- Are these two kits actually different?
- No. Both are the Ryobi 18V ONE+ six-tool combo kit with two batteries, charger and bag. The listings differ in how much detail they show, not in what ships.
- Which is better for a beginner?
- Either one. The kit covers drilling, driving, sawing, cutting and lighting, and Ryobi markets it to DIYers and beginners. The 1.5 Ah battery keeps the drill light for small jobs.
- Is the impact driver strong enough for deck screws?
- Yes for typical deck screws. Ryobi rates it at 1,800 in-lbs and 3,400 IPM, which handles long deck screws and lag screws in softwood. Very large lags in hardwood may want a stronger driver.
- How long do the batteries last per charge?
- Ryobi claims over 215 cuts per charge from the 5-1/2 in. circular saw on the 4.0 Ah pack. Run the recip saw and multi-tool on the 4.0 Ah and save the 1.5 Ah for the drill and light.
- Is $199 a good price?
- It matches the other listing at Home Depot as of November 4, 2026, so there is no cheaper version of this kit to switch to. Check the price history before buying in case it dips.
- Will other Ryobi batteries fit these tools?
- Yes. All six tools run on the ONE+ 18V platform, which covers over 260 tools, so any ONE+ battery works.
