Despite success with tons of other Ryobi tools this jigsaw won’t cut straight or hold a blade consistently. Check out the other negative reviews and you’ll see a similar trend. I recommend spending over $100 and getting a better quality jigsaw.

Will not cut strait
Have tried many times with different materials but this jigsaw will not cut strait. I have a 10 year old $20 black and decker that cuts much more straight. The cutting head seems very loose and wobbly

Good for Work around the House
Not a bad little combo if you need a Drill and Impact Driver for work around the house. Not going to build any houses, but great for household fixer uppers

Handy piece of equipment
The first job for this sander was to get rid of cat scratches in my basement walls; it’s the right size for sanding individual panels prior to painting. Very good tool to have on hand.

Disappointed Home Depot not tools
When you buy something you expect it to be new, however after getting home and opening the box. Previous ryobi tools were always wrapped in plastic not these, batteries fully charged There was no manuals or paperwork in box. Thought better of Home Depot.

If you need dependable tools do not buy these!!
I chose this set for the value, after less than a year of owning these 3 out of 5 power tools have gone bad. The drills motor burnt out, the circular saws motor burnt out and the impact drivers bit holder broke. I will never buy ryobi again.

Super employee gift for a star team member to say thanks for his work through covid! One of our IT engineers shone over the last 16 months, so when he said he was in the market for a tool set, I asked him to wait for Memorial Day. Friday before the weekend, we presented him with this Ryobi set, and he was over the moon! He worked on improving his home window framing, and said how useful these tools were for the job, plus the huge number of compatible tools, all based on a battery that’s compatible with every Ryobi 18 volt tool ever made going back to the early 2000’s!

I used this sander to sand my living room and dining room floors after 3 refinishers refused the job or said I had to replace the floor because they would not sand face nailed wide plank floors. I spent a week crawling around on the floor going through 6 batteries every night and with a dust collection system running but I got the job done and the sander still works. Honestly for what I paid for this sander and the job I did I am completely satisfied, I ran this thing for an hour and a half to two hours straight for over a week and it still works.
For those that want to use a dust collector, I used the hose from the Rigid Car Detailing set, it is a 1-1/4 hose and it fit perfect, I combined it with a dusttopper and the system worked great until 120 grit when it a lot more dust got into the vacuum. Having just a hose to manage made this setup way better than a corded sander.

Great Combo Kit by RYOBI
Great quality, at a great price. It comes with the accessories needed for both saws and the multi-tool. My only issue, is that I wished the bag padding, and dividers to protect and separate the each item while in the bag.

Damaged Box
When I placed the order online and it said that the store had only 2 items left in stock. However, when person brought it out to me said that there was some damage to the box, and tried to cover the whole at the bottom of the box. She also stated that was the only left on the shelf. I also noticed that the item count on the store's website did not change since my purchase. I returned the item the next day. Would have been nice they offered to cover the warranty.

Purchased as a well-rounded and complete set of tools for household projects. Very satisfied with the look, feel, and adaptability of the interchangeable battery system. Tools have not been put to use yet. Post was made to share the initial product appearance upon arrival. I did use the orbital sander briefly, and I fell in love. I purchased this 12 tool package with the 300 piece drill and drive kit for $800 plus tax to start doing household maintenance and projects on my own. After one too many overpriced bids from contractors who feel the need to raise their cost based on their personal impressions of an owners willingness to spend, I am taking this amazing tool package and doing the jobs myself. The clean hands of the present are going to get dirty once again. $5300 to replace some simple patio steps? Thank you Ryobi tools for this combo package.

Absolute trash
My drill fell apart just before the one year mark. I called ryobi and they said to take it to the home depot tool rental location bit they are saying 6-8 weeks to fix it with no alternatives offered. Its true you get what tou payed for. I will never buy another ryobi product again and i recommend you dont either unless you want trash with an expiration date.

Great set that helped me build a shed. I can’t believe I have functioned without 2 drills before! With the big job of building the shed I did wish I had extra batteries. Also like the idea of adding tools as Ryobi has pretty much anything you could want at a great price.

Great kit, I had been looking for a small cordless circular saw and they price usually for $120 or so and when I saw that I could get all this for just $199 I had to jump on it. As for the tools, everything works as it should so no complaints there. The battery life is great, I have been building a dog crate this week using the impact with the 4ah battery over a 4 day period w/o charging and it's still going strong. All of them are well balanced and feel weighty in your hands but not too heavy. As for the saw I was wanting, that thing cuts like a hot knife through butter, and I'm talking about cutting a 45 through 3/4" russian birch not something flimsy. So, yes I recommend this product.

Product Defective Be Aware
I purchased this product to replace an older version. When I unboxed it and attempted to attach the dust collector to the main body, it did not fit. I measured the dust collector attachment opening and found it to be the same diameter as my old orbital sander's dust collector. I measured the exhaust part of the main body and found it to be nearly 1/2cm larger than my older orbital sander. It was not physically possible for the dust collector to attach to the main body. In addition, I tried pushing the new dust collector on the new product and it slipped resulting in a nasty cut on my hand.
I sent an e-mail to customer service and received an e-mail response to call customer service. I called customer service and was instructed to return the item to Home Depot. How about sending me a replacement and having me return the defective part?
Very disappointed with Ryobi. There is no excuse for such poor quality and customer service. I will return it and spend a little more money on a brand that I know has higher quality and standards.

Ryobi power kit
Wanted to be more organized, so i purchased this set. The price was way better than the other competitors. Or should be exactly for what i need. Those once in a while protects at home. I tried them out to make sure they're good and so far they are. I still haven't done a project with them though. Oh.... Make sure you get a kit that you will be using. I should've went with the 6 combo kit for 200 instead of the 8 for 400.

Bang for your buck
I have slowly been trying to add a Ryobi tool whenever I get a chance. This sander was the last one I picked up and it definitely gets the job done. The design, the quality and performance is is very good. I haven’t had a problem with it. I can’t wait to use it again.
The last time I used it I finally put pickets on my moms front doorstep deck area. She even helped out sanding.

Great For DIY and intro to RYOBI
This kit for the money is awesome. I have the older kit and have used it for my deck, shed, kitchen, and bathroom renovations with zero reliability issues. These tools are powerful enough to get through DIY projects.
We bought this set for my brother in law since he wants to get into the trades and for his birthday he was delighted. It is a great start set for people who want to get into the trades on a budget to figure out there needs and wants in the tools they use. I have used each of these 6 tools and put them in the ringer. Even though they are "brushed" tools they are dependable.

I actually liked the quality of the sander was nice to use and didn’t leave swirls on the small kitchen cabinet frame I was working on and it kept a good finish but with a new 1.5 amp hour battery I had to charge 3x to finish a very small project. Perhaps with a 4 or 6 amp hour battery it would have been more workable but I wasn’t willing to invest in them. Exchanged it for a corded model instead.

Buyers Beware
Let me start by saying this is a great buy. However the item description is wrong you receive 1 4.0 and 2 1.5 batteries. The tools are nice and work great. But it is misleading to the ones who base purchases off the description not the picture.
