Customer Reviews for RYOBI ONE+ 18V Cordless Oscillating Multi-Tool Kit with 2.0 Ah Battery and Charger

I have been really impressed with all my Ryobi ONE+ 18v tools and this was no different. I debated on purchasing the HP brushless model over this one but ultimately decided to try the lower model and still have no complaints or issues with how well this tool performed on a very big job for countless hours of use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just bought this tool and it’s great for my garden. Using it for lumber for raised beds

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a few weeks ago. I needed to cut off some baseboard on either side of my closet door so I could install new door trim. Made the mistake of doing baseboard 1st and installing the door trim on top of baseboard. This tool worked fine, but it jumps around alot! That first cut, you gotta press down hard and getting a straight cut is tricky.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good product Good price when in rebate Variable speed !

I purchased this multitool to use for several projects but primarily to cut away the door skin of a hollow door I'm patching up. The tool did the job to perfection and because I could use it at odd angles and in tight spacing I didn't have to remove the door from the frame to get the job done. I expect to use this in the coming weeks again and again as the projects seem to always reveal a new project one after another.

I trust Ryobi as all of my tools are from them and all have worked without any issues. However, this one stopped working in the middle of the second cut. No signs of a burned or sparking motor. Just stopped working. Only the light will turn on. I wasn't cutting anything heavy, just plywood back of the cabinet. I returned one thinking this one was just faulty, and got a replacement. The new unit had a same exact issue on the second cut. I decided to get different multi-tool.

Third multitool I've bought this summer! All of them run fantastic and are unbeatable in their usefulness for getting into tight spaces while sanding our 15,000 sq ft deck this summer! I bought three so my helpers can each take one home with them once we complete the job! They'll be pleasantly surprised no doubt!

I used this blade to the bitter end. I wish it didn’t break so easily

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am redoing the transom on a 1983 24' Center Console. The tool is a must-have! A new blade can cust right through the gel coat and fiberglass. If you hold a vacuum cleaner, next to the head, you can cut, and vacuum at the same time, for a dust-free experience.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great tool, got one couple years ago for home needs. Now bought new one for work.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently purchased the 18V ONE+ Multi-Tool Kit, and I must say that it has been a game changer for my DIY projects. The kit is extremely versatile, allowing me to perform a wide range of tasks with just one tool, from cutting and sanding to scraping and grout removal. The cordless feature has made my work much easier, eliminating the need to be close to a power outlet and giving me the freedom to use it anywhere. The power and performance of this tool are outstanding, with the 18V battery providing sufficient runtime to complete most tasks without needing a recharge. The quick-change accessory system makes switching between tasks a breeze, saving me a lot of time and frustration. The ergonomics are excellent, with a comfortable grip that reduces fatigue during extended use. The kit includes a variety of attachments and accessories, making it an excellent value for the price. The carrying case is a nice bonus, keeping everything organized and easy to transport. In addition, the compatibility with the ONE+ battery system is a great feature, allowing me to use the same battery across multiple tools. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my purchase. The 18V ONE+ Multi-Tool Kit has become an indispensable part of my toolbox, making DIY projects much more enjoyable and efficient. I would highly recommend this tool to anyone in need of a versatile and reliable multi-tool for their home or workshop.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great tool, easy to use, was able to quickly clean up joints on beams in home.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this for small cutting jobs and it never disappoints definitely works as it should

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

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought one 2 years ago for installing hardwood floors in my home after the 2 dremels died back to back 3 days apart it is still running strong

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son got this for me for Christmas and I have used it several times. I used it to cut wholes in a 2x6 on a table top to drop in electrical outlets. Worked like a charm and had straight cuts. Also used it to cut excess off or some noodle boards. It left no markings and needed little sanding.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Recently bought … very good to use. No belt hooks and thats why 4 stars. Otherwise perfect

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Previous owner installed a tub surround with plenty of adhesives, we hoped to remove it with a minimum of collateral damage. Need for a flush cutting tool, plus Ryobi never once failing to deliver led us to this one. Powerful, easy to control device meant no damage to the floor tiles or sheet rock. Very happy with the selection of cutter & sanding attachments plus the LED light is helpful in tight spaces.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I cut some wood slats and it was fast and easy to use a godsend I’m loving this tool fantastic

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 review was collected as part of a promotion.] My multi tools it’s perfect for my work since I’m a painter it’s help me to do everything

Let me first start out by saying that I have a load of tools from Ryobi and have seldom been disappointed. This product however is an exception, followed by the customer service at Ryobi. I purchased this multitool for several reasons during a bathroom renovation. I needed the sanding function for sanding down old paint in the doorway, the cutting accessories for cutting the bottom of the doorframe to slip in a transition piece, notch the door hinges new locations, and cut a lengthwise piece of laminate down an inch to make room for the transition backing. It did not succeed in anything but the sanding (which is the only reason I am giving the single star and not zero). The blades stopped and got held up with any amount of pressure into the surfaces I was trying to cut. I ended up borrowing my father in laws Milwaukee version of the same thing and it blasted through those tasks with ease within seconds. My major concern is that if this tool is out performed so easily, how many of my other tools are under powered and outperformed by the likes of makita, Milwaukee, dewalt, etc. I’m a pretty loyal customer to Ryobi considering I have about 30 separate power tools…but this experience is making me question that loyalty. When I posted this review on the Ryobi Tools email for reviews someone did respond to me rather quickly at first. However, after I provided them my model number, address, etc as requested, I heard nothing back at all. It’s been over a week. Makes me feel as though they just don’t care at all about the quality of their tools…and I like buying quality tools a lot. Very unhappy with the service considering it’s my first experience with a poor quality tool and there is very little care from the manufacturer. See attached a pic of the tools I picked up for my birthday earlier this month alone to indicate I am a frequent buyer, as well as a pic and model/serial of the garbage multi-tool in question.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had wanted to try this tool out for a while and now I really don't think I could function without it. I've used this in traditional ways and on things I didn't even know I could use it for. I'm retired medically and my ability to do work is very small, but this has helped me a lot. I can't use it for a long period of time, but I love this thing

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.
