Tools and Hardware Reviews of Factory-Reconditioned Ryobi ZRP824 18-Volt Starter Kit
Customer Review: Ryobi 18v Drill/Driver and Circular Saw
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased the Ryobi Drill/driver and saw as part of a kit several years ago. The thing that interested me the most was the low price of the batteries compared to the DeWalts and Makitas. You can get two Ryobi batteries for less than the price of one DeWalt. Battery life is good for drilling, but if you are driving heavy screws or lag bolts, you better have two batteries charged before you start. On larger projects, I have had to delay finishing my work when the batteries couldn't keep up with the pace, despite having a fast charger. The good news is that more new batteries are not that expensive. However, my experience is that these batteries don't have the lifespan one would like to see. I am an avid homeowner/user and am in an apparent state of remodeling our 1950's rancher style home. About every 18 months, the Ryobi batteries seem to need to be replaced as they just won't hold a charge. In fact, my last new set have been the most disappointing.
The drill does a good job of drilling and driving. The chuck's quality is fair to good, and is subject to occasional slipping on drill bits if loaded up. I recently predrilled 2x8 headers and drove some 3/8 lag bolts with this driver. It did an OK job, but despite adequate predrilling, I still had to finish the job by hand. For the casual homeowner who is only going to be putting up the occasional shelf or picture, this is a great tool for the money. But if you are going to be really working it hard, I'd consider something with more torque. The manufacturer doesn't list torque on their website, just drill/driver speeds.
Overall this is a good product. I've beaten the crap out of it, and it still runs. However, it's grinding now during heavy work, so I'll be looking for a replacement soon.
The CIRCULAR SAW that came with the kit only sees the most occasional use. It has so little clearance that it barely makes it thru a 2x4. If you aren't going to be sizing 2x4's with a tool like this, what good is it, really? I've used it to cut off plywood panels, and it works OK, as long as you only need it for a few cuts. As other reviewers have noted, this goes thru your batteries like there is no tomorrow. If I am setting up to cut several pieces of wood for a project, this tool stays in the bag and I get out the corded tool. If you lift up from the wood even a millimeter or two, the blade's small size won't clear thru a 2x4. I would give the saw only 2 stars due to it's battery hunger and inability to cut thru a 2x4 with any clearance. You would never use this for any real miter work due to the clearance issue.
My kit also came with a detail sander and a flashlight. The FLASHLIGHT is a real star, and works great under the car with it's adjustable head and ability to stand on it's own. I rarely use the sander, prefering to use my other corded machines instead.
