Screwfix Ryobi 8pc Kit £199
For anyone looking for a good selection of power tools, this don't look too bad.



Not sure i'd class the batter tester as one of the 8 pieces, bit cheeky.

It doesn't say what capacity the batteries are either.

Anyone know what the letters at the end of the model number indicates?
e.g. CHI1802P or CHI1802M combi drills. What's the difference?
CCS1801LM vs CSS1801DM Circular saw

Thanks
J

They had a similar kit for sale at TJ Hughes for about £30 less, but I just checked and it's not on their website now!

The battery are 1.7amp Not the li ion ones. But are still good for general diy. The battery tester is a bit of a waste it's not very accurate. Still a great price, I've got nearly the whole ryobi range and not had one problem with any off them.

Think the difference might be the addition of the laser.there are two jigsaws one with a laser and one without the same with the circular saws. Hope this helps

I would never buy cheap tools. only buy tools that will last as long as you live

I took my Ryobi drill/driver that I bought September in 2009 back to Screwfix last week. It was making an intermittent noise like one of those kazoo things girls had back in the 70’s.

I thought I’d splash out and paid the difference for a Makita. The guy at Screwfix reckons most of the Ryobi stuff is returned within the year hence why Ryobi have recently reduced their 2 year warranty to one!

Depends upon whether you are a DIYer or a Tradesman.



How long is a piece of string?
I bought a 'cheap' circular saw (mains powered) from LIDL seven years ago and it is still working fine after three kitchen refits and two bathroom refits. Why, as a DIYer, would I want to spend £100 instead of £29-99 for a tool that will outlast me? Would sooner spend the other £70 on other cheaper tools that will do the job for me and not cost the earth to buy.

whilst i fully agree about buying the best you can afford ryobi kit for the diyer kicks well above its weight is very reliable and with over 30 tools to fit the same batteries can be an excellent choice

and before you ask my main kit is dewalt and bosch but ryobi do so many tools for the one+ range you can try the tools for around £50 and when they break buy the big boys toys at 3 or 4 times the price thats iff they break down
