Best Ryobi tool sets

Start here: the RYOBI ONE+ 18V 6-Tool Combo Kit — drill/driver, impact driver, circular saw, recip saw and more, with a compact 1.5 Ah battery for light work and a 4.0 Ah for saws. It's the best balance of range and value for a first kit, and the one most people should buy.

Who the others suit:

• Just starting, or a gift: the 2-tool drill + impact driver kit — the two tools you'll actually use weekly, cheapest way into ONE+.
• Already have batteries, want brushless: the HP Compact Brushless 2-tool kit — smaller, more efficient, longer runtime.
• Serious DIY, heavy use: the ONE+ HP Brushless 5-tool kit — brushless motors and bigger batteries for daily jobs.
• Best all-rounder with a saw: the 4-tool kit — drill, impact driver and recip saw with strong ratings.

All share the ONE+ 18V battery, so you can add bare tools later.
