Customer Review: (VIDEO)The Ryobi Combo Kit (ZRP844) is a poorly reconditioned product. I would not purchase again.
Summary: 1 Stars
This is a video of the Ryobi Combo Kit (ZRP844) purchased through Amazon in June 2010 from CPO Ryobi.

This 'Combo Kit' was purchased so my mom could have some decent tools of her own, that way I could stop bringing my own tools when things need to be fixed at her place. I came across this Amazon listing and initially thought it sounded like a pretty good deal. Boy was I wrong!
Now I didn't expect these tools to be perfect, maybe a few scratches or small dings, but I would have never guessed I'd receive tools that looked like they were purchased from a garage sale. I've purchased refurbished blenders, appliances, lawn mowers, and even a reconditioned bathtub. Never have I regretted purchasing a reconditioned product as much as I regret purchasing this 'combo kit.' Everything else I've purchased that is reconditioned looks pretty good and you really have to look for signs of wear, but not with this Ryobi set. Not only have these tools been used rather hard, some of the tools don't even work.
My first problem was with the drill. I thought is was in pretty good condition at first, but when I went to adjust the torque setting, the drill tightened up as it neared the drill-bit setting. Now I played with these tools a good bit before and since receiving this drill and I can say as a matter of fact that the drill is not supposed to be that way.
I also had a problem with the condition of the reciprocating saw, circular saw, and large battery. The saws both showed extensive wear on the grips. The mechanical parts seemed to be fine and worked well, but the rubber grips had holes worn into the grip. This concerns me for a couple reasons, the first being that these holes will only get bigger and eventually I will start wearing down the plastic. Second, how hard were these tools used that someone wore through the grip? If these tools were used a lot, then that means the battery was used a lot too, and I wont have a battery with as much life left had I purchased new. The replacement batteries cost almost as much as a new combo kit. My main problem with the battery was that it had paint lodged in the seams of the case. How can they say these are reconditioned when they don't even bother to clean old paint of the tools? I was able to get most all of the paint out with a toothpick and a couple squirts of goof-off. The smaller battery had what seemed like glue on the bottom of it, only took 30 seconds to clean, but again why wasn't that already done?
These tools are described in the listing as like-new, and the condition of the tools upon ordering is described as new. These tools are used and show a lot of wear, that is how I would describe them.
I almost forgot to mention how bad the bag looked. I would have guessed it had been left outside in a month-long dust storm, it was that dirty. Not a big deal, but worth mentioning. Something else worth mentioning that isn't in the listing: these tools are all branded with the word 'RECON.' You can see what I am talking about if you watch the video, look at the bottom of the smaller battery that is all sticky. Again not that big of a deal, but I feel like I should have been told about this in the listing. If these were my everyday tools I would have been a little upset that I didn't know this before purchasing.
To some people these issues may be no big deal, and if just one of these problems existed, I would probably think very differently of my purchase. The way these tools were described though, and for only a [...] discount compared to Home Depot, I expected more for my money.
For what it's worth, I talked to CPO Ryobi and they sent a replacement, claiming that tools usually aren't as bad off as this. Well guess what? The replacement unit was just as bad. If you order this expect a used product that may be pretty beaten up. Moreover, Ryobi knows how poor a condition these tools are in and they are the ones that okay them for resale. CPO should make the true condition better known though.

Description of Factory-Reconditioned Ryobi ZRP844 ONE Plus 18V Cordless Lithium-ion 4-Piece Combo Kit
Homeowners and professionals looking to upgrade to a serious combo kit can call off the search. The new Ryobi 18-volt lithium-ion AutoShift drill is the star of a 4-piece combo kit ideal for dedicated and determined DIYers. The innovative drill saves time and guesswork by automatically operating at the optimal setting. It makes drilling and driving easier and faster because you don't have to select which speed to use - the drill chooses for you. For optimum adaptability, the combo kit includes two batteries. The high-capacity lithium-ion battery provides twice the performance and holds the charge 4 times longer, optimizing charge cycles. An on-board battery gauge helps ensure you won't run out of power in the middle of a project. For work in tight spaces, the lightweight compact lithium-ion battery offers 20% more performance and reduces user fatigue. This is a factory reconditioned power tool. Reconditioned generally means that the tool has been returned to the manufacturer, who brings the tool back to like new condition. Some tools may contain cosmetic blemishes.
