ONE+ 18V Cordless 2-Tool Combo Kit with Multi-Tool and 5 in. Random Orbit Sander (Tools Only)

Using the Ryobi 4ah battery this tool is well balanced and quite easy to use for long periods. I like that it has a trigger lock which gives more freedom to change your grip when moving about your work. Having 6 different speeds is nice but even better is how it accelerates slowly after pulling the trigger no matter what speed you’ve selected. This allows for much better control. I prefer the old fashioned chuck that requires an included Allen wrench which stores nicely on the tool. Much more to

Worked as well as I expected, (though this is my first multi-tool), even though it is not the brush-less model that is claimed to have more speed & power. But I'm not a professional and do not expect to put it under high demand. The brush-less model also touts a "no-tool, blade change" which this model does not include. I will admit that as I started using it I found the blade change process to be quite inconvenient. However, when I purchased additional blades that had an open back, changing blades was no longer a big deal. If the blade change process had not been such a hassle with the stock blades, I would have given this a 5-star rating.

Bought this to replace an old corded one. I used it for cutting drywall and was very happy with the performance. Very powerful and did not bog down when testing on wood. Great that it uses the Ryobi Ryobi 18v battery system. I like the continuous speed adjustment. It has a built in light, a lock so you do not have to hold the trigger to keep it running and convenient storage for the wrench. The body is quite long and required a tool to change attachments, but otherwise it is great.

This may be biased because I am a Ryobi fanboy, but this is one of the few Ryobi products that I would not recommend. Ryobi, to me, is known for their innovation and this product lacks it. I say that because I have an older multi tool that I have used for years and this has the same blade change feature, you need an allen wrench to swap blades, as the older one at a time when other brands are utilizing a quick change feauture. Another issue is that to me the dial should have been closer to my thumb so that I could quickly adjust the speed on the fly. I used this to cut through 1/2" of plywood, I did not notice a lot of vibration and the speed control worked well to ensure accurate cuts/ it was not skipping around on the work piece. The light stays on for approx. 10 seconds after you release the handle. Another issue, I dropped the locking bolt for the blade a few times trying to secure the blade, it would be nice if this come with a spare just in case you lose it.

I ordered the RYOBI ONE+ 18V Cordless Multi-Tool (Tool Only) after my neighbor saved me during a project in my home. I was installing a wall safe in my bedroom closet. The safe required two studs of standard 16 inch spacing for mounting. ed 16” (+ 1.5 in) to mount the 50 Lb. safe to. Our closet angles at 45 degrees to share the support studs with the front hall wall, so I anticipated the possibility of interference with how the builders interfaced the 2x4’s with the bend in the wall and backed off a considerable distance. I used a stud finder to confirm both the position of the studs I was to use as well as their width. I proceeded to cut a hole in the drywall with my Ryobi reciprocating saw. Once I had removed the rectangular section of the drywall, I discovered that the builders had tied in one of the 2x4’s to the hall wall at a 990 degree angle impeding the safe’s insertion between the two studs I had planned. My neighbor is more experienced and home modifications than me so I asked him his advice. He determined that the added 2x4 wasn’t load bearing. We quickly discovered that the reciprocating saw couldn’t be positioned in the space to make a clean cut. I was contemplating the use of a hand saw, which would have taken a half day, or perhaps an angle grinder which could have fit but was inappropriate and perhaps dangerous. He suggested he get his multi-tool which did the trick and was surprisingly quick. His multi-tool was a different brand and was corded. The tight space made the cord a bit cumbersome, but the tool was effective. Since I own eight other Ryobi ONE+ tools I decided then and there I would be getting the Ryobi cordless multi-tool. I just needed the tool-only version as I have plenty of batteries already. In arrived well packed and ready to use. So far, I have tested the saw function and have used the sanding function on an existing project. It works nearly as well as the corded version as a saw without having to tend to the cord. The corded version has more amps and can therefore cut more rapidly than the Ryobi, however, the corded version handled a 2x4 with ease in a reasonable amount of time. The sanding function gets into corners way better that my corded oscillating sander with a point on it. IIt handled the corners and joints on 9 steps in a renovation project quickly and effectively without a cord to worry about. 18V battery compatibility with my growing Ryobi collection, operation unencumbered by a cord, and versatile with a wide variety of multi-tool attachments; I am happy to make a place for this flexible tool in my shop!

I've always found a good multi-Tool to be one of the most versatile power tools you can have in your shop. I've had a corded version for years, but on many occasions I've wished I for a cordless tool for projects beyond the reach of my extension cords. This Ryobi ONE+ 18V Cordless Multi-Tool is the perfect solution. This tool does everything my corded tool does, without the limits of a power cord. The tool is well-balanced even with the weight of the battery, not always the case with cordless tools. Power range is easily controlled, and at max power there's enough juice to cut easily through most materials. An LED light provides good visibility at the cutting surface. Battery run time is quite good, even with my smaller Ryobi batteries. Noise levels are about normal for this category of tool, and vibration is minimal. Two cutting blades and a sanding pad/paper is included. I'm very pleased with this tool, and highly recommend it.

I really like that the speed control can be set to zero. This is a good way of locking the tool in the "Off" position. The speed control smoothly raises the speed from 1 to 6 at the same time the trigger switch is being pressed. I like the trigger switch lock button on the side of the tool. The work light works well and stays on for a few seconds after the trigger switch is released. I weighed the tool on my scale without a battery and it weighs in at 1.66 pounds. I don't like the inner flange were the accessories mount to the tool. On other oscillating multi-tools the flanges have protrusions that the "Universal System" accessories fit snuggly into. This tool requires hex key to tighten and remove the accessories, whereas, other oscillating multi-tool are "tool-less" for mounting and removing accessories. Overall this oscillating multi-tool has lots of features.

I like the freedom of not having to deal with cords. I also like that this tool uses the standard RYOBI ONE 18-volt battery so it is interchangeable with my other tools. Even with the battery attached, it is lightweight and balanced. It has a small LED light on the tip, which is great for dark areas, but I found a few instances where the brightness blocked my view of what I was cutting. My tool came with a metal cutting blade, a wood cutting blade, and a sanding attachment. All of these blades had a complete circle hold for attaching to the tool. This required the complete unscrewing of the Allen nut in order to remove or swap out a blade. I am used to the type of blade that has an opening on the side so you can swap out a blade more quickly. Overall, I was very impressed by the look, feel, balance, and relatively quiet motor.

Oscillating Multi Tools have been an essential additional to the toolbox since they were introduced. I have used corded versions for years and find them great for small spaces or where a hand saw would take many minutes and allot of effort. They are very good for undercutting trim when installing a tile floor, quick drywall cutouts, and smaller wood cutting jobs. This Ryobi PCL430 model cordless version offers more flexibility because you can take it anywhere. It uses the OnePlus Ryobi 18-volt battery – which powers a line of over 225 tools. This is the tool only; you need to supply the battery and charger. The tool has impressive power for a battery-operated unit. The tool operates by moving the blade/pad up to 20,000 oscillations per minute and is controlled by an on/off trigger switch with a lock on features, and a variable speed dial. The built-in LED work light provides direct illumination of the work area. The multi-tool comes with two saw blades, a plunge cut blade for general use and a half-round flush cut finish blade. A variety of blades are available for specialty uses including blades for cutting metal. Also included is a detail triangular sanding pad with Velcro attached 60, 80, 120 grit sandpaper. To change blades/pad, a hex key is included, and can be stored on-board the saw. I use the plunge cut 1-inch blade most of the time, like an electric powered utility knife! The detail sanding pad can reach deep into corners. This is a very versatile tool and the freedom offered by being cordless is a nice upgrade. The tool is backed by a 3 -year warranty, and the Ryobi line of tools are dependable and durable.

I have a lot of Ryobi tools and batteries but this multi-tool is the one thing I have wanted for a long, long time but never had. This multi-tool is fantastic and has a lot of great features. It has 6 variable speed settings so you can adjust the speed to either the material you are working with or to what you are trying to accomplish with it. It has a built in Allan wrench in its base for quick change outs of the cutting tools or sanding wedge. It has a super bright LED light that is very, very bright for how small it is. There is a real nice grippy rubber material on the handle that makes it so it’s not slippery when handling it with your bare hand. They put little rubber retangles on both sides of the multi-tool so that when you set the tool down it doesn’t lay directly on the plastic housing. This same material is kind of grippy so if you lay it down on a sloped surface or smooth surface it will stay there. I have wanted one of these multi-tools for years for trimming the rotten trim around my side garage door. It has all rotted out from rain bouncing up under it and rotting it out over time. I really don’t want to replace all the trim, just the bottom couple inches that’s rotted on both sides. I also have the same problem around my two garage doors. This trim is much wider but this tool will allow me to cut these areas off and scab on a new piece on the bottom with no problems. I also wanted this tool to use as a sander. I have some rot around several of my upstairs windows from condensation ruining certain areas. I will be able to cut and sand these areas then repaint them to make them look new again. This multi-tool is pretty universal in that it can be used to cut wood, plastic, drywall, metal pipe and for sanding. I’m looking forward to finally fixing some of these projects around the house that I have put off because I didn’t have the proper tool to do them with. Now I do. If you already have other Ryobi tools and batteries I would definitely add this one to your collection. It has a lot of uses and you will be very happy you did.
