Best Ryobi 18V ONE+ cordless tools

Start with the drill/driver. It's the tool most ONE+ owners reach for first, and the 18V ONE+ drill/driver kit is the sensible entry point: 18V, keyless chuck, two-speed trigger and a 24-position clutch — enough for shelves, flat-pack and light drilling, and the battery then fits every other ONE+ tool you add.

Who the others suit:

• Impact driver — if you drive a lot of long screws or build decks; far more torque, less wrist strain, but it's not a drill.
• Brushless HP drill — for daily or heavier use: more torque, longer runtime, better battery life.
• Bare tools (tool only) — for anyone already on the ONE+ platform with batteries and a charger.

Buy the kit with a battery and charger first; add bare tools after.
