Is this rotary tool good for cutting metal?

Only light work. The brushed 4V motor handles thin soft metal and small cuts, but it will bog down on steel or long cuts. For heavier metalworking, a corded rotary tool is the better choice.

What comes in the box?

The kit includes the rotary tool, a 4V USB Lithium battery, a charger, drill bits and the inspection light.

Does it use the same battery as other Ryobi USB Lithium tools?

Yes. It runs on Ryobi's 4V USB Lithium battery, which is shared across that line, so packs are interchangeable.

Is $70.55 a good price?

It is the lowest new price among the two stores listing it as of November 5, 2026, so there is little to gain by waiting for a lower one right now.

How long does the battery last?

Expect short runs. The small 4V pack suits quick jobs; for long grinding or polishing sessions, keep a spare charged.

Is it worth it over a corded rotary tool?

If you need cordless reach and already use Ryobi USB Lithium batteries, yes. If you need sustained power, a corded model does more for similar money.

Our take on the Ryobi USB Lithium Project Kit with Rotary Tool Inspection Light

This is a small cordless rotary tool kit built on Ryobi's 4V USB Lithium battery, bundled with an inspection light, charger and drill bits. It is aimed at light DIY work — cutting, grinding, polishing and drilling in wood and soft metal — rather than heavy shop use. At $70.55 at eBay as of November 5, 2026, it is the lowest new price among the two stores listing it, so there is no meaningful spread to shop around for right now.
