TLDR Review: ONE+ HP 18V Cordless Drill and Impact Driver Kit
Verdict
This is a solid entry-level to mid-range combo kit that punches above its weight—literally, given its compact and lightweight design. We think it's particularly great if you're already invested in the RYOBI battery ecosystem or if you prioritize portability and ease of use over raw power. However, if you're planning demanding professional work or extended use without charging, the smaller battery capacity might be a limitation worth considering. For most homeowners and casual DIYers, this kit delivers excellent value and won't leave you with buyer's remorse.
