-driver_p62…

      I built a 70 sqm deck, so I'm pretty sure about that.
      It leaves the screw holes looking much nicer than an impact driver as well.

      You can use cordless drills for predrilling, that way you only have one cable, which is much less annoying than two, as they will get caught on each other.

    These things are definitely diy quality , despite the marketing.
    You will get what you pay for with battery tools.
    Understand part time tightarse tradey's will disagree ,
    but be prepared to replace the tool regularly.

    Sorry snowflakes,
    that I'm not into crap tools.

    • +5

      Different story if you were a tradie using the tool every day. They are aimed at the Diy market and will be fine for the odd job.

      6 year warranty on the skin and 3 years on the batteries and chargers, I'm not too worried.

      • I know an Electrician that's been using them for years.

    • +2

      Well I'm a tradie with a lot of Ryobi cordless gear including four drills. None of them have failed me yet, including their basic compact drill which I bought about four years ago and have given it hundreds and hundreds of hours of work, often driving 12g coach screws into piloted hardwood. It's an amazingly tough unit.

      I think the earlier Ryobi gear left a lot to be desired, however they've improved a great deal since then.

  • No stock in Canberra it would seem.

  • Had some new power points in recently. The sparkles used cordless drills on the brick wall. Unsure what make or model they are though. Didn’t realise cordless has the torque and power to drill through?

    • Makita? DeWalt? Milwaukee? Panasonic?

      The brushless stuff is pretty strong now. Even my FatMax can twist your wrist with the torque (FatMax is similar to Ryobi lines, and cheaper but probably lower quality than some of the above offerings)

    • You don't really need a lot of torque to drill through brick. It's all about the impact.

      My dad did all his masonry drilling with an old Black and Decker corded NON-impact drill. It was geared right down, like 200rpm or less. Basically, you used a tungsten carbide drill bit and leant into it… amazingly effective. However that was using lots of torque.

      Now days you pay for a good hammer action, and the drill literally pushes the bit through the wall.

      • True that…not like wood. I guess that's why the big rotary hammers are the bees knees for sinking into masonry like a hot…something…

      • Agree - We get a bit excited these days about brushless, cordless. They're good but for the small amount of masonary drilling I'm doing I'm still using my dad's 35 year old brushed and corded, keyed chuck Black and Decker two speed drill. A little bit of patience has saved me a few dollars

  • Ozito 18v and 2amp battery for same money.
    What clinches the deal for me is…

    Warranty Info
    5 Year Replacement Warranty (Tool)
    3 Year Replacement Warranty (Battery)

    I have pretty much swapped out all my metabo, Bosch, Hitachi, ryobi gear over the years in favour of ozito for this reason.
    Yes I have killed a few off but walk out replacement has never been a problem unlike most other brands.

    • All of my Ryobi gear (battery and mains) has died. And the batteries don't hold a charge for even a day after two years.

      For cordless I have started replacing with Ozito as well and am very happy so far.

      Corded I do prefer AEG and Bosch.

      • I wonder how old were your Ryobi skins that died? And were the batteries of the latest one+ generation (with the battery meter)?

        I'm a tradie and I have about eight Ryobi one+ skins, none have died including their basic compact drill (RCD1802), which I bought over four years ago and have given hundreds of hours of work to. I also have five one+ batteries, all of which hold charge perfectly including the two little 1.5ah batteries that came with the battleaxe RCD1802.

        The batteries are stored in my van and are sometimes subjected to very high temperatures, however I do put them in a spot out of the sun.

        Just wondering what you could have done to your Ryobi gear to have such a high failure rate.

        • I should clarify.
          I've had 3 Ryobi mains tools that burnt out / died. (drill,sander and pole saw)
          I have a Ryobi one+ circular saw that is just useless, and the oscillating saw just locks up constantly.
          3 out of 4 Ryobi one+ batteries go flat once off charge over night. (no level meter)

          We have power tools that are over 20 years old that are still going strong, so its not like we abuse them.

          • @chuxsw: Righto. I suppose the latest generation batteries, with the battery meter, have been improved since your ones.

          • @chuxsw: I've only ever has a Circular 150mm saw that died, that was part of a pack. When I went back, I was upgraded to a 165, as they had no 150's left. Admittedly, I was using a blade on thick laminate that wasn't up to the task. :-)
            My only with Ryobi is you can only buy them from Bunnings or Amazon.

    • +1

      But currently Ryobi has a way better range of tools. Like their 1/2 inch impact is far more powerful and they also have a cordless ratchet as well.

      • I'm still using one without the power meter. :-)

  • Great drill for Beginners. Better performance than Ozito.

  • Any deals on impact driver?
